CONSISTENCY.

Consistency is virtue which either
directly or indirectly is praised Of
tener than any other. Yet, though con-
sistency is virtue that is so general
ly demanded, there is also quite a pre-
valent disposition to reckon it among
the cheap virtues, and some there are
who scott at it as if unworthy of any
persons serious aim. And, in truth,
consistency is not so much type Of
character, as it is necessary condi-
ton of that character which is already
aiming at right objects. That is, if the
character be true, consistency is a
quality that comes of itself and needs
not to be anxiously watched and pro-
tected. 1t is in this sense that Emer-
son says: with consistency a great
soul has nothing to do. He may as we'll
concern himself with his shadow on
the wall"
Let an Israelite be truly loyal to
his religious convictions and sincere
in his confessions, promises and pray
ers, and he will not be guilty of the in
consistency which so frequently mars
and disfigures the religious life of
some people.
The inconsistency that is worthy of
praise does not necessarily mean con-

Twelve
POLES RE-INTRODUCE THUMB
SCREW. e

Warsaw: (By /. j. P. b. If the in
famous Torquemada were to rise from
his grave and see how the Poles tor
ture their political prisoners in the
dungeons of Minsk, he would admit
that times have changed, and that the
modern Polish officials are more in
genious than the medieval Spanish in
quisitors. A blood chilling tale of tor
ture and mutilation of human bodies is
told in several letters which have been
struggled out of the prisons Of Minsk.
The eyes of Jewish children are burnt
with lighted cigarettes. Fingers are
crushed by closing doors. Internal
thumbscrews are frightened on human
fingers and toes, until both flesh and
bone form one grounded mass. Iron
caps are fastened on the heads Of men
and women, and are frightened until
the eyes come out of their sockets. The
soldiers in charge kick men, women
and children with their heavy boots
into insensibility Often their ribs are
broken and even their chests are caved
in by this savagery.
The letters continue with this ghast-
ly picture, too horrible to describe.
Most of the prisoners were arrested
without warrant, and many Of them
Go not even know the charges proffer-
ed against them. All of them appeal
to friends of liberty to rouse the con-
seriousness of men by making their
conditions public.

tinuous adherence to one set Of opin-
ions. The person who never changes
his opinions in this world Of increas-
ing light and knowledge can hardly
have opinions that are worth the con-
sideration Of intelligent men. The hope
of the world lies in breaking up that
kind of consistency which means SIM
ply adherence to old traditions and
doctrines, a rigid and tenacious hold
ing to views and opinions which no
longer represent true knowledge and
wisdom.
It is evident, therefore, that if con-
sistency is to be regarded as desir-
able quality of character there must
be some other definition to fit than that
which describes it is merely the agree
ment of character with itself. And an
other definition there is. In its admiss-
able form consistency means the
steady agreement Of mans character
with certain lofty principles of reason
and right which have won the fealty
of his mind and conscience. Consisten-
cy by no means implies the continuous
retaining Of the same orthodox opin-
ions of the same association Of ideas
in politics or social science. 1t re-
quires only that the change of pro-
gress, instead of being fitful and wav-
ering, shall follow natural laws Of de-
velopment and growth. There is nat
ural change of views in respect to re-
ligion and other phases of thought
which implies no unsoundness Of prin-
ciple of fickleness Of judgment, but
rather enlargement Of knowledge,
wholesome activity Of reason.-Jewish

RELIGIOUS SERVICES RESUMED
AT SUMMER RESORTS.

Conducting services during the sum-
mer months in country club is an in
novation in religious services that is
being introduced this year by the jew
ish Community of Reading, Pa, which
owns club located at Mt. Penn, three
miles from that City. Religious SER
vices are being held at the club every
Friday evening. Rabbi Julius Frank
who is the originator of the services,
is enthusiastic over the success Of the
plan and writes: 81 am delighted to
state that the innovation promises to
be great success. / see many people
at these services who would very sell
dom attend during the year."
Judging by the attendance at the
two services that have been held on
the first two Sabbaths Of this month,
Rabbi Frank is justified in being elat-
ed The attendance at the first service
was sixty three and the second seven
ty-four people. This average is likely
to be sustained for the remainder Of
the season since Friday afternoon is
half holiday during the summer and
many members of the congregation
who have not left the city for other
places spend their afternoons and
evenings at the Club. There are also
quite a number Of strangers there as
guests.
A volunteer choir under the direction
of Mrs. julius Frank greatly enhances
the attractiveness Of the services.
Congregational singing is encouraged
and to meet the demands for hymals,
an additional 100 copies of the hymn
pamphlet issued by the Department Of
Synagog and School Extension has
been requested.

Julius Edwards, negro, was. fined S25 and costs in Municipal court yes. terday on charge of grand larceny Whatever might be said in Julius favor in the matter of technique ill connection with larceny, it must be admitted that in other matters he ex- ercised poor judgment.

While on his rounds hithel and thither, Julius had collision The bicycle was somewhat smashed up. Julius took the remains to the police station as Exhibit A in his plea for action against the person with whom he collided.

Harding's Train Barely Escapes
 Terrible Wreck

On Board Senator Hardin's Special Train, Sept. 29. Senator Harding's special train miraculously escaped a serious wreck today on it's way across West Virginia.
 His private car "Ideal" left the rails near Millwood, small noun- tain village, and with it's trucks bang- ing themselves to pieces over the railroad ties, was dragged across a high and narrow trestle at the rate of thirty miles an hour. The train came to a stop beyond the chasnl just as the rear wheels of the "ldeal' veered off the ties entirely and bu- ried themselves in the gravel.
 The other cars of the train did not leave the rails and no one was irl- jdred A defective casting in the front truck, which jolted to pieces as the car crossed switch, was blamed by train officials for the acci- dent.
 Tonight the special, minus the abandoned Ideal" turned north westward for Marion, the senator completing his three-day trip with two evening addresses in Ohio.

MOTORMEN GIVEN
 WAGE INCREASES fss yf s < X .s53l s sSs 33sg
 OF 7C AN HOUR
Hike is Retroactive to Sep. tember 21; Raise All
 Salaries

Increases of seven cents an hour m rates of pay of motormen of the Pine Bluff company, retroactive tc 21, were announced last night by J. L. Longino, manager of the company. With the increase o1 three cents an hour given the men on August 1, this raise puts the rate of pay at 10 cents an hour more than prevailed on August 1.
 This increase in pay of the motor men, together with increases to be given other employees of the railway company, will absorb all of the addi- titional revenue derived from the ( cent fare,. officers of the company stated. Schedules for the other em. ployes are now being worked out, and the "raise" will be announced as soon as they are completed.
 Under the new schedule of rates motormen in the employ of the Pine Bluff company will be enabled tc earn from $125. to $159 month, in addition to bonuses offered for care Iul OperaJlOn OI CHc SSAS, oAu amounts to an increase of $50 g month since July. The rates then in effect enabled the men to earn from s$9O to 12O month.
 The raise in the pay of employees together with the increase in railroad freight rates, the higher cost of fuel and the continued high cost of money and materials, adds many thousands of dollars to the operating expenses of the company, according to officials of the organization.
 "No one is in better position to ap- |preciate the situation of the worke; whose pay has not advanced prcpor- tionately with living costs than the public utilities operator" said MT Longino. "For our situation is ex- actly the same as that of the indi. vidual. Different items in costs oi production have increased 40 to 400 per cent"
