general interest to the readers of the
Leader
"Those who have watched the pro-
gress Of the Prudential in Ohio and In
diana cannot help but recognize the
dominant personality behind the agen-
cy machinery in these two great life
insurance States. The dash and spirit,
the system and wholesomeness mani
fest in the building up of this section
of ''Gibralter," are largely due to the
head and heart of Hon. Henry BOIL,
superintendent of agencies for the ter
ritory named Mr. BOIL has enthus-
iasm tracing every vein, and intelli-
gence runs with it. His faculty to
stimulate and to produce results is pc
culiarly fitted to agency guidance.
Mr.. BOIL is a widely known factor in
| Ohio politics, and his renunciation OF
Organism was significant event in
the Buckeye State" Owing to a con-
stant drain on his physical resources
in advancing his company's interests
Mr. BOIL has been in delicate health
for weeks and not able to visit his
field. His hundreds of friends will be
glad to hear of his returning vitality
and will wish him years of health ant

on Scanned street between Fourth

son of Fred S. Brasor. who lives in
one of the Ranger houses on Fifth

cidents of less serious results among
the coasters Monday.

A THIN DISGUISE.

The cutie fish has a tricky habit of
covering his tracks by exuding an inky
fluid which discolors the water and keeps
him out of view. There's good deal of
the cutie fish about some advertise
ments, notably those purporting to offer
medical advice by woman to women.
An examination of the advertisement
will show that no offer of doctors ad-
vice is really made. And all the clanor
about writing to woman" is merely
raised to divert attention from the fact
that doctors advice is not really offered
and cannot be given. The real question
is not of writing to a 7O00iaH or man
but OF writing to doctor,
For the advice of an unqualified
woman is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Every day adds to the number of wori-
EN- who take advantage of DIR. Pierce's

Gov. Shaw.

There is nothing more striking in the as
pect Of our national affairs than the fact
that the President should tender-and with
widespread approval-the treasury portfolio
to citizen of Iowa. 1t seems only yester-
day that Calamity Weller was represent
ing an Iowa district in Congress and clam
oring for soft money and nearly everything
else that was soft. A little while later and
General James b. Weaver of that state was
the soft msney candidate for President
The northwest, indeed. was the favorite
range" of the soft money men, and Iowa
was the home OF some OF the most conspicu-
GUS OF them.
Then came the change. The sound money
men got their bearings. and took the field
with an energy and agsressiveness not sur
passed in any other section Of the country.
The Shaws, the Aliisons. the Wilson's the
Hendersons, and the Dolliyers-an Iowans-
were conspicuous In the fight, and soft
money was repudiated. Iowa became The
home Of the soundest sort of sound money
doctrine. She gave Mr. Mckinley enormous
majorities in both OF his national races,
and only last month elected state ticks
on sound money platform by a maier't
approaching the hundred Thousand

The Panama Offer.

1t is hardly conceivable, save on the as
sumption that Congress is not sincere in it's
purpose to pass a canal bill this winter,
that the recent offer of the Panama fran
chise and properties to the government for
S40,OOO,0O0 will serve to delay the enactment
of the necessary legislation. 1t is clearly
device to gain time. The Panama people
may well be in panic, as reported, for If
the Nicaragua canal is built by this gov
ernment their holdings will be of no value
whatever. But they have had their chance
and have lost it. For many years they
frittered away time and money on a scale
which disgusted the world. Enough wealth
was poured into the isthmus to construct
three canals, even In the less perfect stage
OF engineering OF the earlier years Now
that their failure has been demonstrated,
and this government proposes to select its
own route upon its merits and to build its
own canal. the Panama people have no
right to ask for more time or for any benefi-
cence.
1t is to be feared. too, that the offer is
not sincere. that it Is inspired by other in
terests than those of the Panama stock
holders. The Panama claims have been
used with more or less effect for a number
of years for the selfish ends of the trans
the canal bill. 1t is altogether likely now
that, on the eve of the consideration Of the
canal bill by the House. with everything
prepared for a swift passage through both
chambers. the antagonistic interests should
exert themselves to the utmost to secure a
delay. 1t is all one to these railroad inter-
ests whether the Panama route is offered
at s4o.OOO,OOO or 500. O.OOO. 900 They realize
that the course of the Panama protectors
has disgusted both the people and sincere
friends of the canal in Congress, and that
no offer is likely to be taken seriously into
account in the face of the report of the
latest commission. The whole play is for
delay, for postponement to another ses-
sion. in the hope that perhaps next year
some greater project may intervene to pre-
vent action. Advocacy of the acceptance of
the Panama offer at. this stage of the case
can only be interpreted as a blow at all
canal construction.

