LET EVERYBODY COME.

Tonghts meeting for the purpose OF or
ganizing Merchants Protective Associa-
ton shold'be attended by every merchant
in Montpelier, and the discussion should be
indulged in freely by every member.
The prime objects of the organization,
n lmely the limiting Of credit where credit
is not deserved. and the co operation of the
merchants TO this end is one which will ap-
peal to every merchant who does Il credit
business, as it means dollars and cents to
him every year. The Examiner sees in the
movement aside from the direct benefit 70
the individual merchant great benefit 70
the entire community, Cities all over the
west that have made marked and marvel
Gus growth within the past few years have
owed their prosperity to cooperation on
the. part of the business interests.
The plan of organization t. be present.
cd by the committee at tonghts meeting is
a comprehensive one, and of such nature
as to force the co-oporati III of the merch.
ants along certain lines. Wherever
partial corporation is started and carried
out in good faith it invariably leads o
closer and more intimate cooperation, and
fellowship.
from this movement condition Montpelier
has never seen before. We expect that if
the organization is perfected, taken serious
", and its agreements lived up TO, that
within another year the merchants who are
competitors in the same line Of business
will stop and chat with each other, will be
friends, rejoice in each others prosperity,
dine together, and operate upon the princi-
pal that every dollar brought to Montpelier
adds that much to the wealth of the com
munity no matter n whose hands it lodges.
In order for this movement to result in
broader benefits, of which the entire com
munity shall reap the benefits, it is neces-
sary for every step of the foundation of or
ganization to be considered carefully. 1t
is necessary that no member see in it any
thing he cannot and will not live up to-.
Tonight the foundation is to be laid Every
business man should be on hand to enter
his objection to any part he believes wrong.
Every business interest should be at the
meeting and help make the organization one
that is satisfactory and then live up to the
requirements.
When this organization has been
launched to the satisfaction of all the com
mercal jealousies that have in the past
hindered our growth will gradually be sup
planted by spirit OF fellowship and coop
Grafton that will guarantee for Montpelier
the future commercial Importance that by
virtue of location and natural conditions is
hers.

every man and woman in the world?
 The angels rejoiced to tell the glad tidings that should bring peace and love into the world, because earth was to know some thing of the joy of heaven. Vein Alaskarejoice at this Christmas time because the angels song and the love of the Chirstchild have come to the people here.
 We rejoice to hear the ringing voices see the shining faces, not of angels but of men and women who have heard the Christmas message: into whose lives have come the Christmas love. FEB.

The Christmas message is first of all a message of love. It is the sto- " of Gods love for q lost world: the story of d love that brought the Christ child to the manager in Bethlehem. Unless this love finds

a response in our hearts, so that the vibrating chords shall reecho the song which came to the ears of the shepherds on that first Christmas night: unless we have received Gods gift to the world and areliving in the sunshine of his love: unless We are doing this, VIC cannot keep Christmas.
 Without Christ there can be no true Christmas. Observing Christmas day, and exchanging presents with our friends would make but a barren desert were not the angels song ringing in our ears. Altho God gave this most precions of all gifts so many years ago there are still thousands who are living without this Christmas message,

A National Santa Claus.

What would you give to America if
you could be the National Santa Claus?
To some query, with Christmas six
weeks ahead, the editor of the Define
ator presents a galaxy of responses
from well-known men and women.
Perhaps Mrs. Frederic Schof, the
President OF the National Congress of
Mothers, comes nearest to what is
generally considered as the spirit of
the day. For every child to have a
square deal all the time. I" And this
sentiment is followed to what social
ism would call logical conclusion by
Edwin Markham's declaration that he
would give "a system organized by the
state TO provide work at living wages
for all voorhees, men and women.
can ideal American home" would be
the gift OF Bishop FallOws. Mayor
Brand Whitlock would bestow "enco-
nomic liberty (which is broad term
while Gov. Glenn of North Carolina
would give a national temperance law.
Elizabeth N. Phillips would rekindle
love on every hearth where the fires
have gone out. Julia Ward HOwe's
present would take the form of more
vigiIant national conscience. The suf-
fragette stocking should yawn for the
Rev. Anna Shaw's gift, which would
so harmonic the letter and spirit Of
the constitution with the declaration OF
independence" as to bring equal priv
leges, equal justice and true freedom
to every citizen, without distinction of

According to the Rev. DR.. Aked,
Americas greatest Christmas need is
"a great and absorbing passion for
some moral cause"
Plainly the National Santa Claus
would have as hard work as any other
Santa Claus to please every body.

