THE MEANEsT MAN.

To our mind the meanest man is
not the assassin who shadows some
marked victim and in a darkened
spot lays him low without a chance
OF defending himself; he is not the
bank wrecker, who steals the funds
entrusted TO him and leaves widow
and the fatherless in restitution;
neither is he the man who perjures
himself in order that he may place
guilt upon the innocent; nor is he any
other of the multifarious criminals
who in many ways may violate the
laws of God and man. In our opinion
this meanest of men is he who tells
innocent childhood that the sweetest
Of childish traditions-Santa Claus
is a delusion and a snare. And almost
equally as mean as he is the man who
would deliberately preach the Cos
pei OF a cherries Christmas for
grown-ups as well.
In describing the Christmas we
would know if these hearuess icono-
clasts would receive recognition the
Kansas City Journal aptly calls it
'Denatured Christmas" And that's
just what it would be-denuded Of its
indescribable charm for children and
deYitalized of its comforting influence
for older years. Why, how could we
get along without Christmas? Already
we are so sordid in our ideas as to re
ceive the sneers of the older civilized
states of the world because of our
lack of appreciation Of the better
things of earth. Christmas is a day
with the American without which he
cannot well get along. With its joys
Of c6Urse comes 7ITs soTT0ws. Maybe
these latter are the more accentuated.
But anyway there is still enough
good feeling generated over the world
and nowhere more so than in Amer
ica-by the holiday season as to jus
tify its continuance, And to take from
childhood that sweetest Of Joys that
comes 10 human in his cycle of years
the anticipation and realization Of
a visit from the patron saint Of Christ
mas-would be crime and the ulti-
mate unpardonsbIe sin.
The country win not listen to those
babbling so-called intellectuals who
decry the custom Of deceiving child
hood for the deception is 50 lacking
Of malice, and, on the oth-r hand. is
so productive of joy, that none win
forego II.
Long rule Santa Claus and long
browse his RENDERS.

a powerful innuencs over the country
at large.
Davis is . typical politician Of the
new southern school. He cannot rest
supinely when anything Is going on Of
moment He is aggressive and his ag
gressiveness is displayed both in fight
ing his enemies and In working for
his friends. He has never known de-
feat since his meteoric career began
some ten years ago IN Arkansas,
while many OF the ablest Of those
whom he has in his picturesque cam
paigns called the silk stocking fel-
lows" have been brushed aside by
him. Through his influence James X
Jones, leader Of the national demo
Gratis for SO many years. and a strong
man in Arkansas. was defeated for re
election by the present senior senator
from that state, James p. Clarke Dav-
e noe .a,nnine Cor onvarnnr in the
same campaign but he practically neg
lected his own interests and made
the fight in behalf of Clarke the feat
ure OF that campaign. Clarke was
easily the victor. He, himself, is an
able man and is given high recogni-
ton by the minority in the senate.
The secret OF Davis success in Ar
kansas is and has always been his
fight on trusts and other combina-
tons which he regarded as inimical
to the interests Of the people of the
state at large. His strength was in

equally as great and have stood by
him through all the desperate efforts
the opposition have made to displace
him.
- He is in every sense a commoner
and his friends insist that he has
been sincere in fighting the battles
Of the common people. In his career
he has said many rash things and
done many things that were, to say
the least, most unusual and most in
formal, but they were Davisesque,

The fight in the republican national
committee over the place where the
convention should be held next year
is believed to be a straw showing
which way the political wind will be
blowing when the republican conven-
ton meets. It is asserted that the
ant-Roosevelt sentiment predominant
ed strongly in this committee meet
ing and that the "favorite sons" were
found closely allied in keeping the
convention away from Kansas City
because" of the supposed strength Of
Secretary Taft in Missouri.

renewal of effort on the part of

According to the rules laid down
governing the republican national
convention next year only two dele

Heretofore Arizona has been allowed
six delegates. We fear that our re-

NOW WHAT?