ically been annfhilated. New York itself is
not more firmly In line for safe finance
than Iowa.
Governor Shaw has held no national office,
but he comes from that field Of successful
operations which has given so many men of
fine capacity-and notably several very sue
cessful secretaries of the treasury-to the
country. Daniel Manning was an Albany
bank president. Charles s. Fairchild came
to the Treasury Department from a small
town in the interior Of News.sYork state.
Charles Foster was an Ohio merchant. Mr.
Gage was a banker without political ex-
perience of any kind. ALI of these men
mastered the treasury duties without diff
ficulty, and we may all be sure that Gov
ernor Shaw will also. He has been conspic-
uously successful in both business and poll
tics, and among his friends and advisers are
some of the strongest men in our national
life.
But, acceptable as Governor Shaw is in
himself, the great assurance to the country
from his appointment is that the soft
money craze is dead. The old doubt about
the west is thing of the past. The affairs
of the Treasury Department are as safe in
western as in eastern hands. When a Mas
sachusetts man by reason of personal af-
fairs is unable to accept the portfolio an
Iowa man of equal ability, and as sound
on the goose is available. The gold stand
ard is truly the national policy now.

Germany and Venezuela.

The latest cables report that Germany is
hesitating in her program of sending COL
lecting expedition against Venezuela, hav-
ing been Influenced by the news that for
midable revolution against the Castro rule
has just developed. This may prove to be
a wise course. A punitive collecting
visitation would lead almost certainly to
friction and embarrassment. According to
her ostentatious announcements Germany
merely wants to get the money due on her
claims. She can we'll afford TO wait and
take a chance on change Of government
at Caracas within few months. This lat
est revolution, it is reported, is Of much
more than the average strength. Castro's
rule has been so despotic that he has alien
ated many Of his most efficient lieutenants,
and some Of these are now in the field
with Mendoza, whose army is marching
on La Victoria, an important city near the
capital. There are two sides to the case as
it presents itself to Germany. Is it wiser to
press now for a payment Of the claims while
Castro is menaced, and therefore in no con-
dition to resist, or would a pressure now
upon threatened government yield any
substantial return, especially in view of
the danger that the German commercial
prestige would probably be menaced by the
aggression?
The United States has evidently taken no
degree of alarm at the proposed Germanic
invasion of Venezuela. 1t has never In
late years, interposed objections to the le-
gitimate debt-collecting enterprises of the
European powers in this hemisphere, recog-
nizing that it could not possibly stand
sponsor for the small governments to the
extent of shielding them in the evasion of
just debts. The intervention to prevent
British aggressions in Venezuela was based
solely upon the policy of preventing an un-
just acquisition of territory from the
smaller government. It will rebound to
the political morality of the southern re-
publics if this policy is maintained, caus-
ing them to respect the righteous claims of
their creditors and at the same time pre-
venting debt collections on land grabbing
basis.

Giving in Thanksgiving.

There is more than the usual reason for
a general outpouring of gifts this year in
token of the Christmas season. The coun-
try Is prosperous and happy, at peace and
progressive, confident of its future in the
hands of able guides and in the enjoyment
of the continued benefcence of Providence.
The gifts bestowed on all sides are in
large degree therefore tokens of thanks
giving, a recognition of the material bless
ings enjoyed by the people, who in turn
are exchanging of their surplus to promote
the happiness of all.
So this Christian land accepts the oppor-
tunity offered by the season to express its
gratitude for its material and its moral
welfare. 1t has yet many problems to
solve. many ugly facts remain to remind
it of duties still to be performed. But it
has progressed since Christmas was last
celebrated. 1t has lost a loved Executive,
through violence, but that loss has demon
strated the consolatory fact that never be-
fore was the Union so perfect, never before
was government so strong and effective,
never before were the people SO thoroughly
imbued with a patriotic spirit.
In every section today Christmas means
that something tangible has been gained
for betterment during the year. Crops
Business has prospered. Trade has ex-
tended. Schools have multiplied. The peo-
pie are everywhere more enlightened, and
therefore more capable of appreciating the
blessings enjoyed by those living in
Christian land under a progressive govern
ment by the people.
Here in Washington the gifts bestowed
today bespeak a degree of prosperity even
above the American average. Washington
suffers less than many other communities
by the fluctuations of trade and the COM
mercial forces, and its affairs are there
fore more conservatively founded. This
year it gives out of its abundance and does
not neglect its charitable duties. The
Christmas spirit has inspired the capital
to deal generously with all those who suffer
from material causes. The helpless poor
are watched with close care, their sick are
nursed their little ones are made glad with
presents.
The stocking of the nation is well filled
today with gifts Uncle Sam has proved
munifcent dispenser of bounty, with kind
ly thought for individual and sectional
needs. From the happy family in the
White House to the poorest group in a
hovel. the day has brought Its blessings.

