THE WISE 4NNTVERSARY.

The anniversary of the death of Isaac NJ.
Wise has been remembered in many Jewish
congregations of the Reform wing since 1900,
when the champion of Jewish modernism. who
for more than fifty years fought, under the
motto Let There Be Light" against perpetual
ing in the New World the customs and usages
of the Old died at an advanced age. The history
of the reform movement among the Jews of
1he United States shows that some men had
preceded Wise in efforts TO cast off the inheri-
tances of the orient and TO remould the ritual
with a view to making the service attractive 10
the rising generation. As early as 1910 Israel
Jacobson enunciated the Reform idea in Europe,
but he had only few followers, and in 1871.
before Wise came TO America, Reform con-
gregation was organized at Charleston, ). {.
A wear later Baltimore followed, and in 1915
the Reform congregation OF Emanuel was
formed in New York. But the men who were
at the head of these organizations exerted little
or no influence outside their own hocks, they
created no enthusiasm for the cause which they
espoIsed and il was reserved for Wise

OF unusual powers and a lighter who could not

spot in the history of American JlIda ism. The
militant reformer who had been bold enough TO
advocate family pews in place Of separate pews
for men and women: who had said that men
might enter the house Of worship with their
heads uncovered. despite the Oriental custom
which forbids the practice; who had spoken
OF the Hebrew a dead language" and had
advocated more English aid less Hebrew in
the service" was assaulted In his pulpit. driven

The enthusiasm with which San Francisco
greeted the first New lorkto-Paris automoDile
reaching that city is quite comprehensive. Asioe
from the unparalleled magnitude Of the enter
prise in which the machine is engaged. there IS
ample cause for wonder in the speed and reia-
tive ease with which the chaufeurs have rushed
across the continent in the dead of winter 1t
is no small achievement to have driven "a ma
chine 1882 miles in forty-two days through
blizzards waist deep snowdriftS, ice, sl,lsh and
plain mud Although this running time from
coast to coast by no means equals the record,
1t virtually outclasses all previous perform
ances Because Of the season. the route 1oi-
lowed was about eight hundred miles longer
than the one chosen by earlier travellers, who
naturally humored their automobiles with sum-
mer roads and their chauffeurs with balmy
weather.
But the chief reason for the lively interest
shown by Californians around the Bay is
doubtless found in the nationality of the first
comers and the decsiveness with which they
have outstripped their rivals in the earliest
stage OF the race. An American car handled
bv an American crew has left its closest COM
petitor 1.216 miles behind the smell of its ex-
haust. OF course. after the shouting of auto
mobile jingoes has died away the fair minded
will make some important allowances which
must somewhat qualify the winners apparent
superiority. The American machine has pr0flted
by inevitable advantages. The drivers famil-
iarity with American conditions must have
added several miles TO their lead every day.
American rlItS. for instance. cost the cha uf1eur
who does not know their wiles many an hour.
The American eye is quicker TO perceive that
the lane through a wood lot is a short cut. Ana

these reasons the lead of 1,216 miles tnearly

Nevertheless. when all conceivable allowances
