coming The people of the district
have the money and they are going
to spend it. Last year they did not
have it and could not spend it. What
applies locally in this respect is true
pretty much all over the country. An
immediate result must be the placing
of orders from all sections for new
goods, for the holiday trade is clean
ing stocks from the shelves very rap
idly. Early in the new year the i'm
provement will be felt by the fac
tories and the mills and in their turn
by the railroads and all industrial
and commercial interests. 1t is a
good Christmas season for the coun-
try at large and will be of vast help
in getting us back to high tide pros
perity before the new year has gath
cred much age.

MIR. TAFT'S CABINET.

1t is not a cause for surprise that
President-eIect Taft is going slowly
in the selection of his cabinet. or
that only one cabinet position has
been filled, and that, as things now
stand. one of the least important
The power and Importance but not
the pay of cabinet officers have been
steadily advanced during recent
years. This has been partly due to
the growth of the country and partly
TO the several eminent men who
President Roosevelt has succeeded in
keeping around his council table.
The Republican party is rich in
material to draw from. far richer
than the Bryan Democratic party, but
it is hardly possible that Mr.. Taft will
be able at first to gather together so
able cabinet as that of Mr. Roose-
welt In the first place the two
strongest of Mr.. Roosevelt's advis-
ers were Mr.. Taft himself and Mr.
Root. Mr.. Taft goes into the presi-
dency but Mr. Roosevelt goes out and
the vacancy still remains. Mr.. Root
will go TO the United States senate,
taking Office the same day that Mr.
Taft is sworn in as president.
1t has been said with truth that
the importance of a cabinet position
largely depends upon the man in it.
The country soon sees who are the
cabinet officers upon whom the presi-
dent most relies, and many of their
most important official actions are
performed in the discharge of duties
not necessarily coming under their
special departments.

The president has pulled the dig
nifty of his high Office 20 low notch
in his TRADE against certain news
papers which published reports in
ferring scandal in connection with
Panama canal transactions. The eli
max came in his appeal to congress
in his message of Tuesday TO bring
suit against the publisher of the New
York World, move that appears
laughable when its source is consid-
cred along with the fact that Mr..
Pulitzer had previously called upon
congress 10 bring about precisely the
same result as that at which Mr..
Roosevelt aims, Pulitzer having de-
manded a thorough investigation of
the entire affair by congress.

THE GREATEST IN
HEAVEN
REV. J. X. BARR DRAWS GOOD
LESSONS FROM FAMILIAR
TEXT-FORGIVEN OF AND
SAVING FROM SIN.

Whosoever therefore shall hum
BILE himself as this little child, the
same is greatest in the kingdom of
heaven" Matt. 1894. The discourse
of Rev. j. Il. Barr Sunday was from
the foregoing text and in part as fol-
lows:
In comparison men are but chill
dren grown, and we are afraid that
i'm proportion they will hardly aver
age as wise. And as 10 goodness
they measure far below the children.
Mans errors are of two kinds; in
territorial and unintentional. The
child is pure from both. Hence a
perfect subject for the kingdom of
heaven. Purity is greatness, and
without purity of heart there can be
no enduring greatness. But with
purity of heart man will not fail of
greatness. never
The individual is not accountable
for unintentional error. But the
thing once an unintentional error,
becomes an intentional wrong when
the individual has become aware that
IL is an error. Wilful ignorance is
intentional wrong. Men are account
able for all they know and might
nave known.
Greatness on earth is one thing
and greatness in heaven is quite an
other. One is accounted great by
finite minds but the other greatness
is in reality Yet the real greatness
in man on earth is at least the same
in quality of greatness in the king
dom of heaven.
But the sense in which Christ
places the child as our model 1t is
the child's humility. trustfulness. in
nocence. II is as the child begins
10 grow and develop that he tends
TO distrust and arrogance. which If
harbored, brings guilt. The lesson
We wish to draw is that inasmuch as
the child is the example of greatness,
We must preserve that childlike hui
mility, trustfulness and innocence
With deep gratitude do we rejoice
in the forgiveness of sins. But far
greater is the worlds joy in Gods
saving from sin. A little prevention
Is worth many times its amount in
cure, and in many instances means
life where cure would be impossible.
All honor to those agencies which
are especially to reclaim the sinner
But by far is the greatest hope of

RENO Dec. b Sheriff Charles
Emerson of Lassen county, California

will spend several days in an effort to
round up gang of cattle thieves
that have been operating for some
time in the vicinity of the lake.
Amadee and Milford. A number of
the state police accompanied the Of
fcers.
Some time ago complaint was
made to Sheriff Emerson by stock
owners living near the state line that
numerous raids had been made on
their corrals and a large number of
cattle stolen. The owners thought
that the thieves had driven the stock
into Nevada, and had it pastured
somewhere near Pyramid Lake.
Investigation made shortly after
the complaint was registered resulted
in finding traces, but no thieves.
Sheriff Emerson secured the country
with his deputies, but failed to dis
cover the hiding place of the men he
was after He finally called on Cap
