Where Herrick IL Misled.

Gov Herrick knows now that he was.
beaten by a substantial majority and
bows submissively To the will of the
Ohio voters who did It, He has a toll
erably clear notion of what il was that
hit him. but is very much mistaken in
his surmise that IT was not a genuine
republican defeat or a substantial dem
ocratic victory. He is entirely right in
saying that his disaster was NOT due 10
any business depression nor industrial
adversely. nor 10 any other form of
hard times
He is altogether and hopelessiy
wrong in the conclusion that he was
swept into retirement by wave Of pre-
JUDGE and baseleSS suspicion. His
late admission of the existence OF a
spirit of moral reform abroad in the
land is timely but he is not NJ all can
did in the argument that the voters of
Ohio were misled by 1t into a revolt
agains, himself The spirit of moral
reform was indeed one of the most po-
tent factors in the campaign. and an
impartial spectator cannot see that il
erred in striking directly AZ Gov. Her
rick. whose main support came from
The corrupt Cox machine and its rami-
ficati~aS into all branches of Ohio re-
publican politics. An the Influences
that were for Cox were for Herrick
while I'll g. f1-ces of moral reform in
the state were against both.
The moral reform wave also dashed
itself against the iniquities of the re-
publican trust fed tariff. which Gov.
Herrick accepts as righteousness, by

"O one who has been away from
the United States for a term OF
years the Christmas holidays
there seem like a feverish rush,
and the simple pleasures INDUCED in
during the nine days of posadas in
Mexico are returned to with "A certain
measure of relief.
A posada is an inn, and the idea per
vading these festivities is that story,
known to all the world, of Caesar Au.
gustus. who, in the height of his pow
er, wished to know the number of peo
pie who bowed beneath his scepter
In order TO determine the fact he de
creed that a census should be taken of
all the nations composing the great
Roman empire. To effect this Angus
tus sent twenty-four commissioners &c
the different parts of his world. The
edict commanded that every person,
rich or poor, weak or strong, should 20
to the place of his birth or to the orig
inal place of his family TO have his OF
her name inscribed in the Roman regis
try.
Joseph and Mary, who were both OF
the royal house OF David, went to the
town Of Bethlehem. They found it SO
full of people on the same mission that
they wandered about the town for nine
days seeking shelter. On the ninth day
they were allowed 10 stay in the stable
of a posada, and there the Nino Santo
or Holy Child, was born. The posadas
are held for nine evenings ia commem-
GRAFTON of those weary days.
OF course there are miserable homes
where no sign of a posada is held. but
Mexicans, rich and poor, are generous.
No matter how dirty and ragged. every
one Is welcome in the churches, beauti
fully decorated, and at the nightly po
penatas are omitted, as the celebra.
lions are entirely of a religious nature.
To the children the penatas are very
important features Of the season. They
represent men. women, goats and 9TH
er animals, beautiful flowers, immense
chrysanthemums, giant roses and peo-
MES, lovely dahlias, nuns. monks in full
costume and graceful musical instru-
ments. Each figure contains an empty
Jar or penata Of pottery, which Is hid,
den by the decorations or costumes of
colored tissue paper, most s~killfully
applied. The jars are filed with
goodies and u~nbreakable toys.
When friends have been invited to a
posada the house Is decorated with
evergreens and MOSES. flowers and
tinsel in all the rooms and corridors
In one room Is the scene In the stable
Of Bethlehem the stable yard and
servants, the animals. trees and plants
groups Of Biblical characters, little toy
J fountains. All that money can do to

