JEWISH FEAST
Of Lights Will Soon Be Oh
served the World
Over.

Millions ,oi little tapers will shed
their hight In the Jewish homes and
synagogues The world over at the
celebration OF the Feast OF Lights.
which will begin December 10 and
last for eight days. The Feast Of
Lights, also known as Hanukah and
the Feast Of the Maccabees commenl-
crates the emancipation OF the Jews
by the Maccabees after a struggle OF
"a years against The Seleucid kings
OF Syria.
In 1853 B. G.. three years before the
institution OF Hanukahs Antiochus
Epiphanes set up an idol in, the tent
pie and commanded the Jews to .wor-
ship IL The Jews looked upon the
momentary triumps OF the Syrian
faith as a degradation and a failure
of their people in their religious
ideal.
The restoration OF their power re-
suited in the calling together-of the
elders OF Jerusalem, purifying Of the
temple and declaration OF a celebra-
tlon of eight days. during which
lights were kindled.
The present-day celebration con-
sists of the kindling OF tapers one
on the first day. two on the second
and so on up to eight on the las;
day. The lights are generally kind.
led by the elders OF the house with
appropriate benedictions. In the
synagogues .'HnIlel.n song OF praise
and rejoicing. is sung and prase:
is recited telling tae h6storic basis
OF the feast.
The progressive number of lights
is symbolic of the gradual ascendenrs
Of Judas with a handful OF men
against the Syrian multitude.

thia Will he dong later and the per-
narent board established. BUT, TO
oppose the aond issue on this ac.
CONT Is TO baxe ones opposition on
scriething that can not be provided
for at the present.
Opposition should be based on
something in reality and not upon
mere suggestions and niIsconstruc-
tons Of other mems acts.
One good reason for opposing the
bond Issue Is thar the residents 81
the city do not want good service
and proper fire protection. Another
good reason is that they prefer sick
ness and death to health and life.
The sewerage system is very costly
nov because OF It's inadequacy. No
one knows Just how many lives 1t
costs every year and none can feel
secure against 1t,
Perhaps. some would rather run
the risk Of having their property de-
stroyed than to have a good water
supply Others would rather grow
sick ana die than have a sewerage
system that would carry on waste.
filth and disease.
Let every man be honest with him
self and with his neighbor in the
matter. The people themselves
must decide he question and no one
has the right to misconstrue another
mans actions.

More About Bonds.

There appears to be a miscon-
struction OF the deciination of Mr..
r. 7. Lowndes to serve on the bonds
and water works c5:..inIsslon, pro
vided for in the bond ordinance,
I which will be voted ON at special
election in January.
Mr. Lowndes stated In his letter
OF declination that to perform the
duties OF the Office would require
more time and attention than he
could give, and he was therefore un-
able to accept it.
As all know Mr.. Lowndes has
large business interests, which as Is
implied from his declination requires
the greater part OF nis time and at
tention, and. because OF this fact he
deemed 1t best both for the city and
himself not to accept a trust that he
felt would require more time and at,
tention than he conld give.
There is nothing in the action OF
Mr.. Lowndes to indicate that he was
prompted not to serve because of
personal opposition TO the bond Is
sue. On the other hand 1t may he
stated without fear of contradiction
that Mr.. Lowndes Is enthusiastically
in favor of the bond issue and will
not only vote for it bnt also work
for 1t.
The report of the special commit
lee, on which Mr.. Lowndes served
which was accepted by the conn
ell. is fully approved by him as his
letter OF declinatlon states. The let
ter also states that he is deeply in
terested in the Improvement of the
present watr works system.
There is an impression that the
city council should have provided
for the election of permanent water
works commission. such as the spec
ial committee in Its report favored.
but the special committee recognized
the fact that special act of the leg
isature would be necessary to create
such an office. In other words. the
charter Of the city must be amended
before that can be done. Doubtless
