A MERRIE CHRISTMAS.

Christmas has come again. the
season Of special devotion and low
ing remembrance. Again we shall
hear the story of the humble Child
or Bethlehem, sent by our common
Father that the world thru Him
might be saved. Again "Peace on
Earth Good Will to Men, shall re-
sound all thru the world. The
world has heard the message for
hundreds Of years, and tho it's full
filIment is as yet afar off, there is
no doubt more of loving service and
self sacrifice, today than ever
before. We are coming more and
more to see that the message of the
lowly Nazarene was the most won
derful ever given to men and that
the example of his life has wrought
the greatest changes in the life and
being of the people of the earth.
Let US be thankful for this message
and this life and let US all prove
our thankfulness by our manner OF
dealing with those with whom we
live and labor. 1t is the only way
we can prove to the world the faith
that is within US.
And so, with this thought ir
mind, we extend to every reader OF
the Tribune our heartiest wishes
for a Happy Christmas.

Appreciated at Home.

In Denver are a couple Of sisters
who are trying to make Il living as
artists. Their father, who lives in an.
other town, is fairly well to do, and
not month goes by but what the
girls have to write home for money
with which to pay" expenses. Recent
ly one of the girls saw a little story in
magazine and thought it funny. In
it one man asks another how his son
is getting along in the city. VERY
well indeed replied the other. Hes

Our First Cocoa.

The first newspaper notice that an
nounced the sale Of cocoa and choco-
late in America read:
"Amos Trask, at his house, a little
below the Bell tavern, in Danvers,
makes and sells chocolate which he
will warrant to be good and takes CO.
Goa to grind. Those who may please
to favor him with their custom may
depend upon being we'll served and at
a very cheap rate:'
This notice appeared in the Essex
Gazette of Massachusetts on the 18th
Of June. It'll. five years before the
signing of the Declaration of indie
pendence. Despite Mr.. Trask's assur-
ance that his rate was cheap, choco-
late was very expensive and beyond
the purse of any but the wealthy folk.

THE PRIMARY LAW.

A correspondent in the Open
Court last night, apropos of we
know not what, complained that un-
der the present primary election

to butting-in tactics where they
have no contest on their own side, "
and that "they throw their support

It seems to US that we have heard
that before. or something very like
it.
Those who are at heart bitterly
hostile to the principle of direct
nominations, who hate the primary
system for the good there is in il
and not for the defects that admit.
tedly exist. are apt to base their
criticisms on some such plea as
that.
So many people have said it SC
often. that a lot of people have
come to believe it to be true that
members of one party go into the
primaries Of another party to nom
mate weak candidates in the expec-
tation that they will prove easy tc
beat at the polls.
But it isn't true, and it never has
been true.
1t is true that where one party is

Dancer Of Rest In Sprains.

Sprained ankles and knees are COM
monest on the football field, and we
fancy that it has been largely from
the experience gained in treating these
football injuries that surgeons have
come to realize the danger Of rest.
Gradually it has become evident that
most Of the disability after sprains
resulted not from the sprain, but from
the treatment. the unhealthy stagna-
ton Of fluid about an unused joint, the
resulting adhesions and muscular afro
ply. Now our football surgeons treat
their sprains by massage and moderate
exercise from the outset, thus avoid

Sanctuary Laws.

Sumptuary laws are laws, now gen
orally obsolete enacted in the sup
posed interest of public morals to re-
strain extravaganza in private expend-
iture. especially in matters of food.
dress and amusements. They abound
ed in ancient Greece and Rome and

England from the time Of Edward II.

early as the time of Charlemagne
(76S-S14) and continued to be enacted
as late as the seventeenth century, but
in neither country do they appear to
have been enforced to any great eX-
tent. Sumptuary laws were repealed
in England in 1856.

Maqnetic Storms.

Contrary to the general belief. mag
netic disturbances do not begin at the
same moment all over the globe. In
stead of that they progress round the
earth. In the case of abrupt dis
turbances, which are usually compara-
lively minute in their effect on the
compass needle, the complete passage
round the earth requires from three
to four minutes. For the bigger ef-
fects OF for the greater magnetic

see elected, and because that is the
only place where any opportunity
of choice is offered them. If they
refrain from doing so. they arc
practically DISTINGUISHED.
Perhaps there is hypocrisy in this
practice, and if so there is but one
remedy: throw down the bars alto
gether on local Offices and let the
voters nominate the candidates they
please regardless Of party. Put all
the candidates for local Offices on
one primary election ballot. and
elect every voter who wishes to do
so go in freely and make his choice.
The assumption that every Repub-
lican who goes into a Democratic
primary election and every Demo-
crat who goes into the Republican
primaries does so in order to NOM
mate weak men So they can he beat
en- at the polls, is so far from the
truth that it is amazing that any,
body should adopt it.
There may have been such cases
since the primary election law was
adopted in this state, but they have
been so rare that none of these crit
les are able to specify them. Taw-
: ney, when he was defeated at the
primaries, charged the Democrats
with doing it for the sake of the
Demo crati &c candidate. If the
Democrats of the First district
went into the Republican primaries,
as doubtless many of them did, they
went in to vote for the man they
thought best fitted to represent the
people of his district. and they voted
for him at the polls. An analysis
of the vote at both primary and
general election proves that conclu.
sively.
If it we're true that Democrats
have adopted the practice of going
into Republican primaries to vote
for weak candidates so that they
could be easily beaten at the cleo.
ton, there ought to be results tc
show for it. In point of fact the
Democrats, the whole state though
and not counting the governorship
with which the primary election sys'
tenn, unfortunately, has nothing t.
do, are not now electing so many
candidates as they were under the
old convention system. -Dulutf
