When the Day Is Rich.

The air of Christmas is exhaled.
not inhaled. The spirit of the day
radiates rather than centers. The
season is rich for us as it moves US
TO give to others and forget our
selves. This, whether we feel the
all-inclusive genialty of Dickens or
not.
We shall find no better way TO OBJ
serve Christmas than by giving to
the poor. All our love for our own
viii not make the day a success
by itself. We must give to those
whose only claim is that they are
our fellows. But we should be none
the less watchful not TO give un-
wisely. We should not be willing
that the forward and impudent
should crowd the unassuming out
of the day.
Why not, then, seek out a poor
family and carry the spirit of Christ
mas into their home? An agent of
the Associated Charities will be your
guide for the asking. II is worth a
trial-and you viii get nearer to
heaven in the operation than you
have been for, maybe, a long, long
time.

ONE MAN IS ALL
INDIAN GIRL ASKS
Sally Me-to Tells Fate of
Squaw Who Leaves
Husband.

LEWISTON. Idaho, Dec, 22.-That the
marital relationships among the Neg
Perce Indians are highly respected was
stoutiy affirmed in the probate court
yesterday, when Sally Me-to was placed
on the stand to testify in the contest
over the estate of Fanny Moody.
Two Indians. Ea-ton-e-met and Benja-
min Hines. are claiming relationship to
the deceased through two bucks, with
whom. it is alleged, the deceased at dif-
ferent times made her home.
A sharp No" was the response Sally
Me-to made to the query whether or no
IL was formerly the custom for a squaw
to have more than one husband at the
same time. Asked if an Indian woman
who returned to her first love after liv-
ing for some time with a second would
be received with open arms, she ex-
planned that if she were taken back it
would be in a spirit Of revenge. The
red man would soon leave her, she de-
clared and the woman would then be
in contempt with all the tribe.
Sally Me-to insisted that Indian
women live with their husbands because
they love them, and when they are cast
aside il is forever.

A New Year Trade Lesson.

Williamsport, Pa, claims a popu-
lation OF about 10000 persons. 1t is
the capital of nothing but Lycoming
county, and depends for its victuaIs,
as we'll as its beauty, on its own en-
terprise. 1t fares well. The reason
why is evident in what follows:
1t has a board of trade, like Wash
ingtOn. 1t has concluded that book
lets, advertising the city and its ad-
vantages to the business investor,
would be good for its people, like
Washington. In year it has issued
twelve separate publications, rang

increase of rs per cent in the capt.

beautifully printed book of 120 pages
describing, "Williamsport-the Ideal

lets more interesting, would be hard
to find, even IN this day of photo
photographic catalogues and pro-
moters' announcements. But there
is room to cite the substance of only
one. 1t is entitled:

Specifications Needed.

In an address some time ago,
Judge Peter 5. Grosscup, Of Chi
cago, promulgated the phrase
'peopleization of the trusts" That
word 'peOPleize" looked good at a
casual glance But on inquiry as to
the judges plan, it developed that
he proposed to ''Peopleize" the
trusts by having the people buy
their stocks, and thus distribute
ownership.
Now, if the people don't own the
trusts now in this sense, who does d?
The people can't manage the trusts,
OF the railroads. That function
must be delegated. The people must
give their proxies to somebody. If
they should start out seriously to
buy more of the stocks of the
trusts, and thus further ''peopleize''
them, the result would merely be
4 huge boom iu trust stocks, and at
the end Of the operation the people
would have taken on at fancy prices
some more billions of undigested Sc
curities now held by the high finan-
Ciers; the financiers would have the
money (and the management and
the people would have the stock.
Judge Grosscup, in his Springfield
address Friday evening. urged that
no practical results are being ac-
complished at present in the contest
between the people and the eorpor-
ate powers. 1t must be admitted
that tangible results are slow; but
the distinguished jurist certainly
fails TO suggest a program of re-
form that viii accomplish more.
What is wanted, he tells us. is the
spirit of genuine reform-a genuine
peoples movement that will not Law
down its arms until the battle of
corporate reform is won"
Very fine and handsome. But the
judge doesn't want a Federal Hcens-
ing plan; doesn't think more Fed
eral power is necessary; thinks eff
forts 10 limit swollen fortunes are
useless; finds no value in prosecu-
uOns of particular corporations.
Everything that is doing appeals to
him as wrong; and the generaIiza-
tion of spirit of genuine reform"
is all he offers as a substitute. The
judge viii have to be more specific.

For a Greater Navy.

Mr.. Justice Harlan. in an interview
with a Times representative. talked OF
many subjects, the most striking
statement being a declaration in favor
Of a large United States navy.
II am strongly in favor of this
country" said the justice having a
navy large enough and powerful
enough to protect our interests. and
to let all the balance of the world
know that it will be no trihing thing
for any nation to trihe with this coun-
try. There are no possible dangers
that can come to the American people
from having such a navy. The rea-
sons which exist against the creation
of an enormous army do not apply to
preparations for the navy"
