While our churches may not be sc
inviting as the Cathedrals in our met
ropolitan cities, yet tney are homelike
and all who enter are assured of a
hearty welcome. How much better it
is for our young men to attend these
services than to lounge about the

see groups of young men shivering
upon the streets while nice, warm
church awaits them, and even the bell
urges them to come. Going to church

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

In the rush Of early morning
When the red burns through the gray,
And the wintry world lies waiting
Fer the glory Of the day,
Then we hear a fitful rustling
Just without upon the stairs,
See two small white phantoms coming,
Catch the gleam OF sunny hair.
Are they Christmas fairies stealing
Rows of little socks to fll
Are they angels floating hither
With their message of goodwill?
What sweet spell are these elves weaving,
AS like larks they chirp and sing?
Are these palms of peace from heaven
That these lovely spirits bring?
Rosy feet upon the threshold,
Eager faces peeping through,
With the first red ray of sunshine,
Chanting cherubs come i'm view;
Mistletoe and cleaning holly,
Symbols of a blessed day,
In their chubby hands they carry,
Streaming all along the way.
Well we know them never weary
OF this innocent surprise;
Waiting, watching listening always
With full he arts and tender eyes.
While our little household angels,
White and golden in the sun.
Greet us with the sweet old welcome
Merry Christmas, every One.'

FAIRNESS OF JUDGMENT.

A moulting of mans prejudices is
an evidence Of intellectual advance
ment and gives us greater acuteness
OF discernment and makes fairness OF
Judgment possible. Openly and frank.
ly to change ones mind when new
phases Of question are presented, is
the privilege and often the bOunden
duty OF a fair-minded man, and is,
Furthermore, badge Of greatness.
We are pleased to note the changed
policy and broadened mind of our
President in appointing negroes to
federal offices. 1t is given out that
he will grant federal patronage to ne
grOes only in those states where the
negro has the balance of power in
elections. Observations made during
his Southern tour admonished him
that this is the wise course. Prompt
in arriving at conclusions, he is as
prompt in action. The present regis
trar OF the treasury, negro from the
South, is asked to resign his position
in favor of negro from the North.
He is evidencing still further his COM
prehenSion Of real conditions, by 60
ing beyond party-lines to find the
best person for the position to be
filled. We referred last week to the
many cases in our own state where he
has but recently appointed democrats
to positions in places where he did
not think there were republicans of
equal merit and capability. These
actions on his part can not fairly be
designated as an effort to curry favor
with the democrats, for he is also
adopting many democratic policies
which he sees to possess unqueS-
tlOnable merit. The Hon. William
Jennings Bryan and the President
are q unit in many of his poll
cieS, and 50 patent is this to the
well-pOsted that many think sure
ly that Mr., Roosevelt has advised
with Bryan before certain policies are
announced. Since the president is
great enough to. adopt the views of
our people in regard to many mat
ters, we do not believe that our peo-
pie will be SO smaB as to hold a mind
liked in prejudice toward him, and SO
lnfair as to withol5 the appreciation
md commendation that is SO justly |
lis due.
BY SO doing we are but acting upon |
The advice of the greatest leaders the |
south has had since the war and we
,ut ourselves in line to advance our
interest and make possible
victories for democracy with
'ut sacrificing one single principle

We fear that in these days of cheap
novels the good old farsily bible is be-
ing sadly neglected, especially by the
young. Why not begin she New Year
with Il determination to- study this
most interesting and instructive of
books. The bible is adapted to every
possible variety Of taste, tempera-
ment, culture and condition. 1t has
strong reasoning for the intellectnal;
it takes the calm and contemplative
to the well-balanced James, and the
affectiOnate TO the loving and beloved
John. The pensive may read the ten
der lamentations and funerSl strains
of jeremiah. Let the sanguiDe COM
mune with the graphic and creative
Joel: the plain and practreal may go
to the wise EccleSiaSteS or the out
spoken Peter. They who like brilliant
apOthegms should study the book Of
Proverbs, and the lover of pastoral
and quiet delineatiOnS may dwell with
the sweet singer OF Israel. T. you
would take the wings of imagination
and leap from earth to heaven, or wan
der through eternity, then open the
Revelation; pour over and fill yourself
with the glory of the New Jerusalem;
and listen to the seven thHnderS; and
gaze on the pearly gates and the gOl-
den streets of the heavenly city. Let
our first resolution for the New Year
be to study this wonderful book of
books.

GOOD LAND
Vegas Wash Traverses Fer
tile Section

Norman \. Kuhn has just returned
from trip down the Vegas wash to the
Colorado River, in company with Geo.
Z. Gibson and Mr., Wade Of Los Ano
geles
Mr.. Kuhn says that commencing Mt
point about 10 milesout from Las Vegas,
and continuing to where the wash en-
ters the narrow canyon, is strip OF
exceedingly fertile soil, aggregating
thousands OF acres.
After leaving Mesquite Wells, says
Mr., Kuhn, water can be obtained very
close TO the surface, and in many places
it breaks through oE its cwn accord.
All the land referred To is So situated
that 1t could be easily irrigated from
wells in the wash. The soil is com
posed OF sediment that has been carried
in tor years by the Vegas River during
the wet seasons.
The only drawback to the successful
cultivation of this fertile area il the
danger OF submersion in wet seasons,
but this might be abviatcd at small cX-
pensc by building .diSes along the bed
OF the wash,
