The monotony Of the suns rays was
broken again yesterday when during

at drawing on of evening more rain
fell. IL was a refreshing rain. The
lightning danced away off in the dis
tant heavens and the thunder could
be heard rolling overhead, but VIII
mington was not affected by either. IL
was only the rain that affected these
immediate parts and a great deal Of
relief was brought.
At about the time the rain started TO
come down in punches, the sstreets
down town were crowded with people.
1t was not LONG before the streets were
deserted. for the floods that came
pouring out OF the sky Utterly swamp.

TUG HAGAN
A TOTAL LOSS

The tug Hagan. which was burned in
the Delaware River. off Bridesburg on
Wednesday night has teen examined
by surveyors and declared to be a total
loss. Captain HemDh.u. the master Of
the tug, attributes the FIRE to the elec~
trical storm which was passing over
the river at the time. The fire was
first discovered in the forward part Of
the vessel. which he thinks was struck
by lightning. He says the crew had
barely time to escape. and would have
lost their lives had they not jumped
overheard and swan ashore.

SMALL BOAT OWNERS
COMPLAIN OF NEW LAW

Owners OF small motor crafts are COM
planning OF the government law which
compels them to carry bells, whistles and
other safety appliances, by which a
small boat is unnecessarily encumbered
There seems to be little doubt that the
regulations are extreme when applied to
small crafts, however, and they VIII no
doubt be modified as a result Of the Wig
orous protest that is being made along
the coast over their enforcement. No
fault can be found with the administra-
ton OF the Revenue Department. which
IS not responsible for the laws It is
to he attributed rather TO those who
framed the regulations. who evidently
overlooked the contingency arising from
its application TO boats under fifteen feet
I'm length. This law, as it stands. mu$ be
enforced until repealed or modified.

If to translate ideals into practice.
if to crystallize principles into popu-

binical Judaism did, in the field of
charity, signalize an advance upon the
Biblical era. You will not expect of
me that | furnish cumbersome ar
mory of proof, but many Of you know
how pervasive and eXacting, how in
exorably sincere and consistent were
the charitable practices of our fathers.
They had widened the concept OF
charity from the justice that demands
assistance for the weak to the kindli-
ness which finds opportunities for
service i'm every critical situation of

The Grand Rabbi.
nate of France

The somewhat pcssimistic views
which on different occasions | have
expressed on the subject of the fu-
turc of French Judaism. have just
received fresh confirmation III con-
ncction with the clcct,ons which
were held recently Throughout the
country delegates have to be ap-
pointed who. in conjunction with The
Central Consistory. will he called
upon to designate the successor Cf
the lamcnted Iador Kahn III the
Grand Rabbinate of France.
If we may form conclusions from
the voting in Paris - which is the
life and soul of French Judaism. IT
does not appear that we have cause
for satisfaction with the vitality o.
Jewish sentiment. Out of 3.46l ~
very limited proportion of tho Jew
ish population in Paris who are ou

Nevertheless. the contest was some
what exciting. for two lists had been
drawn up. one claiming the support
of the Orthodox, and the other that
of the Liberals. AS one-third of the
electors did not vote. fresh ballot
will take place next Sunday.
1t is curious to note IN connection
with this subject the sentiments of
the Jewish population concerning
the special question which pre-occu.
The Jewish outlook., 1908-02-21

