May rlsan Rate War

A western passenger rate war
which will include practically every
trunk line between Colorado and
Chicago and which may result in
such slashing as never has been
equaled in this part of the country
seems to I've impending. Local rail
road men are of the opii i n that the
recent low rates offered to Kansas
City is but the beginning OF the
fun and where it will terminate no
one seems to know. There 10 no
doubt but what the various lines
are planning retaliation against the
Union Pacific for its break in the
tariff agreements of last week, and
with the present rate to Kansas
City and return lower, than it has
ever been before, the contest for
business At any cost between the
various lines appears to be in its
infancy. For more than two years
things have been quiet in the west
from the standpoint of passenger
rates. and the action Of the Union
Pacific last week in which it offer

City from Colorado of $3.50 ex-
ploded among the various lines like
a bombshell in church social

complete revision. A commission
OF competent irrigaiors and irriga.

With a view to encouraging dry

JUDAISM Is GIFT OF BIRTH,
DECLARES RABBI HIRSCH.
Chicago Leader Speaks on Re.
form Movement.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Central
Conference of American Rabbis, which
is in session in this city, will today
appoint a committee to attend the fu-
neral of the Rev. Joseph Asher, of Chi
cago. A short memorial service will
be held also at Temple Emanuel.
In his memorial address in honor Of
the centenary of the birth of David
Einhorn, Rabbi Emil G.. Hirsch, Of
Sinai Congregation, Chicago. drew from
the teachings of the great Jewish re-
form leader striking conclusions for
the guidance of the reform movement
today. DR.. HSrsch said there is much
in reform Judaism today that is no
longer Jewish.
DR.. Hirsch came out strongly against
the Zionists and n~ationallic Jews who
see in the Jewish race and the restora-
ton of Palestine the chief concern of
Judaism. Many OF those who have
prayed for years for a return to Zion,
he said. would drop dead with the
shock If they had to go back.
Judaism, he said, is not a matter of
confession, nor yet of race alone. He
declared it a gift Of birth that cannot
be lost or shaken off and that carries
with it the mission of spreading the
m~onotheistic conception among all ma
tons until the messianic age OF love
and righteousness be accomplished.
