Jewish New Year Observed,

Shutdown Friday marked the beginning
of the Jewish New Year. Like the
Christian New Year it is a day of re-
joicing, but it also ushers in the peniten-
tal season, the elimination of which is
the day of atOnement, when for II hours
no food Is tasted and nearly the whole time
is spent in prayer. The coming of the
New Year is always announced to con-
gregations in the traditinal way, which
consists of the blowing of the shofar. OF
the rams horn, but saturday being the
Sabbath this ceremony was omitted
1t was observed, however, Sunday
morning, the second day of the year
The observance of this season was carried
out in both the Archibald street syna-
gogue and Hyde street, Burlington, the

evening a special prayer meeting was held
for President Mckinley in the synagogue
on Archibald street, an appropriate ad.

Sacks. a similar service was held at the
same hour in the synagogue on Hyde

SalOOniStS Unite.

The literary bureau of the Iowa Re-
publican State Central Committee re-
fers to the union of license Republi-
cans and Democrats in the late cam
paign in that state as the new party"
This is forerunner of the day, not far
distant, when the saloon element in
both the old parties will unite every
where in order to defeat the Prohibi-
ton party. Such a union has taken
place at various points throughout the
land. 1t took place to considerable
extent in Otter Tail county, this state,
a few years ago. It takes place
wherever and as often as the Prohibi-
ton party develops sufficient strength
to awaken fear of it's success. The
bigger such unions and the oftener
they take place, the sooner will be
realized that great stampede of the sa-
dominating elements from the old
parties toward the banners Of the Pro-
hibition party, which will put the
whole saloon brood to rout.

therefore behooves us to inquire
whether any institutions are being
fostered by us which tend to lower the
character Of our citizens and to en-
danger the safety of our rulers or of
the Republic. Honest investigation in
that direction, followed by courageous
action, will throw the Prohibitionists
out of job.

duce to you Sheriff-elect McCollum, of
Venango county, Pennsylvania. Like
yourself, he was elected on straight
Prohibition party ticket over his Re-
publican and Democratic rivals. Like
you, he will be so true to his oath of

we have to do in order to secure the

these Prohibitionists." And in COM

themselves among the wise of earth.

President Roosevelt's OppOr-

If Theodore Roosevelt will array
himself against the saloon, he will
write his name for all time high up
among the statesmen and philanthro-
pists of our nation. We believe his
tory would place it above that of
either Washington or Lincoln. Will
he do it? If he will, those who oppos-
ed William Mckinley because of his
record on this question will support
him. If he will not, they will criti-
CHE him and oppose him as they did
his predecessor. Can true men whose
eyes have been opened to the magni-
tude of the saloon issue, do either
more or less than this?

Why Should the Saloon Live?


The saloon corrupts the citizenship
of our great cities; peoples the slums
with squalor and crime; fills our pris-
ons, almshouses, hospitals and asy-
lums; carries sorrow and poverty to
thousands of homes; places the
heaviest burdens on the taxpayers and
wrings the heart of the Christian
world. Why should it live? Answer
this question for yourself. It lives be-
cause the ballots of the people permit
it. Does your ballot help to give and
prolong it's life? Do you wish it to be
destroyed? You should vote against it,
and cast all your influence against it.
Then you shall be conscience free. So
long as the saloon exists, our sons and
daughters are not safe. the foundations
of social order are in danger and the
destiny of the republic is in the bal
