death of Theodore Roosevelt, an ex-

the outrages which Roumania COM
mitted against her Jews and which
was voiced in note by Secretary
Hay on September II, 1902, and

which he showed in the case Of the
atrocities committed against the
Jews of Russia, especially by the
strong words which he spoke to a
committee of representative Jews
on June IS, 1908, on the pogrom

THE MODERN TONE OF PASSOVER.


Every once in while, we hear of some
misguided "modernist" decrying the
celebration of Passover, because it is so
old-fashioned." why" ask these up
to-the-minute critics, celebrate a holi
day which commentaries events that
happened thirty-four centuries ago."
And yet, if the truth be told, there is no
festival in the Jewish calendar (or in any
other for that matter) that has as much
Of the modern spirit in it.
In the first place, Passover celebrates
FREEDOM; not merely the rescuing of
the Jews from their Egyptian task-mas-
ters,-though that is it's primary pur-
pose, but Of liberation from the tyrant.
To celebrate Passover therefore means
to be forever opposed to the enslaving of
a man by his fellow. This is not merely
a modern concept read into the story by
the present writer, but is as old as Jew
ish tradition. For instance, the laws
dealing with voluntary servitude pre-
scribe punishment for the man who re-
fused to go free in the Sabbatical year,
his ear was to be bored as mark Of
his self inflicted slavery. But why should
the ear be singled out for maltreatment?
Because it was the ear that heard at
Sinai, the Divine dictum, Eye are my
servants" In other words, it was Gods
intent, (say the Rabbis) that all slavery
end, and that man henceforth might
serve only his Maker. Hence voluntarily
choosing human being as the matter
whom you would serve was sinful and
should be punished with the brand Of
degradation. What finer preachment of
emancipation and of the innate dignity
of human life can you find than this?
What can be more modern? And yet
this is an old Jewish concept of Pass
over. -.
Or to cite another instance. Nova
days, nations young and old, small and
large, weak and strong, are seeking to
work miracles with the magic word
"Self- Nothing can be
more modern than that. Yet what is
Passover if not the festival that sane
tions and glorifes self determination?
Translate into modern terms the entire
prelude to the Exodus. What was it
Moses demanded, what was it the tyrant
king refused, if not Jewish determine
ton? "Send forth my people, that they
may serve me-" Moses said in the name of
the Lord What was this if not the de-
mand for the self determination of the
Jew, to enable him to lead his own life,
to worship his own God, to throw off the
spiritual, as we'll as the temporal yoke,
Of Egypt.
Finally, perhaps Passover is most
modern, because it is, in way,
prophetic forecast of the conditions that
govern all progressive movements.
Emancipation and self-determination are

RAILROAD IS FAIR
TO INJURED YOUTH

The Tonopah Times prints the fol-
lowing report of a settlement proposed
by the Tonopah & Goldfeld Railroad
company with Lester Hall, the young
man who was knocked off an ore car
at the Mizpah mine last October:
Lester Hall, well known in Tonopah
by reason of having been in the mes
senger service Of the Western Union
Telegraph company for a long period,
and who had the misfortune, on Oc-
tober 28, to lose his right hand two
inches above the wrist, as well as suf-
fer the loss of two fingers and the
thumb of the left hand, while in the
employ of the Tonopah & Goldfeld
Railroad company. will be looked
after by the company with which he
vas employed.
NJ. b. Cutter of Philadelphia, presi-
dent of the Tonopah & Goldfield Rail-
road company, and w. D. Forster, gem
eral superintendent, called upon the
young man on New Years day at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Lena Hall,
on Florence avenue, and made the fol-
lowing proposition, according to young
Hall, who made a statement to the
Times last night.
The railroad company will pay for
five years schooling at any school
the young man may select; pay him
S65 a month for a period of n year;
pay all hospital and doctors fees,
purchase him an artificial limb. and
allow him in cash the sum of $4,000.
Young Hall is only Is years of age
and under the laws of this State it
will be necessary to have a guardian
appointed to look after the $4,000.
The mother, no doubt, will be appoint
ed to look after the bows interests.
The accident which resulted so dis
astrously to Lester Hall occurred
when he was knocked off an ore car
by being struck by a coal bin near
the Mizpah mine. From October 2S
until a few days ago he was confined
to the Mine Operators hospital, when
he was discharged as cured and per-
mitted Ia return to the home of his
mother. That he escaped with his life
was considered miraculous.
