No man has testified against Dr.
Cook who has not incriminated him
self in hi3 testimony.
In nearly every instance where r
newspaper abuses Bryan the editor
ta a soft gaell Republican.
The wise man considers wherein
the old year was unprofitable to him
that he may do better in the new
year.
It is better to resolve and fall,
than never to resolve at all. This
may- be especially, applicable for new
year but it holds good any time.
y Now that the hunting season is
nearly over, the foot bail season
ended, and that of boating and bath
ing not yet arrived, life seems to
he-somewhat more secure.
The season of navigation oa the
/Greet Lakes cost 100 lives. From
<ho great number of farm hands that
operate these vessels7, they seem to
save got out of their perils Quite
etteaplr. .
What a blessed thlar-is content
ment! One man eats plain fare from
plain earthenware and is content
and happy, and another eats the
daintiest food from golden dishes
and is still unsatisfied.
it is astonishing how readily on
any pretext the prices of commodi
ties ge up and how slowly they go
down. They go up by telegraph, but
they go down with the slowness of
an old time canal boat
Those Copenhagen blockheads do
not say that Cook did not reach the
North Pole. They only say that tbe
data submitted by Cook did not
convince them that ho did so. That
may not be Cook's fault.
Most so-called scientists are hum
bugs. If you do not believe it
hunt up the records of some of the
best of them and see what foolish
things they believed and taught when
they were la the flesh.
What a merciful dispensation it
is tit at the scandals of the Astor,
(lould. Vanderbilt and other fami
lies are not publicly aired all at once.
The moral odor would oe too strong
for even a long suffering public.
'-. If In making New Year resolu
tions we would be careful to study
our individual faults and limitations,
and make such resolutions as would
tend to correct them, there would
be less failure in keeping them.
Many men seek after popularity,
especially if they are political aspi
rants. B?t the true popularity is
not that which a man consciously
strives after, but that which cornea
to him by virtue of his own charac
ter and Qualities of heart and mind.
Some people have so little sense
of proportion that they manage to
waste a lot of time, energy and
mouey on insignificant things whl^h
do not count. The same expenditure
devoted to really important things
would enrich their lifo and make It
far moro influential.
It is an old and true saying that
"all work and no play make* Jack
a dull boy." But It is also equally
true that all play and no work
makes him a useless boy, or worse.
What the boy needs In every home
and in every sphere of life is a
judicious blending of work and rec
reation.
In his admirable little book. "Tho
Dark Corner." Zach McGee tells of
a scientist who was ready to teach
that the world was arjuare or round,
as required by those who from time
to time employed his valuable serv
ices. We think that those Copen
hagen fellows are just such scien
tists, and allowed their judgment
swayed by the testimony of Barrial
and Loose, both of whom admitted
that they are not entitled to cre
dence.
Ft 19 aa hazardous to guss what
congress may or may not do in the
present session as it Is to guess
what the weather will be like six
months hence. That there are many
thiners congress ought to do for the
benefit of the people few will deny.
There are economic and political
Inequalities and abuses that have
long been waiting for solution, but
vested interests have hitherto gen

Christmas.
It was a glorious thing for the
human race, as It groped about in
darkness and supersut.on, wuen :he
angels sang on that first Christmas
morning, "Glory to God in the high
est, ana on earth peace, good will
toward man." It was the heavenly
announcement of the birth of the
Christ, the Son of Righteousness,
who. after the lone and dianial night
of sin and darkness through which
the world had passed, bursts upon
the earth dispelling the darkness A
sin, breaking the bands of s/iciea?
utss and in His light leading men
back to peace, joy and life iu God.
As Dr. Schaff says, the Chn;...ma:
festival is the celebration of the
Incarnation of the Son of God. It
occupied, therefore, with the event
which forms the centre and turning
point of the History of the World.
It Is of all festivals the one mo t
thoroughly Interwoven with the pop
ular and family life, and stands at
the head of the great feasts In the
Christian church year. All* over
Christendom It is the grand jubilee
of children, on which innumerable
gifts celebrate the Infinite love of
God for poor, fallen humanity in
the gift of His only bego*?. n Sou
It is the Christmas fearl/jl tnat
kindles In mid-winter a holy fire of
love and gratitude, and preaches In
the longest night the rising of fnj
Bun of life and the glory of the
Lord. It denotes the advent of the
true golden age, of the freedom and
equality of all the redeemed before
God and in God. No one can meas
ure the j?y and blessing whicn fit.ra
year to year flow forth upon all ages
of life from the contemplation of the
holy child Jesus la his heavenly
Innocence and divine humanity.
The churches in earlier ageu coi?
brated the death and resurrection
of Christ, but after awhile, at pre
cisely what time is not known, they
began to pay attention to his birth
and as It was the Wesr*rn church
that gave more attention to the mat
ter, they finally fixed on December
25th as the day at Christ's blr*b.
although the true ?ste Is not k ?< wn.
The Christmas festival was thus in
all probability the transference by
the Western church of several Ro
man festivals that occurred about
December 26to.
Again the Christmas festival has
come around and we all should moke
the most of it. Don't abuse it by
doing those things which are wrong
and sinful. It should be a day of
rejoicing, because it is the natal
day of the "Prince of Peace,". and
in His name we should observe it
I with gladness and Joy. To one and
all. we wish a merry, merry Chrlst
1 mas, one In which all can give their
heartfelt praises to God, the bless
ing of love and service to their fel
low travellers to 'the better world,
and peace, love and sunshine and
plenty of all this world's blessings
to. their own homes.
Make the Children Rappy.
; 3 The very name-of Christmas seems
laden with good things. There is
a ring of joy in its tone and one
can only associate It with pleasant
thoughts and fond rexjambrances.
