EVERY time a fire breaks ont in town it makes one think and take notice that the fire fighting apparatus could be moved with more dispatch if Williams had an organized volunteer fire department. Under the present system the men run to the fire without a though, of assisting with the hose carts, etc. If the men were organized each man would know where to go to for the apparatus and where his place was in handling it. Then there would be the chief who would look the places up where his men were most needed and the foremen and men would be moving at his command. With an organized company they could check almost any kind of blaze. At present there is no head or tail to it. No wonder the insurance rates are high. The city council ought to wake up Co the situation and take steps toward ganizing a fire de- pertinent.

It Serves to Remind Us

That today is Christmas.
 That praises be to the cheerful giver.
 That it's no use to waste powder on New Years resolutions unless first we firmly resolute to keep them.
 That don't forget that Williams has plenty of fire hose and in case of fire try and put the hose house on your path and thus get chance to help pull the hose carts.
 That when some people talk it is a waste of time even to yawn.
 That the more talk it takes to run things the slower they move.
 That if a man gives up a bad habit it is because he gets tired of it. The world would be made better if more men would get tired of their bad habits.
 That the bravest dentist is not anxious to look into the jaws of death.
 That instead of following at somebody else's heels get busy and set the pace.
 That sure enough the north pole was discovered this week but no one has had the courage to claim the honor.
 That many man who tries to pose as a lion wouldn't even make good rabbit.
 That woman never feels hurt if the slippers a man gives her for Christmas are several sizes too small.
 That even after Christmas the wise business man will not forget that it pays to advertise.
 That this is the wood and coal mans harvest.
 That a man would be better off with only steel skates on when the thermometer is at zero or below.
 That Christmas comes only once year and everyone ought to be able to put on a cheerful face.
 That we ought to drink only soft drinks today.
 That the man who thinks it is smart to get full of booze on Christ mas is big fool.
 That the man who is too busy to to write "Christmas" in full, and writes "Xmas" instead, is too busy to live right.

SOME men are too selfish and grasping for their own good in the wild chase for the almighty dollar. They have no regard for their fel- bowman whatever. Nothing would be too cheap or low down for them to do if they thought it would en- rich their own individual pocket. It is these individual men as well as corporations made up of men of this type that are doing all in their power to ruin the standing of an honest American laboring man. IL is them that are employing low class foreign labor just because they can get them cheaper and thus increase their wealth at the expense of true Americans. They are the scoundrels that are robbing our own America of true manhood. It is these heartless and selfish ras calls that are driving young men of our land by the thousands out on the tramp from city to city in want of employment. They are making tramps, thieves, drunkards, and murdersrs of our young men. And through their selfishnes they only are responsible for the thousands of young women seeking disgrace : full living in the scarlet districts of our cities and towns. Oh, if only Christmas spirit would bring about the change of thing for better con ditions in America. America n labor for Americans. Americans for America. If it could be so then us Americans on this Christmas day could sing with true American spirit" ,"Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on Eearth, Good will Toward Men"

AN EASTERN VIEW OF
 STATEHOOD CHANGES

The general impression at Wash ington is that while little public business of any kind will be trans acted by congress before the holi- days, immediately after the body convenes in January the bill for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico will be considered and passed by both houses-not because congress and the senate are anxious to pass the bill, but because Presi- dent Taft is determined to get it off his hands and is calling on the re- publican congressman and senators to redeem the pledge made by their party, says the Arizona Democrat.
 A New York Herald Washington correspondent speaks of the matter as follows:
 Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico, which was dead issue when the leaders arrived here, has been galvanized into life by the president himself. He believes that all pledges of the party should be kept as speedily as possible, and he is not in sympathy with those who would delay admitting these two new states until the census of 1910 is completed"
 While we may expect to hear favorable and unfavorable reports about the chances of admission until the bill is killed or passed, the fact that both parties are pledged to the passage of the measure and that the kickers are now forced to keep their mouths shut is very flat tering and it seems impossible to defeat the bill. The only thing to be actually feared is delay in the cOn nnlIteeS. II we CdIuOI Set Iue bill through the lower house until after the holidays, this will give the senate com mittee an opportu- nifty to jockey with the bill until late in the session. But it is bound to finally come to vote, and when the vote is taken there can be only one result-the admittauce of both territories. This is the conserva- tive eastern view of the matter.

WE often hear men cuss our law makers and all branches of our government. If there is rascality existing nobody else but the voters of our land is blame for it. Four fifths of the voters do not pay any attention to the selection of their party nomination conventions and primaries, but on election day will go and vote for any old candidate, not even knowing his name until he runs across it on the ballot. Ii we are to better our conditions we must begin from the roots of the whole thing, Study our political affairs thoroughly, take an active part in nominating the best men for offices and when the election day comes vote according to the dictates of your own conscience and not as the bosses command you. In this manner we can improve our government.

The Glamor of Distance

It is often amusing to see how people will deceive themselves into thinking that they get better goods by going or sending away from home. Examined by the sober light of second thought, they often prove unsatisfactory, but bought at dis tance they can't be returned, save perhaps by a prohibitive amount of time and trouble.
 People do not always stop to think that the merchants in their home towns have made marvellous advances within few years. They are as keenly alive to the need of keeping up with the fashions as any one. They have regular clear ance sales to get rid of old goods, and it is no more possible for them to carry back styles than it is for the big city competitor. Therefore, why not patronize the home mer. chant. who will see to it that you get satisfaction if the goods are not what is represented.-Gazette.
 OLD Santa Claus had to readopt his old custom of travel, reindeers and sleigh, this Christmas. Well he must have enjoyed it. At any rate the good old fellow was not much in love with automobiles and airships anyhow.

bout before the National Athletic club
at Philadelphia.
The recent bout between 0'Brien
and Johnson in Philadelphia IS still
fresh in pugilistic memory and a ma
jority of those who saw the bout de-
clare that O'Brien was entitled to a
draw. O'Brien is a hard man to beat
in six roufd bout. and Ketchell will
be put to his best to get TO the Phila-
delphian before the final gong. Ketch-
ell, to win. must get inside of O'Brien's
guard and beat him down.
This interesting pair-the boxer and
the fighter-met once before in New
York in ten round bout, and Ketchell
won. For seven rounds O'Brien had
the Michigan fighter confused and out
boxed but in the last three rounds
Ketchell worked under O'Brien's guard
and sent the Philadelphia to the floor
repeatedly The bell saved OBrien
from a clean knockout.
