DO YOUR BUYING NOW.

The Christmastide is here. The
spirit of giving is abroad. The same
same spirit of good cheer that is
accorded to those we hold most
dear should be extended in part, at
least. to all those whose duty it
is to work the hardest in Christmas
time.
The prosperity OF the past year is
reflected in the holiday buying, but
there is one more thing that can be
done to add to the Joyousness of the
Christmas time. Try to make a
Christmas of good cheer for the ov-
erworked salespeople by buying
presents early in advance of Christ
mas day This will avoid the rush
that is usually incidental to the last
few days before Christmas.
The salespeople are always over
worked at this season of the year and
are entitled to consideration in the
fulfillment of the Christian motto,
Peace on Earth, Good Will to
Men"

CLAIMS IL Is MEANNESS.
Vatican Surprised at French Gov
ernments Action.

ROME, Dec. 1.-THE expulsion
from France of Monsignor Montag-
ginni, secretary Of the papal nunci-
allure at Paris, who has represented
the vatican at the French capital
since the recall of the nuncio, has
caused not only establishment, but
also CONSERVATION at the vatican.
According to vatican officials.
this step is evident proof that the
French government wishes not only
TO strike at the church as a relig-
ious institution, but to represent il
to be the enemy of the republic and
to be allied with the republics foes.
Furthermore the officials char
acterized this step as taken in a
spirit of meanness, as the French
government knows the vatican can
not, because of its position, indulge
in similar action as a reprisal upon
the individual who is looking after
French interests at Rome.

CHRISTMAS BUYING.

Let us remember right now that
peace and good will may have a
place in our Christmas buying as
we'll as in the spirit of Christmas day
itself.
To many people the giving of gifts
and the receiving of them is the
larger part of the Christmas observ-
ance.
But even they may find peace and
express good will in the buying of
their gifts-peace for themselves in
purchasing, and good will not alone
TO those for whom the gifts are
bought, but to that great army of
salespeople who are cruelty rushed
by the hordes of late Christmas buy
ers.
Christmas is less than a month
away.
Most of the buying of Christmas
presents can be done better three or
four weeks in advance of the holiday
than it can when the crush has be-
gun.
Those who do their purchasing
now will find a better assortment
from which to make their selections.
The clerks will have more time to
devote to each customer, which is
important in helping one to find just
what one wants.
In the crush of business that
comes just before the holidays the
store managers are helpless to re-
duce the strain.
All persons connected with the
great retail establishments are
worked to the point of exhaustion
and beyond.
Most people are like other animals.
They flock together and all want
to do the same thing at the same
time
1t Is amazing how few people look
ahead, even a week or two-even to
so great an event as Christmas.
Most of the Christmas buying is
done in the last few days of wild
rush, just as though people had
learned only at the last moment that
Christmas was coming.
But there is constantly growing
number Of wiser ones who get in
ahead of the mob, make their pur-
chases liesurely and comfortably AMI
get them delivered promptly ard
without vexation or damage.
More such foresight as this would
do much to make the approach of
Christmas pleasanter to everybody

at the state department to make rep
reservations concerning the Salton
Sea and to request the state de-
partment to make a demand upon
the Mexican government to immedi-
ately repair the damage done at the
outlet of the Imperial canal. While
watering lands of California the
canal has its intake out from the
Colorado river on the Mexican side
of the international boundary, and

the break in the river is due to the
failure of the Mexican government
to xercise proper supervision of the

REPCDIATES MUNICIPAL OWN.
ERSHIP.

Sweeping changes in London, in
the municipal elections are now
known 70 be the result OF dissatis-
3acton with the extrayagances that
have accompanied the conduct Of
public utilities by local authorities,
rather than Widespread dissatisfac-
Iion with the liberal government
The bursting OF the municipal
bubble has been a rude awakening
for London workingmen, but it was
brought about by the realization that
the increased rents they are paving
are the direct result of extravaganza
IN the conduct of municipal owner
ship schemes. These extravagances
increased the taxes, and landlords
made up this increase in fixed charg-
es in the only way open 10 them
they raised rents on their tenants.
London's public deb, increased
rs per cent in ten years. The tax
rate has been going up steadily un-
I'll in 1905 it was more than half of
the rent rate. When the people
awoke TO the fact that municipal
ventures in light plants, tramways,
water works. homes for the work
ing classes, and few trading opera
tions, such as the manufacture and
sale OF paving stones and the opera
tion of the Thames river steamers,
were responsible for exorbitan7
taxes and high rents, and that they
were paving directly for all of these
ill-adyised experiments, the reaction
came.
The result was Overwhelming in
Favor OF the party of municipal re-
formers, who won total of 1,101
OF the 1862 seats and complete con-
troll of % of the % boroughs. Moth
ing SO sweeping has ever been seen
in London elections as this reversal
of the policy entered upon so blithe-
ly ten or a dozen years ago
There was not only extravaganza,
but there was graft, and the exigen-
cies of politics made it impossible to
check either-impossible for those
in power, but possible for the arous-
ed people who. armed with the bal
lot, have brought about a change of
conditions with startling suddenness.
The workingmen of the largest city
in the world, with the most unwield-
" municipal government in the
I'D, would have won victory for
selves.
