What means this glory round our feet, .
The magi unused, more bright than
morn?"
And voices chanted clear and sweet,
To-day the Prince of Peace is born"
"What means that starr" the shepherds
said,
THAT brightens through the rocky
glen?''
And angels answering overhead
Sang. "Peace on earth, good will to
men,"
'Tis eighteen hundred years and more
Since those sweet oracles were dumb:
We wait for Him like those of yore
Alas, He seems so slow to come
But it was said in words of gold
No time or sorrow ere shall dim,
That little children might be bold
In perfect trust to come to Him,
All round about our feet shall shine
A light like that the wise men saw,
If We our loving will incline
To that sweet life which is the law.
So shall we learn to understand
The simple faith of shepherds then,
And, clasping kindly hand in hand,
Sing, Peace on earth, good will to
men,"
And they who do their souls no wrong,
But keep at eve the faith Of morn,
Shall daily hear the angels song,
To-day the Prince of Peace is born!"

so SAY THEY ALL.

The News and Observers editorial
upon: Have We a Privileged Glass of
Tax Dodgers in North Carolina?" has been
widely approved in North Carolina. Some
good lawyers and splendid gentlemen
who view every question strictly from
precedent, agree with the Attorney Gen
eral and the Judges. But MANY lawyers,
those who put more weight on the law
as the perfection of reason than upon
what some law officers once said, agree
that an income tax that falls on every
body alike, cannot be twisted into VIC
lation of the Constitution. in order to
exempt judges.
As a sample of the letters of approval
We quote the following from the private
letter of one of the first educators in the
State:
Il wish to congratulate you on the
strong editorial in Sundays paper rela-
tive to "Official Tax Dodgers"
Your editorial is in accord with JUS
tice, reason and common sense
ut may be a safe rule for courts to
have regard for precedents, but to the
average citizen, this following of pre-
cedents has about run to seed.
Let us have officials on the same
basis with other citizens. If it is not
legal, let us have a law to make it So"
