Keep time, keep time, glad Christmas

Loud. louder, sing thy song sublime;

How long ago, in land afar,
The shepherds saw the shining star;
Heard echoed strains of harp and Tyre,
Attuned TO thrill of angel choir.
Keep time, keep time, wild, joyful chime!
Bid every heart keep Christmas time
Let there be none 50 worn ana weary,

That thy rich music may not ilh 90,
With happiness and fond good Will,
With lust "A bit of hspe and cheer,

Repeat thy message true, sublime,
Unto the mighty, to the lowiN,
Unto the sinner, TO the holy
Bid them live on in gentle peace.
Their strife and hatred all to cease;
And bid them come, not IA Of old

In Justice to Mr.. shaw.

The Secretary Of the Treasury's ex-
PLANTATION of the discrepancy between
his official estimate Of the deficit for the
fiscal year just closed and the actual
deficit for that year is marvel of can
dor and mathematics.
Mr.. SHAw's estimate in his last annual
report was $4,000 900. The actual def
cit was somewhat over $24, 100000 But,
says Mr.. SHAW. lin the preparation of
this estimate an error Of $4,5oO,Oo was
made growing out of the loan Of that
amount to the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position. BY some inadvertence the
amount of that loan was deducted twice
The estimated deficit but for this would
have been $22 SOC. 900.
AS simple as quaternions! But is
Secretary SHAW telling the whole truth?
Is it not fact, which in justice to his
we'll earned reputation as financial
forecaster ought to be made known to
the public, that by a second inadvertence
half of the amount Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition loan was deducted
third time, and that but for this other
error the estimated deficit would have
been s25. 900 900, or within few hundred
thousand dollars OF what it actually
proved to be?

A Defense Of the Tip.

To THE EDITION OF THE SuN,sir. With much
disgust have read the letters you havo printed
on the tipping question. Not one has favored tips
even when they arc given systematically.
Tipping Is practical and expected In two occupa
tons mainly, both OF which are those OF rendering
personal service. BARRIERS and walters expect tips
and do their work with that one object In view.
Other services which are rendered and for which
no tip Is expected arc not done with the poiiteness
and care that are shown In the chair and at the table
A realization Of these facts can make tipping a
pleasure.
Demand service. Here Il the cruz Of tho tipping
question. The ant-tippers enter barber shop or
restaurant with the stink OF miser. They feel
that the walter or barber Is q holdup man In a
wrong sphere OF endeavor. For my part, get
pleasure out OF the same things they cringe under

Most people expect the walter or barber 10 be A

Burke's life Giving Radium.
Ernnn IND lanai

Considerable publicity has been given In the lay
press this week to the results OF remarkable series
OF experiments made In the Cavendish laboratory
at Cambridge by Mr.. John Butler Burke on mo
spontaneous action OF radioactive bodies In gcla'
tin media. The nrst account OF these experiments
Appeared In a signed letter published In Nature Of
May rs, and In this account the writer promised
more details shortly" but so far as we know no
further communication has been published Briefly
the experiment consisted in placing radum salts
In stcrlzed gelatin culture. care being taken 10
sterilize both the salt and the broth before com
mencing the experiment. After twenty four hours
or so In the case OF the bromid and abou, three or
four days In that OF the Chord peculiar culturcEe
growth appeared on the surface and gradually
made Its way downward until after fortnight
in some cases II had grown fully ccn,inletcr he
meath the surface. The ccntrals showed no growth
whatever.
At flrst sight on microscopic examination the
growth appeared TO be due TO microbes. but as they
did not give subcutures when inocula,cd In fresh
media they could scarcely be bacteria. Their pres
ence would appear 10 be due to the spontaneous
action OF the radlum salt upon the culture medium
and not solely to the influence OF anything which
previously existed therein. Mr.. Burke concluded
after careful and prolonged examination OF ihe'T
structure, behavior. and development that they
arc highly organized bodies, although not hhcts'
ria. and that they arose In some way from the action
OF the invisible particles of radlum. He has pro-
posed to give these bodies the name OF "radobrs'
indicating their resemblance to microbes as well
as their distinct nature and origin II has been
suggested that they are, after all. crystals but Mr.
Burke Is confident that they are not OF the nature
OF crystals.
While admitting the extreme in,ercs, OF these
results the evidence that gelatin culture has been
vitslized by purely physical and inorganic hsen-
cies tina, life has been established out OF nan'ma'e
materials. Is not at the present stage OF the erper
ment convincing and further results will be awaited
before the opponents OF the spontaneous theory
may be Induced TO abandon their position.

