The oregon legislature meets only
every two years and the session lasts
for but 40 days During each session
a multitude Of measures come up for

legislature TO improve every moment

POOR BENEDICT.

Not long ago a western judge was
called upon to decide a case wherein
a husband sought to punish his wife
because she had taken money from
his pockets. Very gallantly the judge
ruled in favor of the woman and
turning TO the husband said
at is you who are to blame. Treat
your wife honestly, give her what
money she needs and has a right to
expect, and the sanctity of your pock-
etbook Will be respected. There are
too many men like you. They think
they are the custodians of the family
property, and, unless their wives beg
or weep. money is doled out to them
in quarters and fifty-cent pieces, or
not at all. Never come into my court
room with such a silly complaint
again"

Personal

Personal service is one
of the great problems of

which we will have to endeavOr II
workable conclusion. "a communal
worker writes on this most import
ant subject in the London Jewish
Chronicle, and lays his finger upon
four principal desiderata which are of
large bearing upon this line of labor.
In the first place, he instances the pro-
curing of communal workers who
spring up "here and there. weeds and
flowers together who must be OBJ
tained by means of an organization
for that purpose. 1t seems to us. how
ever, that the procuring should also
entail the going after the fit and the
potential fit. There are many men
and women, young and old. who are
totally unadapted for the work.
though most willing to undertake it.
Another matter advanced is the
proper distribution of the workers
thus obtained where they are mos.
wanted and not so much where they
especially desire to go. the preven-
tion of understanding and over-staff-
ing. Further, there is the training
of these workers. They must be cdu-
Gated to be stickers and not to run
away after short probationary term.
Here is very important matter. Here
there is oft II great leakage and waste.
And, lastly. the commercial work
must be efficiently organized by
means of permanent body of direc-
tion. which will regulate and system

Jewry is on the eve of Il recrudes-

orthodox Jews are organizing for self
defence and the liberals are preparing

warlike manifestations and prepara-

Our contemporary traces this to the

of the interdependence of Jewish his
tory and the history of the nations
has been repeated. stated. and re-

few years ago by DulmOw in his

In spite of the noteworthy features
that raise Jewish history above the
level of the ordinary. and assign it a
peculiar place. it is nevertheless not
isolated. not severed from the history

tendencies of human thought" But
not alone this. the history of the Jews

Last year, the team hit well enough

like Mansfield, Marion either knocked
the cover off the ball or could not

that won the pennant for Youngstown
as much as anything else, and the
