and the activities of Clifford Pinchot
broke into open fire before the Trans
Mississippi congress yesterday after,
noon, and after a hot debate a resolu.
ton calling upon congress for a law
declaring for a division of the agricul-
ture, mineral and forest lands was
passed. The resolution was the one
presented by former Senator Patter-
son, of Colorado. 1t had been in COM
mittee for two days. and the feeling
was aboard that it was an overt at
tack on Pinchot. and this assertion
was made on the floor by Frank
Goudy, of Denver, who opposed the &C
ton.
Mr.. Patterson said he had no inten-
ton of attacking Mr.. Pinchot, and
wanted merely settlement of the
Pinchot controversy in which it has
been charged that Mr.. Pinchot over
looked technicalities in reserving for
est lands.
Stopped the Dispute.
Instantly the floor was alive with
prospective speakers for and against
the resolution. and it continued to be
SO until Mr.. Goudy offered an amend
ment commencing the forestry polio
les of the administration. This was
accepted by Mr.. Patterson. and in turn
MIR. Goudy accepted the Patterson res
olution. Both were passed This is
regarded as stopping the forestry dis
pute. which has been the factor most
feared through the session.
The resolutions committee present
ed partial report. and the clauses on
the following subjects we're adopted:
That the income tax measure be-
come a law
That tariff commission of experts
be placed in service
That congress pass law regulating
the use Of grazing lands.
That Alaska be given a territorial
legislature.
That congress pass a law prevent
ing the collection of federal liquor rev.
enue in prohibition territory.
That aid be extended to American
shipping.
Railway Rebates Scored.
The principal speaker of the after
noon was Governor Hadley. of Miss
ouri, who dealt with the rate question
in his state.
Governor Hadley declares the rail-
way rebates and not the tariff is the
mother Of trusts. He said one man
was responsible for placing the blame
where it belongs and for putting
quietus on all the rate evil with such
force that it has not shown its head
since, and that man was Roosevelt.
He was not in favor of the government
ownership of railroads, but would
rather see this than the government

The Horse

From the Omaha Bee.-Even as
sport the harness horse fancy is still
alive. though dwindling, it must be
confessed. At fairs patronized by
farmers, the trotting race is an attrac-
ton. for the farmers and dwellers in
small towns understand horses and
the art of speeding them. Automo-
biles have come to stay, to improve
and to become cheaper, but can no
more displace the horse than ocean
liners can dfsplace the schooner and
the freight boat. Each after its kind
Horses of average uses have risen in
price IN the midst of the automobile
craze. This big country can use more
horses than 1t has been raising. I'm
less 1t raises, more there will be high
priced scarcity in the market. People
may not rave over speed horses, but
they will have to pay money for the
draft breeds and the utility horse
which carries on farm work.

My Fathers Son.

"A press notice says:
My Fathers Son" is one of the
plays which will be produced by the
Albert Taylor company during their
Engagement at the Temple Theatre,
which begins on Saturday, December
25 1t is one of those quiet. heart in
terest comedies which depends less
on thrilling climaxes for success than
on a delineation of character types
such as we meet in daily life.
~ Before the story opens the hero
EIas unwittingly compromised young
girl on board ship, although he has
never seen her. How that is pos
,sible the story fully accounts for. To
make amends he signs a contract of
marriage with her that is binding
under the Spanish law, but he signs
the name of a friend. Years after
wards he falls in love with a beautiful
girl he meets in London, and his
father, hearing of his marriage, but
knowing none of the particulars, sends
him, in disgrace. to his Bombay house
There he makes good by discovering
that the agent is dishonest and ex-
posing him. The girl he loves also
goes to India with her uncle, but his
matrimonial tangle with his unknown
wife keeps him silent. In the end
the girl proves to be the unknown
wife, but not until complications have
arisen which produce as funny sue
lcession of amusing situations as ever

finely written and is in the same class

that when these festivities are over,
those with whom we have mingled
will still have faith in us, and a
larger faith. To do this we must feast
without forgetting God, and be merry
without mockery. We must not make
it time for a bacchanalian debauch,
or turn it into celebration in honor
of the god of war. for we are celebrat-
ing the birth of the Prince of Peace,
who from His childhood grew in
stature and in wisdom. and in the
graces of God and man.

BY REV. JAS. KILeoRE,
Pastor of Centenary Methodist Church


Pastor of Centenary Methodist Church.
AS / am sometimes asked what
Christmas means, l will begin my
paper by saying that it means the
Christ feast or festival. 1t was the
custom of ancients to celebrate relig-
ious events with a feast, The Jews
had several feast days, among them
the Feast of the Passover. The Greeks
and Romans had annual feasts in
honor of Bacchus and other of their
gods. The early Germans had festi-
walls in honor of Odin and some of
their other deities. Festivals in honor
of divinity seem to be almost instinct
in humanity, so When christianity
came into the world there were insti-
tuted love feasts and the Lords Sup
per. Both of these were corrupted by
some of the early converts from
heathendom. They turned the Lords
Supper into Bacchanalian feast. st.
Paul, in his letter to the Corinthians
strives to correct this debauching
tendency.
In the second century writer's speak
of christians celebrating a day in
honor of christ's birth. In the begin
ming there was no uniformity as to
the particular day, some using the
sixth of January and others various
other days in April or May. 1t is pref
ty generally conceded by scholars that
December 25 is not the true day, but
this date was quite generally agreed
on by the fifth century. 1t is thought
that this date was selected because
1t is right at the winter solstice,
when the sun begins his journey back
from the south to the equator, and
when there is a revival of plant life
north of the equator The early Ger
mans celebrated this day in their
heather worship; and when they
were converted to christianity their
festal day was converted into a chris
tian festival in memory of the coming
of our Lord in the flesh AS it is i'm
possible to determine the exact day
of Chirst's birth, December 25 will do
as wen as any rr1neT5to coimmeidora
the fact.
The manner of observing the day
has varied throughout the ages; but
in all ages there has been a tendency
to heathenism in its observance. In
England the Christmas festivals be-
came so corrupt that the Puritan
christians scarded the day altogether
as a religious one; but in recent years
they have come to adopt it as family |
day in which there are family re-
unions and the exchanging of gifts.
! think that Christmas should be
pre-eminently happy day, for it is in
honor of Him who came into the !
world to bring peace and joy 1t
should be day of gifts, for it stands
for the advent of Him who lied cap
tivity captive and gave gifts to men"
However, our joy should be a chast-
ened, religious joy and not a mere
worldly or sensuous pleasure. On the
other hand, we should not make it a
day of asceticism, for Jesus was no
ascetic. He first manifested His di-1
vine power in the miracle at the mar
riage in Cana of Galilee. That miracle
was for the purpose of adding to the
joyousness of the wedding feast; and
after the feast it is said that His
disciples believed on Him. So today
we all, and the young especially,
should be careful SO to deport our
