Col. Thomas the New
Tax Commissioner

Col. Fred B. Thomas, who has
been named by Gov. Hardness fol
tax commissioner to succeed Mel
vim G.. Morse, will resign as States
Attorney for Washington county
and take up his new position on
December 1.
The appointment of Col. Thomas
will be well received in Montpel-
Ter and especially so in American
Legion circles. Col. Thomas was
the first commander of Montpelier
Post which position he relinquish-
ed when he ran for the office of
states attorney.
Col. Thomas was commander of
the First Vermont at the outbreak
of the World War, went with the
regiment to Westfeld and later
with the remnant to a southern
camp after the regiment was brok-
en- up. He went overseas with the
57th Pioneer Infantry. Col.
Thomas has been identified with
the National Guard since the days
of the Spanish-American war of
which he is veteran. He is a
married. He is a member OF
the firm of Thomas & Miller.

have been instructed in their dn-
ties, which in the main will be to
keep watch and ward over what
are presumed to be sections of the
city less likely to prove potential
sources of danger, leaving the reg
ular members of the force free to
serve as augmented guards of
places of assemblage, foreign en-
bassies Government buildings and
offices etc, etc. Not the least
carefully guarded will be the Cap
itol itself, where, it is recognized,
if a demonstration against the es-
tablished order of things were
to be made, great destruction of
life and property might result. 1t
is upon the Pan American Build
ing, however, that the greatest at
tention will be bestowed, since it
is to be the scene of the chief de-
alterations.
Not since the darkest days of
the war, when German intrigue
was abroad in the land, has the
tension in Washington been so
great as today with respect to the
task of affording adequate protec
ton to the people assembled in
the city. No doubt apprehension
has been heightened of late by the
activities of bomb plotters in Eur
ope, and by occasional meagre re-
ports received that secret service
agents have unearthed half for
mulated plans for similar demon
strations on this side of the water.
No doubt also the knowledge that
so many noteworthy representa-
tives of foreign powers are to be
gathered in the national Capital
at one time adds to the general
feeling of nervousness.
Be that as it may, the authorit-
les of the district and the Govern
ment are carrying out their well
thought out plans toward prevent
ing any untoward incident likely
to cast a gloom over the great
convocation. To that end, as each
group of visiting delegates or its
intourage arrives at the Union
station, a cavalry escort, from
Fort Myer over the hill by the
Arlington Cemetery, is found
drawn up at the portals of the
structure, ready to enclose the Wis
itors in protective formation and
thus accompany them to their
hotel or embassy. The represen-
tatives of foreign nations are
CHARTERED all about the city. Their
leaders have expensive suites at
the big hotels, some of which
have been bought up in their en-
tirety, practically, for the duration
of the conference. The lesser
luminaries are domiciled here and !
there, some in private houses rent
ed for the occasion, some in apart
ment buildings, some comparative
ly few at the various embassies.
Driving about the city one meets
everywhere automobile professions
of French, British, Italians, Chin
csc, and Japs, with their national
colors flying gaily from the radia-
tors of their cars. To all appear
ances they haven't care in the
world. On the surface there is
to show that today at the
Capital of this nation world his
tory is already in the making.

"The statements that have been

Jewish gendarmerie was made an ex-
plicit condition in Paragraph 2 of my
agreement with Slavinsky.

Legion for Palestine in 1915, and I

nor to make any concessions to mis-
guided public feeling.

Another word.-When Judas Mac
cabeus returned victorious from the
battlefield, he ordered the Sanctuary
cleansed and the statues of Zeus and
Antiochus demolished. Then he
ordered made new vessels and new
altar. When fire was kindled and
the lamps lighted, the dedication
lasted eight days. The Great Coun-
Gil, together with the Hasmonean
brothers, declared that these days
be dedicated for future generations
to remember that justice unarmed
is mightier than injustice armed;
that victory in the long run is never
to him mighty in battle, and that
despotism and tyranny had received

hand of Judea.
The Talmud relates that when the
Temple was cleansed and the candles
lighted, no consecrated oil was to be
found. Then a small cruise revealed
itself, in which was found enough
only for one, day. Yet the candles
burned eight days.

JABOTINSKY DENIES LEGIONS
TO FIGHT BOLSHEVIKI

New York e.. C. BIN a state
ment which Mr.. V. Jabotinsky gave to
the Jewish Correspondence Bureau, he
confirmed the press reports that he
had negotiated with representatives
of Petlura with reference to the crea-
ton of Jewish armed forces in the
Ukraine for the defense of the Jews.
At the same time he denied categori-
cally that the proposed battalions
were intended to serve with Petlura's
insurrectionary forces against the
Bolsheviki. The statement is circu-
lated by the J. G.. B., as follows:
"The only means of preventing or
reducing pogroms in any danger zone
is to have Jewish gendarmerie.
"The question as to whether Petlura
is an anti-Semite or not is of no i'm
portance and does not enter into this
consideration. I am prepared to well
come Jewish armed forces with Deni-
kin even, and would have welcomed
them with the Car. Wherever there
is danger of hostility against Jews, I
want armed Jews to defend them
selves.

