THE SANTA FEE
 PENSION POLICY.

The Santa Fe railroad has made a very progressive slep forward-a step that should be taken by every oths
 railroad and large corporation in America. The policy recently adopted provides a pension for persons in capacitated while in the employ of the company and for those who. having been in the service of the company for fifteen years. have reached the age of s5. The amount of the pension Is graduated by the number of years of service rendered and ranges from sz0 to s75 a month
 Heretofore all concessions granted to labor by the companies were the result of force oa the part of the workingmen, and this voluntary ac- ton on the part of this great com pany will go far toward settling the industrial strife between capital and labor. First, it will have the effect of securing more efficient service for the company, as laboring men will seek to perform their work well in or der to hold their positions and pro vide for themselves when they are SUI perannuated; second. it will enable the company to pick the best men and always have willing men to do the work: third. it viii go far toward eliminating strikes. and. fourth. it will create an era of good feeling be- tween the employees and the com7c55 and will make the employees proud of the company and encourage them to aid 1t In every way possible. As the matter now stands, trainmen start on their runs anxious for the cars to roll into ttc cad of the division so that they .iI. work; station men go to work in the morning and spend the day watching the clock for the quitting hour, ard the section men lean on their p'rks and waste as much tire rs they can watching the sun go down. This Is human nature and explains why the industrious lqan, the man who is not afraid of work and who does as much as he

HERD OF NEW ELkS
 ENTER LOCAL LODGE Amusing Incidents Connected With Initiation Talked of
 on Streets.

Judging from some of the remarks current on the streets yesterday, the initiation session df the local lodge of Elks on Friday ayening, when sew eral prminent local men were put through the preliminary stunts. was productive of many amusing incl dents. For many reasons the brother who mentioned the incidents to a Re view reporter asked to have his name withheld
 One of the first to deliver himself as lamb to the slaughter was Dr. f. E. SnIne, chief surgeon i0T tiie Copper Queen Mining company and and for the E. P. & s. w. Railroad system. The narrator of what trans pired stated that evidently the com mittee which was delegated to show the doctor the ogres and monsters which appear to ali young Elks. was composed of men who expected at some future time to need the services Of a surgeon, and that it behooved them to treat well the man who might in the future hold the carving tools, while they were stretched on an oper- ating table. dead to the world and suffering from a pain tu the stomach. For this reason it seems that Dr. Shine received his horns without much physical pain.
 The next to toe the mark. it is stated was Fred Sutter, who relied on demurreTs. iniunctions, and wrlts of habeas corpus to save his anatomy from the ravages of the fiends who held the pronged Instruments of tor lure. It Is said that when Sutter had just about reached the middle of an interesting journey, strewn with troubles. he stated that he wished to enjoin his prosecutors from further prosecuting their nefarious work. Sutter received an injunction in the form of something hard and heavy which came in contact with his cran- ium, and was then informed that he had been demurred out of court. The attorney afser that was satisfied to let his tormentors trampIe on his consti- tutional rights and never murmured.
 There were also seveal other can didates who endeayored to stay the unfailing hand of fate with results similar to that experienced by Sutter but as these incidents were commu- nicated confidentially they cannot be printed.

E. U. Beauchamp, general manager of the Gold Belt, came in this week and reports that while doing develop ment work. new lead, nineteen feet wide. of carbonate ore was struck, which averages 3 1-2 per cent copper. It is an ideal teaching proposition and the immensity of the vein guar. antees an inexhaustible supply for years to come. The striking of this new lead was entirely unexpected, which adds additional interest to the company's property. During the past year the Gold Belt company has dem onstrated what can be done in the dis triet by intelligent development work. It commenced work on it's gold leads and then the discovery was made that 1t also had large and rich copper de sosits. which had been overiooke& by former owners. The company is now developing it's copper and gold leads and is making a most remarkable success. Copper ore averaging about 30 per cent is now being shipped, and this last strike of carbonate ore will justify the erection of an immense teaching plant

