Our Hero Memorials.

Secretary Dicklnson's plea for ma
tional memorials at San Juan and other
battlefields of Cuba because of the in
dividual and united valor shown by our
commanders and our troops at those
landmarks OF signal victories, is well
enough in its way, for tablets at sacred
spots where men have laid down their
lives in a humane cause serve to re-
mind the thoughtless OF deeds worthy
of emulation.
But one cannot but reflect that in a
larger sense we have reared up a mem
orial that all the world may read as 1t
runs, in the reconstructed Cuba whose
sufferings enlisted our forces in the
most unselfish war the world has ever
witnessed.
Inscriptions of metal may be neces-
sary to mark the spots of special valor
for the guidance of future generations,
but the visible and glorious monument
is already reared to our heroes In the
happiness and prosperity of the island
ers whom we liberated from oppression
by the very heroism now detailed by
officialdom for congress to recognize.

A Minor Chord.

One of the greatest of human hearts
is that of our national humorist, who
is also recognized by the nations as our
most notable author, DR.. Samuel l..
Clemens, whose pen-name of Mark
Twain, has been a household word for
generations. This man more than any
other now living has played the har-
monies of mirth and good fellowship
among our people, and who so gener-
Gus as he with his serene and joyous
outlook on life through a~-personal
career that has been crowded with
the tragedies that beset the flesh and
spirit!
We know what his message to the
world is on this holiday, for 1t CLEANS
from every page of his books, stored
with concentrated sunshine. We can
hear his Merry Christmas in his
whimsical voice, with his wonderful
smile, above which his white locks are
an aureole.
Kindly, lovable Mark Twain, would
that the response Of mankind could
awaken in you one touch Of the merri-
ment that you have kindled in u uni
versal breast! But not for you the
merriment, alone and desolate in your
house of mourning; for you only the
resignation, and the waiting, and the
inner faith and the living love of all
men to comfort you at the ashes of
your hearth. Not the Merry Christ
mas we would like to say, may we ut
ter; but oh, Mark Twain, the children
of your brain and soul, they live for
ever, and contribute to the merry
Christmases of mankind throughout
the year; and in token of the love the
whole troubled world bears to you, we
may say God bless you, Mark Twain,
nobleman, let nothing you dismay!"

japanese Assurances.

There is a holiday flavor about the
greetings brought to Washington by
Ambassador Uchida from Japan, and
while naturally he could not be ex-
pected to discuss the topics that are
continually active in the popular mind
where Nippon is considered, neverthe-
less the hints that he threw out were OF
a most reassuring nature. We must
remember, however, that the baron Is
first and last a shrewd diplomatist,
whose training precludes his saying
anything but pleasant things and the
nice-sounding words of diplomacy fire.
q~uently have been known to conceal
guile.
For example, touching on the vexed
matter of immigration, which caused
such a foment on the coast, he remarks
that 'the existing agreement has no
fixed date of expiration" as though
that was a guarantee Of p%erpetuation
of good fellowship. AS a fact, how
ever, that simply means that it is sub
ject to revocation when either party
finds it to its interest to break it, and
while the advantage is mutual, still it
does not form a very secure basis for
permanency of harmony.
Fortunately, the general treaty with
Japan does have a fixed date of expira-
ton, and the State department is even
now considering how best to renew it's
provisions. May it not be an advan-
tageous time for also considering the
incorporation of such agreement re-
garding immigration and other Japan
ese problems as shall render more def
mite and secure all visible problems
which afford possibilities for dispute
between ourselves and the nation
which Baron Uchida represents?

Des Moines Capital.
The Arbuckles have glady refunded to
the United States government 100000 in
settlement of the governments claim
against the firm on account Of cheating
by short weights in paying import duties,
The government has not compromised any
right to prosecute the Arbuckies %criminally,
Put this down as a triumph for the Taft
administration, which is doing It's duty
without a brass band.
Upon trial five employees of the Sugar
trust have been convicted OF d%efrauding
the customs. A jury found them guilty
after a fair trial. A maximum penalty
is SO, 600 fine and four years 'impEison-
ment or both.
These are some of the achievements Of
the Taft administration in the interest Of
good, clean government. Every man is
required TO do his duty.
But the Taft administration makes no
noise in regard to it's achievements.
The administration is also laboring to
reduce the number OF employees and to cut
down the expenses OF the government,
which have tremendously grown during the
last ten years.

"MerrY Christmas"

