I Rosh Hashanah, with the poslsble
hcepllon of Yom Klppur, the day of
ppentance, is the most Important of
He h iliriays of the Jewish people. U l.»
He first day of the religious year and at
(be same lime the day on which all the
(eeple of the world are supposed tr

Strange as It may seem at first, New
Tear's Pay does not Come In the first
B'lnth. hut In the seventh. The first
calendar month Is Nissan. The first
if .Nissan ts the first of the year. In
Hat It marks the deliverance of the
Jews from bondage In Egypt under the
cr-j-1 Pharaoh. It corresponds more
closely with America's Fourth of July
than w ith January 1, except that while
the Fourth of July and the first of Nit-
tan arc both civic holidays, with Amer
ica the former is observed purely as
civic, while with the Jews the latter Is
observed ns a religious holiday.
The first day of Tlshrl, the seventh
month, is called New Year's Day and
the year Is really dated from this day
tenuse It Is supposed to represent the
tr(lnnlng of the harvest, and nearly
ill the old holidays were, more or less,
brlrultural. Rosh Hashanah corrc-
■pomls with the first of January with
the difference that the-former la made
i religious holiday for the Jews while
the litter Is purely secular.
On Rosh Hashanah, according, to the
Jewish belief, the people of the world
|c*s in Judgment, but on Yom Klppur,
Be lays thereafter, they offer repent-
for their sins. This day is set
lible for penitence and prayer, and
luring its progress no Jew partakes of
Invthlng to eat or drink.
Rosh Hashanah, New Year’s Day, Is
the feast of the beginning of the harv-
Succnth, which follows twenty-
one days thereafter. Is the feast of tho
gathering of the harvest.

The Jewish people of the world are
generally considered a nappy people,
except la those countries where they
•re persecuted beyend the possibility
tf being happy,. Their general opti
mism may be partially explained by the
nature of their rellgloua holidays, all
of which with but one exception. Yom
Klppur, are festivals of Joy and thanks
giving.

To the Editor of The Georgian:
Since the beginning of the great fight
for reform In Georgia I have been a
constant reader of your moat excellent
paper, The Georgian. Many things you
have said through Its columns have
gone far toward gaining the ground we
now occupy, but no greater warning,
nor one more timely, could have been
sounded than your editorial In Satur
day's paper. "Vigilance the Safety of
Reform."
If the ground gained Is held we
MUST WATCH the "senatorial candi
dates.” _ ......
Since the passage of the prohibition
bill I have repeatedly said that the
greatest fight was yet to come. The
“combined forces’ will point "their
guns" this way and every man offer-
Ing for office—municipal, county or
state—should be "Bounded, and If he
docs not "ring” true, let him remain
"at home," for there are men who will
stand true If elected. ...
Keep up the fight, for Indeed vigi
lance In this matter Is the price of

coincidence R. 51. Hughes, E. J. Me-

reason to wonder.
Five years ago these three went to
Denver as delegates to the National

Since that time all throb have been