the pilgrims, or peregrinos, march two
and two. led by one who carries the
Babe. Singing sweet hymns and the
litanies, they go through the house,
winding in and out Of the Don and
galleries.
At last the wanderers stop at the
door of the room In which is the a
ger. Two voices, representing Mary
and Joseph, in IA wailing hymn beg TO
be admitted. Voices within chant a
denial. Finally a voice announces who
they are that plead for shelter; then
the door IL thrown open, and the pere-
grinos are allowed to enter. The Babe
is placed in the manger, often by a
priest, and songs Of rejoicing burst
forth.
The penatas are next on the pro
gramme. the details varying with the
fancy Of the host.
In a convenient place the penata is
suspended, and the little folk. and big
ones who choose to take part In the
merriment, are blindfolded one at o
time. turned around a time or two,
then given q stick with which to break
the jar II possible. So many trials,
then another tries. When m succeeds
the contents fall to the floor and q
scramble follows to see who gets the
most. In some old families there are
evenings when the numerous servants
partake of the joys Of the posada and
share In the souvenirs and refresh
msnts provided.-Colners Weekly.

In addition to the general survey Of the
progress of the Jews in America, particular
attention will be given to the Jews of the
Rocky Mountain region.
November oath also marks the third an

Gentle mind on the Jewish conscious

left indelible traces on Jewish thought

the intellectual or the aesthetic aspects,
is none other than an effort to get the

musical instruments may have been as
ISOLATED with worship by the ancient
Hebrew, it is certain-as, indeed the
opposition encountered upon it's intro

it recalled the Davidian harp or Mir

necessary when it is stated that such

the settlement idea, elaborated in Hull

Jacob Riis, is now fourishing under

to establish a Jewish settlement. But of
this, more anon. 1t might be WELL too,
to remind ourselves here of the dictum
recently emphasized by James: Move
ments should be judged less by their
origin than by their fruits.
The great assimilative capacity Of the
Jew seems not to have been an acquired
characteristic. Not in recent times does
it first appear, but it is discernible al
ready in the earliest of days Whether
we look to the origin of the Jewish Sab
bath, or consider Rosh-ha-Shona or Yom
kippur, or scan the modern instances
cited above, the fact is borne home to
us that the Jew in the remote past no
less than in the present, profted by jux-
Imposition to alien races. If there be a
difference between modern and past

own; whilst, in the olden time, the Jew
was the spiritual Midas; the pewter of
his neighbors Sabbath for animals, e.
g. converted into Sabbath for man
under his religious touch turned into
purest gold. But unlike the Midas of
legend, this magic touch was not his I'M
doing. Every manifestation of it was
not for his own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT but
was conservation, renewed, as humani-
tvs servant
This wonderful assimilative power of
the Jew, men of a truth have endea-
vored to prove his greatest weakness.
Parasite, - imitator," 'go-between,'
middleman," his judicial friends call
him. And right scientifically have the
non-Jewish Beaulieus answered them
But whatever may have been the posi-
bilities in the past-and then the Jew
was not granted fair play-the fact re-
mains that to-day the greatest possible
boon is the power to assimilate, to alb
sorb, instinctively to recognize the good
in humanity s creations in stock, and in
diligently to appropriate them to the
good of self and all. For 'originality"
in the sense of something created never
objectified before is a lost art. Human
ity has lived too long and sensed too
much to believe that possible now. What
ever the sphere Of human action, be it
philosophy or literature or science, men
lean on their predecessors; they dis
Germ, discriminate, absorb, assimilate,
appropriate the embodied energy Of 9th
ers, and then work this up into concep-
tons of their own, but conceptions, for
all that, that still have much in common
with the past. Spinoza roots in Des-
cartes, and Leibnitz in Spinoza; Berke
ley in Locke, and Hume in Berkeley;
and Kant in both Leibnitz and Hume.
And similarly it is, be the field Of vision
what it may. Men, therefore, are orig
inal and can be original only in so far
as they build old blocks in new combina-
tons, put old thought in new
dress. Yet facility in doing even
this depends not little on observation,
and observation on interest, and inter
est already suggests the desire to digest,
to absorb, to assimilate, to approximate.
Let the Jew then continue to absorb the
world about him. So he assimilate only
the best he shall continue enriching the
life Of the world; contributing to it by
taking from it, he is, indeed, genuine
innovator, an originator, creator in
very fact.
