If some i'inter prising dtfme museum could cge these monstrosities a* ?1 exhibit tnem it woald reap a rich harvest for a short time. We predict that Taft and Teddy will fall out in less than six months rflter Taft heenmhs President.

Presidential messages, public ad dressee ipd pulpit discourses would in many cases be far more effective if they wi re shorter. However, great thefr merit and however con rvJinoing till? argumJen(ts presented power is lost by prolixity. The sending of Gompers and other labor readers to jail for advising ttiiir followers not to buv a cer tain stovo or range by a Republican judge on the pretext of contempt of court- jihows the great love of the Re- \ publican party for the laboring man. The world is gradully b<-ing r^ f-re " s" process would go on much faster if every man would begin with himself and not wait for the next man to make a start. It is so^easy to see what others should do and 1 ally so difficult to" see our own dury. The interminable legal technicali ties bid fair to make the suit of the governnvn* againist the Standard Oil Company last as long as the cel ?hbrated ease of Jarndyce ar.d Jarndyce in Dicken's "Bleak House." In the mean time the price of ker- j osene, gasoline and the various by- j l?*p?'Jt't? keeps, up and the quarterly dividends show not reduction.

The World's Great Festival. Christaras is really the world's festival?lavery tribe and people upon the earth's surface observe it in some form. The forms may vary but the spirit is everywher/e the* same.v The ddftlarent nations of th? world celebrate the virtues and il lustrious deedis of their great man and we on this*-idt. of che water do the same when we celebrate the birth of'Washington- in February, or the birth of the natibn in July, bot ?in December the world celebrates an event which far surpass*- the birth day of Washington, or Wellington, or Napol ?on jr Alexander the Credit, or. even the birth of a nation. It ?s 'the birth of the world's Redeem er, who was given as an atone ment for^in.; , V At this time of the yjclar the fairh of Wtitle ? children is strongly emphasized Throughout rthe wori i of Chriskendoni childhood is looking to that mysterious individual Sant>? QIaus for the bestowal of his annual favor. Implicitly the litlle ones be Have in his exlstance and in his beneficence and from every letter box in the country missives to him j*re, Urustingly dia?atcHed. Not a fe.v of them are most pathetic. Is not all faith typical of this chll! hood faith, and arte not the rewards of it similar to these? Some how, it is a pant of our nature and few there be who can live very go ?d without it. Who would take away the faith that a child has in this myst-? rious personage. Santa Claus, myth though be W?, and who wo'ild take from weak- and frail humanity that larger sweeter trust in the eternal goodness? 4 Dear reader of The Times and Teraocrat it i- our privilege ro again greet you wdtfc a "Merry Christmas." W?. 'have continued our work until this, time, and here we are again Yet it is from no selfish motives, Ve assure you, or ambition for great ltlmc!umen!fcs that we "have continued . our. work, or shall continue it, but onfy with the desire to" earn our ^read and m^at and do gobd.k('p^r adventure to brighten soirrfe life, encourage some despondent one,' drop a few brief words of truth to drive error from the heart, and pos: .ihly to lead somla one to "choose that better part" that might not cJfherwtiee have done so. How wt-11 we have succeeded, you, reader, wi? have to declare. We are admonish ed to "aow beside all watarb\. know ing not which shall prosper, this or that." The Times, and . Democrat -Ts entered twice ievery weejv thous ands of. home circles, the most sn ored precincts in the world, and if it has made any home or any heart ' Tighter beca.isfe of its coming, we have been rewarded for our labor Mid" trouble of- the past year.. W e j again wisih one and all .a-"Merry j Chriiitmus." - > ?, There Is Only One Remedy, In most countries that:have rep resentative government it is a? prob lem how to make the second chamb er more responsive to the public will. This Us particularly the case just now jn Great Britain, where the House of Lords, which is a non-eleotive body 'representing the peerage, is notoriously out of touch with thf p:tople. The need of some reform is so great that even the Lords them 1 leives admit it and- recently appoint ed a committee to suggest ? plan of reform. The plan has just been pre isented and some radical suggestions h&vtt been made. But it te doubt ful if they will be put Into effect, L> in England, as elsewhere , special interests hold on to their position as long as possible. The reform will have to come from wSbhout, but how and to what extent,is the ques tion. Sooner or later, in our opinion, the English House of Lords wd'11 be abolished and in its place wtill be established a body similar to our Senate, but elected direct by the people. Our . Senate as now constituted and elected may be put ?<1 the same class with the present English House of Lords,, and it, too. should be reformed.. The members should be elected directly by the people. Tins is the only remedy we can see for the troubles that con front us and England in reference ?the second legislative bodies. Human Life Cheap. Thnt human life is cheaply .held in this land is abundantly seen, but the most startling revidence ts found the statistics of railroad and min im? accidents. Making full allow ance that railroading and mining are naturally hazardous occupations, and allowing also for the careless ness of many workers, the fact re mains that adequate precautions are not takirm to safeguard human life! Tu both occupations the number qf ' "' ' and wounded each yea." ?air exceeds, both actually and rel atively, the casualtlf-s of any Euro >enn country, this excess being from w ph'l a half to three times as many. The one and only rhine: *? -eme-u- such condition is to put the =*erodnese of human life above the dividends on stocks. But that will ?'ovor-be done as long as the dollar Is put above the man. This country v? cone crazy about commercialism ?s vas shown in the last Presidtntlai ?Mention, and urvtil wVi awaken from '?"