OBSERVE
PASSOVER FESTIVAL
Household to Make Merry, and
Devout Worship in Their
Synagogues This Week.

The most Joyous festival Of the He
brew year, the feast of the passover.
commcmorating the release of the chill
drcn of Israel from the bondage Of the
Pharaohs. begins with sunset this even
ing and will continue seven days. The
real holidays during the feast are the
first day and the last. On those days
Hebrew households make merry, and
the devout worship in the synagogues.
During the feast OF the passover no
leavcned bread Is eaten by orthodox
Hebrews. but an unsalted, unleavened
biscuit called .'matzah" takes the place
of ordinary bread. This bread is eaten
to commemorate the fact that the chill
dren of Israel left Egypt so hurriediy
that they had not time to prepare bread
and ate bread without salt or yeast.
In Washington the festival Will be
celebrated with religious joyousness ac-
cor6iing to the teachings of the Talmud.
A special home service will be observed
before the evening meal tonight, which
Is called the "Seder." Services will be
held in the churches which are pre-
pared especially for the season and in
which every orthodox Hebrew is called
upon to take part.

OF the people are paramount. II il
should be found that the rates under the
bill are so low now that no concessions
can be obtained from other nations the
Administration will not worry, but will
assume that the people and not the
manufacturers have received the bene-
fit.

LAW BEHIND TIMES"
BELIEF OF HOLMES
Supreme Court Justice Says
Truth of Charges Should
Be Earnestly Sought.

That the attacks on the courts arc
merely an expression of the prevailing
unrest which seems to wonder whether
law and order pay, is the opinion cX-
pressed by Justice Holmes. of the Su-
preme Court. in a speech given recently
at a private dinner in New York and
now printed as a public document He
pointed out that the courts are charged
with usurping functions. and with being
a tool OF the money power
Il get letters, not always anonymous,
intimating that We are corrupt Well,
gentlemen, i admit that 1t makes my
heart ache. 1t is very painful, when
one spends all the energies of ones soul
in trying to do good work with no
thought but that of solving a problem
according to the rules by which one is
bound, to know that many see sinister
motives and would be glad of evidence
that one was consciously bad.
Must Seek Germ of Truth.
But we must take such things philo-
sophically and try to see what we can
learn from hatred and distrust and
whether behind them there may not
be some germ of inarticulate truth
Judges. he said, especially in State
courts, had read their sympathies pre-
maturely into law.
1T cannot be helped-it is as II should
be-that the law is behind the times" 4"
declared Justice Holmes. "As law en-
bodies beliefs that have triumphed in
the battle of ideas and then have trans
lated themselves into action. while there
still is doubt while opposite convictions
still keep a battle front against each
other, the time for law has not come:
the notion destined to prevail is not yet
entitled to the field"
Sees New Complication.
Justice Holmes said that as he grew
old he grew calm, and he predicted
competition from new races would cut
deeper in the future than workingmen's
disputes and test whether we can

In reporting to his company, Cap

The Volturno was aflre and helpless

A message to Lloyd stated that the
captain of the Nolturno had not died
on his ship, but had been taken on
board the Kroonland, with the second,
third and hfth officers.

HOKE SMITH IS
ASSA|LED BY
HUTCHENS

G. r. Hutchens. Of Rome. manager
OF the primary campaign for Oscar
Underwood in Georgia, former menu
Der Of the State Prison Commission
and well-known attorney, has hurled
defiance at Senator Hoke Smith.
He criticises the Senator's part in
the distribution of State patronage In
Georgia and his alleged prescription
of everybody who dares disagree with
him in things political, besides prom
Using him not opposition for return
to the Senate. Mr.. Hutchens says
Wilson lost Georgia because of Sena-
tor Smiths support.
Mr.. Hutchens' statement comes in
the form of a card to The Georgian,
and reads as follows:
q have watched, in a spirit OF fair
ness, the manipulation of Senator
Hoke Smith in reference to the ap-
pointments to Federal Office in Geor-
gia by the Administration, and / pre-
sumo that I am not the only man III
the State who has noticed the rank
partisanship in every instance. He
seems to have forgotten that there
are many Democrats in Georgia who
do not approve his course.
TN the presidential primary last
year Mr.. Underwood carried the State
by approximately $1,000 ma Jority, and
In the final election the Underwood
supporters were very active, and by
their diligence succeeded in polling, l
believe, the largest majority cast in a
national election in years.
This was the case notwithstanding
the regular Republican organization
and Roosevelt Progressives were the
most active opponents that the Demo-
cratic organization has had in a long
while. However, l am in a position
to know that the $4,000 majority
against Governor Wilson in the prl-
mary was not so much the result Of
opposition to him as II was opposition
to Senator Smith. Almost everybody
knows this.
Notwithstanding the loyalty Of the
Underwood supporters in the final
election in giving their support and
contributing their money, these
thousands of Democrats have been
spit upon, outlawed and kicked out
of the party and denied recognition
through the influence and approval
of Senator Smith,
He has openly defied the great ma
jority of Democrats in this State, and
seeks to punish them because they do
not toss their cap in air at sight of
him, or shout in ecstasy at the sound
of his voice.
Very well, these Democrats VIII
not decline his challenge, but will en-
gage in the combat soon, and we will
have a repetition of the fall which is
usually preceded by such arrogance
and pride as Senator Smith is dis
playing.
"These Democrats, together with
thousands of others to whom he re-
fused to submit his candidacy at the
time he was elected Senator by the
Legislature, will have a chance 10
express their preference at the ballot
box. They are not towards and know
how to vindicate themselves and re-
sent their Acknowledgement and re
buke his dictatorial high handed pol
icies.
1.-THE people OF Georgia will not sur
render the Democratic party Of the
State into any one mans hands. This,
If il were done, would be a cruel
fixion OF the fundamental principles
Of Democracy which all men know u
be government by the people and not
by any one man, or by any favored
few"
