Gov. Hadley's name has been
suggested for vice-president for
the next campaign. The sugges-
ton is a good one, as he would
give the ticket strength in the
West, especially in Missouri, and
would make an able official if
elected.

The Christmas Spirit

1t is Christmas time, and at this
moment the call is to lift up our
hearts and welcome the Light of
the World, to rest for a while in
the glory of that light; not, in
deed, forgetting the lesson He
would have us learn, nor those
great servants of His who taught
us to know and love and work,
and have passed away; but in
thankfulness and alteration seek
ing to learn more and more how
He would have us serve Him.
The inspiration OF this blessed
time should bring us a deeper
sense of personal responsibility,
and OF our duty to our neighbor
in regard to questions touching
the general welfare; and beyond
all, a deeper faith, that faith by
which mountains a be removed
and "a truer love, a devotion
that a bear even the reproach
of the cross, if permission may
but be granted to share in bear
ing a part of that burden.
The advent OF Christ makes us
debtors to God and man. 1t is
therefore not for us to question
whether others are kind to US, as
whether there is love, gentleness,
meekness, sympathy and helpful
ness in u lives, or not. With
this spirit OF the season reflected
and perpetuated in the life Christ
mas giving will resolve itself into
Christ-like giving every day from
Christmastide to Christmastide nof
every year of grace. Christ came
not to be m~inistered unto, but to
minister, to suffer, and to die for
others, even his enemies. Rising
far above the lower aim of getting
and gaining solely for self, the
grateful heart will ask !. "What cam
give to my Redeemer who gave
himself for me, and what can / do
for others, for his sake, and the
gospels" This is the reincarna-
ton OF the Christ spirit, exalts Him
who said Sand I, if I be lifted up,
will draw all men unto MEEK.

GOOD SHOW IS
.LOTTERY MAN"

William Resell in "The Lottery Man." comedy in three acts by Rida Johnson Young, was presented at the Elks Theater yesterday, matinee and night MT. Resell in the part of Jack Wright, the newspaper reporter, really pleased his audience at both performances. His breezy manner and fine stage appearance won his audience completely. He is also an actor of great ability in the part he is now playing and hi" company is also without an excep- tion highly pleasing.
 The play itself could not help but please. The very sense, a real live newspaper reported with lots of nervee 9 pretty young heiress, common sense and effectiotate mother, one comedienne made by nature and another one whose comedy was never failing, is enough to thrill an audience without the simple yet in- teresting plot around which the variety of characters weave a good comedy in the three acts. MT. Resell is the star at all times while on the stage. The natural comedienne is one ViVia Ogden who takes the part of Lizzie Roberts. This female who gives the impression of a long, small straw that may be bent in any shape, evoked pity when she first made her appearance. Her natural appearance drew laughs during one, entire act, and during the other two she took an active part in the play, as she was the lucky winner of Jack Wright, the handsome Lottery Man" who gave himself away i'll raffIe in consideration of a 5000 which he owed the owner of his paper and story which he was unable to pay.
 The story goes that the young man after making the deal to offer him. self in the raffle, falls in love with Helena Heyer. the pretty heiress. This he discovers just as the story an- nouncing the raffle goes to press. He decides to be game, but openly ad- mits that the charming young lady Is the first that he ever gave sec- ond thought. The women go wild over the raffle and 300.000 chances are sold at $1 each. The climax is found to be the wine rof the coveted prize, handsome Jack Wright. In the last act Lizzie Roberts reigns su- preme with Jack impending as her groom. It is in this act that 1t was found that Lizzie won the Lottery Man on a chance that did not belong to her rightfully. compromise is made and the play ends happily as Jack wins the pretty girl. Francis T. Gillen as "Foxey' Peyton, Jacks friend and the owner of the paper, takes a prominent part as does Flor ence Robertson as his mother. Lu- eia Morre in the role of Jacks wtd- owed mother fills in a prominent place and is splendid as mother who is practically 'daffy' over ne- son.