+ Worried nightmaTe, we may ex "ot li91 to get cheaper still. What is the difference, if by sacrifH ??? n- ftyvtv thousand lives some millionaires can adld a few more nillion to their holdings. We must nave progress, and if thousands ot bum an lives are sacri fiord to attain it who cares? But in the meantime human life gets cheaper and cheap The Canada Way. r>,, . ;? pn,r,^n -ipter evnry gen eral elention a large number r?t t*rotc?:ts are filed against the suc "?*s-ifnl candidates. An ej-tction was recently held and in the province ' ?r Qiu'her no Ifps th.tf p,-,.. - r ?.. | have bpen entjired, and in the other ! '?rovinoes, similar action has "'s - 1 -?rn ^V-on in many inptances. When | the protestla are all filed the game of "sawing off" bhgins. This consists in the agents of one party propos ing to the other party to drop any given number of suite provided the other party does:, the same. It is a vicious practice condemned by right thinking people because in many oases tihe protests atfs frivolous and only made for the trading off purpose, while in others the ends of justice are defeated and corrup tion condoned. Canada politicians 3ii1?i behind the times. They ought to take a lesson or two from our Teddy and other expert campaign fund extractors.; Then they could raise money enough to. buy up the elec tion and choke off all contests. Grafters and Bribers. That a notorious grafter and brib er in San Francisco has been found gui'Lty 1s cause far satisfaction and goes a long way towards purifying the political i^tmosp^ere. of "that city. San Francisco, like many another large duty, has for years been in the grasp of political bosses and ward politicians. The only way >-t<op such lefvils is by constantly using every legitimate means to bring tihe guilty ones to justice. It is generally uphill work and often a thankless pne, but it must be dote if oomniunttiies are to be honestly and efficiently governed and their reproach wiped out. The good worn sttarted in San Francisco should ex tend to ofchlar large cities that are 1n the grasp of the .gratters and bribers. Caught Once Before. When Teddy Roosevelt, the man who disgraces (the high office he holds, gets cornered in any of his rascality, he tries to bluff the pub-? lie by calling the people who corner him liars and other harsh names. It will be remembered how he fooled the public by vehemently denying the charge made by Judge. Parker in 1904 that the trust and big corop rations were backing Mr. Rooseve't's candidacy with /their money bv financing his campaign. He-abused Judge Parker then the same as he he Is abusing Mr. Pulitzer now, and* Judge Parker's charge was lost sight of, until the testimony in the Insurance cases and the "My Har riman" letters established the fact that Judge Parker was telling the exact truth. Now Mr.' Roosevelt doubtless im agines that If he denounces Mr. Pulitzer as a liar, and threatens to use the whole power of the United States to crush him and The WorH that he will put a stop to his de mand to know who shared in the Panama canal deal, but we believe that this is one time when Mr. Roose velt's bluff will be called. Henry Watterson gives Pulitzer some good advice. He says: "Skin your eyes and your eye teeth, old man; don't let them ever catch a weasel asleep; and don't send any boys to mill. To run down a red fox like Cromwell, to circumvent ? flea in a skillet' like Roosevelt is man's work, not child's play; and, if you are not resolved to strip to it, you had best call off the dogs and go gallumphing home." The Charleston Post seems to think that Mr. Pulitzer has let' Mr. Roosevelt scare him and is seeking cover. It says "The World has not fortified its position at all, nor pm sented any front of knowledge about the nfystery of Panama. If it had giver/ a sign Mr. Roosevelt would doubtless have been more cautions. But he seems to have taken \ its measure, and probably he can drive It to cover, and if The World raus away and its representations are dis credited, who Is going to press the questions about the Panama canal? Mr. Roosevelt is using excellent strategy. Seeing there is to be a fight he becomes the aggressor, and he may scare the enemy from his citadel. "I wish' to make as clear as pos sible the statement that we did not have anything to do with the dis tribution of a dollar of the forty million dollars we paid, as regards any stockholder or bondholder of the French companies, except in so far as following the awards of the ar bitrator appointed by the French courts to proportion the sum between the old and the new French com panies. That is something more than the. President admitcd in his diatribe against Mr. Delavan Smith, and it may also be taken as a dis claimer in advance of responsibili ty for anything wrong that may be discovered in the future. Mr. Rouse velt is frothing at the mouth, but he has his eye on the game, just the same." The Christmas chimes are peal iug, BOltly pealing; thlei joyous sounds are ringing,"ever lo'uder and clearer, nearer and nearer, like a sweet toned benediction falling on the ear. Clad ringers are pulling the ropes, and in one grand swell of melody Christmas with its old. yet ever rijw and marvelous mys teries, borsts triuni.h?r.tly on the earth once mo?e. Bankrupt Notice.
