RABBIS AND SUFFRAGE.

At the meeting Of the Eastern
Council of Reform Rabbits held in
New York the other day, the ma
tional question of woman's suffrage
gave rise to a heated discussion,
although it was finally settled by
the adoption of resolution favor
ing referendum of the issue. A
heated discussion means that there
was considerable opposition to it.
That modern rabbis should be op-
posed to it, is a great puzzle to us,
and only shows the traditional or
habitual conservatism of the clergy.
We felt that among the thinking
and thoughtful the issue was long
settled. We do not even feel called
upon to make propaganda for it
any more, since we consider the
speedy attainment of woman's suff-

MINNEAPOLIS SETS THE PACE

IN NORTHWEST.
The Jews of Minneapolis have
made a record for themselves, a
record in generous giving for the
war sufferers relief, which will be
hard for any community to excel.
With twenty-five thousand dollars
pledged at a noon luncheon, and
about fifteen thousand at the Audi
forum mass meeting, and with the
offers Of three men to contribute
1712 per cent of the total given by
the entire community, and with
many more people of means not yet
heard from, Minneapolis bids fair
to come up to the $4,000 mark set
for it by the New York Joint Dis
tribution Committee as it's share
of the $10,000,000 fund.
The enthusiasm and generosity
aroused at the two meetings were
wonderful. Men gave five times as
much as they originally intended
to give. Women took their dia-
mond rings off their fngers-they
were women of the Self-Denial
Club-and had them auctioned off
for the benefit of the fund, and men
eagerly bid large sums for the

"The Israelite would like to know

with more than one name. Quite
few rabbis, like clergymen Of other
denominations, are nowadays given
to the practice of self-advertising.
1t pays to advertise, is a we'll
established principle. And why

quent occurrence, almost dispro-
portlonate to the space of whole
news letters. Of course, the rabbi
is an important member of the
community, and is always "doing
things" But the fact that all of it
appears in print arouses the sus-
p;cion that, if not written by the
rabbi himself, it is most likely edit
ed by very near relative. In the
weekly news budget from one city
the first item invariably reads:
"Rabbi-- delivered a lecture

THE SAD NEWS FROM PALES-
TINE.

Some days ago warnings had
come from England to this country
that the Turks and Arabs were
planning massacres and other acts
of dire vengeance upon the Jews of
Palestine. Since then news dis
patches in the general press have
confirmed the fears on which those
warnings were based. We hope
that the reports Of brutal mas
sacres of the Jews of Jaffa were eX-
aggerated. But even so, their ex-
pulsion from that city on short no
tice must have worked untold hard
ships and in many cases complete
ruin on the poor Jewish population.
And who knows whether other
Jewish settlements of that vicinity
will not soon suffer similar fate?
What may be the reason for this
outburst Of brutality on the part
of the Mohammedans of Palestine?
We suppose that it is simply the
result Of war-panic that generally
strikes blindly and furiously. 1t
may have been brought on or in
tensifed by the approach of the
English in that direction, and the
fear of the Mohammedans that
Palestine would soon be taken from
them. AS usual, the Jews are the
first victims of the populace's panic
and fury. Jemmal Pasha, the mill
tary governor of Palestine has
never been very friendly to the
Jews. Yet the native or naturaliz-
ed Jews of the Ottoman empire
have always been loyal subjects. If
the atrocities perpetrated upon the
Jews of Palestine have the en-
enlargement or connivance of the
government authorities, Turkey
may yet rue the day when it joined
the lists of our prosecutors.

FIRE Chief issues
WARMING TO People
Urges Precaution in Burning Trash,
Carelessness Resulting in Sew
eral Fires Recently.

AS a result of the frequent calls for
the fire department the past few days
to extinguish fires caused by careless
methods in burning piles of trash,
Fire Chief A. G. Briener has issued
urgent warning to all property own
ers and tenants not to burn trash in
backwards or alleys, except under the
most careful conditions.
Sudden gusts of wind are likely to
scatter burning brands and sparks to
neighboring roofs, where the tinder-
like shingles ignite, causing damage
which might easily be serious. Often
a fire of this kind will shoulder for
some time before bursting into flame,
and on this account it is being espe-
cially urged that no trash piles be
burned late in the day.
Slight damage was done about 1890
o'clock yesterday noon to the roof of
the home of G.. S. Rice, SO Main
street, by fire caused from a trash
pile. incidentally, an unidentified
white man, passing by on street car,
noticed the small blaze On the roof OF
the house, hurriedly stopped the car
and alighted, climbed quickly to the
roof of the house and tore off the
burning shingles, virtually extinguish-
ing the blaze himself. He suffered

Those who saw her in Goose Girl"
and "Miss George washington" know
how charming she can be, but wild
flower suits her talents even better
than Goose Girl and she will win
much admiration for her splendid
work in this picture. The story deals
with the love Of two bl others for the
little woodland nymph, Lefty, who is
swept off her feet by the tempestuous
love making of the younger brother,
with whom she elopes but the olde"
brother finds her and takes her
away and protects her from his
brothers designs and then gradually
falls in love with her and forces her
to see that his is the greater and
finer love Of the two.
