A GREAT SUCCESS.

ssHe has made great success.
They say he is worth millions. .
"Did you ever see him write? He
never writes anything but his sig
nature and when he does that he
writes with his left hand and holds
his wrist with his right hand to
steady it. His nerves are all gone
but he has made a great success. /"
This was the substance of con-
versation we heard few days ago
about one of Chicago's great fnan-
cial kings. Nervously wreck,
his health destroyed, but a great
success. Said one of the parties,
81 should think it was time he was
letting up little" eyes" said
the other, "but that is always the
tway. When things are coming
your way you think it is too good
a thing to let go, and when things
are running against you, you can't
let 60" Again there is but little
|use to point the moral. Such a
man as the millionaire wreck de-
scribed can be of but little use to
himself, his family or the state.
Hisschildren cannot be healthy and
sturdy. his life cannot contain
great enjoyments; he has made a
slave of himself to the dollar and
now he is bound hard and fast with
the irst'approaches ofinsanity and
senility at hand. The mans name
is known throughout the western
worldsof finance, in the strong box
of his vaults are doubtless millions
of securities, but something has
been stolen which all his securi-
ties will not regain.

A CHRISTMAS LESSON.

Merry Christmas! For nineteen
hundred years the words have
rung out, under many skies, in
many tongues and to many peoples
To some the words have been a
mockery, to some a grief, but to
those who have found in the Christ
mastide a deeper significance than
the mere giving of gifts they have
meant eternal JOY. To the chris
tian, to one who thoroughly be-
lieyes the story of the Christ child,
the day should be the happiest on
earth, and it would be if each
would remember that if there is
any truth at all in the life and sac
rihce of Christ, it has personal and
direct application to him. Gifts
long ago conferred are apt to grow
dim to the memory. The gift of
last year is superseded by the gift
Of this and past favors are forgot
ten in the hope of future ones.
The gift of Christ was for all time,
he is just as present now as then,
the need of the sacrifice is just as
great and ever present, and the
love that prompted it is with us
just as much as it was when the
angels sang their chorus Of s.peace
and good will to men, y to the shep-
herds on the hillside. This is why
Christmas is an ever present joy,
this is why to the Christian heart
the story never. grows old and why
the festival has lived through all
these centuries and has become an
important factor in the life of every
man. We shall not moralize, we
shall not ask how far we have de.
parted from the true Christmas
spirit. 1t would be unkind. We
shall not even ask how much has
IDeen expended IN costly gifts for
them who need them not and how
much has been given to the needy
and the poor. The Supreme God
did not send his Son into the
world as a token of affection to
some rich relative. He knew that
the gift would not be appreciated,
He knew that insult, pain and tor
ment awaited his only begotten
Son, but knowing this He sent his
Son because we needed Him. He
did not even expect a gift in re-
turn. All the hrst-born sons of all
the world would not repay the sac
rifce begun on Christmas Day
nineteen hundred years ago.
There are lessons for us in the
Christmas Day story, lessons that
we might apply toyevery day and
to Christmas Day in particular.