Perhaps the most redeeming trait Of
human nature is that at least once a
year mankind is willing to pause in its
mad r, SD and, laying aside all animos-
tiles, express a general wish for the
good n welfare OF all, Your neigh
Dor greets you today with Merry
Christmas" and you return his saluta-
ton. The stranger you encounter ex-
presses in his face, his manner and his
greeting the cordially that supports
the sincerity of his Merry Christmas"
This is not an empty and meaning
less phrase, no matter how t~rippingly
It may fall from the lips. Even its
most careless expression has in 1t
something of hat element of good that
is latent in all natures. The religious
aspect may mean much or little today.
That depends entirely on the viewpoint,
but regardless of this fact, the whole
some sentiment conveyed by merry
Christmas" is an evidence of the fact
that man is not essentially all bad, and
that ever il his lowest state he has the
element of good and aspiration for
right.
Christmas is a day for giving. Even
the most selfish nature expands under
the genial influence of the season and
the satisfaction that comes from the
bestowal of remembrances at this time
is far more enjoyable than that which
comes in taking. This truism has been
so often stated that it's repetition seems
unnecessary. II is the excuse, perhaps,
for some extravaganza, but extrava-
gance thai is easily forgotten when one
considers the motive that underlies 1t.
To the devout who look upon the day
as the nativity of the blessed Son of
God, on whose life Of patience and self
sacrifice rests the foundation of the
Christian religion, it is doubly signifi-
cant. 1t was this divine man who an
nounced the doctrine of love as the
basis of personal conduct. ut is more
blessed to give than to receive" He
said, and by His example, as well as
precept, He taught the world the sub
Unity of His thought. And so the
Christian, in contemplation Of His
birth, sees with eyes of faith the con-
summation of His life given in the end
that all might through Him receive life.
Thus to mankind, no matter of what
condition or in what walk, Christmas
is-a day Of peculiar and appropriate
significance, and to all of these we
wish a Merry Christmas.

Tragedy of the Candles.


A little Eskimo once came
TO share our happy home,
Brought by an Arctic traveller
Across the frozen foam
On Christmas eve we dressed a tree
AS every home should do,
With toys and snow and glittertng things,
And candles red and blue.
The room was shut till Christmas day,
When, after dinner time,
All were to dance around the tree
that spectacle sublimel
But ahl when the father hurried in
The little wicks to light,
In vain, the taper In his hand
No candle met his sight.
hi, therel" he cries, what joke is this
The candles, where are they?'
And all who helped to dress the tree
Stood speechless with dismay.
'The candlesl There were forty-eight,
-Four Dozen" mother said,
"And not a single one is left
A beam of light to shed"
Then spake the little Eskimo:
Me sorry what me done;
Me very hungry in the night,
Me ate them every one"

Chance for Our Youth.

The launching of another United
States b~attleship, which is said to be
the most wonderful fighting mammoth
now afloat, renews attention to the
fact that with our greater navy We
need a larger force Of trained men for
the mastery of u ships that shall
command the respect and obedience Of
the rebellious nations. And it is an
occasion for ambitious youth TO recog-
nize the opportunity for which many Of
them have been longing in vain In
other fields of endeavor.
Among the which the United
States has blaEoned in letters of gold
all over the world, those shine supreme
which had their beginning in the navy.
Where is there an array that so stirs
our own patriotism as Barry, Jones,
Decatur, Farragut. Dewey. with the
host OF others no less distinguished
that is encompassed in the annals over
which those typical names stretch?
The prodigious advance made in
naval GOuSNl uCllOh anu SQulpunSnl 5luC6
the time when Commodore Barry axe
cuted the exploit of making the first
capture of a foreign ship by a commits
stoned officer Of the United States
navy, affords vaster opportunities for
modern youth than were possible in
those days of h~and-to-hand conflict, for
now the guns OF the leviathan hurl pro-
j~ectiles across miles of distance with
accuracy, and the huge mechanism is
under exact control at the pressure of
a finger applied to electric devices.
Thus the arts OF war afloat have an in
finitude Of delicate manipulation call
ing for men of parts to be the brains
OF the marvellous machines.

Optimism occasionally gets it's OPP

THE OMNIPREsENT FACTOR.
Adjusting Wages to the High Cost of
Living.

Boston Herald.
A great strike of railway employees Is
threatened in support Of a demand for a
10 per cent increase in wages. The man
agement of the larger railway systems
reply that business does not warrant such
an increase. and that not until they nave
recovered from the depression of business
and have met the demands on their income
for maintenance and new equipment can
they consider the request for an Increase.
To which the workmen reply that the
cost OF living has increased to such an
extent hat the 10 per cent increase Is a
necessity. II is probable that a careful
and impartial investigation would confirm
the truth OF the statements Of both sides.
The w~orkingman needs a higher wage to
meet the higher prices OF the necessities
OF life. The average railroad is not war
ranted by present conditions in permanent
increase Of its cost OF operation. But the
~workingman must live. The cost OF his
living is a factor in the question. II cap
ital demands d reasonable profit, labor also
rightly demands a reasonable return on its
Investment. and that reasonable demand
is determined by the required cost Of his
living which is the variant. II the cost OF
living is high he must get higher wages
than when II is low. 1t is for the interests
Of every employer OF labor, every Industrial
manager, or commercial director into whose
calculations a payroll enters, that the cost
Of living be subjected to expert investiga-
ton and that every Unnecessary expense
and every unreasonable profit be eliminated

In the case of the Equitable the entire
stock is only $1OO,O0O and the dividends are
limited by law to 7 per cent; yet Mr.. Ryan
paid James Hazen Hyde $500 900 for $50,2O
Of this $780, 600 in stock. The legitimate
earnings from the investment were only
1854 a year. The interest on 2, 100000 at
the very modest rate of 4 per cent is 100000
a year. Nominally Mr.. Ryan's investment
meant a loss of at least $96, 1856 annually;
yet he was very glad to get the Hyde stock
for 81, 500, 900, and other bidders had
previously offered twice as much.
There is no public information as to
what Mr.. Morgan paid for the Ryan hold
ings but nobody assumes that II was less
than Mr.. Ryan paid Mr.. Hyde plus n
