Christmas in the Air.

Sixteen days more, and then Christmas.
It's spirit is now in the air. It's softening
influence is getting a grip on the hearts of
the children OF larger growth-men and
women That is really the best thing
Christmas does. 1t is at this season when
are warmed the cookies of hearts that
have been chilled and shrunk by the cold
selhshness that the strife and struggle OF
existence entail. But when the Christmas
spirit strikes the air the latent good in
human nature is kindled into flame and
the whole being glows with warmth and
trembles with tenderness. Il is then we
realize the truth of the assertion Of Him
who died for love of mankind that 1T is

Journalism in Texas.

Col. William Greene Sterett, the Texas
journalist of national repute. who is at
tending as a delegate the deep waterways
relates an experience which he
says was typical Of the early journalism
OF ais State. In an election melee at the
polls in a county near Dallas. the sheriff
OF the county. two Of his deputies, and
five or six private citizens were shot TO
death. AS a news story the killing was
OF great interest TO the readers OF Texas
newspapers. even in that day Col Sterett
was responsible for the news service Of
the paper with which he was then the
managing editor. and he promptly tele-
graphed his local correspondent at the
scene Of bloodshed to wire full particulars
early that night.
IN those days, said Col. Sterett yester-
day, newspaper men in Texas knew bet
ter than 70 guess at such things. Exper-
fence had made them cautious. To spare
themselves from the unpleasantness Of "A
scrape, they were careful to give
only the bare facts Of official knowledge.
Unlike the Eastern newspaper men, they
never INDUCED in conjectures and specula-
tions as TO who were the guilty parties
They waited for all OF the facts to be de-
vel0ped by the cOTOner's inquest or the
public trial in court before Venturing 10

nary deeds like this. But I thought the
affray of which 1 am speaking was OF
such p:,hiio notoriety that my local cor
respondent would feel embC.dened 10

when late at night / received from him
this brief dispatch;

than any other feature. This is admitted
ly a tremendous power to lodge In any de-
partment Of the government. But it may
be truly said that as the powers of the
corporations are enormous and far-Teach-

to control them. If there is to be Federal
regulation of corporations. there must be
a Federal authority adequate to the task.
We cannot brush away corporate abuses

PAPA CUAHA CONSENTED
TO MARRIAGE OF TOO1S

Examiner-Clarence C. Cunha, 10
years old, a student at the University
of California. and an athlete. got his
license to marry Miss Marion D. Sterl-
ing. Several days ago this document
was refused on account of Cunha's ten
der years. But yesterday the young
man poked his fathers consent into
the cupid's face, paid the fee and got
the paper.
The bride to be is a sister of George
D. Sterling, the poet and a niece of
Frank Havens of the Realty Syndicate.
Cunha is the son of a sugar planter,
who possesses more money than he
knows what to do with. Miss Sterl-
ing's people are also wealthy.
When Cunha asked the guardians
of the beautiful Miss Sterling few
weeks ago to give their consent to the
marriage they told him that he must
first demonstrate his ability to earn
at least $3.50 per month. He got
cIerkship at $175 per month with the
Realty Syndicate in Oakland. Please
forget Miss Sterling's people are the
Realty Syndicate people. Love didn't
have much trouble finding way.
