DR.. EMIL HIRSCH FAvORS PORK CHOPS

DR.. Emil G. Hirsch, preaching to
the young Jews Of Chicago who are
departed from orthodoxy and lacking
religious anchorage" under the aus
pices of the Peoples Synagogue asso-
citation, created a sensation when he
denounced the devotion to "supersti-
tious observance that characterizes
orthodoxy in some Of its manifesto
tions, and said:
Il urge you that, instead of ponder
ing about the observance of the
dietary laws, abstaining from certain
foods, you lead lives of righteousness
and help to spread our religion among
the people. We believe in one God
and that God in spiritual form. Let
us carry his word to our brethren.
THE Reformed Jewish church has
nothing to do with obsolete forms of
religion. 1t has to do with the unfit
cation of the peoples of the earth I'M
der one God, and the koshering of
meat is far less important in our
scheme of things than the rescue of
human beings from moral intelIect,,oI

CELEBRATION
 0F ARb0R DAY
How Crittenton Home Chil- dren Enjoyed Themselves on a Home Made" Holi- day. Planted Many Trees, Vines and Bushes.
(BY CATHlEEN F. PARED

Wednesday, the goth. was arbor day at the Crittenden home. Not by way of being odd. or slow, was this tardi- ness, but complete arrangements were not possible to have observed the state arbor day exercises. A uuan- tity of fruit trees. grape vines. black berry bushes were donated by Hall Brothers nursery men, and trees and plants generally by the members of the board and the circle respectively. were set out 10 the best advantage When the work was done the entire company resolved itself into a lawn party, and very pleasant, profitable. few hours were spent. Light re- treatments served by the matron of the home, being no small part of the days enjoyment.
 The pretty, happy children among the party added to the picture of spring presented by the affair. and taken as whole the home made arbor day at the CrittentOn home was a day well spent and one not soon to be forgotten.

lSTHMUS TRAFFIC

The president holds that he is bound to see that the pei earle traf- fife of the world across the Isshmus e
 Panama shall not longer be disturbed
 by constant succession of unneces- sary and wasteful civil wars
 The official records are open. Those records will either uphold the presi- dential assertion or they will prove it to be wild and inexcusable Let it be seen to what extent from the estab- fishing of the United States of CO1om- bia in 1863 to the Panama imbroglio of 1903, Isthmian transit was so dis turbed that the interference of 5he United States was required?
 In March, 1865, our Panama consul was apprehensive of harm from local lawlessness. and few marines guard ed the consul and other citizens for thirteen hours. In May. 1873. a small force of marines and sailors potect- cd the persons and property of Amer ican citizens in Panama for fifteen days. In September of the same year. similar service was rendered for sixteen days. In January. 1885. twelve marines guarded property in Colon for thirteen and one-half hours. Later in the same year. Isthmian transit was seriously interrupted and forces were landed for fifty six days Toward the close of 1901, protection of transit was required for fourteen days. In The autumn of 1902 transif was guarded for siXty-two days
 Thus during full forty years. United States forces were employed in only seven instances and for a total period of 1G4 days. In each case the forces were employed with Colombia's ap- prOval. Tn no case was there fight ing. the mere precautionary measures being sufficient In n case did the 1 force exceed S24 men. Moreover. in | four out of the seven instances there | was no Interruption nf transit" only l an apprehension of peril to persons and property. In fine, Isthmidl tan sit was interrupted ;r only three in- | stances in the forty years nf Cnlom- | bias history, and fo- only IS2 days.- Leander T. Chambe lam. in the Feb l ruary number of The North American i Review.

A SOP TO LABOR.