says he, ssbespeaks a deplorables
condition of political morals.
Their frequent occurrence is the
Legitimate result of a generation Of
disregard of election laws. !"
The solution Of the problem this
condition presents, Mr.. Crum-
packer says, is one Of the leading
questions of the honr. tits above
partisanship; it involves the'llfe Of
the government. He says in con
clusion: "Tbe measure | propose
carries no resentment toward any
state, north or south. 1t is not
designed for punishment, but II
simply aims to place representa-
ton in the HOUSE upon its constitu-
tlonal basis, and no state can Justly
complain if il be accorded its full
rights. No compromise can be
made with WlS1e
We are heartily in favor Of the
Crumpacker bill. The conditions
as he describes them in the south
certainly exist. If tits fact that
not more than one half of the peo-
pie Of the south are in point Of re-
ality exercising the rights Of citi.
zenship, it is not fair that the total
population be represented in the
national congress. The effect of
the present basis of representation
IS that one white democrat in the
south has as great voice in ma
tional councils as fhree white re-
publicans living in the north.
There is no question but that this
is unfair, and we believe that the
Crumpacker bill strikes at the very
root of the evil. If the south felt
that the continued disfranchise-
ment of the negro meant loss of
representation it would soon come
to the conclusion that it was best
to allow the negro to vote. They
might not at first accord affair
count also, but with factional strife
this would come and the free use
Of suffrage would, Of itself, educate
and up-lift the negro so that he
would be in better position to cast
his vote intelligently. 1t is time
that the people of the north should
cease quibbling with the southern
arlstocracy. Nothing has ever
been gained by this policy. from
the days of the Missouri Compro-
mise to the present. Had il not
been for the temporiztng policySof
our statesmen in earlier days the
civil war might have been averted.
It will be real kindness to the
south to enact drastic legislation
now, rather than to allow that I'M
happy people to drift on to an in
evltable and merciless race war.
AS we see it, it is the plain duty Of
the republicans to protect the coun-
try against these efforts to nullify
the constitution which are constant
ly being made by southern demo-
Gratis.

AS TO REPRESENTATION.

N0PlSScutdl!Ve NuImpaCkef OF
Indiana has submitted to- the
House an independent report on
the reapportionment bill. His re-
port largely recuces the number of
representatives from the south and
and favors a House to be compos-
ed OF 374 members.
In the beginning Congressman
Crumpacker quotes the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution,
providing that when the right to
vote is abridged, except for par
ticipation in rebellion or other
crime, the representation shall be
reduced in such states in proper
,tion to such abridgment.
mCongress in this matter, y Mr..
,Crumpacker says, "must take cog
nizance of current history and of
facts disclosed by official records.
There is not a member of either
house of congress who does not
know to moral certainty that by
direct operation of law the states
of Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina and South Carolian have
disfranchised a sufficient number
of citizens to'deprive each of them
of several representatives they
would otherwise be entitled to, to
say nothing Of the largely increas-
ed suppression of votes caused by
unfair partisan administration of
the laws. The question is: Will
Congress make an apportionment
of representatives according to the
plain requirements of the constitu-
ton, or will it ignore those require
ments and act according to it's ar
trary will?"
Mr.. Crumpacker then takes up
the constitution of. Louisiana and
adduces figures to show that IN
that state 43.74 per cent of the
the citizens are DISTINGUISHED.
The representation should there.
fore, he argues, BE reduced
from seven to four. In North. Car
DINA, for the same reasons, he
figures that the representation
should be. reduced from nine 10
six; in Mississippi from seven to
four and in South Carolina fror,
six to four.
The subterfuge resorted to in
the south to evade the law, he
says, marks the beginning of DO.
litical decentralization and social
decay. He then proceeds to a
severe arraignment of the south.
in many localities of which "the
trampling under foot of laws cal.
culated to secure, the exercise OIL
political privileges to the negro
has continued for SO long that it is
showing its vicious fruits in the
prevalence of mob law.
He denounces the frequent re-
sort to lynch law and its unspeak.
able horrors. sNThese atrocities !,

CASHED THE CHEQUE.
And Found Out Too Late That II
Was Clever Forgery.

Thursday evening a business-like
stranger stepped into Mr.. John
O'Keefe's store and asked to look at
some musical instruments.
He told Mr.. O'Keefe at the start that
he had no cash; but that he had been
trading with Mr.. viii Heiser and had
check signed by g. II. Heiser.
Everybody about here knows that the
right kind of a check signed that way
is as good as a whole crop of wheat at
Duke Watson's mill, and so a trade was
closed, Mr.. O'Keefe handing the pur-
chaser the difference in money between
the price of the instrument and the
amount called for by the check, the
latter being 50.
The check was drawn on the State
National Bank TO the order of +. F..
Burton and was so indorsed.
1t was filled out in good business
hand, signed likewise, and the revenue
stamp had been properly attached.
When Mr.. O'Keefe presented the
check the fraud was discovered; and
now the Police are trying to locate Mr..
Burton-or a fellow with some other
name just as good.