What the people of Arizona want is a law which will fix basis for tax ing mines that will insure an equal burden on all the producing proper ties in every section of the territory. This can only be done on a basis of the output of bullion or ore. So far as there has been expression mine owners are perfectly willing that such a law should be enacted and if the legislature fails now in the passage of this important measure it will fail in the performance of it's duty. Here tofore there has been no equality in the tax burden borne by mines of Arizona. Some have paid op a much
 higher rate than others. What is wanted is a uniform system of taxa tion which will bear alike on all. It is agreed that the producing mines have not paid just tax in the past, as compared with the burden borne by other classes of property, but it must be borne in mind that the as sessments of last year were much higher than ever before. And while
 placing higher tax burden on mines it must not be forgotten that there are other classes of property which could easily stand a raise. The as- sessment of cash and securities in this territory is thing almost un- heard of While the bank vaults of the territory are buIged with cash and div.dend-payiug stocks. but very little of this wealth is found on the tax rolls. Arizona's mineral industry has just been fairly started and great care should be taken in arranging the new ssx law for mines, so that noth- Ing may be done which will retard fu- ture development. A square deal for the mining and all other industries in Arizona is what the people want.

THE SAN FRANCISCO
 SCHOOL RESOLUTION.

There is really necessity for the Arizona legislature to butt into the
 California-Japanese question. and it
 must be admitted by all that the members of the legislature, in pass. ing the resolution anent the matter, expressed public opinion in Arizona on the question of state rights. That President Roosevelt exceeded his au- thority in attempting to dictate to a sovereign state what 1t should do in school matters is deplorable.
 Steadily, consistently the federal government has been encroaching on the autonomy of the states for years, until it now looks as if the issue will again become a national one and be made campaign cry. If the repub- lican party meets the issue fairly and stands where its sympathies are, that is. in favor of a strong centralized national government, 1t is going to be defeated at the polls. That 1t will make this stand seems inevitable: at feast it is now fighting the matter in the courts and the legislature of Cal ifornia has instructed the attorney general of that state to appear in the circuit court of the United States and support the right of the state to run its own schools without interference from Washington The various state legislatures are passing resolutions commenting the California people, and the resolution turned down by the Arizona council could not be con sidered any greater stTicture than those passed by other sraleR
 If the people of this territory are In favor of state rights, the resolution ought to pass, not for the purpose of skipping the president, but for the purpose oi strengthening Arizons, with the American people and for the purpose of aiding California That state needs bzsp fn the ease. as the case is being tried by federal judge to whom the president has made plain the desire of the administration. In fact, if that federal judge decides against the administration, unless there is powerful influence brought to bear by the states, the chances are that another man will be holding his job at no far distant day. At present there is merely implied coercion from Washington; but that federal judge knows on which side of the bread is spreaa the extract of COW and legis- lature that respects local government should do all it can to arouse public sentiment against such acts on the part of Washington.
 It is not a matter of politics, and in making 1t such the Arizona coun- cil exhibited narrow view of the subject. In fact, in passing the reso- lution unanimously on the first vote the council expressed it's honest opin- ion; and in resembling its action it did much to show the people of the territory that it held party interests above principle.

Copper bullion is so plentiful in the southwest that it stopped trafic on the El Paso and Southwestern tracks yesterday for nine hours, during which time a large force of workmen were busily engaged in clearing the road to allow the regular passenger service on the line to continue.
 Four miles this side of Hermanos on Thursday a freight car on an east bound train broke journal in conse- quence of the heavy load of copper in the car. The train was going at a good rate of speed at the time and the result was that several cars were piled up, copper bullion being scatter ed over the tracks in all directions.
 When the Drummers' Special ar rived on the scene Thursday night the work of clearing up the wreckage was SO far from completed that it was decided to lay over at Hermanos dur ing the night Two coaches were dropped on and the other two were al tached to the regular day train from Eg Paso. the belated passenger arriv- ing in this city yesterday afternoon abo1t { o'clock

The Male Gossip.

