Some idea of the honest of the polt
ical scavengers at the state capitol
may be learned from the fact, that
twenty members of the labor force
were discharged just before the civil
service nonsen-e went into effect
ostensibly in behalf of economy. but
others were Immediately employed in
their stead Of which nc mention is
made. 1t has since been learned, thai
those discharged were friendly to the
gubernatorial cane idacy Of one jim
Davidson, while those engaged to take
their places were roOters for Lenroot.
thus the people learn that the state
treasury is being used TO foster tn,
candidacy of an individual as it ha~
been for the past five years.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER q. 1906.

Walter Wellman, writing from
Washington, tells of a conspiracy upon
the part of the senate to down the
president AMI defeat his plans to
name his successor in the presidential
chair. The writer does not believe
that President Roosevelt is using the
immense influence Of his Office for any
such end. He may have and has a
right to have preference the same a.
any private, citizen, but has too good
judgment to exercise the power vesteC
in him to seek to dictate the next re-
publican nomination for the presi-
dency. If the members of the senate
enter into such conspiracy aud en-
pect TO win, defeating legislation rec
commended by the president in the in
terest of the people, they will make a
great mistake and add to his popular
ity, rather than the defeat of IS plans
if he has any, which is very doubtful
The disgruntlcd senators should bear
in mind that there is much political
independence existing in this country.
more than at any period in its history
Party lines have about been obliterated
by federal civil service and primar,
election laws. in several states and par
tisanshipiis fast becoming thing Of the
past. Parties are disintegrating rapid
ly and there is no doubt in the mind
of the writer but there will be new DO
litical alignments before the next ma
tional campaign. Already. both parties
are badly divided on national issues
and the president has the sympathy OF
a large majority, and it will be difficult
to prejudice them against him or an,
man who will carry out his Views
The senators should go slow. for there
is nearly three years between now and
the next national republican conven-
ii IN and should congress do its duty
and enact laws in behalf of the people
and not in the interest OF the trusts
and combines. it is barely possible
that republican senator NAV be
chosen as the party standard bearer.
. The results last fall in the several
state and metropolitan centers should
open their eyes to the conditions which
eUofronts our party and which may
contribute to lis defeat.

Every true republican who is proud
Of his state and appreciates every in
Il fence that tends to bring honor upon
the commonwealth and give it "a stand
ing amoLg the states, must be proud
of our SeniO" senator at Washington.
He is the close friend aud advisor OF
the president as he was of his prede-
cessor. the lamented Mckinley. He
stands high in the esteem of his assO-
ciates who recognize in him a man Of
extraordinary ability and of unswerv-
ing honesty and integrity. who stands
for the right because it is right. He
is cautious and conservative, that no
injustice may be done TO any interest
and that all be fairly dealthout with as
far as national Legislation is concerned.
A safe man, who would make an ideal
successor for President Roosevelt.

now and then puts in an appearance,
his big plated straw hat, long pigtail,

pours down upon 1t all day long, and
the unceasing glare adds to its ugli-

Bethlehen-Town

As l was going to Bethlehem Town.
Upon the earth / cast me down
All underneath little tree
That whispered in this wise to me:
"Oh, shall stand on Calvary
And bear what burthen saveth thee!"
AS up Jared to Bethlehem Town,
met a shepherd coming down,
And thus he quoth: "A wondrous sight
Hath spread before mine eyes this night
An angel host most fair to see.
That sung full sweetly Of tree
That shall uplift on Calvary
What burthen sayeth you and mel!
And as I gat to Bethlehem Town,
Lo! wise men came that bore crown.
@'Is there" cried I, Sin Bethlehem
A King shall wear this diadem?"
"Good sooth," they quoth, "and 1t Is He
That shall be lifted on the tree
And freely shed on Calvary
What blood redeemeth us and thee"
Unto a child in Bethlehem Town
The wise men came and brought the
crown;
And while the infant smiling slept,
Upon their knees they fell and wept;
But, with her babe upon her knee.
Naught rocked that mother Of the tree
That should uplift on Calvary
What burthen saveth all and me.
Again walk IN Bethlehem Town
And think on Him that wears the crown,
I may not kiss His feet again,
Nor worship Him as l did then;
MY King hath died upon the tree,
And hath outpoured on Calvary
What blood redeemeth you and me!

The Christmas Star

A little Star all undismayed
Stepped down the dusky ways OF night;
White-footed, smiling, unafraid,
1t passed the orbs Of greater light.
1t held its slender taper high,
The tiny splendors piercing far.
1t knew its time to shine was nigh;
For 10! 1t was the Christmas Star.
A little child knelt In the dark,
With clear eyes raised and lifted face,
She saw the tiny travelling spark
Move on from its appointed place.
The tears welled so she scarce could see,
Its orb of brightness grew a bar.
Mother" she cried, 1T comes to me,
1T kissed my seyes-the Christmas
Start
God knows that both these things are
one
The star that shines, the eye that sees
The answer to the prayer is shown
Unto the sinner on HIS knees
On the long lanes Of splintered light
Descends the shining avatar:
But only tears of pure delight
Could bring the holy Christmas Star.

Christmas

The silent skies are full of speech
For who hath ears to hear;
The winds are whispering each to each
The moon is calling to the beach,
And stars their sacred wisdom teach
or faith and love and fear
But once the sky the silence broke,
And song oerfiowed the earth;
The midnight air with glory shook,
And angels mortal language spoke.
When God our human nature took
In Christ, the Saviors birth.
And Christmas once is Christmas still;
The gates through which He came,
And forests wild and murmuring rill,
And fruitful field and breezy hill.
And all that else the wide world fill.
Are vocal with His name.
Shall we not listen while they sing
This latest Christmas morn;
And music hear In everything,
And faithful lives In tribute bring
10 the great song which greets the King,
ayha comes when Christ Is born?
