Senator Hanna Will Not Serve.

The Junior Senator from Ohio has
definitely and finally declined to
serve as chairman of the National
Committee longer than
his present term, which ends with
the organization of the new commit
tee at the Chicago national conven-
ticn. There Is no surprise in this, at
least to the Senator's Ohio friends.
He is too old a man to make further
drafts upon his physicial and mental
strength.
Mr.. Hanna went into active poll
tics some nine years ago out of
friendship for William Mckinley.
He marshalled the forces which led
to the latter's nomination for the
Presidency in 1896, and he accepted
the Craftsmanship of the national
committee to elect his friend. The
tremendous campaign of education
he planned and carried through to
succt IS was the most remarkable one
in the annals of our politics. In 1900
he again accepted the Craftsmanship
to re-elect Mckinley. He feels that
he has done his duty to the Republi
can party and to the nation, and he
desires to enjoy the comparative
ease of his senatorial position with
out the enormous work devolv;ng up
on a national chairman.
President Roosevelt would have
been glad had the senator felt that
he could undertake the work of ma
tional chairman for a third time.
This Mr.. Hanna feels to be impossible
in Justice to himself. The Presidents
second choice is Secretary Root, who
will soon retire from the war depart
ment. Mr.. Root is said to be reluct-
ant to accept, a. he feels that he has
made all the sacrifice that should be
demanded of him by the country and
his party. lie has been in the cabinet
over four years, and each year oi
service has meant the sacrifice of a
law practice worth SlO0 600 a year,
for which the salary of cabinet of
| iicer is poor recompense.
That Mr.. Root would be an excel
lent chairman is acknowledged by
every one. He is a man of supbert
Executive ability. and one who doe:
not make mistakes. His energy /:
tireless, he is resourceful and suces
full. However, should he decline
the choice of the President will be
ex- Governor Crane, of Massachusetts,,

confidence of the President and hi:
friends.-Toledo Blade.

The Yuletide Saint.

"Lo, now has come our joyful feast.
Let everyone be jolly,
Each room with ivy leaves is dressed,
And every post with holly,
Without tine door let sorrow fly,
And If for cold il had to die,
WE'LL bury it in Christmas pie,
And ever more be jolly"
The practice of decorating with
greens at Christmas was borrowed
from the Druids who dwelt in the
oak forests of Ireland and England
long before the birth of Christ.
They saw in every leaf and flower the
manifestation of one supreme deity,
and of the lesser gods: and gave to
plants a mystic and sacred charac-
ter. The mistletoe was especially es
teemed by them as having great vir-
the. They thought it to be an anti
dote for all poisons, and cure for
al diseases. At certain season oil
the year it was gathered with great
pomp and ceremony. On this occa-
sion the Druids gathered about the
tree whereon the sacred plant grew,
and a priest chosen by them for this
exalted Office, clad in pure white, cut
of the twig of mistletoe with gold
en- sickle; while two others, habited
also in white, caught it on a white
cloak as it fell, that it might never
touch the ground and become CON
taminated by the touch of earth.
The ceremony was concluded by OF
fering a sacrifice of two milk-white
heifers: and the rest of the day was
spent in feasting and in rejoicing.
As the plant was an evergreen, they
lreg arded il as the emblem of eternal
i life. We have added 1t to our Christ
mas garland because of its beauty
and unfading tint, and thus from be-
ing the object of a heather rite II
lhas become an adorrment at the
Christian festival. 1t is singular
that we should have drawn from so
many sources our Christmas myths
and customs, which in many cases
have lost their former significance,
and early sancity, and are now only
an accompaniment to the children's
festival of the Christ Child. in whose
train ST. Nicholas was a humble ser
want, and who doubtless would have
been forgotten long ago had he not
loved the children as did he, the
Christ with whom his name is linked
at Yuletide The Interior.

Logan County Wants Much.

Not only does Senator-elect West
of Logan, want to land Frank C. Nc
Cracken of his county for enrolling
clerk, but also wants William King
of the same county for sergeant-at-
arms.
Senator David Moore, of Athens
is not contented with being sponsor
for Malcolm Jennings of his district
for assistant clerk of ]. d. Thomas of
Glouster, which is also in his district,
for assistant sergeant-at-arms.
''If Moore insists upon backing
Thomas, it means that Jennings will
have to skirmish around and find an
other Senator to stand sponsor for
him.
This. is the sentiment of other
Senators, who think neither Moore
nor West should be allowed to fill
more than one important place. A
fair division of the spoils is the latest
senatorial cry.

Cleveland, where he will confer with

that will be of mutual interest in