When you hear of a gossip,
You naturally think of woman
but, if statistics we're possible,
it would be discovered that the
majority of the gossips belong
to the tothermost sex. Every
town is literally supplied with
bewhiskered gossips who are
happiest when relating with
embellishments the sickening
details of family scandals, or
attaching regulations of more
useful and more industrious
world. They are the cause of a
good deal of trouble in TIE
world. Some of the institutions
of the old days were not SO bad,
after all, long ago, the rude
foretathers of the hamlet had
the ducking stool and the pill
lery; the former tor gossiping
gentleman. In all probability.
il the male gossip we're con-
firmed in the pillory for half a
day, while the people he
maligned pelted him with hen
fruit and dead cats, he would

and take his tongue out of train.

Seemed that mother only cared
For the simple things of life;
Seemed that mother never shared
In the turmoil and the strife,

Little socks that once were worn,
And little bow Of blue;
There's little nightie. torn,

As to the Plug Train

Another change OF the moon
has taken place and simuItane-
ously the Missouri Pacific has
changed its passenger traip SER
vice for this division.

here as the "Daisy Dean" and
which was changed from here to
Falls City about year ago, has
been placed to this point and as
in former years it starts from here
and makes the round "Trip to Oma-
ha daily, with the exception that
the Sunday train is cut out,
The runs around from Omaha
to Weeping Water and back have
also been cut out. The Missouri
Pacific officials claim that they
have been forced to take this ac-
ton as measure of retrenchment
owing to the fact that the 2.cent
fare law and the agitation has
made the service from Falls City
Improbable.
The merchants do not like the
change, for although it will bring

The Origin Of the Observance Of
Christmas Day.


ing forward to the celebration OF
the greatest festival of the Chris
tian year, it is interesting 10 recall
few circumstance in connection
with its origin. Few subjects
should have n greater fascination
to the earnest and intelligent
christian than the events we com.
memorate on the 25th of Decem
Der; but so familiar do we get to
be with our annual customs that
this celebration becomes more and
more meaningless, and, once the
curiosity of childhood is satisfied,
we view with matter of-fact com.
posure even customs which are in
sepafable from Christian life
II is startling fact that we owe
our celebration ol Christmas, on
tie 25th day of December in each
year, to Il purely pagan custom.
In the Roman calendar, that day
was the day of the winter solstice,
when the sun appeared to stand
still before retracting its course.
The old Persian worshippers
therefore dedicated it to Mithra,
their Sun.god, rs "The birthday
of the unconquered Sun.
The sun worship spread during
the earliest christian times from
the east, slowly westward into
Rome, where it encountered the
energy of the christian faith. Soon
this energy was discovered to be
developing, growing and extend
ing, until emperor in his palace,
and peasant in his humble abode
were both found kneeing in sup.
plcation to the one God
Then, in the fourth century of
our era, the followers of the Christ
child conceived the idea of trans
forming Pagan rite into a Chris
tian ceremony, and they univers-
ally celebrated the birth of Christ
on the day formally dedicated by
the heather to their god, The
unconquered Sun" Thus it was
easy for the converted and trans
formed fire worshippers to ac-
knowledge that season as Christ
mas, because they had previously
been in the habit of doing so as
pagans.
A holy and nightly practical
Specification was given to the
idolatrous ceremonies of the rude
sun worshippers, and, where be-
fore, the earnest, but misled AS
iatic bowed down in alteration be-
fore the created sun, hand-in-haud
with his christian brother, he
learnt to kneel in intelligent piety
before the Creator of the sun
which before time had received
his devotions.
May it not be, that as the old,
time heather has been overtaken
by this religion of the Babe of
Bethlehem so it shall be pro-
phecy of that more glorious tri-
umph of the MAN of Nazareth"
when men shall be found coming
from THE east, and the west, the
north and the SOUTH and with
united voice, and hearts thrilling
with a never dying devotion, they
will swell the anthem which shall
fill heaven and earth, the burden
of which anthem shall be,
Well join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of All. "
