o, have to tell the story
OF that Title baby born.
In that poO- and lonely stable
on that cold December morn;
And the wise men came to worship;
Came across the mountains bare,
Guided to that blessed Christ-child
BY the cleaning Of a star.
Yes. the infant Jesus slumbered
In that cold and narrow bed.
But a light from Heaven glistened
Round about that sacred head.
And that crib was filled with glory
Such as never was of earth.
For it came direct from Heaven,
the Saviour's birth.
And the morning stars they clustered
In the sky so bright and clear,
Singing to the world the story
That the King of kings was here.
And the star that shown so brightly
Ger the Babe of Bethlehem.
Seemed to herald forth the message
Peace on earth; good viii. to men,
Let the Christmas bells ring gladly,
Telling to the hearts Of men,
OF the birth of Christ the Saviour
Blessed Babe Of Bethlehem.
Then let every heart be thankful
That to MS q King was born,

officer with the individual citizen lex
cept 1t may be a profit from graft.
No business principles need be observ-
ed The next appropriation must cover
the deficit. How natural 1t is that this
municipal officer Is liberal with his
oMstituent who Is q consumer and
shifts the burden upon the public in
the form of taxes! My own observa-
ton of the actual operation of such
municipal plants satisfies me that cor
rect business methods are lacking.
The opportunity for graft the curse
of our municipal governments, is i'm
measurably increased when the city
engages in business, becomes q trader
and an employer of many men. When
the city becomes on a large scale the
employer of its sovereign voters an
other serious complication is added to
the troublesome labor question.
The lord provost of Glasgow, the Of
fetal head of the second city of the en-
pire, which has over 10000 municipal
servants, in 1902 uttered grave note
of warning on this subject. He de-
clared:
zone danger to his mind was that in
the vast army of municipal employees
they had an organized host, whose
operations at the polls might be de
structive Of the very best government
Of the city. What the remedy might
be it was not for him to suggest at
present. but in view of that growing
danger he had sometimes thought
whether the time might not shortly
arrive when Acknowledgement might
be q condition of municipal employ
ment. or, if not disfranchisement, that
such bodies might be represented by
only a sectional representation care

Cannot Be Half Bond and Half Free.
| do not believe the great business
life of this country can long endure
half socialistic and half free competi-
ton. When it gets to that point it
must either go back to the individual
istic idea with competition as the great
controlling law or so on to state social
ism. think we should look at this
question squarely and determine now
which we will choose.
To my mind there ought to be no
doubt about the decision. We should
stand for that which has made us in
dustrially great-the liberty of the in
dividual, the right of private owner
ship of property and the right to en-
gage in any legitimate business in a
lawful manner unhampered by munich
pal or state monopoly
Instead OF charging the so called
business powers Of our villages land
cities 1t is wiser to restrict them.

RAISING THE LIMIT.
City Officials Are Trying to Get More
Money to Lavish at the Expense Of
The TaxprNers

City Officials Are Trying to Get More
Money to Lavish at the Expense Of
the Taxpayers.
In several parts of the country move
mentS are on foot to increase the debt
limits of cities in order that they may
go more deeply into municipal owner
ship. In the good old days, when in
certain sections of the west there was
no limit in poker games or to the debt
Of cities. there was at least one city
from which all the inhabitants fled il
despair, preferring to abandon their
property rather than to pay the taxes.
Even in the older sections OF the coun-
try there have been cities which have
been forced into bankruptcy by like
causes and whose property holders
have sustained losses which beggared
many of them.
Where conservatism is not adhered
to in such matters serious results al
most inevitably follow, because q ma
jority Of the voters who are not direct
~ taxed fail to realize that they may
be indirect losers if the taxes become
excessive and the business interests of
the city are thereby hampered and cur
tailed. 1t is far easier for cities to
spepd money than TO pay off bonds,
and even conservative citizens are apt
not to count the cost when it comes to
city expenditures. The present laws
in regard to debt limits are safeguards
suggested by sad experience to protect
cities against sudden attacks of spend
thriftiness.
