The Gem worker and the Idaho labor herald. (Boise, Idaho) 1914-1917, 1916-02-17

Through one of those inadvertances
which will happen in the best news
paper offices an item was scissored
into our columns and found its way
uncredited into our editorial depart
ment and expressed views concern
ing the demise of The Butte Socialist
that were not at all complimentary to
the former editor of that publication.
We feel that a grave injustice was
done that gentleman for the reason
that we know nothiNg of the facts of
which the article professed know1-
edge, and if the article had any merit
which called for its republication in
our columns it was only in a gen.
eral sense and in general applica-
ton. Insofar as we know The Butte
Socialist may have been a publication
of genuine merit and devoted to the
best interests of the laboring classes
and may have been put out of bust
ness for this very reason that it could
not be swerved from the line of duty.
Newspaper graveyards are full of
publications of the very highest aims
and purposes and of unquestioned
loyalty to the people and The Butte
Socialist may have been one OF these

AUTO LIGHTS MUST BURN.

There has been so much said and
asked pro and con regarding the en-
forcement of the law governing lights
on automobiles lately we thought we
were doing the public a philanthropic
act in advertising our view on this
one feature, and offering a compro-
mise by not requiring the rear lights
to be kept, as the law directed.
This, we, as officers of the law, had
no right to do, as was shown US by
an able attorney and personal friend,
and to whom we are grateful for his
putting US right in the premises. So
we beg to withdraw our proposition
of compromising on the light ques-
ton, and promise to do our duty as
the law directs, using common sense
and justice in the application and en-
forcement of same.
So now let's everybody be more
careful and pay more attention to our
duty in this matter, and stop all this
unnecessary agitation about aoutomo-
biles. In this and all other matters
it is so easy to know our rights and
privileges and enjoy same without
trespassing on others or violating the
law in any manner.
Let's all pull together and enjoy
our automobiles.
Your humble servant,
E. H. CRIPPEN, D. S.

CELEBRATE
ROSH HASHANAH
New Year Begins This Afternoon At
SundOwn-Service Here On
Tomorrow.

The Jewish New Year (Rosh Ha-
shanah) begins this afternoon at six
thirty o'clock and will last until to-
morrow afternoon at the same hour.
The day will be celebrated in a fitting
manner by the Hebrews of Green
wood. All stores owned by people of
that nationality will be closed for
business all day tomorrow and ser
vices will be held at the First Chris
tian church.
The old Biblical custom was to
count the day from shutdown to sun-
down and following that custom the
Jewish feast days and holidays begin
at shutdown of the day previous to
the one to be celebrated. The date
of Rosh Hashanah is the first day of
the month of Tishri, and the new year
that will tomorrow be ushered in, will,
according to the Jewish calendar, be
the year 5677.
Rosh Hashanah is in form and spir-
it a holy day distinctly and not a holi-
day such as January the first is in
this and other countries. Solemn SER
vices usually characterize it's observ-
ance both in the morning and even
ing. 1t is a day dedicated to retro
spection, introspection and resolu-
tons for the future. The day is des-
ignated as Yom- ha- Dim, or a Day of
Judgment.
The familiar greeting interchanged
by Hebrews on Rosh Hashanah will
be heard on the streets of Greenwood
tomorrow, which is "Leshonah tovah |
ti-kasevu," which being interpreted,
means MAY you be inscribed for a
good year."
A good number of Greenwood's
most distinguished merchants are of
the Hebrew nationality. When you
find their places of business closed
tomorrow you need not ask why, but !
join with their many friends in wish
ing them "Leshonah tovah ti-kasevu.'

FACTS ABOUT FRED MERKLE'S
FAMOUS BONE" PLAY IN 1908.

