APPRECIATION OF
FATHER 0FLAHERTY
OLD FRIENDS AND PARISHION-
ERS AT KIMBALL REGRET
HIS DEPARTURE AND
EXPRESS 1T.

When Father O'Flaherty gave up
his pastorate in Kimball to come to
Mitchell to accept the same Office
for the Holy Family church, his old
friends and parishioners gave him a
farewell reception, which was attend
ed by members of the clergy from a
number of towns in the sttae, and
many friends from surrounding
towns. A number of addresses we're
made, all a tribute to the worth and
character of the departing pastor. A
purse amounting to 1915 was collect
ed from the legion OF friends and was
presented to Father O'Flaherty by
Attorney Woerth as a token of their
love and appreciation. The pastor
thanked the friends for the p~resenta-
ton Of the money, but he said he
knew of a family that was far more
in need of it than he, and turned the
full amount OF money yer to the
committee with a request that it be
given to the worthy family, which
has encountered some trying diff
culties. The young ladies of the
Catholic church presented Father
O'Flaherty with a handsome cut
glass water set.
In commenting on the work of
Father O'Flaherty in Kimball, the
Star of that place has the following
kind words:
! Word has been received by Rev.
Father O'Flaherty of our city, that
he has been transferred to the parish
at Mitchell, South Dakota. While
this news comes somewhat as a sur
prise to the Rev. Father as we'll as
to his many friends, it is doubtless

South Dakota's Example.

Sioux Falls Press: The idea of max
ing a party platform expressive Of the
sentiment Of the majority Of the
party seems to be to a large extent
original with South Dakota republi-
cans. The st. Paul Dispatch in an
editorial reproduced in another coll
umn says that the South Dakota
platform is the first republican plat
form It has heard of which admits
that the tariff may be used to "build
up giant combinations" The Dis
patch commends the frankness of the
South Dakota platform and believes
thatfit is a step in the direction Of a
better understanding of the real SEN
timent OF the party.
In Iowa the republican leaders and
newspapers are discussing the plat
form which the republicans Of that
state are to adopt in their convention
August 8. The Des Moines Register
and Leader speaks for frankness in
the Iowa platform and condemns the
practice of putting into state plat
forms a lot of meaningless reso.u-
tions indorsing the administration
state and national. This is exactly the
position@The Press took in regard to
the South Dakota platform before the
convention and is what 1t commended
in the resolutions after the conven-
ton.
The Register and Leader declares
that the administration Of President
Taft should be praised, and sees
much in 1t to be praised, but 1t be-
lieves this praise should be discrim-
mating, SC that the president and the
party throughout the nation may
know just what 1t is in the Taft adj
ministration that Iowa approves. In
short the platform is to be an Iowa
platform and should reflect the sen-
timents Of the majority Of the party
In Iowa.
1.-THE Iowa republicans follow the
lead OF South Dakota It is not not un-
likely that the Wisconsin republicans
will be moved to speak none the less
fearlessly. and these platforms may
give the national party a true idea
Of the republican sentiment in Che
MIDDLE west.

We are told that II the inmates OF

were to leave their skyscrapers at

It Is asserted that the population

10000 persons a year, which means
that In the next half century the city
will contain double the number Of in.
habitants that It does to-day.
Even granting that this rate OF in.
crease is somewhat exaggerated. the
necessity Of arranging for tremendous
expansion Is obvious to all. The
problems of transit up and down town
and from one quarter OF the city to
the other, the means of ingress and
egress. cry aloud for immediate con.

OHIO'S DISGRACE

The members of the mob at New
ark, Ohio, varied the usual mo-
notony of such proceedings by
lynching white man, instead of a
negro. Otherwise the little affair
in the Buckeye state was similar to
the lynching bees inIthe b lack belt.
The victim, acting as detective
for the anti-saloon league, had shot
and killed saloon keeper who had
70 rmerly been a police officer, and
was popular with the citizens of the
town.
Under ordinary circumstances
such a crime would have provoked
anger and resentment, although it
might not have been followed by
the rising of the populace seeking
the blood of the offender.
Unfortunately there were many
idle men upon the streets of New
ark, owing to strike of the en-
ployees of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. The young man who shot
the saloon keeper was recognized as
a strike breaker. Here was an op-
portunity not to be overlooked.
The Jail was stormed, the prison.
er taken out, cuffed, kicked and
otherwise abused and finally strung
up. Being strike breaker as we'll
as murderer, the trembling victim
knew when he heard the dull thud
Of the battering ram on the prison
door that mercy in his case was out
of the question. ....,..
The sheriff Of Licking county is
blamed for the lynching, and with
justice, for he appears to be one
those spineless individuals who are
sometimes. elected to office for al
most any other reason under the
sun except horse sense and, the
necessary qualifications to fill the
position
The tragedy at Newark is a dis
grace to the great state of Ohio,
and the members of this wild and
bloodthirsty mob should be speedily
brought to justice. There is no
possible excuse for such occurrences
in the north or the south, whether
the victim be white or black. It is
up to Governor Harmon to take the
necessary action, regardless of it's
possible political effect.
In the great west the people are
more law abiding and God-fearng
and lynchings seldom occur. In
Utah they never occur. Magazine

A REMARKABLE HEBREW MANU-
SCRIPT.
SCRIPT.

NJ. Philippe Berger has reported to
the Academy OF Inscriptions and Bel
les-Lettres, France, that among the
rich collection of documents which has
been discovered in a Turkestan tenn
pie after having been hidden for ten
centuries, is contained the leaf of a
manuscript which appears to be one
OF the most ancient specimens of He
brew writing in existence.
The text consists of a paper COM
posed Of passages drawn from the
Psalms and Prophets, and is written
in beautiful square Hebrew characters
pointed with somewhat elementary
system of vowels. The leaf was fold
ed up and appears to have been car
ried as an amulet by it's owner.
NJ. Berger has studied it carefully
in conjunction with M. Noise Schwab
Both are of opinion that the manu-
script dates from the eighth or ninth
century Their conclusions are sup
ported ny the great autnorlty, NJ. Eu-
lin. 1t bears strong resemblance to
the Hebrew-Persian manuscript which
M. Stein has brought from Turkestan,
which also dates back to the same pc
riod.
The document offers other peculi-
arities which deserves careful study.
NJ. Clermont Ganneau raises the ques-
ton whether the prayer, which prob
ably belonged to Jewish merchant,
who had migrated to Turkestan from
Arabia, was not actually copied in
China. This theory is strengthened
by the fact that the paper on which
it is written is of Chinese manufact-
ure and was at the time unknown in
Arabia.

Enrich was a Jew and for this rea-

professional post in Berlin, hence his
withdrawal to Frankfort

sis, is the greatest enemy of mankind.
His preparation, which has been test
ed with success by a great number
of physicians, destroys the germs

FRENCH WOMEN TO MINYAN.

That all is not well in French Jew
ish circles is easily gathered from the
following: At the late conference Of
French Rabbits, held in Paris, resolu-
lions were adopted that in case Of
need, women can be counted to our
traditional Minyan. Whether these
leaders of French Jewry had in mind
the precedent set by American Reform
fifty years ago is, of course, not easi-
ly ascertained. But the result shows
that the Rabbits must be in pretty
tight straits for masculine worshippers
when they can feel warrant for de-
molishing the requirements of tradi-
tional Judaism. For France to set the
rest of Europe, the very stronghold Of
our faith, such an inyertebrate exam
pie, was very poor policy on part of
the meeting, and should have required