Christmas to the child is the- bright
est star in the year's firmament, it
is the beacon light on which their
little eyes and thoughts are ever
fastened. Christmas for the aged
seems to have been set near the
door of the departing year as a foun
tain of youth, from which they might
draw a fresh supply of health and
vigor for the coming year. Christ
mas and Santa Claus go hand in
hand. They are links in one chain.
Without Santa Clauf there could
be no Christmas aLd certainly at
no other time of the year would old
Santa be allowed admittance by way
of the chimney instead of the door.
Christmas is the same this year,
last year and all the years before.
It is old, yet 'tis new. It is a
thing of the past, of the present
and wfil be of Che future until
time immemorial. Who (Is there
I among us too old to .remember the
Christmas of his childhood? Is there
one who does not locli back upon
It as the happiest day of his life?
Even now in our maturer years we
cannot help but enthuse at the ap
proach of this merry day. We find
?onjoyment In watching the happi
ness of the little ones about us and
though we may have passed the three
score years and ten, yet the merry
Christmas and Itf? fullness of joy
seems to kludle anew the flame of
life, and carry us back to the days
of our childhood.
j We are back agalu at the old
[home; we once more hang our lit
tle stocking?or larger one borrow
ed for the occasion?conveniently
near the fire-place. We reluctantly
retire to our bed where sleep has
a hard fight to master the excite
ment, attending our expectatious.
Again it is morning?the happy
Christmas morn and all aglow with
eco/tement and almost wild with
delight, we rush, half dressed, to
gaze upon tho bountiful feast which
old Santa Clans has left behind.
Let us try to make this day the
brightest page in childhood's book
of memories. Let us fill it so full
\ of happiness that the Bittie ones
[will ever delight in associating hap
' py thoughts with Christmas of
1909.
Swift Justice.
Two moral degenerates who com
mitted a revolting crime In Milwau
kee, on being captured, were tried,
sentenced to life imprisonment (as
there is no death penalty In Wiscon
sin), and Incarcerated in much less
than a week. That was well for
the men richly deserved their fate.
But the chief point Is that the speedy
trial shows that the machinery of
the law can work swiftly and ef
fectively when no attempt is made
to block it. But what if the cul
prits instead of being poor men had
been tho morally degenerate sons of
Pittsburg or some other city mil
lionaires. There would have been
innumerable delays In appeals, re
trials, and absurd technicalities of
every description. In addition the
insanity plea with its stores of hered
ity, parental influence and "brain
storms" would have been worked to
fullest extent. What is needed Is
swift and Bure justice for all crim
inals, be they rich or poor, white
or black. In no other way can the
lynching habit be stamped out. If
The Wisconsin plan is carried out all
over the sountry in a few years we
will have no more lynchings.
Christmas Thoughts.
Let us hope that the wild swirl
of Christmas gift making has not so
exhausted tbe community that we
shall not remember whose birth day
it is. In spite of the trading and
anxiety of gift making among some,
the day is not likely to grow lees
significant to the race. A day not
ing the closest union ever known
between divine and human will be
come more and more as the years
slip by. According to the poet, the
intimations of immortality both for
the individual and the race grow
fainter as one approaches maturity.
"Shades of the prison house close
about the growing boy." And yet
we cannot believe it will ever be
thus* Just now the world is dulled
by the engrossments of an age of
material triumph. Some day the
mists of money and competition and
selfish pleasure will roll away and
let us see the pure stars of spir
itual hope. Then shall we see that
all these material and fleshly incite
ments are after all but the veil sep
arating us from the unseen, the true
.^reality. Then will Christmas .be
the one golden day of all the year.
Home Rule in Sight.
Ireland evidently stands to win
in the present political crisis in
Great Britain. The straightforward,
clear cut promise of tbe premier that
the liberal government if sustained
in the coming elections, will pre
sent a bill for complete home rule,
brings the goal plainly into sight
When Gladstone introduced his home
rule bills in 1888 and 18H he was
clearly in advance of public senti
ment in England . But since then
not only the liberal party but also
the whole country has been educated
up to the point ef granting home
rule. This principle of devolution
once successfully introduced will
probably be extended until England
and Scotland, and perhaps, Wales,
will each have its local parliament
This shows the rapid spread of the
true Democratic spirit in England
It will not be many decades before
that country will overthrow the
monarchy and elect its own raters.
The recent foolish action ef the
House of Lords in rejecting the
budget as proposed by the House ef
Commons only hastens the downfall
of the monarchy as wail as itself.
Fight to ? Finish.
The parliamentary struggle Is
England is naturally watched with
deep interest in this, country because
the principle at stake is the same
that led to the revolt of the thirteen
colonies from ..Great Britain?tbe
principle of no taxation without rep
resentation. The lords, which rep
resents no one, want to dictate what
taxes shall be raised and the method
of raising them; while the commons,
as the direct representatives of the
people, assert that by virtue of that
position they alone have tho right
to impose and collect the taxes, in
such a contest tbe sympathies of
Americana are naturally w^cn the
commons, who. In our opinion, are
bound to wit which means the be
ginning of tne end with the lords.
The people of England have, long
wanted an excuse to abolish tne
House of Lords, and they will not
fail te Improve the present oppor
tunity.
Will Not Be HekL
That a righteous public sentiment
can make Itself felt against evils
when it is sufficiently awakened Is
seen in tbe decision of Mayor Busse
of Chicago, in response to ?pubie
demand, to prohibit the first ward
ball of that elty. That function la
all past has been notorious for its
flaunting and promotion of vice.
For years its promoters Impudently
and successfully defined law and or
der and public opinion. That at last
they have had to bow before the
storm of righteous indignation ought
to encourage right minded people
to persevere in their efforts to pro
mote decency.