is above all imperative that, except IN
the trade centers, no languages shall
be taught except Hebrew, Turkish
and Arabic. If the people are pro-
vided with a European language they
become possessed of an instrument
which is the strongest incentive to
emigrate Thus the very evil we are
all striving to eradicate would act
ually be perpetuated and nourished.
French, English and German should
be made available only in the larger
towns and to the more educated
classes.
''The attitude Of the Turkish gov
ernment towards the Jews resident in
Palestine and other portions OF the
Ottoman empire is distinctly friendly.
The Turk does not fear the political
activity of the Jew as he fears it from
the Armenian or Greek. Every en-
deavor of the Jewish race to accom-
plish its regeneration enjoys the
hearty encouragement of the Sultan's
authorities. and | was assured that
the Turk will gladly accept the coop
Grafton of the Jews in the conduct OF
Turkish affairs when the race has NOR
ally and intellectually equipped itself
for such participation.
''The American colleges in Con-
stantinople and Beirut have become
the leading ccnters of intellectual life
for the non n-MOhammedan element III
the whole Mohammedan realm. Their
influence penetrateS even to remote
Persia. The great need Of the Jewish
residents of the Moslem world is some
great central institution of learning
on the lines of these model American
establishments. The Jews are already
received in both of them. but there
is essentially II Protestant atmosphere
and compulsion on all attendants to
participate in Christian ccrcmonials,
and this makes them. of course. unde-
sirable from the orthodox Jewish
standpoint The Jews of America
and Europe could erect no more cf-
fectivc and lasting monurncnS to the
bcttermcnt of their race in ancient
.Iudea than the foundation of jew

can institutions mentioned. where

Jewish Charity
REV. DIR. MAX HELLER,

Is there such thing as Jewish
charity! If the term We're meant to
claim monopoly. to maintain tina:
we have invented that virtue, that our
religion is the only one which breaches
it earnestly, our race the only set of
people who practice it enthusiastic
ally, | should spurn any such phrase
as contrary to the spirit of charity
itself. There is no Jewish or Chris
tian or Mohammedan charity in any
sense of exclusive proprictorship;
The Jewish outlook., 1908-02-21

pies the attention of French Juda-
ism. | have collected various opln-
ions which | reproduce.
Several of our Jewish fellow wciti
zens ask: SIS it necessary to have
IA Grand Rabbin? In other countries
where Judaism is in a much more
prosperous condition the rabbinate
knows no hierarchy. With the sep
aration of church and state there
is no longer any reason why the
office should be continued, for I'M
der the old regime rabbls were func-
tionaries subject to the authority OF
a still higher functiOnary. the Crane
Rabbin of France, but this regime
has now disappeared. The con-
siderable abstentiOn of voters. which
was due in great part to general III
difference, is also attributable to the
reason which | have just mentioned.
But even by this mode of abstention
the electors cannot prevent the re-
establishment of the functions OF the
Grand Rabbn since it has been de
cided upon by the Central Consist
DRY to whom the representatives OF
the communities are to be joined for
this purpose. However. say some.
if we cannot directly prevent the
nomination we can do so Indirectly.
The body which will have to nomi-
nate the Grand Rabbin will consist
of about thirty members of the Cen
tral Consistory and the same num-
ber of delegates. In order that it
may be able to vote. this body must
comprise two-thirds of its members.
namely, forty. Now. if strike were
organized. the Central Consistory, in
spite of its constitution. would be
unable to appoint Il spiritual Chief
of French Judaism. Others declare
that this chief should not be dcsig-
mated solely by laymen, but that the
rabbinical corps in France. which
consists of some fifty members.
titled to vote for the new Grand
Rabbin. Others. again. ask. Be
fore proceeding to make an appoint
mcnt which would constitute
heavy charge. would it not be better
To assure and improve the situation
of the provincial rabbis which is
often prccarious?' This view is
especially expressed in tn. prov
inccs. The best proof. say the pro
vincial Jews. that the present re
sources are insufficient. and that
there is no ground for creating fresh
burdens. is that several rabbinatcs
have become vacant since the sep
aration law was put into operation.
and that these posts have not yet been
filed.
In spite of all. it may be regarded
as certain that a strike will not take
place. and that Grand Rabbin will
be elected. The candidates whose
names have already been mentioned
are carrying on an active campaign
in their own interests and are So
Letting votes. The prospects of each
are being discussed. and the opti-
mists declare that the cre-cstablishment
of the post will bring about a new
era of vitality in French Judaism
the state of which DR.. Nort,au last
year so severely but so justly stig-
matized in the Jewish Chronicle.
