Opposes the Administration
Railroad Bill.
ARRAIGNS WICKERSHAM
Charges Undue Haste in Dismissing
Prosecution Against Merger in
New England.

Senator La Toilette today took the Sem
ate floor for the purpose Of making his
long promised speech in opposition to the
administration railroad bill. The speech
was severe arraignment Of the Depart
ment Of Justice. The Wisconsin senator's
remarks were largely devoted to the pro-
visions Of the bill authorizing the acqui-
sition of the stock of one company by
another, and he used the merger of the
Boston and Maine Company with the
New York. New Haven and Hartford as
the basis of his accusations.

Wainwright Can Be Surveyor.

State Senator Wainwright of West
chester county. n. Y, has been offered
the position of surveyor of the port Of
New York by President Taft and has the
offer under Amusement. Mr.. Wainwright,
accompanied by Secretary MacVeagh
conferred with the President yesterday
afternoon. 1t Is doubtful If he will ac-
cept the position, preferring to remain in
the state senate. He is a longtime per-
sonal friend of the President and his
nomination would be satisfactory to Sem
atOr Root.
Representative Alexander, chairman Of
the House committee on rivers and har-
bors, was with the President today. Mr..
Alexander said that the Senate had added
eighty amendments to the House BILL as
against from $50 to 300 in other years
Most of the Senate amendments would
have been added in the House, he said, IL
the House committee had been in possess
sion of the reports at the time. Mr.. Alex
ander thinks the river and harbor bill
will go through with little opposition.

But They Saved Their Honor.

There was once an old gray
haired legislator whose son, in
the heat of passion, had shed
human blood. Important legis-
lation which he and his constitu-
ents favored was pending, and
the old man, accompanied by the
heart.broken wife and mother,
visited the son, saying he could
have his freedom if the father
would vote against the legisla-
ton indicated. To this the son
gave answer:
Dad, don't sell your honor for
my release. Do not betray the
people who elected you for my
freedom. I prefere that you
would do your duty as a faithful
representative"
The old man refused to Sell
his vote for his sons liberty, and
the son is still in prison.-Nash-
vile Tennessean.
But they saved their honor.
even at the cost of liberty; and
that's the kind of a father [ ad
mire, and that's the kind of son
l love. But it required courage,
now didn't it, to act as this faith
er aud son acted? They remem-
bered thelr people, God bless
them, and betrayed them not.
And that's the kind of men who
should be in public demand.-

100 pounds of self-content to the

world could not get on as well without
you. Stop looking at the dark side
of life. Stop furnishing your friends
with the minute particulars of your
bodily ailments. Stop taking pessi-
mistic views of men, things and the
theory of the universe. Stop working
too hard. Stop working not hard
enough. Stop writing to famous peo-

hope or fear will give to them. 1t is
almost. unfortunate that giving and
taking has become such a feature of
our Christmas celebration because the
mere gift is incapable of expressing
the spirit Of this occasion, and the oc-
casion itself has become a burden to
many because it has been SO much
abused. 1t is not by giving lavishly
that we honor Christ whose birth we
celebrate. but by sharing unseltishly
every good thing we possess. This
puts the best things of Christmas
within reach of every human life and
enables every human being however
poor in goods to give generously of
whatever else he has. We all have
much. Is money denied US, then let
us give what is better, d word to
cheer, a smile to awaken hope, some
thing out Of our hearts treasure.
Who would not rather get a cordial
message from a friend that would ex-
press his thought and appreciation,
than to get a dollar trinket? What
heresy to think that we cannot express
an unselfsh love at Christmas time
except by lavish use of money.
