1t is by discussing these matters of

would commend this practice to those
who wish to get the benefit of the
knowledge of men of affairs, men who
are daily brought in touch with the
perplexing questions of county and
state affairs, for by such contact. they
will have their views broadened and
will also learn that bright original

dligent investigation. while those not
possessing "a bright original idea are
so possessed with their own pre-con-
ceved views, that facts are held by
them in contempt, and the opinion OF

MOST gratifying progress is still be-
ing made in the work of construction
on the great ship canal across the
isthmus of Panama, and better appre-
citation of this progress is secured by
comparisons of results accomplished
under French management and since
the operations have been under the
control of American management.
From 1881 to 1904 the French companies
excavated in all, including diversion
cuts, about 70, 500, 900 cubic yards. From
the beginning of May, 1904, to the end
of October, 1907, the Americans have
excayated nearly "a per cent more rap
idly than did the French. The contrast
is heightened by the consideration that
the work now done, yard for yard, is
much harder than it was, and is steadl-
ly growing harder. Moreover, Amerl-
cans have done vast amount of auXil-
liary work, roadmaking, paving, sewer
laying, swamp clearing and draining
and waterworks construction, which the
French did not undertake at all.

The Restoration of Chrisfmss.

Evening Wisconsin.
The nearer the Christmas holiday APP
proaches, the more feverish grow the
pulses of those who are preparing for
wholesale observance of gift-giving.
Many of them began early; all of them
have labored hard; yet those there are
who will not have finished their prepa-
rations by the 25th, and some Of whose
gifts will reach their destination tardily.
MANY woman who has had Christmas
IN her mind for weeks and has been
giving herself to the business of max
ing and purchasing Christmas gifts has
wrought so zealously that when Christ
mas comes she will be too tired out to
go to church.
Yet Christmas is essentially religi-
Gus not secular holiday. The secular,
the frivolous, the material side of its
observance has grown so vast as to
overshadow it's spiritual significance.
Is it right that children should grow up
knowing of Christmas only as day OF
gormandizing and giving and receiving
presents. Is it not high time that
those having regard for sobriety and
sanity of living should exert themselves
for the restoration of the true spirit OF
Christmas?
All this is not to argue that gift-giv-
ing on Christmas should be altogether
done away with, or that cheerfulness
should be banished, as it was in Puritan
days. The children might have their
trees and gifts within the bounds of
reason but not in foolish profusion, and
grown people shoG'd not neglect the
beautiful and appropriate custom of
making Christmas gifts to institutions
and to the poor. But indiscriminate and
lavish gift-giving at Christmas has be-
come burden and WEAKNESS, besides
tending to obscure the primary mean
ing of the day which is associated with

The WeSf'S financial Revelation.

In the vaults OF the Western banks
are securities based on the things peo-
pie must eat and use. on the contents
of cold-storage buildings and warehous-
es that will soon be needed. As these
goods are purchased they will be paid
for, and the banks will gee their money.
Bright skies and commercial activity
should hlst come where szsch conditions
exist. So long as the sen shines and
the rain falls on the fertile acres of the
West, financial distress cannot long con-
tinue. A large portion Of the past sea-
sons produce is yet in the bin. IL is not
such crop as that of 1895, but with
the higher prices prevailing 1t is esti-
mated to be worth more money. The
farmers, looking at this and considering
the newly planted wheat which is going
into winter in excellant condition
throughout the Southwest. are unable
to find cause for pessimism. 1t is per-
haps not bad thing for the West to
have been awakened out of its sectional
self sutficeney and to have it brought
home sharply that this ration is one in
business and finance, as it is in political
organization. When normal conditions
are restored, there ought to be accepted
a broader and more helpful sympathy
between East and West. a realization
that will have strong influence in the
safer adjustment of mutual interests
The West has had striking object les
son in national finance, sharing its rev
elation with the East, which perhaps
underestimate its dependence on the
nation $ granary. Both should gain an
experience not to be forgotten. - From
''rhe Vests Financial Revelations, "
by Charles M. Harger, in the American
Review of Reviews for December.

the birth Of the Savior. 1t IL burden
some to recipients of gifts as well as
to dispensers of them, for independent
people do not relish resting under obi
cations, yet may not always be able to
make prompt or satisfactory returns.
Amusingly out of harmony with true
Christian and Christmas feeling is the
spirit in which Christmas gifts between
adults are sometimes exchanged. There
are women who will exhibit gift from
friend with such exclaE. atoms as,
"See what she sent me!'' II wonder
what she thought I'd do with that 70
1T didn't cost half as much as what

No wonder that there is a growing
sentiment in favor of simpler and
saner Christmas in favor of the restor-
alton of the day to its true significance.

The Selection Of National Convention
Delegates.

The controversy that has been going
on in the National Republican Committee
led by Congressman Cooper, over the
Wisconsin law relative to the election of
delegates to the national convention
has evoked much interest. In connec-
ton with the same subject we print
the following letter to the Milwaukee
Free Press:
ELECTION or NATIONAL DELEGATES.
To THE EDITOR: There has been
some criticism of the state department
because the recently complied primary
election law pamphlet does not contain
the statute relating to the election of
delegates to national conventions. This
has arisen from a general misunder-
standing of the law. Section ll-26, Wis
consin statutes, provides for The election
of delegates to national party conven-
tons by direct vote of the people This
is no part of TIE primary election law.
The candidates for delegates are nomi-
mated by nomination papers. Delegates
to national conventions will le elected
next year at the April election in the
same manner that judges of the circuit
and supreme courts are elected.
The form of the ballot however, is
different, as the election of delegates
is strictly party matter. The ballots
are arranged as for primary election,
to-wit. the several party tickets are
fastened together ut the top. A voter
takes the bunch of tickets into the
booth. If he be republican, he will
tear off the republican ticket and mark
the names of the men that he desires to
represent him in the republican national
convention. This ticket he votes and
the other tickets are placed in box pre-
pared for that purpose. Each voter is
given all the party tickets and he deter
mines for himself to what party he be-
longs. He may vote any ticket he chooS-
es. but he may not vote for one delegate
to the republican convention and for
another delegate to the democratic CON
vention. 1t is not a primary election.
for the reason that the delegates are
elected, not nominated, at the sDrinc
election. The assistant secretary OF
state, in compiling the primary election
law, very properly omitted the statute
providing for the election of delegates
to party national conventions by direct
vote of the people. 1t had no place in
that pamphlet. The primary election
law is a nominating law. The sections
of the statutes relating TO this matter
viii be found in the compilation of cleo
ton laws soon TO be issued.
