GOV. HUGHES VETO.

Governor Hughes of New York Is re-
celvinE honorable mention by a large
part nj the press because he vetoed the
two-cent passenger fare bill, President
| Butler OF the Columbia university al
forenoon function held ut that lnstitu-
ton referred 10 the Governors veto as
an act whereby the state had been
saved from lynch law" This Is new
application Of an old term 1t Is made
to cover not only overt acts committed
without warrant Of law but also sum
mary judgments without knowledge OF
facts. President Butler said in part:
Il want to thank Governor Hughes
for saving this State from a lynching.
By his veto Of the so-oalled two-cent
railroad bin he has prevented the rail-
roads Of the state of New York from
being lynched; and j believe that that
act is destined to be the beginning OF
more rational period IN the develop
ment NJ public opinion. He has shown
the world that man OF high place and
spoken of for other places was not
afraid Of the moh--a man who demands
for the citizens OF the state. whether
individual or corporate interests, even
handed justice
II ls to be feared that the speaker
touched an important truth when he
characterized some of the proposed an
ti-railroad legislation as attempts at
lynchng. When measures are framed
and advocated for no other reason than
TO gain the applause OF the crowds that
have had neither the time nor the abi-
ity TO analyze them, or study them in
diligently, the spirit Of lynch law,
which Is anarchy. is predominant
As the New York Tribune says. the
two-cent fare bill was an attempt at
arbitrary reduction. II was passed
without an inquiry OF any sort into It's
possible bearings and effects, II ignored
the wide dissinllarlty in the conditions
under which railroads are operated in
various parts OF the State. 1t took no
account OF discrepancies in cost and
character of service or of the density
OF population along one line as COM
pared with the density along another
Governor Hughes, who has proved
that he does not hesitate to grapple
with the trusts when they impose upon
the people, has also proved that he does
not propose TO play to the galleries
when the demand is that he deviate
from the rules Of fair play and square
deal,

The little boys write to Santa Claus for
great soldiers caps, guns and tin sol
diers, but their sisters ask for dolls and
buggies for their little ones. In Ger
many Christmas eve is children's eve,
and not child will go to bed until
every candle burns low. In some places
the candles are kept lighted for two or
three days. But Santa Claus does not
forget the little folks in the coldest,
most far-out-of-the places. Every
year he makes a flying trip through the
mountains. The mountaineers come
down into the village and await his
coming. When not playing the chill
dren are busy eating cookies, candies,
nuts and other goodies, scarce during
the rest of the time. The children do
not sit up to see Santa Claus; they fear
that If they are too curious he will
not come. In some of the homes he
finds Christmas trees on which to place
the toys. Long before sunrise the chill
dren are up, busy with their stockings.
They all expect 10 find a pair of skates,
a mountain stick and a sled, and what
ever else their good friend is kind
enough to bring. If 1t were not for the
Christmas gifts winter days in the
dreary mountain villages would become
very tedious

ringing merrily. Inside the family
forms a circle and sing Christmas
carols. Anxious to make a great noise,
the younger children join in with wind
instruments.
A sudden knock tells them he is
there. Some rush up to help him off
with his fur coat and others assist him
to unload his toys. Every little boy
and girl expects a pair of skates. In
no other country is skating finer, and
the children skate so much that they
need a new pair every season. They
expect caps, hoods and mittens-these
are so necessary in a cold climate. They
are fond of pets. A gift of kitten or
bird is priced greatly, and if they
cannot have real horse, wooden
rocking-horse is a satisfactory substi-
tute. When Sunderkloas cannot come
he sends his presents on a goat Tho
goat kicks, and thus scatters the pres
ents on the floor.
In Norway it is customary to make
the very birds share in the Christmas
gladness. For this purpose tree is
planted in front of every house, hung
with herbs and boxes containing tempt
ing seeds, so that the little feathered
guests may feast and eat their fill.
When Sunderkloas leaves Norway

~ HOUGH every nation has it's spe-
cial holidays and celebrations.
~ Christmas is the one holiday that
nearly the entire world celebrates.
Much as this day of rejoicing means
to the grown-ups, it is. above all else,
a children's day. When the glad
Christmas chimes ring out millions of
little folks the world over rejoice and
are happy.
Though Germany is supposed to be
the home of the tree and Santa Claus,
1t is In the North countries Sunderkloas
first appears. In Norway, Sweden and
Denmark the little folk celebrate his
coming for fifteen days. The thought
of his coming creates a feeling of good
fellowship. resulting in much visiting
back and forth, dancing and laughter.
The children keep the postman busy
mailing their letters, for thousands of
children send letters to Sunderl1loas
telling him just what they want
Though their lists are often long, they
are careful to explain that if he can
not bring them everything, they would
like certain things very much, and their
parents will look after the rest On
Christmas Eve the household are gath
cred in the best parlor, waiting his
coming impatiently. In the smallest
village the church chimes are heard
