Services were held in the morn- ing in the different synagogues, with the exception of Temple Emanu-El, and throughout the afternoon calls were ex- changed. In the synagogues the chief feature out of the ordinary was the blowing of the ram’s horn or shophar. This is usually a feature of the first day’'s celebration, but as the New Year fell on the Sabbath day it was post- poned until yesterday. The reformed Jews celebrate but one day and Rabbi Voorsanger of Temple Emanu-El,- as has been his custom, preached yesterday to the Congregation Beth-Israel in the Geary street syna- gogue. Dr. Voorsanger's subject was “Where Art Thou?” He said in part: Our meeting is an emphasis ‘of our bellef in a supreme God, We deem ourselves mem- bers of the great fraternity that has weaned the pugan world of its observations and has brouzht the principles of a pure faith within | the reach of the nations of earth. We ac- knowledge tho cail of God upon us. We make solemn proclamation that he is our king and ruler and that there is no power on earth that can induce us to compromise the solemn e have Inherited, for the reason that to gl Turk as well as to the Jew s have become the historic witnesses onversion of the werld to the sover- ¢ the livinz God. union of Israel and God ifes one of the world's greatest historical motives.

Our political history 15 one of vicis- situdes: our soclal history one of scattering and the constant removal of tents and homes, but our spiritual history is bright, exaiting, a page of the world's records that has no equal. At the Bush'street synagogue Rabbi Kaplan addressed a large audience. His subject was ‘““Lest We Forget.” He referred particularly to the ideals of the day, saying in part: In the study of Jewish history we are im- ]| pressed with one great fact. The highest aim of Moses, the greatest man in the history of Israel, was to make Isracl the greatest spirit- ual and ethical people. He t to. lsrael forever as living witness of God. In sucred literature the Jews are called witnesses of God. Erederick the Great, who was under the skeptical influence of Volta’re, at one time sald to his chaplain: “You talk all the time of God and religion. Can you prove the existenco of God?' Th~ reply was: “Thc existence of the Jew proves the existence of In order that they might be a great spirit- ual people, Moses cxhorted the Jews to strive forever nfter eternal ideals of purity, fustice and charity. A nation is exalted only by Tighteousness and perpetuated by the ideals of purity and justice. — e YOSEMITE VALLEY. Reduced Round Trip Rates by South- ern Pacifie.

United States Senator Perkins has been the promulgator of many a clever coup for California, not the least of which was the timely suggestion made |. to the Pioneer Women at their annual reception, that as the space allotted to each State in Statuary Hall at Washington has not yet been claimed by California, the Pioneer Women take immediate steps toward filling the two niches. For that suggestion, publicly made, Senator Perkins, here's | to you! Before the words were cold Mrs. Anna MclIntyre, the president; Mrs. | Louise Shepheard Chase, and other interested Pioneer =~ Women had gleaned from the Senator every de- ! tail of procedure in the matter, and ' the mails a few days thereafter bore to Washington a request for the pa- pers necessary to begin preceedings.| These state papers are now en route to California, and thus will the way soon be open for the queen State of the West to present to the hall of fame her two most famous sons. ! The strange apathy of Californians in this matter has always been a sub- ject of marvel to those who have strayed through Statuary Hall, and many sporadic discussions of it have | been heard. In fact, nearly two years ago, in the California Promotion Com mittee’s rooms, a sub-committee of the | California Landmarks League held 2 ' meeting, with Rufus P. Jennings, Jo- seph R. Knowland, J. J. Lermen and the secretary of the league present, at which this matter was vigorously discussed. But there was at that time much for the league to do and the | matter was dropped temporarily. TAKEN UP AS SOLE OBJECT. But now that some one organization | has singled out this duty, specialized | on this one phase of activity, success will follow. ~And what body is more | fit to carry out this work than the Pioneer ~Women—they who tadled | sturliily to shape the destiny of the ! | State? Now comes the all important qugs tion—whose memories shall be perpet vated in the silent hall?