age of cash if next year witnesses [ repetition of the deficit He said he doubted that appropriations can be cut sufficiently to. wipe otS the deficit and continued:
 There remain two alternatives. ei- ther to impose additional internal taxes or to readjust and revise the tariff. We have repealed the war taxes which afforded large revenue. and the eight years of the present Dingley tariff have seen in this country prosperity never before witnessed in the civilized world. If the deficit continues in seri- ous amount. then in one way or the other either our taxation on imports or our internal revenue system must be changed to meet the shortage with every effort to cause the minimum of business disturbance.
 "A congress of the United States has been elected which will meet regularly the 1st of December, possibly earlier by the call of the president, before which the issue of regulation of rail IOdu Idtcb anu thC thNthou oi "cctih8 the deficit must come for decision" .ao
 Discussing railroad rate legislation. the secretary said that the interstate commerce law had accomplished much. but that inequality and injustice re- inained. Of the proposed remedial bill as 1t passed the house of representa-. tives the secretary said:
 Tt attempts to give more power to the railroad commission. so that its or ders when made shall be effective un- til set aside by judicial hearing It does not as yet provide for general fixing of a table of rates by the com mission. but only calls for fixing of . maximum rate upon complaint with respect to a speciec instance of injus- tice. It seems moderate measure. calculated to give the added power to the commission necessary to effective ness to remedying an all powerful tri- bunal which shall in advance take away from railways the power of rate making and of elastically' responding to varying conditions. If will not thus paralyze individual effort in meeting the changing demands of trade"

with unnecessarily high stumps in or der to save labor in hewing down the butts. In many other cases the trees ere not used as far up into the tops as they might be. Further. the hewing process itself Is very wasteful and leaves in the woods quantity of litter in the shape of slabs and chips in which fire is often started and the forest seri- ously damaged.
 If hewing is continued it would be unvise to restric; the cutting to 14. IS and 1s-inca trees. for that would involve increased waste. but the value of the smaller sizes demands this restriction and saving should take the place Of heving. When the larger logs are sawed several boards can be obtained from the wood nos wasted in slabs and chips as the hewing progresses.
 There is still aaother form of waste resulting from beving. In grading ties the railroads are very strict about ac- cepting none under specification sizes. but they do not object to some excess In size. Thia and the fact that less labor is required to produce large ties. has in- duced hevers to make many ties larger than they need be- This is a small mat ter in the case of each tie. but e they are cut by the million the excess repre- sents in the total . very large waste Of wood It means also an unnecessarily great consumption of creosose or other material used in the preservative treat r1ens. since the total bulk of vood which must be treated Ia greater.

Alone at Christmas.

If in this age of organizations innu-
merable there is room for one more, it
is for an organization which would
bring together, especially on Christmas,
those who are alone in the world, par
ticularly women, says the Ladies'
Home Journal. Many of us who have
our kin closest to US on Christmas day
do not stop to realize what our feelings
would be if they were not with us. 1t
is so hard to imagine ourselves in po-
sition other than the one we are in.
We remember some poor family at
Christmas, but at least it is family.
1t is together. The one is company for
the other even in poverty. We remem-
Der the sick, and God blesses those who
do. Would that some of us might cast
a look around and give thought to
those who are not sick, who are not
perhaps poor as the world judges, yet
who are alone some girl, perhaps,
alone; some woman, alone; some young
man, some old man, alone! Alone at
Christmas!

CHRISTMAS CARDS.
w. A. DObson. r.. A.. 1t Is Claimed.
Was Their Originator.

w. A. DObson. r.. A.. 1t Is Claimed.
Was Their Originator.
Until now most people who cook an
interest in the matter would have cred
tied either the late Sir Henry Cole or
]. G. Horsley, r. A., with the produc-
ton of the first Christmas card, and
they would have put the date down as
1916 But a new claimant is now put
forward, the late W. A. Dobson, r. A.,
and his claim is supported with cir
cumstantial detail.
The birth of the Christmas card Is
put back two years, to 1874. Mr.. Dob
son was lonely young man, who one
day conceived the idea of acknowledge
ing the kindness of friend by sending
him picture illustrative of the festive
seasonal cheerful family group sur
rounded by the familiar Christmas ac-
cessorieS.
The distant friend was delighted,
showed it to other friends, and Mr..
Dobson was encouraged the following
year to secure the aid of the local
photographer. Then came imitators one
after another until ten years later the
business man stepped in to make mon
ey out of what was originally work
of love- But the ambitious Christmas
cards Of today are a long remove from
the primitive Father Christmases and
Robin Redbreasts of sixty years ago.