As q sop to the working classes, the democrats in congress. in preparing a revision of the iron and steel sched- ule of tho tariff. promise to establish a mechanics free 1ist. embracing all tolls used by artisans. This is the proverbiaI stone offered where bread is asked for. Eliminating the tariff on tools by cheapening tools of Amer ican manufacture. will also cheapen the labor of the great body of Amer ican mechanics engaged in the manu facture of tools and of the still great CT boI:. of workmen who produce the iron and steel out of which tools are made.
 Thus the democratic revisionistS would not only rob Peter to pay Paul, but they would make Peters loss manifold heavier than Paul's gain l. is an automatic truth that every re- duction in the earning power of home industry. on the pretext of ben citing consumers. operates to the detriment of a thousand consumers where one is benefited. However the benefiting of the greatest number of producers and consumers alike is pro- tective doctrine pure and simple and as this is not democratic doctrine. it is rot to be expected that democratic tariff tinkers should consider it for an instant.
 The democratic theory of an ideal tariff system is always the same and it implies a parity of American indus try gains in proportion. Naturally a majority of the American people has combated this theory since # was first advanced by the followers of Golden in this country. Naturally. if that majority has not become indifferent to it's own welfare. it will keep up the combat and welcome the forcing of the issue if only because of the renewal of the opportunity to reject the free trade idea in all it's phases. trade idea in all it's phases.-Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.

| The Chicago Tribune of the 2Otr I contains the following concerning Sn | Gilbert Parker who was q recent ! visitor in this valley:
 Sir Gilbert Parker. novelist and
 member of the British parliament. is guest of the Chicago Press club The English writer came to Chicago yesterday from Arizona, where he has been taking the rest cure. Comment ing on the political situation in his own country. he expressed the opinion
 that Woman's suffrage is long way
 off
 "The question of woman's suffrage in England differs materially from the
 same question in this country" he said Here you have the advantage
 of being able to experiment in the
 different states, without affecting to
 any appreciable extent the national
 or international policies of the cOun-
 try
 Tn my country the question is momentous one. We are face to face
 with the problems of irrevocably giv-
 ing the right of franchise to more
 women voters than there are men.
 The seriousness of such step can
 readily be appreciated For myself. I am opposed to it, and unless the wo- men are successful in the present par liament their cause stands little chance of being successful"
 Sir Gilbert is not a stranger to this country, having travelled here exten- sively many years ago. The author of The Right of Way Seats of the Mighty" etc. was enthusiastic over the climate of Arizona. which he said had completely restored his health.
 Tt is dangerous for politician either to write or talk" he asserted. but I would like to tell you who I think is the greatest man in the west Fred Harvey. In 1885, at Leaven- worth. Kas., l met MT. Harvey. l was then on my way across the con- tinent. He took from his pocket an | and wrote on it these words: | This is my friend. Horatio Gilbert | Parker He is all wool and two yards | wide There is nothing in my eating | houses good enough for him, but see that he has what there is To this document he signed his name. and although I have travelled in this country many times since those ,arly days. and have never again seen Mir. Harvey. I find myself unable to pay for food in the Harvey eating louses."

A crusade against ragtlme has been
started by the Santa Monica club wo-
men, in which Mrs G. H. Hutton Of
that city, who is an enthusiastic stu
dent of music, and music department
chairman of the District Federation
of Womens Clubs, asks that indivld-
ual clubs take up the cudgels. One
prominent club woman is quoted as
saying: "There may be good ragtime
and we are not objectlng to clean
popular music, but even the dancing
music and the popular street songs
need not be Objectionable. Strauss
and Sousa are examples Of popular
music that appeals to music lovers
and all classes Of listeners" Mrs.
Hutton speaks as representative of
federated club women. AS an anti
dote against the epidemic of ragtime
she suggests studying operas, form
ing of opera clubs, study Of symphony
orchestra programs, and attendance
OF recitals of orchestra and concerts
by leading musicians. She further
suggests that club women familarlze
themselves with various instruments
Of an orchestra, study their values
and learn to listen to music intelli-
gently In addition to this she adds
that each club program should begin
and end with a musical number, ac-
companied by a concise description
of the composer and his work The
repetition Of programs by musical
clubs which have no music depart
ment was a practical idea. Several
hotels have signifled their determina-
ton that hereafter ragtime shall not
be played in their orchestras.

The services of the past Sunday
were an advance on those of the pre-

and interest.
At the morning service four in
fants ond children received the sacra-

ice was a fitting reminder to those
who had previously received this sac
rament of the vows and promises
they then made. The sermon by the
priest, Father Brown, on "The Sin

applied to the case of infants in their
purity. and the grace received in holy
Baptism. In the evening the Very
