THE t'IIBISTVAH EVE CANDIE 'i'll? ? i-t- ls un old custom, and a beau lit ul one, to.i. origlnuMng probably with il 9 French pioneers, of placing n s' igle, tall, white wax candle in a window on Christinas Eve, l?ttlng it j illira all through the night to "light j the Christ-child coming down to earth." Th? custom, we understand, ij kept nj) in Home parts of the coun try, and there appears to be a grow ing sentiment to entourage the prac tice in parts of the country where it hus been unknown. > .'o would like to see th? old cus tom revived and the observance of it mad.' general. It would help the chil dren to remember that Christmas ls not ai) getting und giving of material presents, but that it is the birthday of one who loved them, one whose uwectness of spirit they m iy well try to learn. A (.OLDEN OPPORTUNITY. One of tlie most Important Besslonr over faCcd bv nongrer-s hts lust on-su ed. Following his custom, President Wilson read from the speaker's Eland to the assembled legislators a mos aic brimming with Important recom mendations. It matters not whether Individually or as party measures we agree or disagree with the president on preparedness, the Mexican situa tion, thc method of raising additional revenue or on uny of tho other ques tions taken up in his messuge, we all must agree that the country stiiidB now on the eve of tho greatest pros perity lt has evor Boen and legisla tion should bo pnsscd which will help instead of retarding or lessoning that prosperity. It ls, for Instance, a tr? im'iidoualy Important matter that bus inoF-a bo lot alone to grasp Its oppor tunity. Wo have passed through a period ot muckraking and restric tivo legislation which has, perhaps, been of benefit in making business moro human. Wo have put a heart into tho corporations oven ' though they moy still bo soulless. But in doing so we came perilously r ?ir to destroying thom altogether. It is cer tain that mai y bills will be mtro duccd at the present session of con gross which will effect business in terests. Those should be passed which will help business to overcome tho depression of tho past years and go onward and upward. Those which would further restrict business ope ration should be killed without mercy. Thin is no time for the passage of radica] Jeglsl?tl?n regiit'diesp of the , apparent demand' f?'r(j^?^fj[rganlza tloits whien are demanding certain legislation are noted for tho noise they mc-AO because ot tho effect a noisy demand has upon- legislators. These-' organizations!/.should ^\>a, sup I reused altogether, and, If not, for the time I';hu: at least. The government linds k necessary to. raise hugo amounts of additional revenue. To make-Dili successful, the 'president recommends that no present sources of revenue be. tampered with. Legis lation uga! lint existing Industries will directly oppose tho president's rec emmc-ndmion. THE ON E-SCHOLAH SCHOOL Ilnlph Jackson, who attends a coun try school near Martins Ferry, 0., ought to he well' instructed. He ls the. only pupil in tho school. Every norning he trudgen to tho school house, and lg assomblod and brought to t-rdnr by Edward E. Long, tho teacher, and goes through all the uauul course of study and recitations, and lies his recesses and noon hour, and tk?n ?n?s home altor having en joyed-cr suffered-tho teacher's un divided attention for thc day. In a way. lt's an Ideal plan of odu-? cation, lt suggests' the system rec ommended by Jean. Jacques 'Rousseau, Hie gront French educational reform er. HU idea was that each' child should have a tutor who devoted him-, self wholly to that child until Vits maturity. Americans; however,' are not likely lb take to the idea very, readily, ' ti would'nt appeal to tho av crag'* teacher to givo' air his limo to one pupil. ' And certainly itv wouldn't appeal' to ; the average tax-payer to provide, .a separata teacher for every child. and'perhaps a separate school-: house, too. .. resides.

The engi neers want brighter headlights on their locomotives, to show tile track far ahead The officials oppose them, insisting thar gluring headlights arc ;i came o' danger on the railroad?, just glaring automobile lamps arc on city streets, because they blind and confuse people and animals on the truck. !t ls suggested as an alternative that th" tracks themselves be lllumi naiud. so that the locomotive need carr) only a dim light, or non?, ut all. The plati may be objected to JS need lessly expensive, except on stretches of track where truffle ls particularly hen y in thickly settled communities. lt is by no means necessary, how ever, that the tracks should ba con tinuously illuminated. If they were wiied with a proper switching ar rangement, the light ould be turned on automatically by approaching lo comotives, making always a quarter milo or halfmile of brightly lighted track ahoad of a traiD, and darkness cloning in behind it. That would bc a great convenience to the public au-l the train crews, and ought to pay for itisclf in tho lessening of accidents. It may be th'e railroad lighting of tho future.