A Railroad Revolution.

No railroad announcement of recent
years is more significant than that of
the Pennsylvania that its lines are To
be electrified to Pittsburg and that
trains will make tine distance between
New York and Philadelphia in an hour
says the New York World.
The less important part of this an
nouncement is of greater popular IN
terest. Hour trains to Philadelphia
have long been known to be quite pos
sible. The distance is 80 miles. Many
American records of above 100 miles
an hour for short distances have been
made on steam lines; the German cleo
tricaI experiments at lessen develop
ed safe sustained speed Of more than
100 miles an hour. The flat land of
New Jersey is favorable to speed.
Philadelphia is row practically within
the committing radius of New York.
Until recently many engineers have
held that steam locomotives would not
be supplanted by electric for the heav
Ter traffic of the main railroad lines.
The decision of the Pennsylvania will
go far toward settling the point. The
line of the Pennsylvania from New
York to Pittsburg carries the heaviest
traffic in America. If that line can be
advantageously operated by electricity
any line can be. With this decision
every waterpower in America has an
increased value. the problems of trans
mission of electric power without waste
become tho chief concern of practical
invention, an even stronger case Is
made for the preservation and replace
ment of forests, and hope is permitted
that the wanton waste of the nations
coal resources may be checked.

HEIRS ARE OUT OF SIGHT
FIGHTING FOR SMALL SUM OF
MONEY At ST. PETER.
Complications Arise Over ST 100
Estate; Where 10 Daughter Of
One August Pstsehe7

st. Peter, Jan. 2.-Complications
continue to sprout up in the case of
August Patsche, who inherited Sl,l00
from the estate of mis- father and who
has disappeared. Some time ago
Patsche's deserted wife took prelimin-
airy steps to institute an action to OBJ
tain possession of the legacy, and now,
lit seems, there is missing heir of
the missing heir. She is daughter
by prior marriage and, if she can
be traced, she will share equally. with
two half -brothers.
August Patsehe is a son of Henry
Patsche, an early resident of this
city. On the latter's death year
ago he inherited $l.lOO and this money
is in the hands of Mayor Philip Dick,
administrator of the estate. 1t would
have been paid to him months ago but
for the fact that he has disappeared.
When last heard from he was in Can
ada.
Early last month an action was
brought by Miller & Foote, law firm
of Crookston, Mimi, and Joseph A.
Eckstein of New Ulm against August
Patsche and Philip Dick, the latter be-
ing garnished to secure the payment
tof claim they hold against Patsche.
In their complaint the plaintiffs say
that in 1908 Patsche instituted di-
vorce proceedings against his wife,
Mrs. Minnie Patsche of New Ulm, in
the district court of Marshall county.
She retained Miller & Foote to con-
duct her defense, and on July 8, 1898,
the court issued an order directing
Patsche to pay his wife 500 to cover
her expenses in preparing for trial.
Patsche never obeyed the order, and
the suit was begun to recover the
money.
Son after the papers were filed Fred
Patsche of New Ulm, son of .Ae
missing heir, came to st. Peter. He
related that August Patsche deserted
his wife and her two sons sixteen
years ago, and he announced while
here that his mother; would make an
effort to secure the money inherited
lby her husband
Yesterday the case was further COM
lplicated by the announcement that
there is another heir to be reckoned
with. Mrs. Minnie Patsche of New

one of her uncles has interested him

has disappeared, but it thought that
an effort will be made to defer the
settlement of the estate until she can
be communicated with.
