CHARTER PLAN SHOULD BE TRIED.

The plan for the Alaska Railroad to charter vessels which normally operate to Alaska on regular schedule out of Seattle plus cannery supply ships conditioned for voyages to Alaskan ports ought to be adopted by the Federal Government. It has much promise in it and to be the only manner in which serious friction with the strikers be avoided if traffic is to be resumed The attitude of the unions is unmistakably against any loading of commercial as long as the general conditions remain saiings for necessary foodsufs and other essentials but not to open industrial operations.
 There seems to be but two methods in which the impasse can be ended. The charter method seems to be available. The other is through armed protection to strkebreakers State militia Federal troops. Whichever is used those who fully informed the situation in Seattle and other Puget Sound ports foresee serious trouble probable bloodshed,' Judge Reynolds, Federal mediator, expressed it. That should be averted if it is humanly possible. It would leave for many years, pro- ducng resentment not only among the longshoremen but other unions as well that would have a disturb ing effect the entire economic situation for a long time.
 The charter method, in view of the expressed willingness of the unions to load Government ships with necessary supplies, might bring the desired resumption of traffic between Alaska and Puget Sound without serious friction. Of course if the longshoremen then refuse to load vessels under Government charter that is a contingency to be considered if it arises. Certainly the Federal Gov- ernment cannot longer stand by and see this Ter ritory starved to death through the cessation of vessel operation.

BONFIRE REFLECTION
 CALLS OUT FIRE DEPT.

Flame reflections in window brought out the fire department this afternoon at 3:45 o'clock.
 Workmen employed by the Kraft Cabinet Works on the repairing of Mrs. Anna Winn's house on Third Street near Franklin, scene of a recent fire, were burning scrap from the house in the lot before it.
 Some passerby apparently caught a glimpse of the reflection of the bonfire in the window of a nearby house and turned in the alarm without checking up.

The War Chest.
(New York World Telegram

(NeW York World-TelegramJ
 President Roosevets budget message to Congress yesterday was inventory of the chest against depression
 Appropriately, he holds to the determination nounced in January of bringing the Federal Gov ernments operations out of the red if possible by the end of the fiscal year 1886. The good credit of the Government is the cornerstone of confidence so necessary for recovery.
 Fortunately the President has not closed the door against emergency appropriations in of the requested 1922 100000 if they become necessary but has merely pointed out that higher taxes must go hand-in-hand with a larger appropriation if the budget is to be balanced in 1886
 Congress failed when it had the tax bill under consideration to take precautions against the pos sibility of unexpected demands upon the Treasury; having so failed the only course that Congress now pursue IS to follow the Presidents program
 Relief expenditures by the Federal Government must be continued. There should be no controversy in Congress this point. Federal relief forced, after too long delay, by uncompromising necessity trailing in the wake of collapsed private charity and bankrupted States and municipalities.
 Four and one-half million families are still dependent upon Federal relief and relief funds being expended at the rate of $9o,OoO,OoO month.
 The Administrations effort, whenever possible, to provide jobs instead of doles follows the best American traditions. But playing politics with the taxpayers money and the unemployed mans need is not in keeping with either good traditions good government.
 Fights will be waged in Congress on two points on the adequacy of the appropriation and attempts to earmark for pet projects portions of the s560,000,0O0 lump for public works and relief. The President wisely has asked that the sum be restricted
 No knows whether the appropriation, together with the nearly two billion dollars already appropriated and yet unspent, will prove adequate That be answered only by business conditions and weather conditions that cannot be fore cast. The President, however, seems confident that the fund will be sufficient at least until Congress reconvenes in January If events prove that he has guessed wrong it will be up to him to call special session
 It is this very uncertainty of what the fall and winter months will bring that should impe Congress to give the President the free hand that he has asked to divert savings from other appropriations for relief purposes.

PLAN OBSERVANCE
OF 'YOM KIPPUR'
ON SEPT. Is TO 10
BEGINS AT SUNSET AND
ENDS AT SUNSET OF FOL-
LOWING DAY; SERVICES AT
LOCAL SYNAGOGUE

The Day of Atonement or "Yom
Kippur," the tenth day of the
month of Tishri, begins at sunset
Tuesday, September IS. and ends
at sunset Wednesday, September
10. The thought underlying the
day is expressed in the scriptural
words "On this day He will atone
for you. to purify you from your
sins" 1t is a day of reconcilia
ton of man with his fellow-man
and with God, and comes as a eli
max to the holiday season which
began Sunday evening, Septem
Der 8 with the New Years day
and continued through the ten
days of penitence. Services in
connection with the event will be
conducted at the local synagogue.
The Day is the most solemn of
all the days in the Jewish calendar.
1t is passed in fasting and prayer.
The whole day is spent in the syna-
gogue. In the evening there is the
service which commences with the
chanting of the well-known Kol
Nidre prayer. The day proper has
four services. Of these the Mussaf
or afternoon service contains q
description of the atonement rites
as practiced in the ancient days IN
the Temple of Jerusalem; and the
closing service is understood to be
held at the time when traditional
ly decision is finally made as to
mans fate. and thus these prayers
instead of having the usual phrase,
'1nscribe us in the book of life. !"
usc the expression: "Seal us in the
book of life"
According to Jewish tradition
expressed in an ancient lawbook,
the Day Of Atonement. when spent
in praying and repenting, will
bring pardon for sins between
man and God; but as for the sins
committed by man against his fell
bowman the Day cannot bring
pardon until he has become re-
conciled with his fellow-man. This
idea is the basis of the effort al
ways made before the Day OF
Atonement to bring peace be-
tween members of a family or
such friends who have become
estranged and are on unfriendly
terms with one another; and in
this way, the Day achieves its
purpose to put the worshipper at
peace not only with his Maker,
but also with his fellowman.
