LOS ANGELES, March 31.-The

TO WHOM SHALL WE
DEDICATE THIS DAY
BY SAUL MEBEL, M. ID.

Amongst us Jews it is not necessar,
to dedicate our feasts to individua
heroes, as other nations are wont tc
do Our heroes have been so numerous
that all the three hundred and sixty.
five days of the year would be insuf,
iiclent to do each of them justice
Collectively, however, we do honor
these noble men, who,. for over two
thousand years have given their all
in the struggle for the liberation of
their people.
Yet the significance of this day
brings TO our memory the name of
Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakai, whose
vision has guided US throughout this
seemingly endless period of exile. 1t
ia his example we are now following
in the opening of the first Hebrew
University in Palestine
1t happened two thousand years ago.
The last vestiges of the nations in
dependence had been destroyed by the
Romans, who burnt the fertility of
Palestine with the blood of our peo-
pie. At that moment Of despair Rabbi
Hochanan Ben Zakai spoke thus: "All
Is not lost. The spirit is still alive.
Let us build lasting abode for our
people; let US strengthen our cultural
heritage; let us nurture and develop
1t. This abode, the spirit, is more
lasting than any land, for it is moy-
able. The spirit can be carried from
land to land. If we cannot bequeath
to our children land to defend, power
to possess, we can bestow upon them
our spirit to strengthen and foster"
With this aim in view Rabbi VOC
hanan Ben Zakai went to Vespasian
the Roman Emperor and made this ap-
Rarently insignificant request; "Give
US leave to establish an Academy for
Jewish Learning in Jabneh." This
request was granted. This, Rabbi
Hochanan Ben Zakai conquered the
almighty Roman Empire.
A number Of years elapsed, The land
was destroyed and with it the Acad-
emy. But the spirit was carried to
usha. Prosecuted and forbidden to
observe the Jewish rites and cere-
monies the question arose as to which
was the greater, piety or learning.
In keeping with their heritage, the
spirit of Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakai,
our people decided that learning was
the greater. And so a law was passed
compelling the parents to educate
their children until they attain the
age Of twelve. This they were the
first to introduce the idea of com
pulsory education, and, in this way,

book.
During several centuries the patti
of these people, from Asia to Centra
Europe, was marked with blood anc
tears. But the spirit of learning in.
herited from their ancestors they still
upheld Wherever they settled er
route, Pumpeditha, Cardova, Mainz
they founded academies of learing de-
spite their inhuman suffcrings. Thus
for many centuries the spirit of Rabbi
fochanan Ben Zakai hourisked within
the closed walls of the Ghettos of
Europe. Towards the middle of the
nineteenth century, however, the
Ghetto walls began to crumble and
through the riffs there streamed in
the light of European culture. Blinded
by the simmer of European civiliza-
ton, our youth drifted into foreign
fields, but the ancient yearning and
ambition for knowledge they carried
with them even into their new en-
deavors. The book was as holy to
them as before. They did not turn
page after page as in reading, but
studied the contents with an unspeak-
able devotion. So did their fathers
in their isolated corner in the syna
gogue spend their childhood, their
youth, their whole life over mage
of the Talmud. But alas, all this zeal
was offered in the service of strange
Gods! We still remain an Gam Has
aifer' but we have lost our ''Bet
Hasaifer."
We are now living in this period.
In our attempt to assimilate the cul-
lures of the various nations of the
earth, we are threatened by the dan
ger of losing our cultural unity,
At this dire time of need the Uni
versity in Palestine has risen upon
the horizon of Jewish history, which
will tend to remedy and avert this
danger. There indeed would be a dis
crepancy in our history were we de-
PRAYED of cultural equality after the
Powers of the world gave us politi-
cal and economis equality. 1t is now
within your power to make this cul-
tural equality a reality and not
mere printed declaration as have been
the political and economis emancipa-
tlons presented to US by the powers in
the nineteenth century.
If every Jew will consider the Uni
versity of Palestine as the center of
his culture, and will deem it a great
honor to be a graduate of this in
stitution, as every Englishman looks
up to Oxford, then we can be assured
that the ideas and spirit of Rabbi
Yochanan Ben Zakai will be vindi-
Gated and victorious.

Members of the common council as- sembled in regular monthly meeting. Tuesday night. were somewhat start led by an informal report of the Board of Water Commissioners, made by Alexander Gilman, Chester M. Elliott, member of the board. also being pres ent.
 MT. Gilman said that the board was not in position to make a complete report, as an engineer was now mak- ing an investigation and survey of the situation and a detailed report would be submitted in the near fu- ture. Enough was said, however, to appTaise the mayor and members of the council of the fact that they can anticipate recommendations which will include the laying of much new and larger pipe and new and larger res ervoir, with an entailed expense of from Sl00,000 to $125,000.
 The present situation grew out of the complaint Of the Putnam Company following the fire at the plant of the Standard Oil Company, when 1t was found that water pressure was made quate. This matter was referred to the board of water commissioners

