CHRISTMAS. ‘The observance of Christmas as the day of the birth of the Savior, though there is no evidence of its really being such, is by common consent, a pleas- ing and profitable custom, and It ts moreover, the one thing in which Christians of all denominations, with but few exceptions, actually concur. In almost every other particular; creed, doctrine, rites and ceremonies, there is almost infinite diversity of opinion and practice; in regard to the propriety of making the alleged day of our Savior’s birth, a holiday, there is substantial unity and, by some means or other, the birth of Christ has been so impressed upon the world’s customs and manners, that every event in its history, soctal, governmental and per- sonal, must, necessarily, be connected ‘with that important event as the orb of the solar system are with the great luminary. ‘Thus Christ is the light of the world, and all our affairs are con- nected with him as the planets are bound to the sun by the law of gravita- tion. In every letter we write, every eed wo execute, every item’ of busl- ness we transact, custom has made it necessary and unavoldable that we should connect the transaction with the truth of Christ. And it ts a significant fact that the nations that THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we protest makes cowards out « The human race has climbed test.

[ee ee eee To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on pro- test. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the in- quisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. thus recognize the Savior, in even an incidental manner, are, those most advanced in intelligence and clviliza- tion—those that are most powerful and prosperous, those that really govern the world. The nations that celebrate the 26th of December and that designate the present year as 1916, are the favored ones of the world. That such is the case can be attributed to no other cause than Christianity, of which Christmas is the emblem. So we send our readers the usual greeting a Merry Christmas, A REAL PHILANTHROPICT | One of the most pleasing things we have heard of lately is contained in the will of the late Andrew Freedman ot New York, the bachelor who lett an estate valued at $7,000,000, the bulk of which is to be used even. tually for the establishment of a home for the aged on original lines which the founder himself had for- mulated. It will be known as the Andrew Freedman Home. It will re- ceive aged persons in indigent cfr- cumstances without regard to race, Sex or creed, and especially will it care for old couples who, in the even- ing of life might otherwise be forced to live apart. Mr. Freedman selected twenty-four persons, who will be re- quested to act as trustees of the home. They represent various races and religions and their selection shows that the testator intended that the institution should have a repre- sentative board. Mr. Freedman, evi- dently, belongs in Ben Adhem’s class. “LAW” IN LOUISIANA, Early in the month martial law was declared throughout Jefferson parish, adjoining New Orleans, Louisiana, Governor Hall sald in his proclama tlon that “a reign of lawlessness exists in Jefferson parish, and it appears that authorities of the parish, charged with enforcement of the law, are in sympathy with the lawless element.’ | The state. troops confiscated and burned various gambling parapher nalia, The dispatch announcing martial law contained this statement: “Saloons serving both white person: |and Negroes will be closed immediate ly, but other saloons will be allowed to operate as long as there is no dis order.” And that is the gist of the whol affair—eolored and white’ people ar not allowed to drink together i Louisiana, IT’S TOMMYROT ALL RIGHT. Rey. Father Francis X. McCabe, president of DePaul University, is in favor of preparedness and doesn’t hesi- tate to say so. In a recent speech he said: “Talk of universal peace is tommy- rot, and there will be strife between man and man, nation and nation until the last man has turned his toes to heaven, “Two men cannot live together with- out having their dissensions, and even a man and a woman cannot abide with each other without fighting. “There are times when a man will fight with himself.” Namby pamby mollycoddles of the Bryan, Ford type ought to stop, look and listen! DANIELS DOUBTED. Said Secretary of the Navy Daniels at Washington recently, at fraternal night ceremonies: “I pray to God that the day will come in Methodism when there wi not have to be any fraternal night, ‘The Secretary added that he hope THE MAN W: © DARZS tT honor the map «40 in che con- sclentious discharge %f his duty dares to stand alone; tn world, with ignor- ant, intolerant juegment, may con- demn, the countenances ‘s{ relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the counten-. ances of relatives or the hearts of © friends.—Charles Summer. Dr. Krishna of the dethroned dy nasty of India, scholar, literateur, and intimate friend of Pierre Loti, Anatol France and other European brilliant is in the United States, and his por | trait of an American is nothing Ike the reflection the delighted gentleman draws from his own mirror. In a recent interview Dr. Krishna said: |_ “The American lacks spirituality jHe is materlal., He gives his wite hot 40 $10,000. ‘Now, you take a gc |to hell for what I care,’ he tells her. ‘Tmust have a little bird around that 1 can flatter and be flattered by.’ And he gets his divorce.” To this cavaller treatment of the lady of 40, the American adds a fawn- ing for anything British, and an amus- ing ingenuity in twisting scriptures to condone whatever he wants to do, said the distinguished Rast Indian, Dr. Krishna, dark, polished, and of excellent diction, spoke with contempt of America’s degeneration to a mere colony of England, gladly restoring the yoke that Washington and other heroes had cast off at great cost of blood. “England says, ‘I must control the seas,’ and America says, ‘yes, it is right that you should? and America ‘supports her. And yet, in 1812, your country fougat England for just the reverse principle. There was a man, by name George Washington, and you call him the father of this country be- cause he demanded and, somehow, won a free home for his people. “Send us no more missionaries of Christ. I find that not a nation that procaine Christ has “not robbed another nation of its home. And you thank God and Christ for each con- ‘quest that brings the light to heathen peoples. “Who has made this war? It is the Chistian nations. Is that the lent that you would have us brought by Christianity? “In India the Bnglish have brought a heel of fron. ‘There are thousands of our people starving, and yet we must support English bishops with hand some rings, carriages, automobiles and heavy crosses of gold. It Christ was crucified on the eross these gold ones typity, then his followers are |nothing aback in crucifying thelr weaker brethren on thelr ttl replicas.” Dr. Krishna fs a graduate of the Unt versity of Bombay, the University o Japan, and of Oxford. He is pres! dent of the FrancoIndlan soclety 0 Paris and Bombay, is literary critl and philosopher. ‘Tired of Praising Enemy. (From the Pioneer-Press, Martins ‘burgh, W. Va.) The Pioneer Press gets sick and tired of Negroes going off in refuent argument and praise of tardy judicial actions. For after the wicked grand father rascality crime had served its plans and purposes and was by time getting thread-bare, this decision was made. Why should I go wild in praise of It after suffering fifty years: because of the denials of my rights?

