EXPERIMENT FARM FOR IDAHO
Government Plans station On 1900.
Acre Tract.


LEWISTON, Ida, June Few
citizens Of Lewiston and even fewer
In other parts OF the state know OF
the gift Uncle Sam will some day
make to the state, but those who do
feel proud that Idaho will possess a
1300-acre farm with plenty OF
buildings to make 1t available as an
experiment station, for the Lapwai
indian agency would be an ideal
agricultural experiment station and
It will be in reality in a shorter
time than many believe.
In rather narrow valley on Lap
wal creek the government maintains
an agency boarding school, where the
youthful Nez Perces receive their
education. Agent o. Fl. Lipps, the
personal representative OF the White
Father" has his Official family there
also. The first use made OF the
1300-acre tract was the establis-
ment Of an army post. The build.
ings were constructed for the ac-
commodation OF an army corps. A
row Of small cottages used for
officers families ID now used by
school employees, while the great
army hospital. with its wide yeranda
on both floors, Is the home Of the
brown-skinned Indian maidens whose
ancestors made it necessary for the
existence OF the post.
Other buildings have been built
from time to time, until now the
group contains more than a dozen
structures, some Of them being mod
ern and suitable for other uses.
Barnes and outbuildings are already
here, for the government teaches
the Indian the art OF husbandry.
Al an experiment station the agency
school Ia peculiarly fitted for Idaho.
In the valley horticulture can be
demonstrated, as portion Of the
land is now under irrigation, and,
40 It 10 the same altitude as the
fruit belt OF Idaho, It's advantage
ID apparent. The 1900 acres rise
gradually until, at the far side, grain
growing can be shown under con-
iitions similar to those found on the
higher grain attitudes.
When this property will be turned
over to the state ID problematical
Dut II ID certain to occur within Ave
rears. The boarding school will un-
be closed soon. The In
Han department will close almost a
dozen similar schools next month
Ind the ak will reach Lapwai in an
,ther year. Az work will be lessened
md In a short time the Indians will
reed but little assistance, and then
he government will have no further
Use for the farm. That the Indians
lave received their education in
houses meant to awe their fathers
3 considered the fitting climax Of
he work OF conquering the tribe.

The Jewish outlook., 1908-07-17

The strangest phase of the most
recent Jewish movement is its COM
plete divorce from religion. There
are. it is true. Nationalist Jews who
are not only religious, but who are
Nationalist because they are religious.
TO them, the Holy Land is holy and
their aspiration for it is not so much
for the land of their ancestors as for
the fulfillment of prophesy. For them,
Zionism is the attempt to translate
into action, prayers for the restora-
ton of Zion. uttered by Israel for
two thousand years and with equal
earnestness and sincerity daily ut
tered by them. These, however, cnn-
stitute "A very small fraction of the
Nationalist party and are practically
to be found not at all among the lead

The great bulk of the NationalistS
are Indifferent to the religious side OF
Judaism and many are worse than III

Looking at Eastern Europe and see
ing how the two great countries which
harbor about thrcc-fourths of all the
Jews in the world-Russia and

makes their dreams more complex but
makes them not less hopeful of its
ultimate realization.
The very reasons that have made
for the growth of Nationalism abroad,
have made here for its inetficiency.
In Russia and Austria. where Zion
ism is strongest, all the people are
hopelessly divided into racial classes,
i'm which they seek to remain genera
ton after generation. In the United
States the races are thrown into one
vast crucible from which they pres
emily emerge as American citizens
and after two generations their orig

vital influence than Zionism has yet
produced here to make American
Jews feel themselves otherwise.
There is. of course. another form
of Zionism which may make and has
made converts among American Jews.
This is what may be called Altruistic

What Is Faith
By RABBI l.. WEISS.

With Christians faith is the all
important subject, and in the New
Testament the word appears very
numerously; but, strange as it may
seem, the Old Testament has it but
twice in all its pages. Moses and the
prophets all eXhorted Israel to know
God. and fear him, that is, reverence
him. while the New Testament writ
ers urge to believe and be saved.
To analyZe the word faith from its
etymolOgy, it is from the Latin fidere,
to trust, which agrees with the He
brew emunah: while the English
would make it, that which is believed,
on any subject. be it science, politics,
religion. or Il doctrine or system
of doctrines believed in, which is not
as satisfactory in meaning as the
Latin and the Hebrew expressions.
We may hold faith as the holiest
spark in our bosom, yet it is only be-
lief, and belief is uncertain: but trust
is a different proposition altogether.
TO believe in God and trust in God,
are two different ideas.
The Old Testament Uses less am
biguous term when expressing the at
tachment of man to God. 1t makes
him to know God, to fear God, to trust
God. When Abraham is said to have
believed in God and it was counted
TO hin, Gs righteousness, Tho .n.sssslss:oai
was imbued with the faith idea and
rendered it accordingly: for the
proper translation would be: ''He
trusted Che. emin) in the Lord" etc.
When the Translator of the English
Bible renders Habakuk ii, 4 the just
shall live i'm his faith (be-emunatho).
it should be in his trustfulness.
There is quite difference between
the two terms Although usage makes
thing right. when we perfectly un-
derstand what the import of the sub
ject is. whether it is expressed in one
term or another. faith or trust, it
matters not especially in this age of
high culture. when words are not con-
sidered as much as the spirit Of
words: yet there are people galore
who take the word. very little think
ing what there is beneath the sur
face. They have faith, whatever the
import of that faith is does not enter
their mind. 1t is not the established
faith. not the trlstful faith, but the
blind faith.
The established faith is the firm
faith guided by reason and justice.
One who is firm in his faith. so firm
that. though he would listen to differ
ing opinions and arguments. no argu-
ment could shake his faith. He would
extend every courtesy to his fellow
men and not violate his right, the
same as he would want to be accorded
to himself He would respect the
faith and religion of others as he
would that others should respect his
own. This is established faith, be-
cause it rests on basic truth. The
trustful faith is a little feebler 1t is
the faith formed and conceived with
out much knowledge. 1t is assailed
and attacked. but the possessor there
of. not having knowledge to defend
his faith. simply trusts in his faith,
his conscience tells him to do so with
out rhyme or reason. Blind faith is
the feebest. poorest faith of all, rest
