DOCTORS DISAGREE.


IN THE COURSE Of a lecture to some
L Chicago university boys not long
ago DR.. Eduard- Meyer. the historian.
said: Wine and beer break down all
the barriers and make student days in
Germany the most delightful part Of
life Don't think of the morrow. boys,
but live in the present moment" a
short time later DR.. Joseph Kohler. al
dressing a law class at NorthwesterH
university, said: do not follow Pro-
fessOr Meyers advice. Do not drink
beer. Leave all strong drink alone"
There seems 10 be a disagreement OF
doctors here. one says Drink" the
other says, Let it alone" Which pro-
fessor would you rather send your boy
to? In our judgment there is hardly
any room for argument. 1t may be
true that wine and beer break down all
the barriers in German student life and
that student days in Germany are made
most delightful by indulgence in in
tOxicants. but We know that other bar.
riers are broken down by beer and
wine.
We know that the boy who acquires
the habit Of using intoxicants soon
takes more interest in drinking than
in studying; we know that a boy can
not drink heavily or at all and be a
good student. 1t may be that in Ger
many the students are so little re-
sOurceful that they can find no way in
which to amuse themselves except at
drinking bouts. but things are different
over here. Thanks 10 the encourage
ment of college athletics, thanks to the
fact that good men and women do not
take kindly to boys who drink. there is
not the inducement in this country for
young men 20 make dFuRkards of them
selves. They can ind plenty Of enter
tainment along wholesome lines.
And what shall be said of a teacher
who deliberately encourages young men
to use intoxicants? He should. of
course. warn them against drinking
beer or wine to excess, but he knows
or should know. that it is a good deal
easier to form a bad habit than to re-
strict or break it. His rule of mOder-
ate Indulgence might work we'll with
some boys. but it would work very
badly with a large proportion of them.
The safest plan is to urge them 20 let
intoxicants severely alone.
Or. Kohier is right, and We believe d
large majority Of the mothers and ia
theirs Of the boys of the land viii agree
with him

CONVICTION OF suRroN.

THOSE WHO HAVE READ the re-
4 ports Of the testimony offered by
the witnesses for the prosecution in the
case Of the government against Senator
Burton of Kansas. viii not be surprised
when they read this morning that he
has been found guilty, Burton was
charged with using his influence as a
United States senator with the post
Office department on behalf of a Kansas
concern that was under the ban. The
evidence tended to show that ne re-
ceived for some months a regular salary
of $500 per month, and that he knew
he was committing an ofense under the
statute.
That he knew this is evidenced by the
care he took TO destroy the records Of
his connection With the firm for which
he was doing business. In the light Of
the outcome of proceedings against 9TH
err senators and ex-senators it was
hardly TO be expected that a jury with
sufficient courage 10 convict Burton
even after his guilt was proven, could
De found That such a jury was founG
is altogether TO the credit Of the prose-
cution. Certainly Burton made a hard
enough fight against being convicted.
The finding in this case will have a
wholesome influence on public men
generally. n is a hint to them that
they cannot always hope TO escape
punishment for their misdeeds, that
they are not. because Of their high O1i-
cial positions, exempt from unpleasant
consequences so often visited upon the
commonalty. We presume that Pres
ident Roosevelt Will hasten TO congrat-
ulate the prosecution, and he is the
same Roosevelt that has announced
determination to summarily remove

onment That is. a defendant must he

Happy Day for One Russian Soldier.
Christmas comes 10 days late in
Russia, where the oldcalandar is
still in force. At the Russian court
Christmas is observed with all the
gorgeous and impressive religious
rites required by the doctrines of the
Orthodox Greek church. The car
goes in full uniform, late on Christ
mas eve, to attend divine service
in the chapel of the Imperial palace.
He invariably implants a kiss on
the cheek of the first common soldier
whom he sees doing sentry duty in
the corridors of the palace. The sold
ire is always carefully washed by
the palace officials in advance and
care is taken that he is a man in
good health, who has run no danger
of coming in contact with infectious
diseases during the previous two
the soldier who Is destined to re-
ceive the kiss is kept in seclusion,
under medical supervision, during
this period. After the car has kissed
him and passed on his way to the
chapel the great ladies of the court
embrace and kiss the common sold
Ter, glad to be able to impress their
lips on the spot which the mouth of
their consecrated ruler has touched.
Christmas day is observed in English
fashion, for both the car and czarina
are devoted to the English habits and

ding are the principal dishes at their
dinner and the imperial children find
on Christmas morning that the stock

been filled by Santa Clause during

romping with the little ones of his
household.

stockings are hung up, and the little
ones rush forth at dawn to see what
Santa Clause has brought them, just
as do the children of the humblest

there is a children's party, and in

and tell stories.
Lots Of Kisses at Kaiserhof
The german emperor and his large
family begin their festivities on
Christmas eve, at the Kaiserhof. with
a Christmas tree and big Christmas
supper. Then the royal family join
in singing a Christmas carol. Next
the father and mother and seven chill
dren all kiss each other. Also, each
member of the family gives every
other a present, so that ~ gifts are
exchanged. At the supper which fol-
lows there are no servants, and the
royal family waits upon itself for the
only time in the year. Christmas
morning the kaiser spends in receiv-
ing the calls of many officials. In
the afternoon he goes out walking,
and to every soldier in uniform whom
he meets he gives a silver coin. He
also enters humble homes, bestowing
Christmas greetings and aims upon
the inhabitants. The kaiser's Christ
mas present bill is tremendous
one, for he sends gifts to all the
royalty of the states composing the
federal German empire. and to near
ly every European monarch.

Ing Christmas this year at the Villa
Savoiro, near Rome, recently pur-
chased by King Victor. Christmas
day and the evening preceding are
marked by many religious observ-

the little princess and the crown
prince. There is also a Christmas
tree.
If an Austrian-child or adult
were to be asked which is the most
important day of all the year he

to ask why, the answer would prob