While rambling around the other day THE APEAL man discovered a young man, who although normal in every other respect, had two heads on his shoulders; one was his own and the other was that of his sweetheart, who was thus showing how pleased she be that because he had just informed her that he would take her to the Christmas matinee at Union hall on Christmas day, from 2 to 7 o'clock. Boys, a hint to the wise is sufficient. "HELLO PARIS." The Attraction at the Star Theatre Next Week. George A. Clark, who is a leading comedian with the "Hello Paris" Co. that will play a week's engagement at the Star theatre beginning Sunday, Dec. 26 matinee, has discovered a way whereby to regulate his bankroll and keep himself in a secure financial position. He has made a firm of himself, it really being in the nature of a co-partnership, the two parties being, as he puts it, "I and Myself." The first party is supposed to be the spend-thrift of the firm, the black sheep as it were, while "myself" furnishes the conservative elephant whose party has a separate bank account. Of Mr. Clarke's salary being divided half and half between "I and Myself," always in the end "Myself" has the more money of the two. "There is nothing like it," he explained. "Just to show you how fine it is to have a really close friend who is one-half of yourself, when I started to buy a ticket from New York to Detroit recently I found that I was short exactly $1. Had I been obliged to seek financial aid from some one else I might have experienced some difficulty, certainly would have been humiliated but you see, I had "Myself" myself. But you see, I had a good big bankroll and I had no trouble whatever in borrowing a dollar from "Myself." Of course, to conserve confidence I paid "Myself" back the very next pay day that "I" had.

Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law governing subscriptions. Below are the decisions of the United States Supreme Court upon the subject: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary when subscription expires, are considered as wishing to renew their subscription. If subscribers order a discontinuance of their periodicals the publisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. If the subscriber continues to take the periodical from the postoffice to which it is directed, or receives it from the carrier, he is responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher and the papers are sent to the former address the subscriber is held responsible. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearances is made.

MINNEAPOLIS mas seals means to Minnesota. man seals means to Minnesota. The economic loss to this state annual seals means to Minnesota an million dollars, which means that every one of us loses five dollars personally. Practically all of the 2,500 annual deaths from tuberculosis are preventable if taken in time and properly treated. When you buy a Red Cross Christmas seal you help Minnesota to "take them in time" and to eliminate the needless suffering and needless loss occasioned by the white plague in this state. We deserve a distitute widows and orphans that other disease—Red Cross seals save families from misery. If Minnesota raises the fund which it should, it will mean that poverty will not prevent the proper treatment of tuberculosis victims. Adequate funds will make possible the free services of physicians for diagnosis and treatment, the care of a visiting nurse, and the provision of living for the patient and protective care for the families of the poor. Of course we want our community to rank among the first in per capita seal sales this year. The way to do this is not to talk about it, but to buy seals. Let us put them on our calling cards, on our private and business correspondence, bills, packages and everything that will hold them from now until the end of the year. If each of us purchased one hundred seals, think of what our community and the state could do in ridding itself of disease next year! MINNESOTA PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION. The Minnesota Public Health Association announces that its membership is open to all citizens interested. Anyone who is concerned about his own health, that if his neighbor, or that of this state as a whole, should take advantage of its opportunity.
