SUCCEEDS MARK HANNA.
August Belmont is Elected as Pres
= ident of National Civic Fedora
ton at ANNUAL Meeting.


At New York, Thursday night, Au-
gust Belmont was elected president of
the National Civic Federation to sue
ceed the late Senator Marcus A. Han
ma. The election, took place at the
dinner of the national civic federation,
which was held at the Park Avenue
Hotel.
/. Samuel Gompers presided, and the
speakers were: Archbishop Ireland,
August Belmont and John Mitchell a
paper by Andrew Carnegie, who was
unable to be present, was read. In it
Mr.. Carnegie advised employers not
to hire new men during strike, but
to wait for the old ones to come
back. - ....-
Mr.. Easley in his report. said the
movements for the organization Of the
civic federation are making good prog.
ress in England, France, Germany and
Canada. He believed their success
might logically lead to the creation Of
an international body to improve the
condition of wage-earners and their re-
lations with employers and to forward
economic education throughout the
world. -r.
Never BEFORE" the report says,
"haye there been so many evidences
Of the growth Of a spirit of broad con-
servatism on the part of large employ
ers and on the part Of organized labor.
It's significant and encouraging outlook
Is welcomed everywhere. Many differ
On the details Of the work, however" !"
Abiding to the section Of appren'
tices and efforts to regulate competi-
tion, Mr.. Easley said:
"The eternal presence Of these ques-
tions so vital to all society and to the
progress of civilization, invites the
most searching and devoted study. II
they are insoluble and irreducible
there may be found adjustments that
would prove effective SO far as they
accord with principles. It Is for the
attainment Of these purposes that the
department Of the industrial econo-
mics has been organized"
The newly organized welfare depart
ment which deals with the physical
comfort, recreation and education of
the employees has received enthusias-
tic support from many employers. ac-
cording to the report Of Chairman H.
H. vreeland, who followed Mr.. Eas-
ley. Mr.. Vreeland said the work was
practical as well as altruistic
A growing appreciation Of the trade
agreement on the part Of both organ
lied employers and wage earners as a
practical method of securing and
maintaining Industrial peace, was re-
ported by Francis L. Robbins, chair
man of the department Of trade agree

al industries, and an extension OF
their local application. AS an evidence
Of what can be done by this depart

orators association to which he re-

homes and our purses, and possesses us
with the spirit of loving and giving,
and kindly thought Of others.
Our Christmas season is curious
commingling of Christian and pagan
ceremonials. When Christianity was
making slow headway against poly
theism, fhe early fathers Of the church
j found it expedient to engraft upon the
I new faith some of the customs and
practices of he old. Thus, long before
the Christian era "the babe in the man
ger" was a symbol Of the birth of the
new year, and was part Of the Satur-
MALTA. or festival of Saturn, the mad
dest and most riotiously merry of pa
gan feasts. The decorations Of our

Z comes from the rites of the ancient
Druids, who yearly cut the milky-ber-
Z ried parasite from the trees with silver
knives and much ceremonial. The Dru-
ids were not pagans, as the Romans
were; they believed in God, in a future
life. in rewards and punishments for
good and evil doing, but their faith
!. was crude and cruel.
.s The giving Of gifts, the feastings,
{ and the benefactions to the poor which
characterize the great Christian holi-
I day were features Of the midwinter
fes....r:as1 Of the pagans, and were graft
ed upon the new religion to make the
4 transition from the one to the other
more easy. Later Christmas revels,
the wassail, the waits" traces Of
which still survive in England, can
ssbe followed back to the Yule festival
s Of the ancients, Yule being the name of
the winter month in which the days
begin to lengthen. Yule was derived
from Hule, wheel, the ancient SYM
!. bol of the sun. Great logs were drawn
to the cavernous freplaces of those
days with great ceremony and merri-
ment, and were lighted as symbolicol
of the return of the sun in the winter
solstice, and in honor of the lengthen-
ing days.
The early Christians did not special
! " celebrate the nativity. but regarded
as more sacred the anniversary OF
Christ's baptism, as the date on which
His ministry began. The institution
