The People of America Need Love.

If ! We're the nations Santa Claus,
| would, on my trip across the world
on Christmas eve, 1905, drop into
every heart the gift of the spirit Of
giving, says Elizabeth n. Phillips,
president of the Philadelphia Santa
Claus Association, in a symposium,
IF | Were a National Santa Claus,
in the December Delneator. | would
visit each home where love and atfec-
ton had grown cold, and kindle the
fires anew. | would see that every
orphan had, not only a pair of shoes
to warm his little feet. but a love that
might take the place of a mother S
love TO warm his little heart. would
see that he had not only a coat to
protect him from the winters cold,
but a sheltering arm that might take
the place Of fathers in protecting
him from the freezing blasts OF
thoughtIess people.
Were l the nations Santa Claus
the spirit of giving" would exist in
every heart every day and there
would be no desire for great riches
and power; no employer grinding down
the wages Of his employed, no public
official using his trust for private gain
and no religious creeds and doctrines

WE read and hear much of recent
years about the purity of the ballot,
but how can the ballot be pure when
newspapers will give space to the most
vicious elements in all political parties?
Why any reputable newspaper will open
its columns for a base and degraded
method of campaigning is a mystery.
A man may have always lived an honest
and upright life, but the moment he
comes before the public asking for
votes his political enemies search with
an X ray all the pages Of his past for
an issue and, failing to find one, make one
by means Of any corrupt tool that may
be found The public should demand
along with the purity Of the ballot the
purity Of the press and cleaner methods
in politics.

An Up-to-Date Meat-Inspection Servic'

The great meat packing establish
ments have been held up TO the world
as examples of the highest development
of specialized industry. They are the re-
suit Of an evolution of years of gradual
improvement. The federal meat in
spection service, in spite Of its organ
ization into a great business almost i'm
mediately following the passage of the
law, today stands side by side with, and
is as modern and up-to-date as, the
finely organized business that it super
vises. The bureau furnishes a sufficient
number Of inspectors for the work, and
they will work as fast as the improved
appliances of the establishment permit
or it's needs demand. The Government
will not require the proprietor to stop
his work to send for the inspector or
to wait for him to retire and make an
elaborate report, procedure common
in the inspection systems of foreign
countries. The American meat inspec-
ton is probably the model for the world.
Its employees are capable and expert
veterinarians, bacteriologists, and
chemists, and the regulations and or
ganization are so stringent, and the
transfer of inspectors and inspection of
inspectors so frequent, that collision or
dishonesty is practically impossible. The
consumer of meats which bear the
stamp ''U. S. Inspected and Passed
may have the very comfortable assur-
ance that he is buying and eating pro-
ducts from healthy animals prepared
under clean and sanitary conditions. ~
From "The Governments Inspection of
Meats" by Guy Elliott Mitchell, in the
American Review of Reviews for Nov
ember.

Obey the Law and Go Ahead.

Speaking to the Cincinnati Com
mercial club, of which he has beer
member for fifteen years, President
Elect Taft brought every member OF
the club to his feet in his address
sounding the keynote Of prosperity
for the country for the next fou
years.
Every business man who is obey
ing the law may go ahead with all
the energy in his possession, every
enterprise which is within the statutes
may proceed without interference from
the administration, when acting legal
ly, but all interests within the juris-
diction of the federal government
may expect a right enforcement Of the
laws against dishonest methods.

a CIenr Mandate.
erter

/ Chicago Tribune.
The republicans will have a working
majority of forty or more in the lower
house of the Sixty-frst congress. There
is loss of fifteen or twenty in compar-
son with present conditions. Some of
those who have not been returned have
been opponents of the presidents poll
cies. Others who have been criticised
for their stand have been reelected. A
more careful examination of the COM
pleted returns is needed before judg-
ment can be rendered in individual cases.
Nevertheless, there is no doubt that
the voice of the people the country over
has been loud in Endorsement of the
principles and ideals for which the pres
ent administration has stood. The de-
cision at the polls may be taken as a
mandate to congress to provide for the
carrying out of the spirit and the letter
Of these policies. The successful candi-
date for the presidency was quick to
recognize the meaning of the popular
vote 'It is your administration that
this victory affirms" was the response
to the congratulatory message from the
White House. The members of the ma
jority party in the new house should be
equally prompt in their appreciation of
the same truth, no matter how they
may have lined up in past discussions.
The great triumph of Mr.. Taft would
have been sadly married had the people.
in their congressional districts, tied his
hands by the election of a democratic
house. That they have returned sub
stantial republican majority is a clear
expression of their desire that the presi-
dent they have elected shall have the
hearty support of congress in carrying
forward the measures already initiated
and in putting into execution the poll
cies favored by him and to which the
party has pledged itself in its platform
of principles
With president, senate and house in
accord the way is open for the realiza-
ton of the express desires of the peo-
Pile. They have indicated their approval
Of the republican party That their
faith and trust have not been misplaced

after another Of the great problems
now in the public mind are rightly

A Sailors Christening.

"The late Bishop Potter once in his

christening IN a small fishing village on
the Massachusetts coast" says a writer
in the current issue of Harper's Week
". THE proud father, young fisher
man, awkwardly holding his frst-born
daug hter, was visibly embarrassed under
the scrutiny of the many eyes in the con-
gregation, and his nervousness was not
decreased by the sudden waiting of the
infant as they stood at the font.
"When the time for the baptism of the
babe arrived the bishop noticed that the
father was holding the child SO that its
fat little legs pointed toward the font.
""Turn her this way he whispered,
but the father was too disconnected to
hear or understand.
Turn her feet around the bishop
whispered again; but still there was no
response The situation was fast be-
coming critical, when an ancient mariner
in the back of the church came to the
rescue. Putting his weather beaten
hand to his mouth he roared across the
room. Head her up to the wind, Jack! -

BIGGEST BUFFALO HERD LEFT.
It Is Expected to Number Close to a
Thousand This Year.

A report comes from Alberta, Canada,
that the largest buffalo herd in the
world, which is corralled near the town
Of Lamont, has wintered well. From the
time the roundup of the herd commenced
in Montana last year less than ~ per
cent. have been lost or died.
According to Fur News, arrangements
are being made to bring up another 500
head, and Michael Pablo is engaged in
getting them together on his ranch in
Montana. Last year the 400 head
brought to Canada were shipped by
freight trains, but several were killed
in loading and unloading.
This year an attempt will be made
to drive the herd up from Montana TO
this place, distance of over eighty
miles. This eighty mile drive of 400
wild buffalo will be one of the greatest
undertakings in the history of cow
punching.
The government is calling for tenders
for wire fence around this preserve,
which will be over seventy miles long
and will cost approximately $4,000.
The preserve is so arranged that for
eighty miles the railroad runs along one
side, giving passengers chance to see
the herd.
This is even now the largest herd of
buffalo in the world. With the arrival
of the other herd this spring it will be
doubled, and before the end of the year
it is expected to number close UPON q
thousand head, with a net increase Of
fully 70 per cent. annually.
