alike to him. When New York
organized a Kahilloh for the pur-
pose of exploiting such topics as
Jewish education, and questions
regarding things kosher, in
which all of the wealthiest Jews
participated, Rabbi Jaffee took
a prominent stand.
When the question of kashres
arose, Rabbi Jaffee, with an air
of sarcasm, remarked that these
millionaires had no right to dis
cuss such questions, as their set
tlement belonged to the ortho-
dox element.
In Europe also, Rabbi Jaffee
was considered one of the noted
Rabbis. At the early age of
eighteen, he published his first
book, "Pre-Aishel," on which all
the Rabbis of that time gave
their "Ascomie." During his six
ty-five years, he wrote and pub.
.lished more books than the aver
age author and his works will
always remain as a monument
to Judaism. 4
Rabbi Jaffee was born in 1858
in the small town of Vabolnick,
Russia. Until the age of ten he
was educated by his father, who
was also one of the big Rabbis
of his time. When he was but
fourteen he was considered a
great Talmudist. In 1872 he
came to the 'Yashiva's of Vol
oshnie to hear the lectures of the
well-known Rabbis and there
prepared himself to be Rabbi
for Israel. He then returned to
him home town, where he later
married the richest girl of the
town. 4.
When not quite twenty-one
years old, Rabbi Jaffee had his
first position as Rabbi in a small
community which he kept until
his departure for the United
States. Immediately upon his ar.
rival in America he was elected
Rabbi to the Beth Medrosh Hag-
odel, New York City.
Sad to state, Rabbi Jaffee died
while in great poverty. Unfor-
tunately, at his funeral it be-
came necessary to take up col
lection in order to support his
wife and family. This thing
would never have become neces-
sary among the Reform class of
Jews, for they feel it their su-
preme duty to support their
loyal Rabbis.
Rabbi Jaffee's death is a great
loss to the Jewish people, for
men such as he are seldom
found.

minds of some of our orthodox
people, what will be the result
if such a revolutionary Thought
becomes the common property OF

ly one answer and it is:
Only thru such a conception

able to come nearer to that real

sical perfection.
We have a method in algebra
of proving an example. We may
very well use this as a test to
prove whether our examples OF
religious conception will stand
the scrutiny of human goodness
and a universal justice which
can apply to all the world ir-
respective of nationality, race o,

Many years ago at a funeral

ance made many years before
that terrible war in which hui
man life was the cheapest thing
in the world.
Life is too great a thing to be
classed with the stocks which
rise and fall as the brokers ma
nipulate the market. 1t cannot
be priceless today and worthless
tomorrow in any well operated
scheme of things. It's value
never diminishes; it is our
knowledge and appreciation Of
its worth that changes. 1t seems
that if this .truism of the rabbi
could only be instiIled into the
mind Of every man he would
possess all that any religious
doctrine now in existence could
give him.
But to get down to earth again
If it is true that we possess
such a wonderful talent and pos
siDilities, why are we then sur
rounded with SO many failures
Why is the world so filled with
unsuccessful musicians, unsuc-
cessful arti 8 ts, unsuccessful
statesmen and misfits in all the
pursuits which require a deeper
understanding of human emo
tions and psychological reac-
tions? Why are these failures
encountered to a lesser degree
in the mechanical fields where
success depends solely upon a
simple physical knowledge?
The answer is that human
beings have never taken the
trouble to, study and understand
one another, They have neglect
ed, even among those who claim
ed to be in possession of the
most advanced religious concep-
tion, to develop their immortal
souls. And it is almost safe to
say that among all the millions
of humans living today, there is
not one who can honestly say:
"My soul is free from all that
is evil"

ecuted and crucifi ed. The
prophets of today are not even
SO fortunate as to find this ply.

b"O run a piece of machinery
it is not absolutely neces-
Il sary that we are able to re-
pair all its component parts but
it is essential that we know
what work it can accomplish and
for what work it is built. The
most important, the most intri-
cate, and, at the same time, the
most perfect machine ever built
is the human body. And we
know less about its functions
than we know about an rautomo-
bile.
We are only able to use very
small percentage of this, our
own, motive power. 1t is only
of comparatively recent date
that man has been paying any
attention to himself. He has
created all sorts of deities and
attributed to them such faculties
as he considered desirable or as
would cause him to live in
eternal fear, ever conscious that
he was at least a shadow of the
ideal he had created. But he has
not realized his advancement to
masterful control of natures
forces.
Man finally became bigger
than the very gods he had Great
ed. This is but the natural re-
suit of human progress. The
man of little mentality was in
capable of a conception of q deity
that would expand with his own
growth. Modern man has har-
messed the very forces of nature
before which the ancients bowed
down in reverence and in terror.
In many instances he has even
been able to duplicate them. But
one power still is beyond his
grasp-the creation of the spark
of life. And he is ever striving
to gain that and with it mastery
over death.
Too great a limit has always
been set upon human ability.
While such limitations had
to be extended from time to time
and some apologies had to
be made for former conceptions,
we are now reaching the stage
where nothing seems impossible
for humans to accomplish. The
impossibilities of yesterday are
tie accomplishments of tomor-
row.
We are travelling toward a
higher spiritual life with a
broader and loftier idea of a
deity with whom. we are one.
And the time is coming when the
destruction of a human life will
be as great a shock to our SEN
s:bilities as blasphemy against
and any attempted destruction
of their deity is to religious peo-
pie today.
This respect for human life
can only be attained when the
world has learned to appreciate
what wonderful qualities are
lying latent within every body
and are waiting to be liberated.
Human intelligence has already
accomplished SO much. The
progress made within our life
time, altho only a slight be-
ginning when compared with the
whole, nevertheless, has been so
great that even the most or
Ginary man must come to the
conclusion that since this was
made under such unfavorable,
conditions, the future must hold
out possibilities which are even
now beyond the conception of the
rnost daring imagination.

