It is 65 years since Charles Dickens published the first of the great Christ mas stories that came from his pen to delight and touch the world.
 In these 65 years the power of the stories-"A Christmas Carol" "rhe Chimes" "The Cricket on the Hearth" and The Haunted Man"-has grown steadily. Every year in all those years the stories have softened the hearts of men. IL Is impossible for people of this generation to realize how much more charitable. how much more kindly and loving. Christmas Is because Charles Dickens wrote.
 Whoever reads these stories in this season makes Christmas more true, more beautiful for himself and for others II is s wretched and lost soul indeed that remains insensible to their appeal or fails to be uplifted and made better in some degree at least

known in Walla Walla, where they
lived up to eight years ago at the
corner of Second and Newell streets
and the father, who is now a Peone
prairie rancher, then ran a small
produce house on Third street, says
the Walla Walla Bulletin.
According to word brought to the
city this afternoon the body OF Kee-
vii Albring was found near Spokane,
so yards from the county road Satur-
day afternoon. Young Albring had
been missing since December "a,
when he left his home for Spokane
in company with a hobo, who had
been working at his fathers ranch,
but the father thought the boy had
been drinking and did not become
suspicious until few days ago.
The searchers found the body with
the back Of the skull crushed.
A rancher named Dryer, met the
tramp December "a, and the man
was then wearing Keevil's coat and
trying to sell the team the boy had
been driving. There was blood in
the bottom of the wagon. but the
tramp said they had been hauling
fresh meat.
The body of the young man was
found near where Dryer met the
tramp.

MORE PAY FOR SOLDIERS.
Helena Commercial Club Asks Con-
gress 10 Raise Wages.

That the pay Of the United States
soldier and marine is considered by
the people at large to be wholly in
adequate as an inducement for men
to remain in the service, has been
demonstrated by the action of the
Helena Commercial club in passing
resolutions asking congress that the
pay of the men in those departments
be raised from 10 to 25 per cent.
The resolutions of the Helena club
set forth as reasons for the request
of raise the fact that the present
pay is no inducement to keep men in
the army and navy, while day labor
ers are receiving much more. and
setting forth the fact that the stabil-
ity of the regular army is greatly
hampered because raw recruits are
constantly being taken in to fill the
places Of men who have quit the SER
vice because of the lack of remuner-
alton.

WAS IT SOCIALISM?
GEORGE WOLFE OF ECHO
ANSWERS SEATTLE ITEM
Well Known Umatilla County Social
ist Discusses Causes OF Poverty and
Suggests a Cure - Intemperance
Not the Chief Cause-CapitaIism
Holds the World by the Throat.

Echo, Ore, Jan. 12.-(Editor East
Oregonian.) Permit me to reply
briefly to an article in your paper of
January 10, entitled was 1t Social
ism"
You quoted a dispatch which stat
ed that at a socialist meeting in Sc
attic, a preacher was hissed off the
platform because he said that prohi-
bition was a sure cure for poverty.
One of the standing rules of the
socialists is a free PLATFORM" open
to free discussion of any question
under consideration; and if this par
ticular crowd did hiss the preacher,
as the dispatch states, they have vio-
lated one of their own established
principles, and are unworthy of the
name of socialists. and very few pro-
Tossing socialists will attempt to ex-
cuse them
However, any person who knows
enough to be a socialist, naturally
feels like ridiculing anybody who is
so densely ignorant of economies
and social science as to suppose that
intemperance and the liquor traffic
are the cause of all poverty or that
prohibition could cure all poverty.
While intemperance is the direct or
immediate cause of part of the pov-
erty and the indirect cause of anoth-
er part of it, yet the real cause lies |
back of intemperance and back of the |
liquor traffic, in the capitalistic or
profit system of industry, which, in |
the first place, permits those who are |
fortunate enough to own land or ma
chinery, to keep for themselves the
larger share of what their employees
produce, paying them, in many cases,
not enough to live on and support
families; and, in the second place.
this profit system enables individ-
uals to make enormous profits by
selling liquor.
Under socialism every worker will
get the full value of his labor. leav-
Ing nothing for idlers or loafers.
Goods will not be sold at a profit.
but distributed at actual cost. This
would take all Of the profit out Of
The liquor traffic, so the saloon would
die a natural death, and prohibition
would hardly be needed.
Under socialism there would be no
such thing as a poor working man.
Nobody would be poor, but those who
absolutely refuse to do anything use
ful, and they deserve to be poor.
Any person who understands so.
'ialism knows that it will solve both
he poverty question and the liquor
question at the same time.

A BOXING BOUT
FOR PENDLETON
EXHIBITION OF THE MANLY
ART TO BE PULLED OFF
Amateur Wrestling and Boxing Bout
Planned by Gymnasium Manage
ment-Directod ShOckley and Dud-
ley Clark TO be the Principals
Minor Matches for Preliminaries-
Art OF Self Defense Has Been
Taught Gymnasium Classes.

An amateur wrestling and boxing
bout is being agitated for the Com
mercial association gymnasium and
it is possible that an entertainment
will be pulled off there soon that
will prove of interest to many local
people who delight in those manly
pastimes.
The idea of devoting some evening
to a bout has been urged upon the
gymnasium management for some
time and this evening the committee
and Director Shockley will meet to
discuss the proposition further.
Should the entertainment be pull
ed off 1t will be held in the gymnasium
during some open night of the week
and the general public will be ad-
mitted upon the payment Of the stip-
ulated price.
While definite plans have not yet
been worked out It is the intention to
have several preliminary wrestling
and boxing matches between mem
bers of the gymnasium classes, while
the biggest event will be a sparring
match between Dudley Clark, the
brakeman, and Director Shockley.
Both of these gentlemen are clever
boxers and while the advantage of
size is all with Clark, 1t is believed
an interesting match would result.
During the winter a small boxing
and wrestling class has been trained
by Director Shockley on Tuesday
evenings anr some good work has
been done though no stars have been
developed. Should the proposed bout
be held the public will have an op-
portunity to see the gym work illus
trated as we'll as some good boxing
and wrestling.

REAL CHURCH UNITY.
Congregations Find the
True Basis of Fellowship.

Pendleton, Jan. 14.-(Editor East
Oregonian. )-One of the, most mag
nlflcent examples of getting togeth-
er in church life comes from Mani
toba, For some time an effort had
been made to bring more people to-
gether In one sect by continually
pointing out the differences in other
denominations outside, this one very
sectarian church, but all with the
one result of driving the churches
farther apart and causing strife.
OF late all the leading denomina-
tions concluded that the only way to
have real union was not by empha-
sizing the things upon which they
differed, which in themselves were
very trivial, and the emphasis Of
which only separated them more. but
Forgetting the small things about
which they differed and recalling the
fact that God made various minded
