Ted W. Brown Is
44th Secretary.

Secretary of State Ted w.
Brown, who will begin new
term on January 10, 1855, is the
44th Ohioan to serve in that cap
acity since Ohio became a state
in 1903.
VILLA m Creighton, Jr. was
Ohio's first Secretary of State,
serving from 1903 until December
1903, when he resigned. Prior to
that time, Winthrop Sergeant,
William Henry Harrison Qater
President of the United States)
and Charles Willing Byrd served
as Secretaries of the Northwest
Territory.
OF the "A men who have served
as Secretary of State, 25 have
been Republicans, IA Democrats,
three Wings, one a member of the
Free Soil Party, and one whose
party affiliation is not known.
Up until 1851, Secretaries of
State were elected by joint ballot
of the two houses of the General
Assembly Under the Constitution
adopted in 1851, the office became
an elective one and the term was
fixed at two years. A ConStitu-
tional Amendment adopted by the
voters at the General Election,
November 2, 1854, provides that
the Secretary of State shall hold
office for four years commencing
on the second Monday of January
1859.
The original Ohio Constitution
adopted in 1902, and now in the
custody of Secretary of State
Brown, along with other precious
documents, very briefly outlined
the duties of the Secretary at that
time as follows: "A Secretary of
State shall be appointed by a
joint ballot of the Senate and the
House of Representatives, who
shall continue in office three
years, if he shall SO long behave
himself we'll; shall keep a fair
register of all the official acts
and proceedings of the Governor;
and shall, when required, lay the
same and all papers, minutes and
vouchers relative thereto, before
either branch of the Legislature;
and shall perform such other du-
ties as shall be assigned him by
law.
While the early Secretaries of
State were actually charged with
little more than serving as Sec
retary to the Governor, other du-
ties were quickly added as the
State grew and by the time the
new Constitution was adopted in
1851, the office was not only made
elective by the people but a great
many additional duties were as
signed to the Secretary of State.
Each succeeding Legislature has
added duties, making the Secre-
tary of States office an import
ant state office, serving the public
in nultitudinous ways.

Festival of Lights which is called
Chanulah. Purim differs from
Chanukah in two respects. On
Purim we read the Megillah-the
scroll which narrates the story of
Purim as it transpired in the Per
sian Empire in about the year SIS
B. c. near the end of the Baby
lonian Exile. The outstanding pre-
cept of the Holiday is TO rejoice
physically. Purim is characterized
by physical happiness-to eat.
drink and be merry: Chanukah.
when we say the full Hallel and
the candles are lit is characterized
by its spiritual happiness.
The second difference is that on
Purim, Hannah set out to kill the
Jewish people-to kill the body of
Jewry. We therefore celebrate
with eating and drinking, bodily
pleasures. We thank CD that we
were spared from dying a pur-
poseless death. On Chanukah, the
tyrant Antiochus set out to kill
our spirit, and destroy the soul of
Jewry. We therefore celebrate
with the special prayer Hallel
praising Cd and with. the lighting
of candles-spiritual pleasure.

THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY

I have no desire to take upon
my shoulders the responsibility TO
state outright that our spiritual
survival is all that matters-and
that we should disregard our ply
steal welfare. I rather believe that
they are inter-dependent one upon
the other. Neglect our spiritual
values and you endanger our ply
steal welfare. II is therefore wise
precaution for American JewrY
who are in no physical peril not to
go too far in their neglect of their
spiritual heritage.

single event described therein is miracu-

celebration of the joyous festival of Purim
is not in the action of any individual
