CORRESPONDENCE We wish correspondents in all the nearby post offices. Write at on/»p turies and remembering that Christmas is a day in honor of Him who went about doing good and that a real Christmas gift should carry with it the spirit of Him who gave Himself with every w-ord and deed. This is the check that has long been needed to an abuse of a custom which keeps the world perenni ally young and makes us rem ember, just before it is too late, that it doesn’t matter half so much how wealthy we are as how many friends we have and how well conteiited we are with our lot, however humble it may be. THURSDAY, DEC. 9 AND SO BRYAN BACKS nowN.

Bryan may have done some very funny things, but he is not the fool you might think he was. He has fooled a number of people, year to the real and original spirit of Christmas. People have banded themselves together into societies for the prevention of useless giving. This does noti but Bryan thinks there is some- mean that the splendid custom of exchanging gifts with loved ones and friends is to be discon tinued or discouraged in the thing a head for him and he is traveling towards it, despite the fact that German conspiritors blow up AuKM'ican powder mills, least. It sirnply means that peo- people look at Bryan and pie are putting more love, and less monev into their C hristmas packages; that they are cutting out the perfunctory giving remember some of his riot talk. Uncle Sam dt>es not assume to'; the responsable of Mr. Ford‘d people from whom they may j possibly receive a present and to whom they give a present sim ply to be on the safe side. There is none of the real spirit of Christmas in this. Every gift made at this time should carry the heart with it. A gift which is made to impress somebody with our ability to afford thing, or that is sent out smiply to off set some gift that may be re ceived, is simply an abuse of the most gracious custom and the most blessed day. People are turning time back a few cen- party, nor does he with any of ficial stamp attempt to lend digrity or character because of the nilssio?i il .u'oeson. Mr. Ford is evidently a good man, a liber al spender r.nd means well, but his judgement is faulty. We do not think there is any power that would stop the war now short of the most disasterous physical force that could be in flicted upon the weakest pow ers. ✓ RUNNING THK PAPER Everybody think.^ he can run a newspaper better than the be nighted souls who have been placed by Providence in that un enviable position. Maybe it’s because the editor’s faults are glaring ones—out m the open in black and white, or, possibly, it is just a queer quirk of human nature and the job’s so easy any way. Running the paper is a sort of side line with lots of people. The Democrats says his paper is a dirty rag if he is Republican in his sentiment, and the Re publicans stop their subscription if he comes out for a Democrat. If the editor is for anything the the antis condemn him, and vice versa. If be t-akes a stand he is trying to dictate to the com munity. If he doesn’t take a stand, he is a molly-coddle and a jellyfish. He is a crank, a re former, a fanatic, a four-flush er, a crook, a disturber of peace or just a plain idiot, ac cording as he meets with the de sires of his subscribers or against them. And there \on are. The average man never thinks of the hours of toil dovvniight, soul-sweating toil it takes to get out a paper. He never thinks of the trials, the tribuLvt....o editor must undergo. Some of them are so unappreciative of his efforts to boost their town and make money for them, that they won’t even contribute the price of a subscription. Just remember this: The editor, apart from the laudable desire to make a decent living has only the good of the com- I DR. G. W.
