Ever aince man baa possessed sufficient in telligence to distinguish him from the brute creation, be that six thousand years, according to the Mosaic chronology, or thirty thousand or fifty thousand years, according to the scientists of various schools, be has recognized the existence of two opposing forces in nature, or we may term it a good and an evil spirit—a God and a devil. He has prayed to the God, but until nearly two thousand years ago he largely followed the promptings of the devil, for the true interpreter of the spirit of God bad not come. Man, when not predatory, was just, but cruel, for he knew nothing of love in the broad sense of good will for all of bis kind, although affection was usually shown for his immediate relatives and loyalty to his clan. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” was his slogan in dealing with his fellowmen. And during all of this time life was the sur vival of the fittest and the good things of life went to the strongest. Philanthropy, the love of mankind, was an unknown quantity. But nineteen hundred and thirteen years ago, about this season of the year, there came into the world an Infant destined to change all this—an Infant of mysterious, obscure and humble birth, without an inheritance, with out powerful earthly friends, yet destined to become infinitely more powerful than all the kings of earth since time began and until time shall have an ending. With merely gentle wisdom for His armor and love for His com bined sword and sceptre, He soon began a reign whose glory can not be described and which shall continue forever. Supported dur ing His brief earthly life by a small handful of followers, His adherents are now numbered by hundreds of millions, while other hun dreds of millions are coding His precepts and the gentle practices urged by Him, although not conceding his authority. Is it any wonder, then, that this day—the birthday of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and the King of Kings—has been made the great central day of the whole year, around which all other days are arranged and beside which they sink into insignificance? Let us celebrate it with great joy and good will, but let us not forget wboee birthdsy it is and why we celebrate it. And may every reader of The Union-News celebrate it aright and in a spirit that will in itself make the holiday a merry one and the New Year surely prosperous in the best and highest sense! PRESENTS vb. HOLD-UPB. The action of the School Board in directing that pupils may not make presents to their teachers is to be commended. It is not object ionable for a child, in its individual capacity, to bestow some little token of regard upon a beloved instructor, provided the act is entirely voluntary, but too often the presentation is the result of a class or school contribution, the scheme being promoted by those who wish to curry favor and carried to completion by many children who, for fear of the displeasure of tha teacher or the ridicule of their schoolmates, give unwillingly of what they can not afford to spare. The system was doubtless innocent and praiseworthy in its inception, but it had become a rapidly growing evil and its finish was timely. A similar evil is the giving of presents by official subordinates to superiors, especially to those superiors who have the appointive power. Laws could and should be made to stop this, foi it smacks of corrupt practices just as much ns the purchase of votes or the giving of things of value to influence votes. Many an under paid clerk is "maced” at this season to con tribute toward the purchase of costly gifts for his chief, when members of his family are perhaps in need of necessaries. There is no actual obligation on him to subscribe, and in no instance, probably, would be lose his posi tion if be refused, but the practice is wrong. If the chief,-being under no obligations to his subordinates, sees fit to remember them with presents the case is entirely different. Even in commercial establishments, which no law could reach in this regard, the flow of gifts should be always downward and never upward. AN IMPOSTER. The announcement from Copenhagen will put an end, it is to be hoped, to the unseemly controversy over the discovery of the North Pole. It is plain now that Or. Cook is a daring imposter. After all, the long hunt for the pole was a case of "much ado about”—not a great deal. The scientific achievements involved are not of much value to the world and, upon examination, the whole thing resolves itself into an enormously difficult “stunt” that has been the ambition of many fearless, adventur ous men during several centuries, some of whom have lost their lives in the effort to fasten their names to the top of the globe. It is like the acrobatic feat of jumping from the Brooklyn Bridge and endeavoring to reach dry land again without serious injury, save that the arctic feat involves vastly more intellect. Nevertheless, we admire the intrepid men who have dared the difficulties of the far north, and we applaud heartily the man who has finally succeeded in reaching the Pole after *“*" -night separate attempts during some twenty yeatffr'- Dr. Cook’s situation would be amusing were it not so pathetic, and if he had not done so much damage to the good name of America. Instead of reaching the Pole be has gotten himself in a hole and so deep that only his immediate family and friends know where he is. It brings the blush of shame to one’s face to realize that an American citizen has at tempted to foist on the world so gross a fraud. An lowa correspondent of The Union-News states that some farm land in her section is selling for $225 an acre and she predicts that prices will go higher before spring. Although the present is a time of extraordinary pros perity for the farmer, it is hardly necessary to say that, for ordinary farming purposes, no land is worth such a price. For trucking, gar dening, or even fruit raising, this much and far more may