THE CHRISTMAS SPREE
It would be a great thing for all or
us to become thoroughly drunk at this
season of the year: ? literally "soused"
,on Imbibing to unlimited indulgence
^ in- the Christmas Spirit. It is the one
Hsnit debauch that is not attended
?with the morning after headache, it
Ha inebriation without the subsequent
? mental distress of alcoholic excesses.
P it Is Intoxication without the physical
* prostration that accompanies .'the Jug
JV. It Is the "boozeless" dissipation
?" that brings Joy to those who give and
happiness to those who receive. It is
an exhlleration. you can experience
wlthont money as well as with it. It is
nothing more than giving free rein to
the God Implanted impulse in every
. human being to do something to make
Other people happy. Once the true
Christmas Spirit grips the miser It
?mafres him liberal, as it did "Old
Scrooge." It softens the heart of the
hard and the grasping. It brings gen
tleness to the gruff and overbearing.
It lights up dull eyes and sweetens
?our dispositions. It uplifts the most I
despondent sonl, inspires hope in the
hopeless, comforts the sick. It brings
solace to old age, and imparts a new
lightness to youthful steps. It exalts,
it ennobles and transfigures all who
partake freely of its humanizing
draughts.
There are so many ways of exempli
* tying the Christmas Spirit that Jt ie
open to the indulgence of all. It is
one of the things money cannot buy.
It does not go with the costliest pres
ent but comes from the humblest
heart. It can dwell in the home of lux
ury as well as radiate in the most I
modest lodging place. It is the priv- 1
ilege of the lowest as well as the high
est, It is above rank, royalty or any
earthly distinctions ? for it was born
in a stable. It graces humility as well
as power. It blesses the rich as well
^_a8 the poor, makes this poor old world
go. round with gladness and gives ra
diant vision to sightless souls. Drinfc
deep of It, and never sober up, for
It's a "Jag" you can carry all the year
round without waiting for the periodi
cal spree.
THE REINCARNATED
A few of the self-righteous, who
. dally look ufci from common earth and
thank God they are not as other mor
tals are, met in New York the other
day and resolved to "keep alive" the
Progressive party. Matthew Hale, of
Boston, seems to be the chief pnlmotor
.of -the scheme, and he starts off well
by declaring that none but the elect
shall have a share in reviving the
corpse. Roosevelt and Perkins are
among those who have been cast Into
outer darkness, and automatic excom
munication will be the fate of anyone
who dares oppose "the perpetuation
of the Progressive party." All Who
worship in this reordained communion
most be verified "angels of light." The
anointed have said it .1
How seriously some men take them
selves. How utterly unbelievable Is
the vanity of the self-appointed re
formers of this poor, wicked world.
Come with us, they beckon, and tlxou
?halt be saved from- political perdition
and from the extremities of the for
ever lost who do nothing but wail and?
gnash their teeth. Really the "Three
Tailor's of Tooley Street" are remin
iscent of a prevailing combination
compared with the reincarnated ego
tism of these cosmic comicalities. And
. what a pity it is when we look back
and ponder the awful fate that over
took Sodom and Gomorrah. If Mat
thew Hale and his holy dozen had
lived then the sacred writings would
. have been spared the chronicle of the
disaster that befell those two frivo
lous cities of the plain. And woe unto
us when our unhappy day comes, and
H&le as Lot shall turn his back on us
and never, never once look back on
our enveloping punishments.
THE PEACE OF EUROPE
When Germany first announced her
offers of peace it was proclaimed by
some that It was a great stroke of di
plomacy. because it put the onus or
the continuation of the frightful con
flict on the entente allies if they re
fused to consider Germany's proposals.
We cannot see the lo^lc of such a con
clusion, because, so far, Germany has
made no representation of the condi
tions under which she would accept
peace. As the situation stands today
Germany has merely suggested a con
ference at which probable terms and
conditions would be discussed. The
?Hies have not refused to confer, and
rntil they do refuse no responsibility
JJATIOWAI. SSZTOBIAXi SXBVICE OF THE erKEXX.X2ra INT13Z.X.IOrirCEK
CHOOSE THE HARD JOG
. It Is That Which Summons Our Greatest Powers.
BY CHARLES F. THWING, LL. D.
President of "Western Reserve University.
A friend, a graduate of a college for
girls, has recently taken a place. as |
teacher .in a .mountain missionary J
school. The school is remote from
the influence and the environment of I
such a city as the one in which is her I
home. The work is one ot' responsl-|
bility, constant and exhausting. Fori
it : she receives practically no pay
more than her board and room. In
fact, she is rather a contributor to its
budget. "I cannot see why Julia takes
that place when she might be a
teacher in a school, on the Hudson,"
said her mother the' other day.
