Carrier brought to the class room a
well equipped m'nd, a sympathy with
the children and a character that won
respect and attained results. She
was a type of teacher who made the
profession a study and while her los
to the community is great, It will be
felt most by those young people whose
characters are being molded in the
class room.

said that five years ago we have
his word for it.
Uut arbitration treaties are ail
right now. We are g'ad the colonel
can change h's mind.
By the same logic a league of na
tions is all right. The United States
of America once were 13 independ
ent colonies, with jealousies and in
terests aa conflicting m the jealousies
und confl'cting in'ercsts of the sever
al world powers. The War Between
the States was fought because these
interests could not be reconciled by
statesmen. Nobody would have the
United States become a lot of sepa
rate nations, each opposing the oth
er. The league of nations idea is n
Federalist idea, or a Whig idea, and
as such should be advocated by v.ru
Jent Republicans. Only Mr. Taft,
however, of the Republican of na
tional reputation is advocating such
a league. Hearst said Wilson was
a Federalist, according to telegrams
published by the senate invest'gating
committee, and thc Republican party,
which is an offspring of the Whig
party, should not fail to conform to
its doctrines of the past.
But maybe Colonel Roosevelt, in
his belated endorsement of a treaty
of arbitration between the United
States and Great Britain, is coming
around to the principle of a league
of nations. But he should not wait
until it is too late.

Yes, indeed, there is a Santa Claus.
There are millions of children who
are thinking of his beneficent old
whiskers very hard these days. When
they infrequently raise their voices,
engage in a contention, as sometimes
happens, and their angelic disposi
tions are clouded for a minute, all pa
or ma has to do to restore equilibria
;'s to begin to discuss Santa Claus
At least we have been told so. If
our children ever get to fussing
over paper dolls, or a bit of rag, or
one sits in tho other's chair or docs
any one lof a syoro of things to
break harmony with a perfect day
we shall elevate our tone and observe,
"I see by tho papers that Santa
Claus has begun to get a whole lot
of things together for good children.'
We are going to do that very thing,
because it is written in tho stars that
it is good.
It has been decided to divide those
German war-ships among the allies
those losing most to receive most.

I know wre have been asked all of
us, to do our bit, lots of times, since
last Christmas, and we have respond

"over the top" in every cail; yes,
liberally, and may I say freely, surely
that is just like our good nature, and

I know you all want to help make
them up a nice treat again, on Christ
