Jews. Pompey took Jaffa and made
it free town. included the Syrian
province, but Julius Caesar ordered
that all that had previously belong
ed to the Jews would be given
back to them and Jaffa was restOr-
ed. When Herod became king of
Judea, he was compelled to take
Jsffa by storm. Until then, Jaffa
was the chief port of Palestine, but
Herod built Caesarea with a spaci-
Gus harbor, and Jaffa fell from its
greatness. 1t however, remained an
important center until the destruc
ton of the second Temple it was
the twelfth most important Jew
ish town.
Afrer the destruction of the sec.
ond Temple. Jaffa was rebuilt. and
in the days of Talmud there were
still Jews there, from whom there
issued certain sageS Christianity
TO und it a spiritual center and IN
til the Arabian conquest 636 was
the seat of a bishop. Under the
Arabs Jaffa was a small, insigDific
ant place.
This history of Jsffa in the stormy
d avs of the Crusaders was one of
the bloody battles and distractions.
AS the nearest port of Jerusalem,
and as the central point on the road
between Syria and Egypt, along
with the Christian and Moslem
armies marched, marched against
one another, Jaffa had a great
strategic significance for both par
ties. 1t was taken by the Crusad-
ers in 1899, and Baldwin l rebuilt
and fortified it. In 1858 Christian.
ity was driven out One hundred
and fifty years later Jaffa was
again rebuilt and its harbor was
full of shipping. In 1882 a French
traveller, Bertrand de la Brono-
quere. found in Jsffa only a few
huts. In 1873 not single house
existed in Jsffa, In the seventh
century the government built a
small fort as a military post, and
little by little a settlement grew
in Jsffa. Niebuhr. in 1855. found
-four or five hundred houses there.

Possibly it was then a Phonecian
colony. 10 ~Solomon's time Jaffa
was the port of Jerusalem, and
Hiram, King of Tyre, sent thro'
j affa timber of Lebanon for the
Temple According to an old tradi.
ton Solom0n's wine cellars were 10
Jaffs.
After the break up of the Jewish
kingdom Jhffa was probably taken
away from the Jews In the days
of Jeroboam II, the ports, among
them JHffa, fell under the dominion
of Assyrians In those days Jonah
fled by ship from Jaffa. Hesekiab,
W no broke the Assyrian dominion.
won back the Philistine towns as
far as GAIA, among them, Jaffa.
Jaffa is not mentioned in the Bible
story, but an inscription of Sen
ma cherib, king of Syria, relates that
the towns of Bethhagen, Benz
B'rach, Huzah and Jaffa under
Hezekiah. the king. revolted against
Sennacherib, and. therefore, Sem
nacherib came with his army, 70l
B. c.. into Judea, to punish the Jew
ish king.
After Alexander, in 1888 B. C.
stormed the town, it passed from
hand to hand for two centuries The
Egyptian and Syrian Greeks fought
for the loTdship of Jaffa and the
other coast towns Of Syria and Pal
estine Under the Caccabees the
population of Jaffa was Hellenistic
but there were also Jews. In 148
B. G. Jonathan took Jaffa and forth
fled it. Later Simon put a Jewish
garrison in the town and when Pal
estine as a whole was freed from
alien rule, he fortified Jeffa and dug
a harbor there for the foreign trade
of the Jewish kingdom. Jews from
other districts settled there, and
Jaffa became the most Jewish OF
all the towns on the coast. In 9th.
er PaleStlnian ports large Part Of
the population was Greek and hos.
tile to the Jews.
In the first year of John Hyrcan-
US 1876 B. c, AntiOchuS took Jaffa
but the Roman senate ordered him
to restore the town and ports to the

Question of Revenue

Heretofore when one discussed
the question of revenue in relation
to the prohibition issue, he was un-
der suspicion of putting out "politi-
cal buncOmbe in the interest of the
brewers" Now. happily we may
approach the discussion with the
atmosphere somewhat clarified, The
prohibition issue is now no more
But the question of revenue is one
that must be solved by the State of
Missouri and solved Immediately
In round numbers. this State
must make up a loss of about three
million dollars during the biennial
period. The continuance of the
liquor business until July LIST will
take care of about one-fourth of this
amount. If the federal authorities
could be induced to postpone the
July LIST ban until the taking effect
of the federal amendment. it would
mean another S750,O00 for Missouri
But from present appearances. there
is small likelihood of that. There
fore, we must expect the present
Legislature to find something more
than $2,000.0O0 in new and sddi-
tional revenues for the present bi,
ennial period. and two and quarter
millions will be just about the fig.
ure. This is the problem that must
be solved by Missouri lawmakers
this winter, and we have every con-
fidence in their ability to do it; but
nevertheless, it will be a real task
and enc deserving the best thought

Jaffa is one of the oldest towns in

Passing of Time

What DO they show? How have
we used our capital during the year?
What has been our gain or loss?
Perhaps we are surprised. astonish-
ed, ashamed to find that we have
wasted so much time, that we have
spent so much valuable time fool
ishly, that we have frequently kill
ed time" which might have peen
used to our profit and happiness
aud in such a way as to have help
ed other We had just as much
time during the y ar as any other
man or woman on earth. Ii seems
that somehow most of the good
things in this world are uneQually
divided. Not so with time, without
which all things are valueless. All
the time that has passed is forever
gone We cannot call back one
single second or improve the use
we made or failed to make of the
time that has passed. All the time
of which we can boast is the pre-
sent moment, and the only way we
can guarantee the right use of our
time is to use each moment as
through there was no more. We
have no assurance of being granted
another minute of time, and none
are better off in this particular ian
