TAFT TO SIT AS A JUDGE.
Cabinet Officers Will Submit Briefs In
Dispute Over the Law.


President Taft has been called upon
to sit as judge in arbitrating differ
ence of opinion between two members
of his cabinet arising out of a clash
In which Fred bennett. commissioner
of the land office, and Clifford Pinchot,
head of the forestry service, figure.
The misunderstanding grew out of
the refusal of Commissioner bennett
to withdraw certain public lands for
use of the forest service as ranger sta
tions, holding that the law would not
uphold such action on his part. His
stand was Endorsed by Secretary Bal.
Anger. Mr.. Pinchot insisted that the
law was plain on the point and that
no trouble ever had arisen in the past
over the right of the service to cause
the withdrawal Of such land as was
needed for the operation of his bureau
In this contention he had the support
of Secretary Wilson.
The matter was passed along to the
president, who has invited the cabinet
members to submit their briefs. The
matter will be considered by Mr.. Taft
and Attorney General Wickersham. II
is declared emphatically that no fric
ton between the two departments ex
lists and that the entire question Il
only one of the proper Interpretation
of the law.

Crisp has been the happiest man In
Trenton since the three women an
nounced that they were going to take
him with them and keep him abroad
for three months. He felt so light
hearted and light headed he had to
walk sideways to keep from flying.
He told all his friends that he was
afraid to go to sleep for fear he would
wake up and find his ocean voyage
changed into an ordinary ferryboat
trip. He is the envy of every police
man on the force.
Many policemen have asked to be
transferred to Crisp's old beat during
his absence in the hope that burglars
may give them a chance to show that
they are entitled to trip across the
ocean.
The three James sisters are the last
of one Of Trenton's oldest families.
When they close up their school each
year they go to Europe and remain
for the summer, returning in time to
receive their pupils for the fall term.

to keep the matter a secret. but 1t be-

board of police commissioners for leave

Yankton Press and Dakotan; A
news item from a Pierre correspon-
dent states that q railroad camp out
fit was shipped to some point west Of
the Missouri on the Northwestern on
Wednesday last, and there was much
speculation as to its destination. The
railroad people had nothing to give
out regarding it, and the only marks
on the train were that ii was railroad
property Taken in connection with
the unusually large number of Italian
laborers that are passing through on
their way to the front. the surmise is
ventured that the Northwestern pur-
poses to do some railroad extension
work from some point on its Pierre

extend in a northerly direction. TAX
en- in connection with the recent

of the state not now supplied with
transportation facilities and rapidly
filling up with sturdy class OF far
mer settlers. The St. Louis and Min
neapolis, which now terminates at lie
Beau, opposite the central portion of
the Cheyenne reservation, Is not ex-
pected to be an idle spectator of these
movements, which are directed
squarely at the territory which tho
st. l.. G. NJ. must traverse in extend
ing its line west of the river should
that be its purpose. The fact that
congress has been asked to grant a
bridge charter to that company at LIE
Beau is an assurance that it's design is
to extend, and the aggressive move
ments Of it's competitors will have q
tendency to expedite the forward
movement. This last named company
will also lay the iron on the old Aber-
deem and Pierre grade. but this work
may be deferred until 1910. The pres
ent situation certainly points to busy
times in the northwest part of South

"cLEAN THE THEATRES"

DR.. NJ H. Harris spoke to his con-

recently taking as his subject the con-
dition of the theatres in that city He
said, in part:
"The theatre Of to-day is not to be
despised because it is amusing alone
That was the Puritans' mistake. But
the theatre is becoming depraved, as
it was in the latter days of Rome and
Pompeii. Some of our modern plays
are immoral, although they are thought
to condemn sin. Instead they stir the
lowest imaginations
"This appears in two ways. In the
musical farces there is tendency to
treat lewdness with levity, and to
make a joke of immortality No play
is immoral that treats life seriously.
In the second place, that sort of play
is most popular to-day which deliber-
ately and with malice aforethought

"THE MISSION OF JUDAISM"

"THE MISSION OF JUDAISM"
"The Mission of Judaism" as de-
fined by the Rev. DR.. Philipson, Rab-
hi of Temple Bene Israel, Cincinnati,
and president OF the Central Confer
ence of American Rabbits, who
preached at Temple Israel on Sunday
a week ago.
"The idea of the Jews being the
chosen people still holds good, but
not in the way formerly supposed
not for favoritism, but for service and
obligation. The sraelites are servants
of God to carry out the ideals of
righteousness and justice.
'"The Mission of Judaism implies,
as matter of course, the mission OF
the Jew, and is carried out only if
every Jew will recognize his obliga-
ton to be in the forefront of every
endeavor for the betterment of man
kind and the furtherance of high ideals
of religion and morality.
'The Mission of Judaism, therefore
is to be understood in broad uni
versal sense. For this reason the Jews
are scattered throughout the world.
Judaism, then will not end in a small
political state in the western part of
Asia: This would mean a. turning
backward of the dial on the clock of
Israel

reactionary cries whereof the air is
now so full. The reactionaries say,
Back to Ghettoism,' Back to a narrow
past But our cry is, forward to the
mount of God Forward to the realiza-
ton of the prophetic ideals.
1--WE believe that freedonm is the
worlds Messiah. Even the lands
which are today the abodes of persecu-
ton and oppression will in due time
come under the influence of this Mes
siah, the spirit of freedom. This will
usher in the golden age"

THE JEWISH HERALD.

"Close the reform Synagogue today,
and you will not have any Judaism.
Our people will crowd the Unitarian
churches. If there is room for any
more Jews in the Christian Science
churches, they will go there. They
will fill the Protestant Episcopalian
churches. In short, they will leave
Judaism altogether and become con-
verts.
Those who are advocating a coun-
ter reformation have lost faith in
Judaism. The men who stand back
of the counter reformation don't know
what religion means.
1--WE want to retain realities, not
shadows or fitting ghosts. The
trouble is that Judaism today lacks
contact Who is going to decide what
forms and ceremonies shall be. re-
stored to save Judaism? There is not
one of these men who favors the coun-
ter-reformation who will accept rab-
binical law.
"What are they going to do about
the Sabbath in the counter-reforma-
ton? Do you think you can return to
the Orthodox Jewish Sabbath? You
know that in America the Jewish Sab
bath virtually does not exist. The
Jewish Sabbath cannot be re-estab