TO INVESTIGATE DOCUMENTS
SHOWING COLUMBUS WAS
A JEW

Madrid q. c. B.)-A special COM
mission to investigate newly discov-
cred documents purporting to show
that Columbus was Jew, has been
appointed by the Spanish government.
The documents, which are said to
have just come to light, tend to indi-
cate that Columbus was obliged to
hide the fact Of his Jewish origin
from the Catholic monarchs of Spain
in order to obtain their aid for his
voyage.
Various drawings and portraits
seem to show that the discoverer of
America had Jewish facial features.
It is also shown that his mothers
name was Shushanah, and that her
fathers name was Jacob. Like a
large number of Jews of his time,
Columbus practiced Judaism secretly.
It is believed that Columbus told
Queen Isabella and her consort Ferdi-
nand that he was a messenger from
Jehovah. One of his plans was to
wrest the Holy Land from the infidel
Turk with the riches he set out to find
in India.

horde was a huge elephant decked
with exquisite trappings. On the
top of the turret the king himself
was apparently in the seat of the
archer.
Eleazar, brother of Judas, who was
fighting at the front, saw the royal
equipage, stopped for moment
among the flying arrows, and flung
himself with his sword on the huge
beast. But the steel would not pierce
the adamantine armor. Without
thought he threw himself under the
brute's belly and stabbed him with
his dagger. The elephant sank to

RABBINICAL BOOTLEG
GING

CLING
The announcement that the
Federal authorities charged with
the enforcement of the prohibi-
ton amendment to the national
Constitution are about to investi-
gate the modus operandi where
by "rabbis" are circumventing
the law on behalf of thirsty nom
Jews must be welcomed by the
community. AS is we'll known,
of course, Orthodox Jews are per-
mitted under the existing prohi-
bition law to obtain a legitimate
amount of wine each year for sac
ramental purposes. This is both
right and lawful, and so far as
this exemption affects the Ortho-
dox section of our community
and it's duly accredited rabbis no
official criticism of the practice
has been or may be uttered.
But the "rabbis" who are mis-
using the exemption in favor of
Orthodox Jews for the purpose Of
enriching themselves and, Incl
dentally, to enable non-Jews to
crafty their illegitimate lust for
liquor should be investigated and,
if found guilty of unlawful prac-
tees, visited with condign pun
ishment. Such law-breakers bring
the entire community into dis
repute through their objection
able behavior. They act in such
a way as to make "chillul ha-
Shem" the only phrase which cor
rectly describes what they are do
ing. Indeed, through their ne
farious activity the well-defned
rights of the community, which
are both lawful and legitimate,
are seriously threatened. The
community owes it to itself and
to it's reputation for being COM
posed of law-abiding citizens to
weed out these "rabbis" root and
branch. The officials charged with
the enforcement of the prohibition
law know and understand the
distinction between rabbis and
''rabbis" and between Orthodox
Jews who make legitimate use of
the wine that they require for the
necessary sacramento purpose of
our faith and non-Jews who have
no part or interest in Our COM

abets these "rabbis" in their i'm
proper performances.

REAL BOOKS

The high prices of new books will prove a blessing in disguise if only they have the effect of setting peo- pie to reading some of the old ones. There has not been a time within the last forty years when the buyer of new books got so little for his money as he gets today. Many serious books, so called, though not large in bulk, cost from four to six dollars; and not a few of them are so hastily thrown together, are so unscholarly, so lacking in anything like real au. thority or utility that they would be dear at any price. In the field of fic- tion so many popular authors are writing with one eye on the movies and the other on the speakies that the reader often gets mighty lean pickings for his two dollars.
 There are social groups all over the land in which it is thought to be a sign of intellectual inferiority not to have read the newest novel, though no odium attaches to the pro- foundest ignorance of the larger part of the really great fiction of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In these pseudo-intellectual circles every young matron is expected to have a glib opinion of the immatur- est coCkney writer of corduroy verse; ; but no one even thinks of chiding her for never having read twenty consecu- tive pages of that noble company of singers who are the pick and flow CT of six hundred years of English song
 Fiction, poetry and the essay are not the only kinds of reading that have just claim upon our interest. Certain Americans need Americaniz- atiOn almost as much as the swarthy immigrants who are swarming in at Ellis Island. Very few of us know nearly as much as we should of the history of our own country, of the beginnings and growth of it's institu. tions or of the lives of the sturdy statesmen, soldiers and pioneers who made thirteen struggling, thinly set, | tied colonies into a vigorous young nation with a mighty destiny before it. These matters are well worth reading about, whether in the pages of Bancroft, John Fiske, George Otto
 Trevelyn and former Senator Bever l idge or in those of dozens of less
 familiar authors.-Saturday Evening