A recent number of "Punch" has a
cartoon picturing Mr. Punch himself I
and a trawler skipper, who is about to !
set sail on a dangerous quest in the !
North Sea. "Risky work, isn't it?" i
says Mr. Punch. The trawler skipper
replies: "That's why there's a hun- i
dred thousand of us doing it!"
.'The answer of the skipper contains ;
the essence of the mother's question. 1
It is the simple truth of preferring the |
hard job, of choosing the risky work,
of willing the impossible.
Mr. Booker T. Washington said to
me not long before his death: "It is a
might good thing for a man to have
?an awfully hard =3ob!"
.The hard job has certain advan
tages. It is the job which summons
our greatest power. It calls out im
mediate energy. It demands steady
ing force. It also creates force, as
well as summons it. * It not only dis
covers to us resources which we never
"discovered ourselves, but it also
makes and develops and disciplines
these resources. It overcomes intel
lectual and physical apathy. It helps
us to find our second wind. It un
covers talents which we have hidden
in the napkin.
The hard job is also the most in
for a prolongation of this appalling
war can be justly "shifted to them
There is no definite hope of early
peace in what Germany has proposed,
no more than there is in reading the
temper of the allies by tbe spirit or .
their reception of the proposed peace
conference. The only thing that will
give peace to Europe will be conces- j
sions from both sides, and which neith- 1
er side is at present disposed to j
make. The intimation that the restor
ation of the status quo before the war
would be the chief demand of Germany
is of inconceivable acceptability to the
entente allies. Nor is Germany likely
to agree to'any of the exactions that
are pretty clearly defined in the
minds of her antagonists.
There can be no permanent peace in
Europe unless the causes which pro
voked the awful cataclysm have been
removed. A peace gained on any oth
er basis would in effect be but an arm
istice which might lead to a still great
er conflagration, and it would be a war
that the rest of the civilized world
would not, could not stand for. And so
the present prospect seems to be a
fight to a finish ? of one or the other
of the belligerents.
The Hon. Ellhu Root is more consist
ent in denouncing Belgian deportations
than he is opposing woman suffrage.
VILLA'S PRESUMPTION
It seems that the reported offer ol
peace terms by Villa, and which was
considered too ridiculous by the ad
ministration to be given a serious
thought, much less any official consid
eration, turns out to be a reality, pre
sumptuous though it-appears. But why
should the administration affect the
aloof spirit with regard to any other
treatment of Villa except that to be
dealt out to the common outlaw? who
was it that encouraged him, not only
by letting him obtain arms and ammu
nition, but at one time seriously en
tertained the idea of recognizing him
as a responsible person to be treated
with through diplomatic channels in
preference to General Carranza? That
was President Wilson's , inclination at
a critical period in our relations with
Mexico, openly intimated to members
of a Senate committee with whom he
was in consultation.
If there is anything preposterous in
kPancho Villa's present presumption It
is nothing more than the logical out
come of the equally preposterous and
contradictory policy that has been pur
sued by President Wilson in "keeping
us out of war." The Villa paradox
has nothing on the Wilson vagaries.
Of course it is ridiculous to think or
treating Villa in any other light than
a marauding bandit, after the affair at
Columbus, New Mexico, but at the
same time it is humiliating to reflect
that this great nation was put in a
position to create the presumption that
has been exercised by this peon swash
buckler, whose alleged patriotism rises
no higher than loot, pillage and out
rage.
Restoring: the status quo before the
war does not me.in anything: to the
widows and orphans of Europe.
? UNJUST &ISCKIMINATION
The Post-office Department under
its present head is" run entirely on the
principle of party politics. This l>a
ture of Its administration was pro
nouncedly prominent in the late cam
paign. It is has been guilty of some
very picayunish acts, but none so
small as that of refusing to accept the
services of a woman rural carrier In
Minnesota who. had qualified for the
position. This was a case where the
widow of a rural, carrier passed the
required examination for appointment
to the vacancy caused by the death ot
her husband, but was ruled out by the
Postoffice Department on the ground
that the services of a woman could not
be accepted. Women serve as post
masters. Why not as rural mail car
riers?
It is presumed that the only objor
tion the Postmaster General had to |
teresting job. The easy work is in
I peril of being commonplace. The
j usual work and service, like common
I place people, are liable to be dull, un- 1
I inspiring, stupid, stupefying. It rep- j
resents the prairie level, the ordinary ,
note in life's common song, the mono- j
tone in life's experiences. The un- !
usual, the hard, the impossible, quick-:
ens the intellect, deepens the feelings, |
gives a firm grip to the will.