 After this free ride given leading citizens uf ihn town the treiieys were kept running we'll into the night carry ing passengers. Fares were collected on the return trip and Rienzi Brown of Putnam and Frank Rroughton. also of Putnam. worked on the line the first day t was opened
 On this eYentful day 1t k safe to assume that the citizens If Putnam believed that this city had the last minute in transportation and that it would continue as long as the city might last Ii was iittle dreamed at that time that the fine new CUTS passing over iron rails would give way te q vehicle propelled hy a EAso- l. such has been the development of transportation. Whether there will be more drastic ehanges in teaHspar- tatlon systems in another tweHty-six year period who can say. However. people have become so accustomed to changes in the mode Of travel through the advent of the automobile and air plane that 1t would take q great re- voiution in Che mode of transportas. ton to awaken interest or surprise.
 First Conductor
 Ricnzi Brown, the first conductor te collect fares on the new road, told a Patriot representative, Wednesday evening. thAl he made the trip back and forth to the lake for several hours Most of his fares were merely people curious to take a ride on the new line. The following day, Sum day. the cars were swarmed with pas sengers going to Alexandef's Lake, The following week wna Putnam Fair attended by ten thousand people. it was to accommodate the officials of the Putnam Park and Fair Association that the contractors rushed the road Co completion so that traffic might be handled on the new road,
 The coming of automobiles and automobile busses sounded the death knell of the trolley road in this sec ton. Some time ago the company adopted one-man trolleys but the road continued to lose money. 1t was at 1 last seen and the officials were con vinced that the trolley car as a mode | of transportation in this community was doomed. A petition was made to substitute busses for trolley cars land the petition was granted.

The last trolley car of the Gonnee- tieut Gompany's Putnam division line passed through this city at late hour Monday evening. Tuesday morning appeared the New England Transpor, tation Company's fleet of yellow mo. tor busses to take up the passenger transportation service between Nor, wich and North Grosvenordale. where the yellow trolley cars of the Connee. tieut Company left of. Thus gaSo- lene has supplanted electricity as a motive power, and the motor bus has supplanted the trolley ear.
 No obserxsnee
 The change which took place. al. though a drastic one in the mode of transportation, was anticipated snd even the exact date for the change had been announced. Therefore the appearance nf the busses Tuesday morning caused no surprise and there was ne observance when tho last trois ley car passed through Putnam or any of the other towns along the route.
 Quite different attitude from that when the first trolley was rua over the rails in Putnam. Saturday evening. September 2. 1899. This was a ,l0taa hle day and on 1t notable event took place

It has been called to the attention of The Patriot that soft coal had no part in the fire in pomfret, Thauksgiv- ing Day Hard coal was being burned in the heater in the cellar from which place the fire started How fl started is still. and probably ever will be, q mystery. Local coal dealers say that there is no danger in burning soft coal and the present substitute is giving such satisfaction in many homes that hard coal will not be further wanted

with the suggestion that the situation be remedied if possible.
 Criticism of Service
 Mir. Gilman stated that since the | fire near the foundry there had been considerable criticism of the water service and that he would admit that i 1t was bad He said that the foundry people had come to the board about ! the inadequate service and the matter aad been under investigation but no definite conclusion had been reached and the board had no definite report to make. but felt that they should let the council know that progress has been made.
 Mir. Simonds, an engineer. came to | Putnam last week and found the prob lem to be much greater than was ex- pected T think you will find 1t so when We come before you with the en- gineer's report, said Mir Gilman.
 MT Gilman said that il would be useless to lay larger pipe on School street. as this would give no better pressure at the foundry He said that. to assure adequate pressure. a start would have to be made at the stand 1 pipe on Oak Hill He said the time is coming when the city will have to build q new reservoir and lay new mains.
 To make the proper improvement. Mr. Gilman said. the start would have to be made al the heart of the sys= tenn. \ new res rvOir will have to be built on the land the city bought for that purpose Ii Is a big proposition, he said. but t has get Go be done.
 Small Pipe on Main Street
 Mr. Gilman said that on Main street is a six inch pipe forty years old and, through rust and currosion. is prob ably not over five inches ln diameter today This means a new main from the bridge on Pomfret street t0 Nam street. 10 Providence street, to School street. and to Mechanics street. We have got to start al the heart of the system, he said again.
 aMr. Gilman said the engineer ia working on the plan now and will soon have t ready to submit to the eoun- ci. It is anticipated that the plan will call for a twelve inch pipe from Bugbeeis corner to Providence street; from the corner of Providence street an eight inch or ten inch pipe to School street, and an eight inch pipe to Mechanics street.
 Asked by the mayor if the new pump is working, Mir. Gilman said

 The cries of Bibik attracted John son who ran to his assistance and managed to scare the men off. Bibik sent one of his children for Officer Coderre. When the officer started to arrest Polak he put up q fight and Johnson was called on to help. it was hard struggle for some time but tue prisoner was finally subdued and carried Co the station. This is the first jail break in years in the village and the officers are determined to get their men sooner or later.
