girls of Detroit who have no homes
and who desire to attend this beauti-
ful ceremonial feast.
The sedar will be held in Y. M. H.
A. hall, Willis and Brush, and will be
in charge of a competent caterer, who
will observe all the rules and regula-
tions demanded by the occasion. The
cervniony itself will be conducted by
Morris Burger, a member of the Y.
M. H. A. and a gentleman of culture
and refinement.
On Sunday afternoon, April 1, a
committee of Y. M. H. A. boys will
be at the club rooms; in Shaarey Ze-
dek building, to distribute the tickets
for the sedar. The cost is fixed at
$1 each.
Those who know of any boy or girl
who wants to attend this sedar, send
them to the committee at the time
mentioned, or get in touch with one
of the officers of the association.

Fixel, II. A. Velick, vice-presidents.
Jewish Leaders Hail Emancipation
of Russian Jews.
(Continued from page 3)
"Jews were among the leaders of
the Russian revolution of 1905, and it
is largely because of that fact that the
reactionaries have persecuted them so
violently since; it is for that reason,
too, that the Black Hundreds were
formed tinder the leadership of the
czar, who was the. head of that in-
famous organization. The unspeak-
able persecution of Beilis was also
due to the animosity of the party in
power against the Jews, because of
their aspirations for liberty and their
co-operation with those who were
striving for the liberalization of Rus-
sia.
"There is comparatively little il-
literacy among Jewish men in Russia,
while the average Russian peasant is
illiterate. The new government is to
be conducted on the basis of univer-
sal suffrage. Can there be any ques-
tion but that a people whose ances-
JUDGE HALLY.
Judge Rally has been Circuit Judge
for the past six years. His record has
won for him the commendation of
both citizens and lawyers. He was
promoted by the people from the of-
fice of Corporation Counsel of Detroit
and it was a well deserved promotion,
for during his career in that office he
was ever alert and active in the pro-
tection of the city's interests. He
sought to lessen the burden of taxa-
tion by compelling every kind of
property to bear its share. To accom-
plish this he placed the franchises of
the street car, electric light and gas
companies on the tax roll.
It was his plan which the Council
of Detroit adopted to meet the situa-
tion when the street railway fran-
chises had expired and from it almost
one-half million dollars flowed into
the city treasury. In 1902, the State
Board of Assessors sought to add up-
wards of $296,000,000,00 to the as-
sessed valuation of the state. This,
they said, was necessary to equalize
the assessments throughout the state.
Their action would have lessened the
amount of taxes to be paid by the
railroads and would result in a loss to
every school district in the state. De-
troit alone would have lost upwards
of $65,000.00 a year.
tors v1/4R.re scholars in the darkest days
of the middle ages and who have cher-
ished learning in the hours of their
deepest misery are capable of self-
government?"
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise stated that
the emancipation of Russian Jewry is
the most important Jeivish news of
the twentieth century. Speaking of
the part played by Russian Jewry in
the struggle for freedom, lie said:
"The young Jews have been in the
vanguard of the struggle. They have
stood out and lived and died for the
cause of liberty, and the Rusian Jew
at his highest is the highest type of
J ew in the world.
"We .Jews must stand in the mod-
ern world for democracy in all its
conceptions, for only in that way will
come the emancipation of our breth-
ren in other countries. I say we hail
this upheaval in Russia with hope, for
now it seems' assured that the op-
pressed Jews of that deluded country
will have freedom and full privilege as
citizens."