The hard job also is the one which |
jis usually the most useful. Of course, j
the absolutely impossible is not to be
? attempted. One is not to seek to raise ;
peaces In Iceland. Such attempts :
spell' wasefulness. The reason is ever;
i to be used. ? The hard job is made
Shard because the conditions are difTi
I cult. The teacher is to educate those
[who do not want to be educated. The :
I doctor is to restore those who may i
| not be conscious of their need of
i restoration, so. far gone are they. But
I such teaching, such restoration has
| the highest value. The failure to
teach, the failure to restore, is abso
lute loss. The doing of the hard job
I is a positive addition to humanity's !
forces and resources.
For doing such work, for wisely j
choosing the hardest job, it is nec- [
essary that one shall have a proper '
confidence in one's self. That confi- 1
dence is to be as free from presump- '
tion and cockiness on the one side as !
it is from undue self-depreciation and
humiliation on the other. It is to be !
| a faith in one's self. It is humble,
without being humiliating, strong
without bumptiousness, firm without!
[stubbornness, and facile without being
| fickle. If such a faith, too. can have
a savor of wit, a dash of humor, its j
lvalue will not be at all' lessened.
the widow was that she didn't have a
vote, for of such Is the firgt qualifi
cation of "deserving Democrats."
There is no law that forbids the ap- j
pointment of a woman as a rural mall ,
carrier, but the Incident moved Con- [
gressman Steenerson, of Minnesota, to ?
Introduce a bill providing that women
j shall be considered -eligible for ap
pointment in the rural mall service or
J the country ir they are otherwise qual
ified. Postmaster General Burleson
should take a trip to Europe to see
how well women can do men's worfc,
and sometimes better.
We take It that Villa means to re
sume his murders of Americans if the
American government refuses to treat
with him.
Remember In these days that definite
assurance: "Inasmuch as ye have done
it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me."
So the "eight-hour" controversy may
be settled out of court, after all, and
Mr. Gompers' "law or no law" dictum
notwithstanding.
Quoting an eminent and ancient Vlr-j
glnian: "People cry peace! peace! buti
there is no peace."

THE OLD TAMTT.T BIBIdD.
O, the family Bible! so dear to us all!'
Can't you see It again as of old.
It lay on the sitting room table or
shelf
With its clasp and Its letters of gold.
Its dusky engravings in woodcut or. |
steel,
Its brown leather cover well-worn, I
And the fly-leaf on which were so care-]
fully penned
The lates when the children were
q born?
The photograph album, in binding of
plush
And glitter of gilding ornate.
Was kept in Ihe parlor, a place never:
used
Except on occasions of state.
But the Bible and cradle together be-|
longed
In the glow of the hearth as a part
Of the dally routine of the household, >
for they
Were things that were, nearest the
heart.
When supper was over and dishes were
washed.
And tho babies all ready for bed.
The family Bible was opened each night
And a chapter was reverently read;
And labor was sweetened, and courage
aroused.
And hearts unto . kindness werej
stirred.
And home ties were strengthened, and ;
spirits refreshed
By the blessing that flowed from the
Word.
In the depths of the wilderness, savage
and dark,.
It went with' the firBt pioneers
A friend in the forest to comofrt and
guide.
And to quiet their doubts and their
fears.
With crimson libations at Liberty's
shrine
Our patriot forefathers poured.
They conquered a mightier foe, for be
hold!
They were armed with the Bible and
sword.
0, the family Bible ? it stands like a
rock.
The refuge of every race.
And drear is tho home though a palacc
It be.
Where the Bible, alas! has no place.
When sickness assails you. or sorrows i
oppress,
At is pages rlivine take a look ?
Wo are all of us better and happier, !

KOREAN CUSTOMS
Described In Interesting Address By
Dr. Hulbert At Fourth Street M.
E. Church, Last Night
Korean customs, the characteristics
of the people and the development of
religion in Korea was related by the
Rev. Dr. H. B. Hulbert, who recently
returned from that country, after
twenty-three years service as a mis
s'onarv, in the Fourth street M. E.
Church last night. According to Dr.
Hulbert the development of the Chris
tian religion in Korea has been amaz
ingly rapid. Today there are nearly
2.500 churcher. in Korea having a con
vert membership of almost naif a mil-j
lion people. Seldom has a more inter
esting discourse been heard in Wheel
ing as was that of Dr. Hulbert's. His
experiences in that conntry, being a
resident of Seoul, Korea, for almost;
twenty-five years, enabled him to gath
er many interesting facts concerning
the people. |
How to Prevemt Croup.
Every effort should be made to pre
vent the attacks by giving the child a
light supper and plenty of fresh air
?at all times. The child should be
warmly clad when out of doors. Espe
cially the feet should be well protect
ed, and under no circumstances should
the child be allowed to remain with
wet or cold feet. Then watch for the
first symptom, hoarseness, and give
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy at once
and the attack may be warded off. This
remedy is a favorite with the mothers
of croupy children and can always be
depended upon. It is pleasant and
safe to take. Obtainable everywhere, j
