SQUIRRELS . , 4 westward ho
The gray squirrels are migrating
again from New England. Nobody
lias .vet found out the real reason whv
s*> many thousands, perhaps millions,
of these little animals go westward in
the early Winter. They have lately
been crossing the Hudson River over
the bridges, on tho ferry boats and
some of them even swimming across.
The latent tkeory is that they are
driven out of their old homes by the
smaller but more pugnacious red
squirrels. Farmers and hunters have
been encouraged to kill hawks, be
cause hawks kill game birds; but
hawks are also fond of baby red squir
rels, and a possible explanation is
that the red squirrels have multiplied,
as the hawks have diminished in num
ber, and there isn't room in the woods
for both the red ami the gray squir
rels.
It is just otfe of those interesting I
phenomena illustrating the constat)! I
effort of nature; to maintain the ba! I

TAXES plain figures I
I askod five intelligent people at i>|
social gathering the other night if]
they knew how much they paid in I
taxes to the Federal Government on I
each package of cigarettes. Nq9x>dy|
knew the answer. The revenue stamp!
on the cigarette pack simply says 4i'JH I
cigarettes'' and does not disclose the I
fact that the manufacturer pays six I
cents for each stamp and adds it to I
the price of the eigiarettes.
I tlrink ii 'wbuld be a very usieful]
taw, if Congress could be induced -to |
enaet it, to require that every tax I
stamp tells the buyer of the taxed I
article just how much tax he is pay- 1
ing. We will never get real economy I
in Government until tlv? ''man in th.il
street'* realizes that ho, too, is pay- 1
ing a share of the cost of the Gov- 1
eminent.
QUALITY pays
One <lf the wealthiest men T know!
is Herbert L. Satterlee, brother-in-law I
of J. P. Morgan. Mr. Satterlee is!
still using an automobile which was I
built in 1015 . Tho 20-year-old car|
has gone over 300,000,000 miles and
is /mpable of 60 miles an hour in *
pinch. Mr. Satterlee tried one or
frwo high-priced modern cars and
discarded them because they were not
as comfortable to ride in as the old
: / B I
machine that ho sticks k>. ,
W%dtliy people ,ea*i. afford to be un
fashionable. They can also afford to
buy the highest quality pf goods in
the fijpt place, I know cue millionaiBe
who has worn the same overcoat for
20 winters, but he paid $300 ft>r it
when it was new. I have spent more
than that for a succession of overcoats
in the same period. In the long run.
it always pays to buy the highest
?quality of any commodity, if you can
afford to tic up enough of your capi
tal in the initial purchase
FINGERPRINTS . . . accurate i
One f >f fJio reasons why there is n
popular prejudice against be
ing fingerprinted was disciloqpd the
fingerprint records ' of convicted crim
nal Investigation, in Washington, re
ported that sevqgol hundred former j
criminals had been detected by a
comparison of the fingerprints, taken
when they applied for jobs, with the
fingerprint rerords of convicted crim
inals on file in Washington. Many
business concerns and some munici
palities and states new require a
fingerprint- record of every applicant
for a Job and send these records down
to the Department of Justice.
I have long believed that the time
would come when everybody's finger
I prints woiild be recorded in infancy
as a matter of course and kept avails
able for identification at any time in
later life.. There is no good reason
why this should not be done.

(,, \ We see those we have trusted betray us; thoes we like
misunderstand us. Our lives become hardened, our hopes
vanish, and our faitli wavers; and we become weary of
life and its grinding heartaches.
Yet, at Christmastime, somehow the burdens become
lighter. The age-old song echoing 1 !om the Judean hills
falls sweetly upon our ears, rii 1 v renew "our faith in
friendship, love, and good-will anio. g men.

The light of the Star beams into. >ur weary hearts and
warms them, even as it led th^ wi men. from the East

In simple faith, as little chihlvcn, v o go to the manger

, There we can learn anew the seer >t of life ? that humil
ity is greatness, that the simple tl irigs bring happiness
and contentment. For it was to tea li us to despise no es

was born in an humble manger.
Thus, we of this age, if we are vise men, will follow
the star to Bethlehem, and learn c v a Little Child.
THIS WEEK'S NEWS
IN THE CAPITAL CffY
Washington, December 17. ? tVesi
dent Roosevelt's spredh before tl?
Farf Bureau Federation has served to
fooas attention sharply upon the clear
cut fact that the bat lie-ground of the
Presidential campaign of L98(J will be
in th? agricultural West. Mi'. Roose
velt, in effect, challenged the republi
cans to ofSer a substitute for the AAA
which would he equally satis
factory to the farmers between th>>
tytis9isaippi and the Rocky Mountain. .
No one qualified to speak for the Op
position has yet offered any sue a
program. The feeling grows here, how
-ever, that the republicans' answer to
Mr. Roose vert's challenge will come
tVoni the West and not from the East,
when it does come.
Senator Borah's ludio speech, in
which he criticized sharply the con
servative Eastern wing of the purt^
is regj*< le< a? not so 'n ich an ex
pression of the Senator's own desire
to be the republican candidate as it
was an effort to rally the progressive
thought of the West into1 a solid
front, which can dictate the party'-*
aericulteural policies. It is also in
terpreted 'as a backLvided ship at Mr.
Hoover's leadership.
Whether or not the Hie of cleavagt
between Eastern and Western wings
of the republican party will amount
to anything more serious than the
| customary fight for organization bem
trol remains to be seen. Experienced
political observers here, however, are
swinging strongly to the opinion that
considerations of political strategy
wi|l force the party to pick its can
didal :rom somewhere west of ti*>
Mississippi and east of the Rockies.
That would eliminate Mr. Hoover
on the West, and Col. Knox and Sen
ator Vandenbeig on flic East, leivfhj?
the contest, so far as visible candi
dates now in the field are coneerfed,
1 to Senator Borah, Gov. Landon, land
Senator Dicki'nson, of Iowa. Few ?ro
found who believe that Mr. Borah
seriously .expects to be t.he nominee.
That leaves Governor Landon as tho
rilsing star of the moment.
There is no end to the possible com
plicatons affecting next year's cam
paign which a ay develop from tio
actions of Congress, which meets now
in the matter of only a couple oi
weeks. The temper exhibited by re
turning Senators and Members tan
best be described as ''rambunctious."
They are going lo put up a fight .for
every measure that has votes in it.