The Christmas Spirit.

Tho snirit of goodwill which pervades
Cbristendom today Is a force of great po-
tency in civilization. 1t raises mems per-
sonal and collective standards. 1t fmbues
them with noble purposes, inspires them
with high ideals helps them in the race for
success and in the desire for Righteousness.
1t pervades the home and the community,
and fills the whole atmosphere with genial
ity and mutual helpfulness.
This spirit comes from the standard of
human living set by One who was born
nineteen hundred and one years ago, and
whose influence for good in the world has
grown stronger and broader through the
ages. Despite the shadings of denomina-
tionalism and the clashings of doctrine,
the purity and blessedness of that life Is
recognized today everywhere that the
Christian religion Is understood, even where
1t is not practiced. This phenomenon of the
acceptance of and the reverence for a pure
and holy life is a sure token of the worlds
progress toward a higher plane. Christs
part in the enlightenment and betterment
of humanity is not restricted by sectarian
bounds, and to this fact is due today the
wonderful force exerted by the religion
named for Him.
Christmas is observed by many hundreds
of thousands who do not accept all of the
tenets of the faith. Men recognize the es-
sential value to humanity of such festi-
val of celebration and praise whatever
their personal doctrines regarding the fu-
ture life. They realize the sublmity of the
Life, shining forth as 1t did in those days
of bigotry and persecution when the Saviour
passed through his ordeal, a sign of
what man should be and may be-
The true function of Christmas is to en-
phasize this truth. that Christ was an in
spiration to the world, that He left His
name as token of the force of gentleness
and goodness in mastering the passions to
righteous ends and for the elevation of the
mind. The accompaniments of the festi-
val, the bestowal of gifts, the expression of
good wishes. the services and music in the
churches dedicated to His service, all these
are signs of the central thought that that
life was as the Divine Power intended
mans life should be, 1t may be, and as
it must be if the precepts of the Saviour
are earnestly and faithfully recognized and
practiced in the everyday affairs of the
world,
The Christmas spirit should prevail
throughout the year. not for the day only
1t should stretch forth to the smallest de-
tails of living, to the slightest relation
ships, to the most trifling performances
A life ordered out of sincere understand
ing and acceptance of the great truths
which today gain vital, positive force
through the universal celebration of the
SaviOur's birth will become in it's turn a
power for the helping of the world to even
higher planes of purity and Righteousness.

holders! How loudly 1t swells out in this
chuntry! How earnest Is the appeal to the
President by the opposition to "call off your
dogs! Give the people chance, Mr.. Presi-
dent, to express their true sentiments at the
polls. 1t is not fair to permit lot of i'm
pudent officials to use the prestige of their
places to bring about a result which will
be Of value chiefly to themselves and their
supporters
Nor does the complaining cease when the
election is over. In summing UP the losers
always take into account the influence that,
as they charge, was exerted by the official
class Patronage, they firmly believe-or
say they do-cut a most important figure
in the fight. Could it have been eliminated
the result might have been different. They
see for time great peril to the country
from this source, and declare that before
another election rolls around something
must be done about it.. Then they quiet
down, and when time shall have wrought in
its healing way they drop the subject. Nay,
more than that. When they come into
power themselves the charge Is made
against them of employing patronage as a
political lever; and about the same proofs
are offered in the one case as in the other.
The fact is-although so many are unwill-
ing to confess tive are all human.
We may make up our minds to expect
discomfort in Cuba no matter what the re-
suit of the election may be. The air for a
season will be filled with threatenings and
complainings by those who have been de-
feated. They are going to read national
disaster in the stars. They will put time
limit on Cuban happiness and prosperity,
and pretend to prepare for the worst. Some
of them may be willing to help bring the
worst about. But maybe the star Of hope
will continue to shine. Maybe there will
still remain some balm in Gilead. At any
