that the subscriber receives full

JEWISH DAT OF AT0.1EMEBT.
Today is the Jewish day of
Atonement, called in Hebrew Yom
Kippur, and it will be observed
throughout the world by people of
the Jewish faith. Iter Dr II Far
ber, of Portland, thus explains the
origin and rites of the observance of
the day:
"The tenth day of the seventh
month of Jewish reckoning, called
Tishrl, is designated as the day of
atonement, and in Hebrew called
"Yom KipDUr," the etymology ot
which ii, 'the day of forgiveness, or
eradication of existing sins.' Of
course, like the ordinance of the
other Jewish festivals, the observ
ance of thiscalled the Sabbath
of Sabbaths' dates back to remote
antiquity to biblical origin, and
was not known before the times oi
Moses among the Isaelites. From
the biblical injunction that the day
is to be strictly observed, anl dis
tinguished above all Sabbaths, it
has been adduced in what mode
and manner the religious spirit
should permeate the idea. Fast-
iog, or total abstinence, from all
food, and even the drinking of
"HAS TO TALK."
Salem Journal: "I D Driver

notice. Last night he hold a meet
ing at Junction in order to diacoat
the court home question that baa
been shaking Lane county to the
center, lie won t settle It, for peo
ple no longer care much what be
siys on any subject."
The Journal is respectfully in
formed that the "court house ques
tion" is not "shaking Lane county
to the cen'er." Apart from a few
malcontents, who are chronio ob
jectors, the people of Lane county
loyally stand by the commissiouers
court in its work of building i
suitable structure for coun'y pur
poses. That a few wind bsgs, like
Driver, take advantage of the op
portunity to make themselves
beard in private and public is to be
expected. Their palaver is of the
"tempest In a teapot" order.
While a few respectable citizens
of Junction and Cottage Grove may
oppose thebai Iding of a courthouse
in the vain hope of future county
division we do not believe there is
any division of sentiment in sny
portion of the county as to the
necessity of the work now in
progress. Men with any experience
kn3v that the old boildirtjand ac
commodations are entirely inade
quate for county purposes, and un
suitable for present conditions,
The tearing down of the rotten
stone work that surrounded the re
cord vault demonstrated that the
valuable oounty records had been
kept in a very insecure place. The
removil of the court house and the
rebuilding of the vault stone work
have at least placed ' the county
records in a safe receptacle.
FAVORS ANNEXATION.
Senator John T Morgan, who
has spent some time looking over
the situation at Hawaii, comes to
the conclusion that the island
should be annexed to the United
States. He says:
"Under the government of our
republio, Hawaii will soon gain a
strong and dense population of
Americans. In the breadth, am
plitude and wealth of our conti
nental possessions we need no more
territory to provide for the welfare
of our people, even when our popu

"The dayof atonement was in
stituted for that purpose to give
man the opportunity to reckon and
become reconciled with his maker;
not in the sense as Christianity
conceives it: J. e., through a media
tor; but man being the child of
Qod, must personally approach his
father in heaven and crave his par
don. This is the Jewish idea and
teaching of the 'Kippur day. It
cannot be viewed otherwise in the
light of Jewish history. Its earl-
est observance was not intended for
any other purpose. The idea took
root in the mind of people, and a
of monopoly; that is the real and
vicious principle of monarchy. W
