Gorden Taylor's stage line be-
twee Isn,ay and Ekalaka started
Monday of lastweek and from
now on all winter there will be
mail service three times a week
betmeen Ismay and Ekalaka.
There has been quite a little talk
that the line would be q detriment
to the people of Ekalaka instead
of a improvement over the old
Miles, -Ekalaka stage line.
The people of Ekalaka have
been a little riled up over the.
fact that the stage should start
from Ismay instead vi Baker,
They state that the Earlingburt
Mercantile Co. and others of 1sny
had such a pull with the United
States Government that they re-

To have a medium wherein we may
be permitted to speak our mind regard

request of the always impartial and
ever obliging Jewish Herald to publish
the following: At recent called
meeting of Congregation the repeat
ed cry was heard "Politics!" "Poli-
tics!" 1t was evident that by this in
tended to be derogatory term the fol-
lowing was alluded to:
"a carefully prepared and we'll au-
thenticated statement of the income
and expenditures of the congregation
2. A request for greater professional
activity on the part of the Rabbi be-
fore his reelection
s. A demand on the Rabbi that he
abstain from violation of the dietary
laws as we'll as from desecrating the
Sabbath as it is laid down by ortho-
dox doctrine.
A. demand on the Rabbi to preach
on subjects interesting to and within
the scope of the understanding of the
attending members.
5. To insist that the Rabbi act with
greater sociability towards his flock
so that he may not be stranger to
them and know them in the House of
God only.
In contradistinction to all this the
following appears more entitled to that
odious term Politics" than the for
mer:
1. A statement of the income and
expenditure of the Congregation got
ten up by an individual member at his
own private expense, showing items at
variance with the official statement
2. Acknowledging the inactivity of
the Rabbi but voting for his reelection
with view of making him do his duty
after election.
8. The Rabbits acknowledged short
comings, notwithstanding, to vote for
his retention in office.
4. To express satisfaction with the
sermons of the Rabbi but fail to attend

DIRTY POLITICS.

The game of politics when played
for the uplift of humanity and the fur
therance of government is praisewor-
thy and commendable, but when poll
tics of vile brand are injected into
the religious life of a community by
demagogues seeking personal advan-
tage, it should forfeit the confidence
and respect of every honest man for
such politicians and ought to consign
them to ignominy and the dust of OBJ
livion. BY such an act they make of
themselves moral lepers.
On the eve of the election of a spirit
ual leader for Congregation Adath
Yeshurun, there was mailed to the mem
bers of that Congregation a statement
purporting to give the monthly in
come and monthly expenditures of the
Congregation, so pregnant with mis-
representation and falsehood that it
should not go unnoticed. The state.
ment showed total income of $685.
per month and monthly expenditure
of $495.S3, a deficit of $160S3 per
month No effort was made to render
to the members a full and complete
statement including the total assets
and liabilities of the Congregation, so
that just estimate of the present af-
fairs of the Congregation could be
made.
Below will be found a copy of said
statement as well as a statement pre-
pared by leading member of Congre-
cation Adath Yeshurun, completely re-
futing the statement issued by the
Board of Trustees of the Congregation,

TO FORM LEAGUE
TO PROTECT WOMEN

on Tuesday next at 4 o'clock meeting
will be held in the pariors OF the New
Century Club In the interests OF the As
sociation for the Protection OF Colored
Women This meeting is under the aus
pices OF the social service committee and
will be addressed by Mrs. S. W. Layten,
Secretary of the Philadelphia branch OF
the Association. The association is trying
to protect the many young colored women
who come north under contract with the
employment agencies. Eight per cent. of
these contracts have been found TO be
nefarious. and as the women have no
friends here and their clothing and money
is in the control OF the agencies, they have
no redress against them.
Members Of the association in Philadel-
ohia met one line Of steamers sailing from
Norfolk and IN one week found nine thous-
and of these girls. When the employment
agencies became aware Of the efforts OF
the association they arranged to have
many OF the girls land at Wilmington or
Chester and go into Philadelphia in other
WAYS. The association is anxious 70 ex-
tend its operations 10 this city and every
one interested in the betterment OF such
conditions is invited to attend this meet

required to wear masks.
When the guests have all arrived
they should be given placards with
numbers on them, which they should
wear around their necks much after
the fashion of the pity the blind"

