FEAST DAY
NEXT WEEK
channukah Which Lasts for Eight
Days, Begins on De-
cembes 10.

The Feast of Dedication ,IChan-
nukah commences at sundownS Tues
day. December 18th, and lasts for
eight days. 1t celebrates the success
full ending Of a war against religious
tyranny. Its predominant message.
therefore, is religious liberty.
In the year i62 before the present
era, the Syrian king. Antiohcus Ept
planes, set up a statue OF a pagan
deity in the Jewish temple Of Jerl--
salem. and tried TO compel ..ss Jews
to worship IL and abandon their own
historic faith. This effort at forcing
an alien religion upon the Jewish
people provoked a bitter revolt In
which the Jews. led by the famous
Judas Maccabeus and his brothers,
finally defeated the Syrian armies.
re-entered Nthe temple and rededicat-
ed it as the center Of Jewish worship
In honor OF this rededication, the
feast OF Channukah fdedication) was
established, its eight days to be hoA-
days, days OF song and thanksgiving.
The holiday is marked by special
prayers OF thanks and psalms OF
praise inserted into the daily ritual.
and by the kindiing OF the Channukah
lights. The usual custom is to. light
one light on the first day. two on the
Second, three on the third, and so on,
adding one each successive day OF the
feast As to the reason for this Gus
tom OF kidding the lights, legend
tells that when Judas Maccabeus and
his victorious army rededicated the
temple and cleansed It OF all the
impurities OF idoltary. he found that
there was only enough pure oil 20
keep the perpetual light burning for
one day. and It would be long before
new oil could be procured. But
miracuIously. this small amount Of
oil lasted for eight days, and the
perpetual light was not extinguished.
For this reason II was ordained that
every year lights should be kindled
for eight days in every hons ehold.
1t became Gus tomary for th@ lights TO
be placed in the windows and the
doorways, so- that the streets OF the
cities be lighted up. Thus the feast
came to be known also as the Feast
of Lights
The Jewish date for the beginning
of this feast is the twentyfifth Of the
month of Kisley According to one
tradition, the reason that Judas Sc
lected this date is because it fell ex-
actly three years after Antiochus
has defiled the temple; according TO
another tradition it is because that
was also the day when the Israsiltes,
after being delivered from Egypt
completed the tabernacle in the kid
erness.

WHY NOT COCKTAILS.
Since the retirement Of Secretary OF War
Baker on January first is assured why should
not President Wilson, if he can, secure the
services of Major General George ". Goethals
to succeed himf General Goethals passed into
the retired list OF the army on November III

ence he would enjoy the advantage over the

such an appointment In building the Panama
canal General Goethals has done something
bigger than military work 1t was his genius
for organization, his driving ahead and doing
things, that marked his stay at the isthmus
And surely nowhere, not even in the navy de-
partment, is organization needed more lmpera-
lively than In the war department The pres
emit militia mobilization fiasco has brought
the country face to face with crisis which
requires handling by able and experienced
hands
As for the matter of politics, the fact that
General Goethais is republican should have
no bearing. IF Mr. Wilson finds him big
enough to share responsibility In the ''eight-
hour railroad law controversy why not In the
vital business of national defense, for which
long career has peculiarly fitted him9
4 great deal of congratulation is being Of
fered the government by It's friends over the
matter Of the progress in building the ships re-
quired this year by the navy program Of con-
struction. But word is deserved by the ship
building companies which have undertaken the
work thus far contracted for. Just at time
when every great shpbuilding plant in the
country is almost overwhelmed with work at
prices that admit of large profits, the govern
rnent comes into the market for the most com
prehensiye lot Of warship building undertaken
in a single wear. Government contracts are
not easy Of execution; there is deal Of red tape
and there are many requirements, TO fail
in any Of which means fine which dlmlnlshes
the profits And the time limit means that
other work must make way for government
work II has been evident that the companies
bidding on the contracts let have not been actu-
ated merely by commercial motives; they are
willing TO do their part in the execution OF
plans for preparedness. In the matter Of con-
gratulstions share is deserved by the con-
tracing firms that are undertaking to build
our navy for us.

MADE QUICK CHANGE
Auditorium GaiIy Decorated Was
Scene of Entertainment Last Night.

Preparatory to the big banquet and
entertainment given by the Merchants
and Jobbers' association to the visit
ing merchants last night at the audi
forum, a small army of men worked
diligently in arranging the decoration,
stage settings and the banquet boards
for the throng that came at $50.
The stage setting, the motion pic
ture machine and equipment, the spe-
cial decorations were hurriedly trans
ferred from the Orpheum theatre.
The task of converting a bare stage
into one of the artistic scenic effects
was not little one. To hang a motion
picture screen from the dome of the
big auditorium, to shift quartet from
the regular schedule OF the theatre to
the auditorium, to bring the rip roar
ing Keystone comedy, Fatty and
Mabel here from its regular circuit,
these were very busy hours for the
management of the Orpheum and the
committee Of business men, but upon
the surface and to the visitors, every
event was presented as scheduled and
without friction.

Best Man for Presidency in

IN NAVY DURING SPANISH WAR
Must Drive Out Party Which
Injured the Nation.
Weeks Would Secure Peace and
Rights of U. s.

Chicago, June s.-The name of
Senator John w. Weeks, of Massachu
sets, was presented to the Repubu-
can national convention today by Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge. Senator
Lodge spoke as follows:
Born and bred in New Hampshire,
adopted by Massachusetts,, the candi-
date whose name I am about to pre-
sent, commands the confidence and
the high respect of these two old
states, whose names stand together on
the Declaration of Independence and
on the constitution of the United
States. Admitted to the Naval acad-
envy in 1877, he received not only the
thorough education which is there al
ways given, but he also learned those
lessons of patriotism, of honor and of
devotion to the country and to the
flag which are never forgotten by the
graduates of Annapolis and West
Point.
After leaving the navy he attained
in civil life to a large and well-earned
success in the business world, whose
trust he never failed to command. In
that practical school he acquired a
wide knowledge of all the great eco
nomic policies and of the problems of
finance upon which the prosperity of
the country SO largely depends. In
1898, when war came to us, he re-
youth and served his country in naval
command during the conflict with
Spain. He was chosen to be mayor
of Newton, the city where he lives, in
1903, and after an administration of
great success, he was elected a mem
Der of congress. In the house, he rose
to the front rank and to high dfstinc-
ton not only as a debater but as a
master of economic questions and a
legislator of marked constructive
ability.
After eight years service in the
house. he was elected to the senate,
where he has not only continued but
has added to the distinction which he
had won in the other branch of con-
gress and where his standing and
reputation are known to all men. A
better training for the highest and
most responsible of public offices
could not be devised, and this train
ing rests on the firm foundation of dis
tlnguished abilities, strong and up
right character and a reputation with
out blemish or reproach.
Discredited by Democrats.
The first duty of the Republican
party in the coming campaign is to
drive from power the administration
and the party which have so gravely
| injured us at home and so deeply dis
| credited us abroad. In this great task
we invite the cooperation of all citt-
zens who share our views in regard
to the present administration and urge
| them to join with us in the work of
bringing the country back to the
sound economic policies under which
the material prosperity of the Repub-
lie has been built up during the last
half century, and in restoring the in
fluence and position beyond our own
borders which the United States once
held but which have been lost in the
last three years.
To do this we must have a candi-
date who will command support be-
yond the strict limits of the party and
receive it from all men who sympa-
