Began Last Evening and Will
Continue Ten Days.
Jewish People of This City
are all at Ashland Attend
ing Services.

All of the Jewish people of
this city left last night for Ash
land where special services will
be held today and tomorrow,
celebrating the penitential sea-
son, which began last evening
and will end on Saturday of next
week. Today and tomorrow will
be spent at the Jewish synagogue.
All places Of business conducted
by Jewish people will be closed
today and tomorrow. This is
the Jewish new year when all
Jews, orthodox and reformed re-
new their allegians to the re-
ligion of their fathers. Wednes-
day is the first day of the seventh
month of the. Jewish calendar
and as such is the new year.
On this religious new year
there will be special services in
all the Jewish temples with
special music and preaching. On
the first day Of the new year the
trumpet which announces the
first day of each month will be
blown with greater ceremony
and greater significance. and the
services will partake of greater
solemnity. 1t was the custom
in times past to sound the call
on the rams horn, but with later
years has come the custom of
using a trumpet.
The first day of this season is
.Rosil sHoshanah, or the day of
remem brance, and on that day
the people look back over their
year and give themselves up to
self-examination. Then follows
the ten days of the penitential
season, ending with the Yom
Kippur, or the Day of Atone
ment. This is the most solemn
of all the Jewish days.
Following the literal interpre-
tation of the first chapters of
Genesis the new year takes it's
date from the story of creation
told therein. This gives the
date of creation as the first year
and gives this year the date Of
500.
The observation of the season
is in obedience of the com mand
Of God as given in the twenty
third chapter of the book of
Levitlcus.
"The Lord spake unto Moses.
saying: Speak unto the children
Of Israel, saying. In the seventh
month, in the first day of the
month, shall ye have Sabbath,
a memorial of blowing of trum-
pets. a holy convocation. Ye
shall do no service work therein.
but ye shall offer an Offering
made by fire unto the Lord. y
It was not observed by the

FRATERNITY OF NATIONS
Senator Root Believes in Growth of a
 World Unity.

Elihu Root in National Magazine.
 I know there are many who listen increduiously to the gospel of inter national fraternization; there are many who think practical considerations alone rule the efforts of men-profit in trade, the almighty dollar, the balance of bookkeeping or the checks in the count ing house. Theer are many who think that this is all that there is in life, and that he is an idle dreamer and insin- cere orator who talks of the constancy of international friendship; who talks of love of country rising above love of material things; who talks of sentiment .as controlling the affairs of men. The attractions and repulsiors that move the millions rule the world today, we can net see it in single lifetime, as we can not see the movement of the tide. We see the waves, but the tide moves on inperceptibly. The progress, the steady and irresistible propress of civilization Is ever on.
 All international law and interna- tional jnstice depend upon national law

MIR. .MACK's MAGAZINE

Norman E. Mack, chairman of the democratic national committee and newspaper publisher at Buffalo, an- nounces that he is going to publish a monthly magazine and that he hopes by this means to bring democracy back to it's own.
 The republicans have no political monthly such as is contemplated by MT. Mack. Mir. Hearst has a monthly and MT. Bryan his Commoner. Neither has pushed himself into the presidency to any great extent.
 MT. Mack may do better and achieve his dream of united democracy. All indications point to a fine opening for one in the near future.
 Really, though, what MT. Mack seems to need especially is party and al, is sue, rather than magazine.

cAsTRo's DIPLOMATIC CHICKENS

Castro, ex-president of Venezuela, now a resident of the high seas and not very much at home, is enjoying the returning home to roost of lot of dip lomatic chickens which he sent out into the world in careless playfulness.
 Castro spent a good many years ex- fling or executing his enemies at home and sticking out his tongue at anyone of the powers venturing to find fault with his high-handed ways.
 There were pacific blockades of his ports and on one occasion he brought England and the United States right up to the firing line. All of which add ed greatly to his glee and contributed to his standing as the bad boy among the nations.
 Then came the day when he went to Europe and found his job promptly an nexsd by the vice president. Hurrying back to South America to forcibly re- cover his office he found his diplomatic chickens on the job, with the result that when he landed at Port de France he found an order to return him to Europe by the first ship.
 This is very discouraging to his plans for new revolution to restore him to power.
 The prospect before Castro is quiet life of exile in Europe or series of enforced journeys across the Atlantic.
 Castro is not 50 gleeful as he was, but the powers are wearing pleasant smile.

and national justice. No assemblage of nations can be expected to establish and maintain any higher standard of life in community than is maintained in the individual character of the ele- ments of the community. In the field of international arbitration we find a less fully developed sense of imperscnal justice than we had in our municipal jurisprudence. Because the world has not passed out of that stage wherein men, even arbitrators, act diplomatical- ly instead of judicially, arbitrations are too apt to lsad to diplomatic compro- mises rather than to judicial decisions. The remedy Is not to abandon arbitra- tions, but to press on iD every country the quickened conscience, the higher standard, tho judicial idea, tha sense of responsibility for impartial judgment in international affairs, as distinguished from the opportunity for negotiation in international affairs.
 We are apt to be inpatient in our judgment and forget how long 1t takes to educats whole peoples up to differ ent standards of moral law. The prin- ciple of arbitration requires the educa- tion of all peoples of civilized countries up to the same standard which exists now regarding the sacrsdness of judi cial functions exercised in OUT courts. We must learn to love justice, to regard more highly an act of justice and of generosity than even an act of courage or an act of hsroism.
 Since the dawn of civilization there has been but one republic of science, but one republic of letters; let there be but one republic of the politics of peace, one great university of the pro fessors and instructors of justice, of re- spect for huamn rights, of considera- ton for others, and of the peace of the world.

 The failures said to have been due to lack of capital-342 out of every 1,0o0-form the most significant feature of the entire exhibit. They mean that more than third of those who failed in business last year owed their misfor- tune to lack of working capital, and that they tried to do more trade than their resources warranJed. The enter prises represented in this compilation included business concerns of all de- scriptions, individual and corporate, to- gether with stock exchange houses, and the figures graphically illustrated the dangerous habit of American business men to undertake operations beyond the supporting power of their available means
 That cnly eighteen out of every 1000 VI tuG ldliuIC6 LII lOOo diS dbbIlUuec0 to competition indicates that conditions in that respect are far less disturbing than certain class of agitators would have the public believe. A far more disquieting showing Is that relating to failure due to fraud. That 115 out of every 1000 failures should have been due to lawless practices denotes con dition of business morals in which the need of improvement is both large and urgent.
 How little the element of gambling, the bugbear of reformers of certain classes operates as wrecker of busi- ness enterprise appears in the statement that only ten out of every 1000 failures in 1908 were due to that cause. In the light of these figures 'stock gamb- ling'' must ve acquitted of many grave charges so frequently made against 1t, and the last item in the list, loosely called speculation has reference to this.

The war stamp tax on tobacco has disappeared long since, and there is now a question of its revival. When the tax was enforced the packages were reduced in weight by ounces in order that the tax might not fall on the manufacturer. When the tax was repealed the weight of the packages remained the same. Should the tax be revived the packages will have to undergo another reduction.
