Jewish Holidays.

|
The setting of the sun on Friday,
Sept. %, marked the beginning OF
the year 5672 of the Jewish calendar,
and for tWenty-four hours, or until
sunset Saturday, Jewish people the
world over observed the day by feast
Ing and merriment and relaxation
from all business cares. The Biblical
basis for the observance of the first
day of Tishri as a New Years day,
the most solemn day Of the Jewish
calendar next to YomKippur, is found
in the reference to a Zikkaron
(memorial day. in Leviticus, XXIII-
"a, which reads:
In the seventh month, in the first
day of the month, shall We have a
Sabbath, a memorial of blowing trum
pets, a Holy conyocation.'
Not a mere day of rejoicing, like
the secular New Year, is this Rosh
Hashonah. It is day of memorial,
of day of remembrance, reminding
the Jew of the duty of self-examina-
ton and self-judgment When the
earnest devotions of the day are con-
Guided, however, the festival is made
an occasion of social and domestic re
joicing.
Divine services in commemoration
of the notable feast were held at
Bikur Cholim Synagogue at Z O'Clock
Friday evening, Sept. %, and 10 a. m
the following day, with large congre-
cations present on each occasion. In
the absence of a rabbi the services
were conducted by Messrs. Walter
Lemann and Raphel Singer, assisted
by Solomon Klotz, OF Napoleonville,
and particularly interesting. feature
Of the beautiful ceremonies was the
impressive lecture delivered by Mr..
Lemann, which was greatly enjoyed
and appreciated by the congrega-
ton. An elaborate musical program
was rendered by the choir, which
was composed of Mrs. Walter Lemann
Miss Sophia Mielke, Miss Marie
! Hemke and Terrier Blanchard.
| AT sunset tomorrow, Oct. /, will
begin Yom Kippur, the Day of Atone
ment. AS unlike as possible to Rosh
Hashonah, Yom Kippur is strictly a
| fast day, and the orthodox Jew is
| supposed not to parGake of anything
10 eat or drink or indulge in any
form Of business or pastime during
| the twenty-four hours of the feast
On Monday, Oct. 2, as on last Sat
urday, all Jewish places of business
will be closed until 6 o'clock p. m.
/ Services in honor of Yom =KippuI
will be held at Bikur Cholim syna
gogue at o'clock tomorrow eve
ming and 10 O'Clock Monday morn
ing. Mr.. Singer will off1ciate, as
sisted by Walter Lem ann, and a spe
cial program Of musical selection
will be rendered by the choir, which
will be composed of MesdaInes r, B
and Walter Lemann, Misses Sophia
AIielke, Marie Hemke and Ora Dial
feres, and Terrier Blanchard.
Memorial services will be held al
4 clock Monday afternoon, with Mr.
Singer officiating.
The public is extended a cordial
Invitation to attend al the cere
monies.

BEVER|DGE UPHOLDS
RECIPROCITY TREATY
Senator Pleads With His
Colleagues to Enact
the Measure.

Let lis not forget that this is not q
local and patchwork affair, but broad
national and humanitarian plan OF
craftsmanship. Generally speaking. II
affects faVorablv more thar a hundred
nine-tenths of whom are under our flag
and substantially all of whom are of
the same race, with the same Industrial
methods. the same customs, the same
ideals"
In these words Senator Albert ]. Bev-
nridge of Indiana today appealed to the
Senate to enact the Canadian reciprocity
legislation which President Taft has put
up TO Congress.
Senator Beveridge took up many of
the arguments against reciprocity and
answered them. He declared that, "ir
few selfish interests prevent even the
beginning of this beneficent program, it
we'll may be that those short-sighted
and selfish interests will be made to
suffer in stern reality infinitely more
than they vainly imagine that this re-
ciprocal arrangement will make them
suffer now"
Senator Beveridge recalled that our
wtsest statesmen, including Mckinley
were for reciprocity. He urged that no
local or selfish motives be allowed to
block IL.
The important thing, said Senator
Beveridge. was to get this great ma
tional policy established, not the matter
of the duty on a few details. He said:
''If the agreement is enacted into law
and proves beneficial to the nation as
whole, II is certain to be extended as
time goes on and the two peoples expe-
rience its good effect. II, on the other
hand, II should prove harmful to the
nation as a whole it could and would
be repealed quickly. For while this is
reciprocal arrangement, 1t takes the
form Of a statute which can be repealed
At any time instead Of a treaty which
cannot
EVERY element of the situation is an
uranswerable argument for intimate
trade relations with Canada, our closest
friend and nearest neighbor. Those ele-
ments are peculiar. They exist as to no
other country and people in the world.
They exist onlp and exclusively as to
Canada and the United States
He pointed out that free admission of
Canadian food products would make
commercial brigandage," intended to
increase the cost of living, more diff
ficult, and denied that reciprocity would
endanger the protective system.