Spap Beans and TurniD Salad.

To THE EDITOR OF THR SuH-.Sir: II IL per.
fectly evident to my mind that your correspondent,
"P o. d." not only familiar with the proper way
OF preparing the snap bea but owes his familiarity
to his Southern birth residence. have only one
thing TO add to what he has 40 ably said. and that
Is as to the kind OF bacon which should be used In
the proper preparation OF the SNAP"
He says: "A Southern darby cook would no
more think OF cooking green beans without bacon
10 season them than Northern cook would think
OF cooking doughnuts without grease" but he does
not say that this bacon Is not the bacon which Is
commonly seen In the North. but Is what Is called
on the plantations side meat" or very coarse
thick pork. which Is only cured In salt. and has
never been smoked. Paradoxcal though It may
seem. when the snap bean Is prepared with large
piece Of this coarse. greasy meat. It, is one of the
most delicate OF all summer vegetables.
For fear that some OF my Northern friends my
think that II Is only In the North that this vegetable
Is Improperly prepared. will say that It is rarely
the case that one finds 1t In perfection In any OF the
public hostelres Of the South.
The above remarks as to the snap bean are also
true to what called "turnip salad in the South.
This Is dish from the leaves tops OF the growing
turnip. and Is sometimes called green's" the prep.
aration OF which Is almost Identical with that Of
the snap bean. e. r. MCVRIoH.

his respects to Mr.. GoMPERs and other
labor leaders by calling them "the mis-
leaders Of the working classes He
comments in the following terms upon
the work OF the Federation:
In taking a survey Of the Industrial neid to day
we arc at once Impressed with the total insdequacy
OF the present form Of labor organizations. Pure
and simple unionism has long since outived Its
usefulness II Is 10 truth reactionary and auxiliary
to tho capitalist class
1T has been charged that We wish to disrupt
union labor Union labor IL already disrupted
We here for the purpose OF uniting the workers.
The trade union movement Is 10 day In control OF
the capitalists and Ia teaching capitalist economies
All the important strikes OF the last few years have
been lost Look at the Fall River strike the stock
yards strike. and the present teamsters' strike.
There must be something wrong with this sort
OF unionism unionism that Is In alliance with tho
Civic Federation. an Organization whose mission
It Is TO chloroform the workers There Is but ono
way TO remedy this condition and that Is TO sever
connection with the American Federation Of Labor
and form union that viii truly represent the In
terests OF the workers.
The supreme need OF the hour Is for such an
organization. based on tho class struggle. am
satisfied that the great body Of American workers
desire such an organization. Tho leaders or
rather the misleaders, OF labor know that their
doom is scaled II this convention Is successful"
There is no doubt that, as Mr.. DEBs
remarks. there is something wrong with
the unionism Of to-day. One of it's
in, tolo iov
Of some Of it's leaders and the methods
employed by them. Only when union
ism by the wisdom OF it's leaders. the
soundness Of it's policies and the general
sanity OF it's actions, commands the re-
spect and support Of employers and
the general public, can it hope to take
it's place as a permanent and effective
force In the industrial affairs Of the coun-
try. 1t weakens it's own cause by tacit
and expressed approval of such pro-
ceedings as the Cripple Creek strike and
the :eamsters' strike, and by retaining
among its leaders men who have shown
themselves incompetent and unworthy.
1t permits itself to be made ridiculous
by controversies in which slang and VI
tuperation are tho chief weapons.
The success OF unonism does not de-
pend upon the personal leadership of
either Mr.. GoMPERs or MIR. DEBs, but on
it's ability to work in harmony for ends
that will win public approval and deserve
public support. Neither internal dis
cord nor the opposition OF employers
and the public can be stamped out by
voluble denunciation.

The Probable Early Return Of Gaynor
and Greene.

On June 81 the Supreme Court OF
Canada gave judgment quashing the
latest appeal of Messn. GAYNoR and
GREENE. Unless they can find some
now wrinkle for prolonging their al
ready unduly extended visit to Canada,
these gentlemen will soon return to the
United States under police escort. The
motion to quash the appeal was made
on behalf Of the United States on the
ground that the appeal was contrary to
good faith, being only another mode of
obtaining discharge on habeas corpus,
and that, inasmuch as it arose out OF
a criminal charge, no appeal could prop
erly be made to the Supreme Court.
Dispatches under date OF June %
report these worthless as occupants of
the Montreal Jail. In view OF the prob
able near approach Of their return to
the United States, unusual attention is
accorded them. A double guard stands