Now that President Roosevelt has
come out with a positive declaration
10 the effect that he win not accept
the nomination for the presidency
again, what viii be the policy of the
federal officials throughout the coun-
try who have been organizing Roose-
welt leagues with the purpose of con
trolling state and territorial conven-
tons and sending Roosevelt delega-
tions to The republican national con
yention next year? What viii be the
explanations ofered by those repub,
Icans, high and low. Who have been
declaring that there was only one
man in the republican party who
would stand any show or election ov-
er a democrat and that that man was
Theodore Roosevelt? 1t will be inter
esting to watch the hedging on this
kind of talk which has been INDUCED
in for the purpose Of keeping afoat
the Roosevelt boom. Only last week
Governor Kihbey of Arizona stated
that the next president would be
either Roosevelt, q man in accord
with the Roosevelt policies, pr a dem
ocrat As the Roosevelt candidate IS
well understood to be Taft, it is a
pretty sure thing to bet on that. ac-
eording to the theory Of Kbbey, the
next president will be a democrat
There has been no warmth about the
reception Of the Taft boom in any
section OF the country and it locks
now that if he gets the Ohio delega-
ton it viii be after one of the bitter
est fights on record and perhaps with
a ccntesting delegation which would
render the choice of the war secre-
tary political suicidal act
Now we may expect to hear the
federal officials change their tunes
from Roosevelt to Taft but it is not
likely that this change in the musical
program viii avail anything in Ari-
IONA. If the republicans Of Arizona
owe any public endorsement to any
OF the candidates in the republican
party next yea rthey owe it to Jo-
seph B Foraker, the man who stood
by his guns in the United States SEN
ate and fought for the protection Of
Arizona from those who were trying
TO force upon our people the detestibIe
condition Of joint statehood.
Roosevelt has already given the tip
that Taft is the one to succeed him
in the white hoase and IT is known
that he has been urging his friends in

What If Bryan Should Do 1t.
Mobile Register


If John Temple Graves wishes to
know Just what would happen if
Mr. Bryan were to nominate Mr..
Roosevelt as a candidate of all the
people, he can find the iuforma-
ton I'm the history Of the decline
and fall Of the federaIst party In
this country Such an action as he
advises would mean nothing less
than the declaration that the Dem
ocratic party has no longer any rca-
SON for its existence.
1t describing the Era IF Good
Feeling I'm Monroe.s time, when
the Fedcralists and Democrats Chen
called Republicans We're mot easily
dis6nguishable. because Of the cl-
forts Of the Federalists to associate
with their former opponents, Judge
Ransom II GilIet, in his Demo
crat, writes
Their fate was sealed A di-a-
v0wa of their principles and a
change of name were necessary to
future success. This was readily
done at no distant day. 1T was our
good fortune to hear the eloquent
Elisha Williams I'm the last year of
his life pass an affectionate eulogy
upon the extinct party and its prin-
cipIes, and feelingly denounce those
who bad once been proud Of them,
for ignominious deserti0n Of them,
leaving him alone in his old age, as
the sole representative Of both, who
had the courage and manlincss to
openly avoW them. The Federal
lists have never resumed their for
mer name. "
There is the verdict. Hopeless of
political success or ashamed of their
party, the Federalsts turned to
their opponents chief and hailed
him as God-given; and then went
out Of business for good.
Mr. Ben Humphrey has charac-
terized Graves idea as dementia
Georgiana. y and it Is likely to stick,
although Graves is not all Georgia,
nor yet a very material part Of At
lanta. No doubt, however, he rep
resents the Atlanta hunger for some
thing new, regardless of effect; and
Atlanta, and Georgia, too, must
suffer in reputation because Of his
eccentricity.
That is Georgia's affair, not ours.
The point we make Is that for Bry-
an to nominate Roosevelt would be
for him TO assassinate the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Graves has offer
ed Mr. Bryan the dagger. which
Mr.. Bryan has gracefully and with
a certain amount Of tirmness re-
fused
That is probably the last appear
ance OF Mr.. Graves in a serious role.

The Martha Washington Hotel
in New York is about to give up the
ghost. For several years it has cat

philanthropic motives. 1t was in

men and for women who visited
New York without companions.
But il was never a success. Lately
the restaurant was closed, as the re-
suit Of the economy Of the patrons,
who ordered half portions and car

the house is to he leased to persons
who will manage it for other pur-
poses. Thus does feminine human
Lature have its way. Women, no
matter how much money their
husbands may have, or how much
they may have, for that matter, are
peculiarly penurious in their own
personal expenditures, except for
dress and ornament. A woman

it Is unluckily true that lone women

Lapis LaZuIi,

Lapis laZuli, peculiar stone, vary
ing in shades from sky blue to dark
blue, comes from various parts of Asia
and has usually specks of yellow or
white iron pyrites, which some believe
to be gold or silver. The fine blue color
for painting called ultramarine is made
from lapis lazuli by grinding it into
powder and purifying it from pyrites
and other substances which are mixed
with it in it's natural state. AS paint
ers know well, this color is now diff
cult to obtain genuine since a mode of
making it artifcially has been discoy-
cred by chemists. The difference in
price is great. The artificial cannot be
distinguished from the real by even
the most careful chemical tests, the
only means of detecting the former be-
ing by the microscope, which shows
the absence of the sparkling particles
of the broken stone from which the
real ultramarine is never free.

Her work is not the dull grind it
