CHRIST MAS.

Tomorrow is Christmas. 1t is
meet and proper that with the
closing of the present year and
the advent of the joyous season
that we should give expression
to the appreciation that we have
for our friends and patrons for
the generous measure of their
favor with which they have re-
warded US in this good year 1905.
1t has been a pleasant year for
US, profitable year and we have
the public to thank for it.
Callous, cold and cynical in
deed must be the heart of the
man which is not touched and
mellOwed into love and pathy
for his fellowman by the Christ
mas tide. The natal day of the
Saviour of mankind brings anew
the sweet message of peace and
love which His coming brought
to us centuries ago and if we but
receive it in a spirit of reverence
we will be the better thereby.
1t is proper that We should Gel
.ebrate Christmas. It is the
sweetest fe stival which brightens
the life of mankind. The happi
ness which fills our lives and
homes, the joy which greets you
on every hand, are all a part of
the divinity of the occasion. Then
let it be divine and holy con-
memoratiOn, unmarked by any
excess Of license which is not in
perfect acc nd with the great
purpose and meaning of the com
ing of the Saviour of men. Let
your mind and heart contem
plate the great lesson which to-
morrow brings and may you be
better and nobler and truer and
gentler from the coming again in
to your life of the Christ.
Then peace be to you aud
yours and may the light of love
and happiness fill your hearts
and homes with a new found j "
and may yours be a merry and a
happy Christmas.

A TIMELY WARNING.

Mayor Gunter in an open let
ter to this paper this morning
sounds a note of warning. The
famous merger bill is before the
Governor for his approval or veto
and unless the cities at whose
prosperity this act is menace
come to the front in opposing it
the Governor may approve the
bill. If he can be made acquant-
ed with the real sentiment of the
people, if lie can be impressed
with the magnitude of the evil
threatening the entire State he
will veto the bill and the narrow
margin with which it passed the
legislature at the last session
will be turned into a larger ma
iority, and the bill will be defeat
ed when it comes before that
body.
Colum bus is peculiarly inter
ested in this fight. AS Mayor
Gunter says. we paid the South
ern a hundred thousand dollars
ia bonds and have paid that much
more in interest all for the bene-
fit of two railroads and competi-
ton. Now the Southern pro
poses to buy her compet-
itors thus giving US only on
road. retaining our one hundred
thousand dollar bonus aud the
annual pay ment of interest there
on and depriving US of the bene-
fits of this large grant.
Are the people Of Colum bus
going to sit idly by and see this
outrageous act without voice of
protest? Are we going to sub
nit Obediently to the Southern
and permit this gigantic corpora
ton to have US at their mer-
cy? Are we Indifferent to the
most i'm pOrtant criS'S which has
confronted the com mercial and
all other interest of this city in
years? Can't we raise a protest:
Meridian has already appoint
ed a delegation OF her best citi-
zans to visit the Governor and
oppose this bill and ask him to
veto it. Columbus must do the
same thing and at once. There
is danger in delay for the bill will
be before the Governor for action
within the first three days of the
year and our protest. strong and
EN- phatic, should be before that
time. Now that the Christmas
season is passed and the siren
Gus days are over. let's give our
time and attention to the mater
ial issues which endanger our city
and act.
Let's have mass meeting at
.cnce. We suggest that Presi
dent Weaver, of the Progressive
Uuion, call meeting at once that
The IL fiueuces at work for the
appr oval of the bill in this City
and elsewhere may be nulllied
and the real sentiment o The
people of this section may be
made known.
Lets have the mass meeting.

law in this State has won for him
the plaudits of the entire com
mon wealth Although his enc
mics charged that his admins.
tration would be characterized
by more lawlessnesS than any
ad miniStratiOn the State has had
in years, we find that the oppO-
site of this boast is true.
1t was not long after the Gov
ernor'S induction in to office that
he saved the rapiSt'S neck by his
prompt and resourceful stand in
favor of the law. In spite of the
white cap troubles he has been
diIigent and untiring to secure a
respect for and an enforcement
of the laws towards breaking up
this species of crime. In the
quarantine trouble he was
promptly to the fore in protect
ing the State and asserting Mis-
sissippi' S rights along the South
ern boundary. Ia the recent
Sandy Bayou case he made firm
stand for the law and has just
been trium phantly indicated.
Now what about the merger?
Under the guise of giving force
and effect to certain section of
the Constitution a bill was intro
duced in the last session of the
legislature to legalize the sale of
the M. & O to the Southern.
The bill was rushed into that
body in it's. expiring days and
jam med and forced through both
houses by the most outrageous
methods and rushed to the Gov
ernor for his signature. That
official declined to make it a law
without duly considering it and
the result was that the measure
has been in his hands for the
past two years. Unless he re
turns it to that body within three
days after the next session with
his veto it will become a law and
the matter is now up to the Coy
ernOr.
The DISPATCH cannot bring
itself to believe that after such a
firm stand ia behalf of the law in
all other matters that the Cover
nor can be made to approve this
bill. True he has some of the
StauncheSt and best friends he
ever had asking it but we believe
that he will be guided by what
he conceiveS TO be the law ia the
premises and. abiding by the
simple letter of the law the bill
will be returned to the law max
erS without his approval. OF all
the laws which have been writ
ten in our statute books the sec
ton of the Constitution forbid
ding the enactment of this mer-
ger bill into law is the plainest.
sim mpleSt and most straie htfor-
ward and if the Governor will
but manifest the usual regard for
| the law in the matter the fate of
| the bill before him is assured.