—Shall they | be men of peace or men of war, men of the soll or men of letters, men of the pastoral days or men of the stars and stripes? Ah! there is the question ; —in fact, two questions, because ther are to be two statues. Now the logical thing to do will be ! to appoint a committee of men and women familiar with the several| epochs of Californian nistory, begin- | ning with the landing of Fra Junipero | Serra at San Diego in 1763, to the pres- | ent day—although a hero seldom | sprouts a halo till he's a long time! dead. However, the review of the| drama should be made from beginning to end and made on broad lines, elim- | inating religion, race and politics, and basing the choice solely upon the char- | acter of man, his worth as a national | ideal and his direct infiuence upon the | State. There are some historians who would g0 back to Sebastian Viscaino—he who ! landed at San Diego and Monterey in 1602, pausing some days in each port, | ~where religious services were held by two Carmelite friars. While it is true that it was Viscaino's description of | the country that guided Junipero Serra 160 years later, still the early voyager left no direct influence upon the coun- try, save this diary. Therefore, it would fg:qm logical to “open the entries” in SERRA WORTHY OF PLACE. Right in the opening chapter of the great California drama the seraphic face of Junipero Serra rises above the | mists of time. In all the pages of his-| tory there are few such types as he, combining in his great soul the quali- ties of courage, zeal, energy, faith, ab- negation, joyousness of heart, love of | mankind and absolute and unswerving | devotion to duty expressed in his lov- ing allegiance to his Maker. The occupation of Alta California was | the direct result of the ceaseless plead- ings of Junipero Serra before Carlos 1I1. Won by his eloquence and zeal, the | King empowered the monk to enter the unknown land and to take the country in the “name of God and the King,” thus directly influencing the political complexion of the country. Soon after the periloys voyage to San Diego Serra dispatched Gaspar de Portola north- ward with a band of soldiers to find the bay of Monterey. How the wan- derers nassed it without recognition and going farther north discovered the great bay of San Francisco is an old, old story—another triumph of Serra's band. The founding of the missions of San Diego de Alcala, San Carlos de Borro- meo, San Antonio de Padua, San Ga- briel Archangel, San.Luis Obispo, San Francisco de Asis, San Juan Capistra- no, Santa Clara, San Buenaventura and the presidio of Santa Barbara were likewise the direct results of Serra's labors as he journeyed from San Diego to San Francisco twice or thrice a year to visit his loved neophyte children. Thus have we a spiritual and moral ideal in the brown-robed monk, and a visual, physical influence upon the his- tory of the West—the first white leader to come into the wilderness, where he labored lovingly until the angel of death stilled his voice and laid him to rest in his beloved Carmel. OTHER NAMES MENTIONED. Now. as to the other name to be hon- ored, Starr Xing is mentioned, likewise Leland Stanford, James Lick, James Marshall, General John Sutter, Colonet Baker and hosts of others of later date —and no doubt the list will grow with the proverbial galtfgmlu. virility. - I i Apropes to Junipero- Serra, Monterey has announced to the visitors therein the name of the founder of California as Fumpero Serra. 'Tis so writ on the white cross that marks the spot where he landed in the surf in 1770. Ye gods! Is there no one in Monterey who can spell and prln£1 . The clubs open with fine precision this week.

