Sir: In that spirit Of radicalism which

downright honesty of purpose and intent
be made 90 keep pace with railroad in

that are now said TO require that fairy

next six years.

roads, by and larga. are honestly managed
while still they put forth these fabulous
aggregations of practical Indebtedness.

Of hundreds OF others.
The fifth mistake was in forbidding DO
Iicemen entering places where the law IS
being violated for the reason that. II al
lowed 10 enter. eft Is inevitable that they

policemen should not be allowed 20 arrest
burglars and other criminals, because these
might bribe the former not 70 do so.
The sixth mistake was In declaring that
because the liquor tax was a state law, the
state authorities only should enforce It, III
this is logical. nearly all our criminal laws.

The seventh mistake was In admitting
that the problem which had worried all for
rner mayors was too much for our present
administration. and in Sinking responsible
fly by shifting II to the shoulders OK others.
The eighth mistake was IN not taking
decided stand on the Sunday laws. and
maintaining that they should be enforced
or that they should be repealed. AS every-
body knows. the quickest way TO secure the
repeal Of bad laws is to enforce thsm.
The ninth mistake was In ordering pO-
licemen carefully TO watch the front win
dows OF saloons to see that the law Is not
being violated. but to keep away from The
side doors. This order is so transparent as
to require no analysis. because il Is gener-
ally known that the law IL seldom violated
at the windows. but IS constantly violated
at the side doors
The tenth mistake was IN admitting tina,
the army of police was corrupt and beyond
control. and that he could not so organize
them that they would enforce all laws with
out fear or favor.
The liberal Sunday IS coming, doubtless
but the Mayor has Internationally delayed
its coming. EUGENE V. BREWSTER

GIFTS FROM FOREIGN RULERS.

The House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee has gone further than the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations went
in diScouraging the acceptance by Of
ficers Of the United States Of decora
tons souvenirs. presents or other TO
kens Of regard from foreign nations or
s0vereiGns. On March - the Senate
passed a bill, drawn by Mr.. Root and
reported by him from the Committee
on Foreign Relations which authorized
thirty military and naval officers and
members of the diplomatic corps to re-
ceive gifts bestowed on them by for
cign governments. The State Depart
ment has now in its custody about two
hundred articles awaiting release 10
their owners by grace of Congress. But
Mr.. Roots bill covered only thirty of
these embargOed testimonials of alien
regard, the New York Senator holding
that the other one hundred and seventy
represented favors and distinctions Of
by American officials.
The Senate was willing to allow per

which is lost means so much lost

A STATE UTILITIES DEFICIT.

That state ownership and operation Of
public utilities do not always assure the
most satisfactory results is again pretty
clearly indicated by the experience of
the telephone service of the Australian
state of Victoria under federal control.
Down 10 three years ago the service was
conducted at a yearly profit Of more
than 100000, but in 19O7-'OS the profit
was less than $4,000, and In 19OS-'O9
there was deficit of $500 This de-
cidedly unsatisfactory state of affairs
is said TO be due TO a new system OF
charges and accounting which the gov
eminent officials have established, but
the government experts insist that the
system is the best possible one and the
officials seem determined TO retain It.
1t does not appear that there has been
any such reduction In the cost OF the
service 10 the users OF telephones MS
would compensate the state for the
transformation OF a comfortable sur
plus into an awkward deficit Indeed,
ii IS not certain that any such COM
pensation would be adequate. since the
meeting Of a deficit for the sake OF
low tolls would In effect be the taxing
Of the whole people for the benefit Of
a classic wit, the users OF telephones.
II might well be argued that Il would
be more equitable 10 put the service
on a self-sustaining basis and let those
who have the good of 1t pay for It.

bility at Annapolis was a colossal legal
and political blunder. The clamor Of
powerful interests I'm the Democratic
party undoubtedly led Governor
Crothers to throw overheard the four
revolutionary registration and election
bills passed by the Legislature The
state was averse TO any skylarking ex-
periments in notification and saw only
humiliation ahead in the attempt to
override the federal Constitution. 1t
Will naturally have less objection 10 the
state administrations seeking n decision
in a friendly suit involving some single
individuals rights. feeling that If the
case is properly joined il can have only
one outcome. MaIyland's dignity at
least remains safe under the procedure
suggested. The Democratic party's
Bourbonism has defeated itself by its
very uncouthneSs and extravaganza.

PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL
TO MEN.

This is the season of good cheer
The season OF the holly and the mis-
tletoe-the time for bright faces AMI
generous inpulses-for gladstone greet
ings-a time for noble resolves to be
born-a time for old animosities to die
"a time when the benevolent side OF
ones nature should eclipse the sordid
side, a time when the thoughts should
be turned towards home-a time when
the usurping chains of business should
be ignored. A time when the child
with its golden curls, the man with his
silvered locks, alike cry Glory to God
in the Highest, Peace on Earth, Good
VIII to Men" These words have been
chanted by all Christian nations since
the infant, Jesus slept in the rude
manger in Bethlehem. The organs in
the grand cathedrals have pealed forth
these words and the hearts of the wor
shippers have been filled with adora-
tion; those treading the flowerless
paths OF poverty have tried to forget
for the moment their bitter lot as the
magic spell of Christmas pervaded even
their humble homes. Christmas greet
ings are greetings of good will. They
soften hard hearts, purify base desires,
sweeten bitter thoughts, make every
deed purer and holier; every wish kind
and tenderer. Hearts expand, sympa-
thies enlarge and good will reigns. 1t
is the time of all the year when the
best that is in man comes to the as
cendant But in this time of Christmas
cheer the fact should not be forgotten
that there are many wrongs to be
righted, economic ills to be remedied,
great problems of life to be solved.
While all seems merriment, there is
another side to the picture. In thou
sands OF homes the Christmas cheer
will consist of but memories of better
days Until we do our individual duty
in the righting of these wrongs we have
not gained the moral right to join in
the Christmas anthem of Peace On
Earth" Let US bear that fact in mind
this holiday time and do our individual
mite towards bringing the Christmas
spirit 365 days in the year to the
hearts and homes Of the unfortunate,
the oppressed and the downtrodden.
Having done this, the glow OF salts
faction of individual duty we'll per
formed viii bring peace to our hearts
and a realization Of what was meant
by the first great Reformer, when He
said "Inasmuch as We have done it unto
the least of these, my children"
