PASS A $500 CIGARETTE LICENSE
Law!

II Is high time that the State of Hi
nols lnterfered with the cigarette bust
ness In Illinois by imposing an annual
license fee of $500 for the sale Of the
articles.
The action OF the City Council Com
mittee in reducing the local cigarette
license from 500 to $50 per year is
simply scandalous,
The city has been put to great ex'
pense In testing It's power TO tax cigar
cites In the way of a 500 license, and
the Supreme Court has sustained the
city. The court held that the city of
Chicago had the right to regulate the

stands that certain Aldermen claim
that the city lie losing a large amount
Of money, as appears from the report
Of Dec. 8, inasmuch as all large dealers
have paid their 500 license, and that
the small dealers are selling without
any license whatever; that to further
help the small dealer (who pays no
license at all at presenD. to cheat the
city out Of Its 500 license fee. the
Council wants to cut this down to $50
for all of them. and where the city Is
now receiving from 400 dealers who
have taken out a license the sum Of
$4O,OOO year. the city would only re-
celve some $4,000 year. This means
big loss to the city's revenue. II the
reasoning Of the Council is correct,
to wit. that they cannot enforce the
collection of the 800 license. they sure.
~ cannot collect the 500 one.
In many Of the larger cities Of this
State the local authorities have i'm

The election il almost over, and II
takes no prophet TO fOresee that Mayor
Harrison will be triumphantly re.
elected.
The Republicans are In full retreat.
John NJ. Smyth, Fred NJ. BlOunt and
a number Of other leaders. having seen
the handwriting on the wall. have left

over.
The flower Of the Republican party,
composed Of the very best business
men In Chicago, has declared for May
or Harrison.
Turn where you will, you will find
Republicans who are disguised with
machine methods In municipal cleo
fions, wearing the colors Of our popular
and honest young MAYOR.
At moderate estimate. Harrison Is
sure of the votes Of N least 10000 Re
pnb!icans upon election day.
He il also certain Of almost the solid
vote OF the Democratic party.
Mayor Harrison will poll more votes,
by large majority, than Carter and
Altgeld added together.
Altgeld has made a fine spectacle OF
himself.
The kind of men who have made
themselves prominent in his behalf
have only served 10 bring his candi'
dacy into greater detcstatlon.
He represents the sore and bad
minded elements in politics, and the
men with records In Federal and local
criminal courts.
He has notorious dead-beat for one
OF his running mates, and has several
men who have been indicted either for
running lotteries. embezZliDg from the
State or selling gold bricks on his com
mittcc.
Pretending 10 run on Municipal
Ownership ticket, his campaign Is run
largely by the money contributed by
men who are interested In seeing Mu'
niclpal Ownership even of Municipal
streets killed deader than a mackerei.
No wonder, Therefore, that Altgeld's
campaign has ceased TO even interest
Democrats. II disgusts them.
The only men whom Altgeld attracts
are the classes named and the anar.

CHRIST MAS.

Though doubters doubt and scoffers scoff.
And peace on earth seems still far off;
Though learned doctors think they know
The Gospel stories are not so;
Though greedy man is greedy still
And competition chokes good will,
While rich men sigh and poor men fret,
Dear me! we can't spare Christmas yet!
Time may do better-maybe not;
Meanwhile let's keep the day we've got!
On Bethlehem's birth and Bethlehem's star
Whate'er our speculations are,
Whate'er for us may be the line
Where human merges with Divine,
We're dull indeed if we can't see
What Christmas feelings ought to be,
And dull again if we can doubt
It's worth our while to bring them out.>
GLORY to God; good will to menu
Comel Feel it, show it, give it, then!
Come to US. Christmas, good old day.
Soften us, cheer us, say your say
To hearts which thrift too eager, keeps
In bonds, while fellow feeling sleeps.
Good Christmas, whom our children love
We love you, too! Lift us above
Our cares our fears, our small desires!
Open our hands, and stir the fires
Of helpful fellowship within us,
And back to love and kindness win US!

THE THREE WISE MEN.
The Significance of Their Presence in
Bethlehem at the Time of
Christ's Birth.

In the appearance of the three wise
men in Bethlehem at the time of the
birth of Jesus, there was something
singularly significant. They represent
ed the long aspiration and hunger of
the nations. Something more than GU
riosity caused their journey. The Mes
sianic expectation had pervaded the
east and probably had much to do with
their presence. The immediate occa-
siop of their visit may have been the
wish to pay reverence to earthly roy
atty, but more probably it was inspired
by what has been beautifully called
"the desire of all nations" The ideals
of the past had failed, and spiritual and
prophetic souls among many peoples
were looking for some new and better
faith. The east, as well as the west, was
without any rational religion, but the
lives of men were as dreary and their
hearts as hungry as ever. The ancient
faith spasmodically revived. then flick
cred, and then died away. 1t was at the
end of the old and the beginning of
new dispensation in other lands than
Judea. The longing for some new and
brighter light on human hfe's mystery
was intense and universal. The melan-
choly of "the seekers after God" like
Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, was
typical of long-continued and widely
prevailing sadness which was mixed
with dim yet prophetic anticipation
The wise men came out of nations from
which in later times many were TO 90
homage to Jesus as King in the realm
of the Spirit. They were the precursors
of the untold millions who were to find

SOME INTERESTING REMARKS.
Relative to the Cotton Market, Particularly
Appropos In View of the Discussion as TO
This Years Production and the Great Ac.
tivity In the Dry Goods Market.

"We in ite the readers of this paper to
look back during the past four or five
years and note that in that period Iron,
Copper, Cotton, Wheat and Germ were
selling under the cost of production.
"Iron that sold at $500 ton has since
sold at $3.50; copper that in 1896 was
around 6 cents per pound has recently
sold at 20 cents wheat in Chicago de-
clined to 46 3-4 cents per bushel and with
in two years from that time sold at $l.85
per bushel; corn sold a. low as IL cents
per bushel and later at 40 cents in the
New York cotton market the future options
of this staple within the past year sold as
Low as 5 cents, and under, and at this
writing have sustained an advance of only
2 1-2 cents per pound Iron nearly tri-
pied in price, rs did copper, while wheat
increased in value four times, and corn
d ubled, .s.a..
cit seems extremely logical to expect at
least that cotton, our greatest staple pro-
duct, will sell at is avera e price for the
past ten years, or about ga cents per
pound; moreover it is likely this .pric
will be ma e during the current cotton
year, especially in view of the e, e,tablished
certainty that this seasons yield is very
short, and the equally certain fact that
never in the history of the world has the
consumptive demand attained within 80
per ent of what it is at the present time
at seems reasonable 10 expect and 10
cent cotton next July and August, when
the real pinch of the sh rt op makes it
sef fe t. there is more than a possibility
that the above Fl ures will be made be-
fore the coming summer in the contract
market in New York, discounting the
above factors.
