Don't you almost shiyer with ,thcm as their

The ragged little Nrchins, With the patches

Can you see them longing. yearning in

And forget them in your planning for

Oh. the little window wishers, baby hearts
and baby eyes, s.
with their trusting faith in Santa gazing
there in glad surprise
At the dollies and the soldiers and the
Teddy Bears, believing
That they win not be forgotten. Can you
see them without grieving?
Can YOU think of them on Christmas when

Oh, the little window wishers looking

At the wonders in the toy shops In sweet
chidhood's wistfu way,
Dreaming dreams Of Christmas stockings
filled with candles and with toys;
Just as full of faith and fancy as your own
girls and your boys,
these splendid things they view,
Can you rush by and forget them, don't
they touch the heart Of you?

The Nebraska Postmasters' associa-
ton seems to have become an organ
ization for the perpetustion of incum-
bents in office. This takes the matter
entirely out of the hands of the presi-
dent, the senators, the postmaster
general, the Civil Service commission
and all other agencies, but it remains
to be determined whether the organ
ization can secure an official in posses
sion of his ONCE in perpetuity. If it
can, the question is solved.

The discussion of city government
started by the AID club should be fol-

quality of city government, and what
ever changes are to be made in order
to secure greater efficiency in admin
istration should be thoroughly ad-
iusted before being admitted. The
city has suffered sufficiently from ex-
periments.

to quit attempting to punish transportation

Very serious consequences for Chairman
Knapp Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion may follow his recent speech at the
banquet Of the railroad supply men in
New York, in which he indicated pretty
clearly his sympathy with the demand for
increased freight rates, and this at a time
when the question was under investigation
by the body over which Mr. Knapp pre-
sides. A Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Record states that the feel
ing is so strong among other members of
the commission over the chairman's indis-
erection that Commissioner Clements took
occasion a few days later to declare In a
public speech that the utterances of Mr..
Knapp did not represent the sentiments of
is colleagues.
Still later, speaking from the bench of
the commission, Commissioner Lane made
similar statement. Attorneys for the as
sociations OF shippers who are fighting
the proposed increase in freight rates be-
fore the commission, whose hearings on the
question ended yesterday, have also taken
the matter up and the belief Is strong that
before the incident is closed it will be
made so embarrassing for Chairman
Knapp that he will be compelled to resign
his position. There are rumors that Presi-
dent Taft himself has been greatly an
noyed by the extraordinary course OF the
commissions chairman In publicly declar-
ing his bias in a case on trial before him.
The president regards the Interstate Com
nerce commission as at least a quasl-judi-
cial body and Is said 20 hold that the chair
man was guilty OF almost as great an
| improperly as would be a judge who
should announce his conclusions in a case
J that was on trial before him
| AT least three Of Chairman Knapp's col
leagues on the commission are reported to
hold that the chairman owes II to himself,
to the commission and to the public to re-
frain from taking part in the conferences
OF the body and from voting when It pro-
ceeds to make up its decision on the jus
tice OF the proposed increase in rates. This
feeling will be made known to the chair
man in due time, IL It has not already been
| done.
THE attorneys for the shippers, aided by
Mr. Brandeis, will ventilate the whole sub
! ject in a way that will be decidedly EN-
! baTrasslng to Chairman Knapp when they
make their final arguments in the case
| early in january. They will insist that
the speech of the chairman before the
railroad supply dealers association be
/ spread on the records Of the commission,
accompanied by evidence he admits he
had before him on the subject when he
made the speech. This evidence, the chair
man acknowledges, was not laid before his
! colleagues"
