Jewish New Year.

The Jewish new year, called Rosh
ha Shana, opened Sunday evening.
The day is not observed as a civil
but as a religious festival. Modern
Jews use the civil calendar for all
ordinary purposes, but date their
feasts and fasts according to the
moon. Orthodox observers still OBJ
serve two days for the new year, to
make a distinction between the in
habitants of Palestine and all others.
The day begins at sunset, a mode lof
reckoning that is supported, tradi-
tionally, by the Biblical story of Gre
alton, in which the evening is men,
toned before the morning. The
year is 567S, counting from the ira
ditional time of the creation of the
world.

Enemies at Home.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in an
address last week, lashed the slack
ers at home who were not supporting
the war against Germany. 1t was a
characteristic address of the Colonel,
full of vigor and strong denuncia-
tions of those who would profit by
the unusual conditions on account of
the war. In part Colonel Roosevelt
said:
"The obscene cruelty and brutal
ity of the German armies under the
explicit direction of German govern
ment has been of such unspeakable
foulness that it is a crime against
this action and against all mankind
directly or indirectly to uphold iGer-
many; and all who do not heartily
back the United States, and the al
lies of the United States, against
Germany are guilty of this crime
and are disloyal to this country.

II there is one man in America to-
day whose patriotism runs firm and
true that man is Theodore Roosevelt.
No American citizen better under
stood the preparation, strength and
aims of Germany than Roosevelt.
He could see the probable outcome
of German militarism and as Presi-
dent advocated preparedness. He
was laughed to scorn and such ora
tors as William Jennings Bryon took
his attitude as a subject for "Imper-
alism." War came and Roosevelt Of
fered to raise a volunteer army of
100000 men, and he would have
done so, and today they would have
been an effective fighting force on
European battlefields, but the gov
eminent turned him down. Snub-
bed on every hand, did he sulk? No,
he came up smiling, his love of coun-
try untinged, and on every oppor-
tunity he has advocated loyal and
earnest support to the government
and today his voice is pleading for a
concentration of effort that will as
sure speedy victory to American
arms. Every true American can APP
plaud the patriotism of Theodore
Roosevelt. This is a time when per-
sonal ambition, party and sectional
lines should be cast aside and the
love Of country and the principles
of American liberty alone guide our
action.

Bennington Battle Day.

The Bellows Falls Times and Ver-
gennes Enterprise are calling for a
repeal of the statute making August
l6 legal holiday in Vermont, and
as known as Bennington Battle Day.
These papers claim it is farce and
favors few, especially giving post
office employees an excuse for closing
the office. The claim that it is not
generally observed may be true in
part, but the Herald would like to
ask why not? The battle of Benning-
ton was turning point in the Revo-
lutionary war. 1t halted the onward
rush of Burgoyne and saved New
. England from devastation by a mer-
CHESS foe. The battle of Benning-
ton gave Burgoyne's army death
blow and was the forerunner of his
surrender at Saratoga. 1t was one
of the important battles in the war
for American independence and it
was won by Vermont yemen led by
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
militia under that stern old fighter
General Stark. 1t was a Vermont
battle and should be a state holiday.
If it is not properly observed it is
because a patriotic sentiment and
state pride has become lukewarm,
and to the shame of Vermonters.
Those Green Mountain Boys in the
battle of Bennington had been fired
with the patriotism of Ethan Allen,
who fought his battles for independ-
ence in the Name of the Great
Jehovah and !the Continental Con-
gress." and under the leadership of
Seth Warner and Remember Baker
made history for Vermont and Amer
lea. If the state should so far forget
the work of those patriotic fathers
who gave US the State of Vermont
by their sacrifice and toll, then let
the statue Of Ethan Allen at the
state capitol be placed in some 90

The man who makes a huge prof
it out of the war, is an enemy of his
country; and an organization like
the Industrial Workers of theWorld,
which is playing the German game
in this country, and whose preaching
and practice spell destruction to civ
ilization, is as much an enemy to
this country as hostile army.
THE INSCRIPTIONS profters and
the workingmen who refuse to do
first class work for a first class wage
are really the allies of our enemies;
and of course the pro-Germans, the
professional pacifsts, the men who
wish an inconclusive peace or a peace
without a victory, the Industrial
Workers of the World, the socialist
machine, are not merely allies of our
enemies, but are themselves our en-
emies.
1--WE should work in the spirit of
the body of men. representing the
railroad brotherhoods whom | .ad-
dressed not long ago; whose chair
man in introducing me said that the
one purpose, now that the country
was at war, was to help the country
in every possible way, not only by
making it matter of pride to dc
their work with the utmost efficiency;
and pending the war to insist on
nothing in their own interest unless
it was primarily in the interest of
the country as whole.
1--WE are fighting for humanity;
but primarily we are fighting for
our own country, for safety of
America in the world. We are
fighting on the other side of the
water so that we may not have to
fight on this side of the water.
"Only the overthrow of the brutal
and INSCRIPTIONS militarism of the
Prussianized Germany of the Ho-
henzollerns will make this world safe
either for the United States or for
democracy.
LET us bend our whole energies
towards this end. Let US resolve
that if all our allies should slip away
from US we would nevertheless con-
tinue the war singlehanded until the
end is attained. Let us heartily
back up the government in every
wise step it takes for the speedy
achievement of this end; but let us,
as patriots, not less clearly empha-
size the fact that we demand from
our government wisdom, energy and
a spirit of broad Americanism and a
patriotic absence of ,partisanship in
thus prosecuting the war. ~.

dustry, in producing food, or cloth
ing, or munitions, or in managing
the transportation of the country.
Let us cheerfully pay our increased

are trying to aid our soldiers.
