Sioux Falls, s. D., Dec. 25.-F'I am

for the free admission of lumber. If
1t were within my power to introduce

L would do SO at once, but all such
measures must originate in the house. "
Senator A. B. Kittredge, who has re-
turned from Washington to spend the
holidays, spoke as above quoted in an
interview in reference to his resolution
for the investigation Of the lumber
trust.
After the holidays the senator ex-
poets. to address the senate at some
length on his resolution for the in

believes it will be passed and that a
full and comprehensive Investigation
will be the result Of it, Sc says:
~ am getting many letters every
day urging me to push this matter and
thanking me for the efforts I have
made to relieve the lumber consumers
of the country. These letters come
not only from South Dakota, but from
nearly every station in the union.
II believe that the lumber combina-
ton comes closer to the average person
than any other trust in the country.
Frequently in the past two years I have
tried to get the department of COM
merce and labor to investigate the lum-
Der, business but little if anything was
done, and I decided to focus public at
tention upon the subject by introducing
the resolution il question: The in

The. price of lumber has about doubled
in the last five years. This means that
a state which is being rapidly settled
and which must do a vast amount of
building is hit harder than the older
states which are making much smaller

,"What about the tariff on lumber?
I can answer that in a word. I am in
favor Of the removal Of the tariff on
lumber, and If I ever get chance to
vote on this question, I will vote for

matter ever comes before the senate

to know that I intend to vote for it.

illustrates the complaint made against
American justice by lawyers and judges
that it is practically impossible to exc

Christmas,

Christmas may or may not be a re-
production of the pagan festival of the
birth of the new year, when the sun
after crossing the line daily creeps
higher and higher in the heavens and
rewarms the earth to blossoms and
fruitfulness. Even if it were connected
by tradition with the revival of the
growing period of the earth, improved
and civilized man has read into it
higher fruitfulness, the fruitfulness of
moral and spiritual growth. 1t is in
dissolubly connected now with peace
on earth and good will to men. :. G hris-
tianity has let in a flood of light and
warmth, on the; winter of the human
heart. Tt has made charity to bloom
perennially. It has established Justice
on the foundation of, Individual rights.
It has enthroned brotherly love where
formerly reigned the doctrine Of the
world for the strongest. The greatest
civil contribution Of Christianity to
the world has been the security of
human rights. Under Christian insti-
tt1tions we have social order. We have
security in the pursuit of happiness.
We have free thought, free speech, free
press. We have universal. education.
We have altruistic lgislation which
makes against child labor, and against
oppression of all kinds. It has reduced
war to last resort, where anciently it
was first recourse. It has fought an
everlasting fight against the degrade
tions of poverty, overwork, underfeed-
ing and insufficient necessaries Of life.
Let Christmas take the lowest place
that can be assigned it by the non
believer and yet it is starting point
of life, new revival Of the powers of
nature. Let it take the highest place
assigned it by the believer and it is
again starting point of growth, men,
tai, moral and spiritual. Let not the
believer complain of the attitude of the
non-believer, because their ideas are
not antagonistie. The Christmas bells

Oscar as the Friend of Peace.

In a recent interview, G. A. Smith
of this city is quoted as saying that
to King Oscar belongs the credit of
averting war between Sweden and Nor
way at the time Of the union crisis.
While there! were other strong infu-
ences at work to prevent such a catas-
trophe, there can be- no doubt that
King Oscar's infexible determination
to permit no declaration Of war or any
action on Sweden's part looking to-
ward war, was the most potent single
influence in averting hostilities. I'll Q
Journal IS staff representative in
Scandinavia at the time made this fact
very clear in his correspondence. It
was repeatedly pointed out that the
good old king, hurt tho he was by Nor
ways action, was resolutely determined
that no war between the brother folk
should sully his long and peaceful reign.
1t was no easy matter for him to take
and maintain this attitude, for the
crown prince, the Swedish nobility and
most of the members Of his court fa7
vored t tff II arms against NoTWaY,

tial. But the king stood firm and solid
flied the royal family at his back. r..
It is a striking fact that the other
potent influence for peace in Sweden
was welded by, the men who stood at
the other end Of the social scale the
workingmen. The Swedish socialist
party, composed entirely of the work
ingmen Of the great industrial centers,
like Stockholm, Malmoe and Gothen-
burg, was unitedly, against war; It
announced openly that declaration of
war would be followed by a general
strike that would paralyze all the in.
dustries of the country and, prevent
military preparations. The success @of
a general political strike In Stockholm
undertaken to emphasize the demand
for extension of the, suffrage, had shown
that this was no idle threat.
And, Of course, there was the strong
influence Of the powers Of Europe
against war in the north. This infu
ence was not so openly exerted, and
the truth about it may never be made
known. AS for Norway, war was the
last thing she wanted. She had taken
her stand on separation and the first
overt act must come, if it came at all
from the Swedish side Of the border
The sum of all these influences, hap
PLY, was sufficient to bring about q
