WHAT SHALL LEE WEARY

Now that question as to what Lee
shall wear at the inaugural ball has
been raised, it is well that it be thor
oughly threshed out and settled once
and for all before we go any further
with preparations for the occasion.
In an emergency so grave, when
the honor. peace and dignity of the
commonwealth are at stake, it is no
time for temporizing; halfway meas
ures will not suffice. The situation is
one which must be dealt with calmly
and disnassionately but firmly and
fearlessly. It Is up to every patriotic
citizen, every true lover of democracy
to declare himself unequivocally on
every Doint at issue and we demand
that Col. Barefoot, Bill Edwards, Bob
Wilson, Judge Askew, Bob Richards,
Rev Andrew p, Johnson and every
other prominent citizen Of the COM
munity go on record. We serve notice
now that in such a crisis it win not
answer to say. 1T is not political
issue, I'm willing to leave it to the
people, that won't do, not by jugful,
we must have an open, candid declara-
tion.
It is not a question which Lee is at
liberty to decide for himself. Of
course, if he had a wife, it would be
different-all of this talk would never
have been called for-but as he has
none, the humbIest citizen of the state
is entitled under the constitution and
laws, to have a voice in it.
II is true that Lee openly repudiates
the spike-tail, otherwise known as the
claw-hammer coat, boldly avowing his
intention to don a Prince Albert. but
that isn't all Of it. We seriously ques-
ton whether merely as a governor
elect he has any authority for such
high-handed act; it is possible that an
Injunction will lie in such case-you
can ask Judge Grigsby about that-but
even if the coat proposition is to be
regarded as settled there looms up
another issue still more serious: Shall
Lee wear a stove-pipe hat? There,
now, fellow citizens, what have you TO-
say as to that? Manifestly from the
point Of view of craftsmanship, the
lid question must be placed at the top
Of the list in importance. We insist
that Lee should give us his views in
advance on this matter and if he
doesn't do it voluntarily, some enter
prising reporter should apply plaster
to him at once and draw them out
He is to be the governor of all the
people and we have a right to know
how he stands-''let the people rule :"
Personally, We would be willing to
let Lee wear anything he blame
pleases, but as before remarked it is
not a personal issue but a vastly
broader one, the future welfare Of the
commonwealth bound up in it. Then
again, we would be glad to see him
wear the sort Of duds that the best
usage prescribes-indeed that's 'our
candid opinion as to what he ought to
do, but the people. we assert again,
must rule and there must be no jug
Cling with the popular will. It is UP
to the sovereign voters Of the state to
declare their wishes.

AMERICAS CROPS.

The latest statistics received from
the department Of agriculture tell of
the production of wheat, both winter
and spring, oats, rye, and barley, these
being the chief grain crops of the
United States. They show that in the
aggregate, including corn, American
farmers grew and harvested. in the
year 1910, a little more than 5,OO0,0OO,-
600 bushels of grain, more than half of
which was Indian corn. There is
nothing like this in the history of the
world, so far as history records agri-
cultural production. Such a crop ex-

HAIL, HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

Howdy, old santa-glad to see you.
You're bully good fellow and we like
you
To be frank with you, old man, we
have always had tender spot in our
heart for you We remember when
you used to come down the chimney
through the big fre-place-we know
it because we saw your tracks. And
you put oranges, nuts and red-striped
stick candy into our stockings-may
not much more, but 1t made us just
as happy as any youngster will be to-
morrow if he gets a wagon load OF
toys. Sometimes You brought US red

we felt when we set our blinkers on
those boots.
But say, Sanity, we hove yo' in the
same old way" even if your sleigh is
in the scrap heap and your reindeer
are turned out forever in the ghost
pasture-youre just the same in your
honking gasoline wagon, because your
heart is still big and warm and your
mission is to bring gifts to men and
women and, best Of all, to children.

and sorrow, to beauty, holiness and
happiness.
Through centuries Christmas has
come and gone, its recognition and
celebration being a monument to the
greatest event in the history Of time.
From the lowly manger in Bethlehem
the Light has gone forth to the utter
most parts Of the earth till its bene-
iicient beams pervades the civilized
world Dark places there are in home
lands and in distant lands, in human
lives OF high and low estate every
where, but through the ages it has
slowly but surely been surrendering
its dominion and the kingdom Of light,
truth, justice and love grows from
more to m5re till the prophetic eye
catches a vision Of that "far- off divine
event to which the whole creation
moves" and every succeeding, Christ