Bradford Leavitt Dis- cusses Bishop Potter’s Stand on Saloon Questioui NEEDS CAREFUL STUDY Says What May Be Good for One Is Bad for Others and All Have Failings “The Bishop and the Saloon,” a sub- ject which has evoked volumes of com- ment from press and pulpit since Bish- op Potter dedicated the Subway saloon | in New York, was the theme discussed | yesterday morning by the Rev. Brad- | ford Leavitt at the. First Unitarian | Church. Dr. Leavitt, while not express- ing an abiding faith in saloons as a civilizing influence, dealt rather se-| verely with the critics of the Bishop. He said in part: The fact that a Bishop should assist in the formal” opening of such a place has shocked many good people, and it is clear that the | great majority of clergymen and church lead- | ers in this country are utterly out of sym- pathy with efforts to Christianize the saloon. The newspapers are divided in their opinions. Of course those who believe all drinking is wrong have nothing but disapproval of the ¢ But there are a good many other people f alert conscience who do not share this conviction. Bishop Potter believes saloons are | here to stay, that they cannot be got rid of, | and that the next thing to do is to make the bad saloon a good saloon. Personally I do, not belleve the thing can be dome. I do not believe there can be such a thing as a “'good saloon.”” I do believe a youth or a man could get drunk at the Bishop's bar as well as al any other bar. And yet I would not join the | huz and cry rased by fanatical men and women who are not. worthy to stand in the | good Bishop's shadow, and who have never donated a tithe of the time and study to this | great problem that he has. Bishop Potter has ' lived in the slums all through a hot summer, | and has devoted years of study to thls whole | matter of temperance. It seems to me the | part of wisdom to wait and see how the ex- | periment will turn out. | There are some persons who think they know befter than others how to live, and they | waste valuable time trying to make others live thelr way. Now, we have no right to com- pel others to live our way. What is meat for | ne man may be polson for another. Thou- ands are harmed by the misuse of tobacco and alcohol who have not the pluck to give them up. There are those who-insist that be- I cause misuse of these things harms others, no cne should use them. In a word, you must | rot marry, because the man who is too poor to marry is tempted. You must not drink te, | ecause It excites that hysterical person, or | coffee, because it congests the brain of that bilious one. You must mot use cards ur bil- | jards; you must not play, because some, if they play, play too hard, and you must not work, becaure some men work foo hard. In- deed, there never -was a cleaner example of the argument “‘ad absurdum’ than this theory, which always has St. Paul's ‘‘wherefore if meat make my brother stumble I will eat nc flesh while the world standeth” tacked on it, as if this passage from that soldier of Christ had anything to do with the matter. _ It is not meat, but gormandizing thaf ruins the weak brother, it is net drinking but guz- sling. Almost everything we put in “our mouths may be taken as a food or as a stimu- lant. Intemperance i§ never to be stopped, efther by law—which is the prohibition remedy —or by the non-use of what may not be rmful when not abused. Then we must re- member tbat to the laboring man alcohol sup- | plies something which others get In other | ways and will not go without. Asking him | to give it up is like asking the well-to-do not to go to the theater or concerts, not to read | novels or go to evening parties, but te sit at | home reading religlous books. That is, it lifts him for a moment into another world, where | things seem brighter and more beautiful, There are mamy things we can all do for temperance; we can offer every facility for | education, ' for cleanliness, for well-cookel | food (many children get a taste of alcohol in | the sour bread they eat), for well ventilated | dwellings, fcr wholesome amusement. do not believe every form of alcohol is a poison from hell, but I do believe the saloon door, wherever found, is =n entrance way to perdi- tion. It is these fermented loafing places that tempt men and destroy them. There are men smokinz or chewing them- sclves to death and eating themselves into | dyspepeta, and women drinking themselves | billous with coffee and hysterical with tea, who ' yet claim the name ‘temperance.” We have not yet learned the alphabet of success in deal- | ing With this matter. It is the men we must change, ‘and we must | do that by cractical methods. What 1 am | most anxlous about is that those who so believe in total abstinence should not feel that s all that can be done, and that those | who do not believe In it should not therefore | think they can do nothing. You may not be | able to believe these things are poisons, and | yet be sure the use of them Is a graat deal too common, rnd that the best thing is to let them aione. Take your stand for a manliér, purer sim- plicity in living, not in this thing only, but all through. 1 tell you the heart of modern Iifn is being eaten oft of it by all this display and catering to self-induigence and measure- luxury. There is an immense deal to be done. Have the laws obeyed, prevent men from making a xain and profit out of vice. take your part In the struggle, and let it be the intelligent and fearless part of Christian citizers, — e - MEXICANS TO CELEBRATE DAY OF INDEPENDENCE Excellent Musical Programme Is Ar- ranged and Well-Known Men Will Deliver Addresses. : The ninety-fourth anniversary of | the independence of Mexico will be appropriately celebrated in Eintracht | Hall on Friday evening.