Part OF the evening should be spent
in playing cards, and instead Of writ
ing their names on the score cards the
guests should write their numbers.
No end Of fun will be provided in
trying to guess who the different ones
are, and it increases the excitement
If the guests do not know who their
partners are even.
Just before supper the guests should
be given cards on which there are
numbers to correspond with those that
are on the cards that are hung around
their neclzs.
The guests mingle together and talk
to those whom they have not met dur
ing the evening. and when one person
thinks. he knows another he should
write down that persons name OPP
posite the number which corresponds
with that on the owners placard.
The guests then unmask and the
cards are collected after they have
been corrected. To the person guess
ing the greatest number of people cor
rectly a prize should be given S.

WHO SHOULD HOLD
PURSE OF FAMILY?
Husband, if the Wife is Poor
Manager, Declares Preacher
in Chicago

CHICAGO. May 2o--"Who should
carry the family pocketbook-t hus-
band or the wife?"
This complex question brought forth
deluge Of answers to the Rev. %. d.
Vaughn, pastor of the Institutional
Church. from his congregation. He
read them in connection with his ad-
dress on "The Ideal Family"
That the question as to who should
carry the family exchequer is puz-
Ter was heartily admitted. Here are a
few Of the answers;
The husband If the wife is poor
hnancier.
If both are good hnanciers, split the
money.
The wife should hold tho family
pocketbook, but give her husband an
/ allowance.
Each should have pocketbook be-
sides a general fund.
If a husband trusts his wife he ought
TO trust her enough to let her hold
the pocketbook.
Other Hard Questions.
The family pocketbook was but one
Of a series Of puzzlers The Rev. Mr..
Vaughn took up the ideal home" from
its every viewpoint. on the raising of
children he discovered that his con-
gregation differed in many points. al
though the majority said that to spare
the rod meant to spoil the child"
What ought to be the minimum in
| come of the husband at the time Of
marriage?"
This question. bearing so fatally on
1 the newly wed problem, brought forth
a storm of answers from the "unmar-
rieds" and expect to be,s." It is for
those enjoying single bliss that the
Rev. Mr.. Vaughn's series Of lectures
are especially intended. Here are a
few Of the answers.
''The salary should be at least si7 a
week"
1T is a mater Of character. not in
come"
lone hundred dollars a month provid-
ing both are willing TO take the risk"
Twenty dollars a week ought TO sup
u port family OF five and lay a little
aside for a rainy day"
"At least three times as much as II
takes to live on alone"
"Ought there be a law restricting
marriage when income is Insufficient
was another question.
Three answered "No" to this quos
tion. One answered "Yes" and another
said that the law also ought to in
clude the marriage of criminals aDs
idiots"
, Get Busy on These.
Among the other questions we're:
Ought goods to be bought on cred
it?"
Ought n child be whipped to en-
force obedience?"
Is punishment the greatest incen
I tive to obedience?"
"Should parents be free in their ex
5 preston Of love for their children?"
"Is lying TO children ever Justih
e able?"
e "should girls stop school at the as
= Of fourteen?"
= "should children be paid for tn
work they do at home?"
= "Should the wages Of children b
[ paid over to their Darents?"
k ''Is it right for parents to open thei
q children's mail?'
'Is it reasonable to expect childre
to be religious when their parents don
attend church,"
To these and a score of other ques
/. tions the answers were varied. on tn
question of lying to children there wa
a remarkable dissension. Part declare
that living was justihable i'm some cir
D cumstances. Others declared that
= the truth were told at all times tn
child would learn things that he shoul
r not.