In this mornings Commercial APP
peal is an article describing the ia
nous bone play made by Fred Mer-
kle in 1908, which cost the New York
Giants a pennant and probably a
Worlds Championship. The article
describes the play as Merkle's failure
to touch second base after knocking
what would have been a home run,
and which would have scored two men
ahead of him and won the game from
the Chicago Cubs. As a matter of
fact, the play came up like this. With
the score tied, one New York runner
on first base and two men out, Mer-
kle singled and the runner took third
On the hit; Merkle stopping at first
base. AL Bridwell, the Giant short
sop, next up, hit a clean single to
left field. Merkle started for second
and when he saw the hit fall safe, cut
across right field to the club house,
ahead of the crowd he knew would
pour across the field at the end of the
game. As soon as he left the base
line, Johnny Evers called the atten-
ton of the Umpire on the bases, to
what Merkle had done, and then called
for the left fielder to throw in the
ball to him, and stepped on second
base and the Umpire promptly called
Merk!e out, and the run from third
did not count. Merkle's failure to go
on to second base had the same effect
on the run from third as if Bridwell
had forced him at second on an in
field %grounder. AS stated, the score
was tied and the game went on the
records as a tie game and was
later played off by special order Of
the baseball authorities of the Ma
tional League. Mathewson pitched
against Jack Pfeitfer, a left-hander,
and Chicago won 4 to 1. That year
finished one-half game ahead
Of New York and Pittsburg, who tied
second place.

Merkle's famous bone" play in 1908,

ANTWERP.

The first siege of Antwerp was brought to a conclusion 331 years ago today, Aug. IT, 1885, when Alexan- der, Prince of Parma, captured the city after having invested it for IA months. For two centuries prior to that time Antwerp had been the conn mercial center of Europe, with a great foreign commerce, as many as 2,5O0 vessels lying in its port at one time. After it's capture by the Duke of Parma it's trade was removed to Amsterdam and other towns of the United Provinces, and its population shrunk within few years from 200,- 900 to 10000. Tn 1706, after Marl- borough's victory at Raimillies. Ant werp surrendered at once. It was taken by Marshal Sake in 1746. In 1792 Antwerp was taken by the French, and, except for brief period. remained in their possession until 1914. In 1890 the Belgian troops en- tered Antwerp, and the Dutch garri- son was driven into the citadel, from which they bombarded the town. In 1892 the citadel was surrendered to the French, and with the establish ment of the Belgian government, Antwerp entered upon period of peace and prosperity which contin- ued until the Germans bombarded and captured the city.

PARKING PLACE USED TODAY BY
 10 SCORE CARS
Site of Old Congregational Church Proves Adapted
 For the Purpose.

That the parking place for automo- piles established on the site of the North Congregational church fills a long felt want was evidenced today by the fact that the entire cleared space was filled with cars and work men were busy enlarging the parking space. Mayor Wilson, Police Commits sioner Stanley and other city officials were looking over the parking place today and they had photographs talk en standing in front of the long rows of cars. Policemen are on duty about the plot all the time.
 Even with this parking place the congestion in the center of the city is only materially decreased. A business man who desired to see a client in the Security building had to hitch his horse in front of the tailoring estab- lishment of A. Joseph Williamson in Fairfield avenue. This was as close to the building as he could get to park his wagon.
 That parking spot is all right" he said, "but what will the automobile owners do when the contractors start to build the church? After they are educated to leave their cars there they won't relish the idea of going back to the street. It's a capital idea and some arrangements should be made to continue it after the builders start on the church."
 Up to moon today POP cars had been on the lot at Broad street, Bank and John streets

He was taken to the emergency hospital by Jones, where it was found that his leg had been lacerated. After treatment by Dr. c. c. Taylor he was taken to his home.
 Jones reported the accident at po- lice headquarters but was not arrested. In the car with him at the time of the accident were James H. s. Jones, his father, a woodwork manufacturer of William street, and Daniel Ferris of 69 Noble avenue. They are staying at Fairfield Beach and were on their way to this city at the time of the accident.

LIEUTENANT BERRY
 UNDERGOES OPERATION

Lieutenant Frederick Berry Of No. engine company was operated upon this morning at the Galen hospital for appendicitis by Dr. w. Lee wea- don and reports from the hospital at press hour say that his condition is most favorable.
 Lieutenant Berry was stricken while doing watch duty at the engine house a few weeks ago but did not report off duty until the morning after the first attack. His physician was called and proceeded to give treat ment to freeze the ailment out and alleviate the necessity of using the knife, but the attack was more acute than at first imagined and 1t was necessary for the lieutenant to go on the operating table today.