Those who are in the best position
to know declare it to be their honest
belief that by far the largest and most
enthusiastic crowd that ever attended
a football game in Bozeman will be
present to witness the state football
classic of the year which will be
played Saturday afternoon on Cation
field at the state college between the
arch, but friendly, enemies of the
grid, the Bobcats of Montana State
college in Bozeman, and the Bruins
of the State university in Missoula.
Many Stores to Close
Following the submission of a re-
quest, formulated by the Bobcat club,
at a meeting Of that organization held
last evening, the Retail Merchants
Exchange graciously agreed to have
its entire membership lock their store
doors during the hours of the game,
from one o'clock until five, so that all
their employees may attend the con-
test. 1t is more than likely that all
other retail stores, with the possible
exception of restaurants, pool halls
and the the like, will follow suit and
add the force Of their presence and
voice to the big victory, which it is
anticipated will resemble that famous
one fought by-who was it, Brigham
Young ?-who said: 1--WE hev met the
enemy, and they are ourn."
Pep Melting and Parade
At Tuesday nights meeting of the
Bobcat club it was unanimously de-
cided to hold a regular "pep" meeting
Friday evening at 7:3O o'clock, sharp,
at the Chamber of Commerce rooms
at which time tentative plans will be
rounded out for the holding, Saturday
shortly after the noon hour, of q
monster college parade, in which will
march the college band; the student
body, with freshmen attired in regu-
lation pajamas and upper classmer
in the craziest and most glaring-
ly kaleidoscope costumes ever as.
semled together under one sky, a.

his tent; and numerous floats and at.

A Continued Story
(By A washingtOnian," in The Dearborn Mich) independently

EDITORS NOTE-In his fOrewOrd. the editor Of the Dear
born Independent says: What are we going to do about Our
merchant marine? The infamous subsidy measure was killed
and its revival must not be permitted. But influence lust as
sinister as those which have gone before are at work today to
turn over the American fleet to interests whose motives are
purely selfish. This, too, must not be permitted. The Dear
born Independent, from time to time, in issues soon to appear,
VIII disclose, for the benefit of the people and the peoples
representatives in congress, facts which speak for themselves.
1t is to be hoped that these facts will be sufficiently awakening
for congress to institute an inquiry designed to search out and
make known ALL the truth about the operations of the United
States Shipping Board"
If just one half of the amazing charges are true-and there
is no reason to believe that they are not ALL true-the people
should rise up in righteous indignation and demand of their rep
resentatives in congress, both senators and members of the lower
house, that a thorough investigation of this matter be made; the
blame, if any, placed where it r~ightfully belongs; the guilty ones
punished through due process of law, and measures taken to
prevent a recurrence of such nationally disgraceful tactics in
this, a supposedly Christian, if not an entirely Gentle, nation.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-11-14

The parade will wind through the
business district and will then turn
and head in the direction of Cation
field, reaching there in time to greet
the spectators and work them up into
a spirit of victory. The game is
scheduled to begin promptly at 1870
o'clock.
What the Exponent Says
In demonstrating on the probable
results of the game, the Weekly Ex-
ponent, the official college publica-
ton, says:
Saturday afternoon will once more
see the Bobcats and Bruins, ancient
rivals tussling on Cation Field for
state grid honors. With a deter
mination to come away with more
than second best to their credit after
that game, Coach OFT Romney and
his Bobcats are this week working
harder and faster than they have
ever worked before, which is saying
considerable. 1t is only just to say
that the odds in the betting game are
perhaps now favoring the Bruin, as
a result of their moral victory IN
the game with the University of
Washington last Saturday. Bobcat
stock almost ceased to call forth
cash betting after The defeat at the
hands of he Miners here last month.
It is with the odds standing in this
light, slightly altered as a result
of the victory over the st. Charles
eleven in Helena over the weekend,
that the state college nee more
faces the big game of the season.
It is doubtful, in. spite Of the
gloomy aspect that the situation has
held for many, if the Bobcats could
enter the fray on Saturday in better
fighting trim. Just crushed enough
by the Mines defeat 10 add the nee
essary punch to their play, they have
been showing every evidence Of a
comeback that should bear fruit on
Cation Field on the 18th. Handi

sfty will bring over a powerful and
more heavy line than he has at his