be paid for land that is peculiarly situated or especially adapted for the purpose, but meat, milk or grain can not be profitably produced upon land that costs more than SIOO an acre. We fear some one stands to lose some money in the lowa boom. Thb Cbcil county school board has elected Miss Katharine Budd, a successful teacher in the Elkton schools, treasurer and connty superintendent of schools. She is the first woman in Maryland to hold such a position. BTRANGE APPEAL POR CHARITY. A woman in Baltimore advertised a few days ago that in order to get money to give her children a proper Christmas she wonld sell her body, to be delivered after death, for ten dol lars. The afternoon paper in which the ad vertisement appeared exploited the matter in a column story, and the consequence was that citizens, filled with the Christmas spirit and with noble but unquestioning generosity, sent the woman about seventy dollars in money and a quantity of supplies. The cbaiity of the givers should not be criticised, for their acta . should be judged by their intentions, but pos . sibly most of them, with their hearts swelling with the Christmas spirit, did not stop to anal yze the woman’s appeal and note that it did not "ring true.” The offer was sensational k and was plainly intended to do jast what it did—appeal to a sentiment too noble to ask questions. Only a regular medical school ; could have any legitimate use for the body, and these could, of course, not take advantage of the offer, for no binding contract could be drawn. The woman stated that she was young and healthy, but the chances are that these conditions will depart long .before her death. The scheme was either very silly or it was a deliberate attempt to get gain by playing upon the best feelings of human nature, and that it succeeded so well will, unfortunately, be an incentive to similar attempts on the part of others. There are some queer things in govern mental administration. Ooe of these is the - difference in the cost of sending packages through the mail from point to point in this . country and from this country to places abroad. For instance, if one wished, daring this festive 9 season, to send a pound of Maryland tobacco 1 from Baltimore to the Emperor of Germauy it 1 would cost but twelve cents to send it by mail ; prepaid, but if he wished to send a similar I package to the “Duke of Stemmer’s Run,” lees than ten miles away, it would cost sixteen ’ cents. It has been said that there are three t good reasons for this excessive cost of the par , cels post in this country—the Adams Express , Company, the Wells-Fargo Express Company and theßonthern Express Company. These ’ corporations so far seem to have had sufficient I influence with Congress and the postal authori i ties to keep the postal rate for packages high, , but the difference between the rates for do mestic and foreign shipment are truly absurd. i Attorney-General Isaac Lobe Straus of Maryland is opposed to female suffrage. He is a bachelor, and in an interview on the sub ject this week said : “I am opposed to woman suffrage. Woman’s sphere in the world is so high that it ought not to be dragged down by t her participation in politics. Her influence is far more valuable in the home than in public 1 affairs. As a matter of fact, the work that a woman does in the world is much too noble, too exacting and too important to have it con , fused with participation in politics. Man can not cope with her in it. Apparently be has no ability whatever for the task. Women ad vance the idea that their participation in public affairs will help them. This is espec , ially true of those who are forced by circum | stances to battle with the world. The working woman is wrong in this. lam convineed that it will only serve to make her battle more 1 harsh than it now is.” M r. J. Howabd Fox of the Towson bar, who was elected to tha House of Delegates on the Democratic ticket last month, believes it his duty to carry out the platform pledges of his party. In an interview a few days ago he said : "As a party and organization Democrat and one who was elected on the Democratic plat form last fall I am pledged to carry out the various planks it contained. I feel that the people of Maryland have seen fit to ratify the Democratic platform, and as a representative of the people I am unequivocally in favor of any reasonable and just legislation that will ■ carry out the principles of my party.” The man who unearthed the frauds being practiced by the Sugar Trust at the New York custom house will likely get about $1,000,000 for the service* he has rendered the Govern ment. The trust was fined something over i two million dollars for swindling the Govern ment out of duties by reason of short weights t in sugars, and Deputy Collector Parr discovered the trick in weighing by which this gigantic 1 swindle was being carried on. Under the United States law Parr is entitled to not more than one-half the fines. Mr. John J. Mahon, bead of the Democratic organization in Baltimore city and better I known as “Sonny” Mahon, has surprised many of his friends by announcing that be favors allowing women to vote in municipal ; elections. He thinks if women had the right of franchise most of them would vote the , Democratic ticket. '■ Dr. Thomas M. Curran, who had been an 1 active practitioner in York county more than fifty years, died suddenly on last Monday from i a stroke of apoplexy. He was engaged in active work until last Saturday. Dr. Curran was interested in church and political work and was a member of the Grand Army of the 1 Republic. i ■ — Could the last grand 'jury have intended to be merely facetious when it recommended that , the county authorities take steps to stop gam fi ling, which the jury asserted is going on in many of the saloons in the county? Many i persons think that such matters come properly , within the province of the grand jury. THE DEATH RECORD. ■ Woods —With the closing of the life of Rich j ard G.
