BETHLEHEM TOWN.

AS was going to Bethlehem town
Upon the earth | cast me down
All underneath a little tree
That whispered in this wise to me:
ooh. | shall stand ON Calvary
And bear what burthen saveth thee.
AS up | Jared to Bethlehem town
| met a shepherd coming down,
And thus he quoth: "A wondrous
sight
Hath spread before mine eyes this
night,
An angel host most fair to see.
That sung full sweetly OF tree
That shall uplift on Calvary
What burthen saveth you and me-
And as I gat to Bethlehem town,
I.o. wise men came that bore crown<
is there, 'cried |, Sin Bethlehem
A King shall wear this diadem?
Good sooth," they quoth, land it is
he
That shall be lifted on the tree
And freely shed on Calvary
What blood redeemeth us and thee.
Unto a Child in Bethlehem town
The wise men came and brought the
crown,
And, while the infant smiling slept,
Upon their knees they fell and wept.
But with her babe upon her knee,
Naught rocked that Mother OF the
tree
That should uplift on Calvary
What burthen saveth all and me.
Again | walk i'm Bethlehem town
And think of him that wears the
crown.
I may not kiss his feet again
Nor worship him as | did then.
My King hath died upon the tree
And hath outpoured on Calvary
| What blood redeemeth you and me-.

Improvement in the market for the
leading metals has been one of the
most important recent factors in the
renewal of confidence on the part of
mining operators. Silver has advan-
ced and it is predicted that the up
ward movement will continue for
some time to come The advance In
this metal is assigned to various
causes and is probably due, not to
any one alone, but to their combina
ton. The remarkable political devel-
opments in China have been, perhaps
one of the chief causes. and the
closing imperial pageant in In
dia has also given temporary impe-
tins to the market 1t is the copper
situation, however, which is of still
greater interest and Importance.
Opinions differ as to the real signif-
icance and permanence of the in
creaesd strength of the red metal
but there is no doubt that it has
brought about a revival of interest
in the copper shares.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.

Years ago Shakespeare put some
fascinating words into the mouth
of Hamlet, words full OF old legend
and tradition, as when he refers to
the cock Growing for Christmas" as
it used to be called. The prince of
Denmark says:
Some say that ever 'gainst that sea
son comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is cele-
brate
The bird of dawnlng singeth all night
long,
And then. they say.no spirit can walk
abroad
The nights are wholesome. then no
planets strike.
No fairy takes nor with hath power
to charm
So hallowed and SO gracious is that
Everyone feels in that subcon-
scious region of himself commonly
known as the heart that the time Is
really hallowed and a gracious one,
but his mind may tell him that to
many the time is not so gracious as
it might be. Only to the few. per
haps. has Christmas ever been gra-
ciOus, but there are newly arisen
classes who have not even attained
Al joh n

masses. These have never had 1t, and

That there is still ample room for the
exercise of hope. Christmas Is the
on day in the year when the whole
world seems to feel a simultaneous
longing for what might be. One who
understands the meaning of modern
thought has written, CAN this world
is heavy with the promise of greater
things, and day will come-one day
III the unending succession of days
when beings who are now latent in
our thoughts and hidden in. our loins
will stand upon this earth as one
stands upon footstool and laugh and
reach out their hands among the
stars" This longing for a distant
ideal is the same feeling which surg

PALO VERDE VALLEY
(Palo Verde Valley Herald. }

John Shafer of San Jacinto, super
visor of this district, spent several
days in the valley the past week, in
order to familiarize himself with
conditions here in regard to county
affairs Mr. Shafer was very much
surprised at the changes and improve
ments that have taken place here
since his last visit and says this
district is advancing much more rap
idly than any other part of the desert
section OF Riverside county and he
realizes that the county should do
its part to keep the roads and other
matters UP to the highest possible ef-
ficiency Our road fund will be OF
very good proportions this year and
he has instructed Road Overseer
Archie MeClaren to make some need
ed improvements on Hobson Way al

!

although none has as yet been Off

I garding which one to select, and Mr.
| Shafer accompanied by Mr. A. L. Hob
son and p d. Mcintyre left Sunday
| TO investigate the road between here
and Vidal. to see if that route would
be practical
The road to Blythe Jc. has many
strong supporters by those ON the
mesa, who are much benefited by
that road, so the matter is TO be
thoroughly investigated before and
more money is expended or any az
ton taken
When asked regarding the redis
tricting of the county so as to have
supervisor to represent the desert
district Mr.. Shafef stated that the
matter could be brought about a.
soon as this section of the county. OF

ILLUMINATIvE CONTRAST

Happily, the Democratic candidate ficial record which is as open to the public eye, as is that of the Republi- can nominee, Coroner Wilson, hidden from view and examination by -'star chamber" methods. Publicity is as complete in the formers case, as is secrecy the *Mede and Persian rule in that of the latter. If there is aught in MT. Donnel'y's official rec ord which demands criticism, it is not hidden, but fully open to ''the conn mon eye"; if there is aught in MT. Wilson's official acts which deserves criticism, it is obscured by the clouds of a deliberate secrecy and can only be reached by such investigations as were made into, for instance. an auto mobile fatality in Stratford.
 As Aldermana as Senator, as Col lector, MT. Donnelly's record is with out blemish. It is not .'tarred" with any lodging of issues. His official acts have ever been in the interest of the people. Corporations have never classed him among their tools. Poli- tical or corporate bosses do not own him. Witness, his speech accepting ehe Mayorial nomination which was not prepared in advance and was un- doubtedly sincere:

Burglars in Auto
Break in Greenwich Houses and Get Booty-Scared by a
 Bulldog

Greenwich. Oct. 30-A burglar who came and left ih an automobile driven by his chauffeur, early yesterday en- tered the homes of Charles Hewitt and pr. w. l.. Fowler, taking two over- coats and $500 worth of silverware from the Hewitt and an overcoat and a small sum of money from the doc tors house: Entrance to the Hewitt home was obtained by forcing a win dow, opening on to the front porch. In the dining room the burglar re- gailed himself with the contents of a decanter of wine and then made a selection of the best silver From the dining room he started upstairs, a bulldog in Mr. Hewitt's room heard him and parked. \
 Frightened, tAe burglar ran down. stairs for the front door, falling over table on his way, but managed to get to. the door and open and close it before the dog arrived. Mir. Hew- Ut followed the dog witAa revolver, but could not get near enough to the man to get a good shot.
 A milkman who arrived at the house soon after the burglars de- parture, told of seeing the man with the coats on his arm running up the street. and of his getting into an au- tomobile which was waiting for him and departing at high speed down the post road. Entrance to the Fowl CT house was gained in manner similar to that of the Hewitt home. The man evidently did not go beyond the hall, probably being frightened by a noise in the upper part of the house.

MASKING THE BUSINESS
 FROM THE COMMON EYE"

Secrecy appears to be the ruling method of Coroner Wilson's activities in public life and official station. Its motive and purposes are obviously in- tended to be occult, but this intention miscarries. None are so blind or so obtuse as to misunderstood motive or intention, whether the secrecy applies to coroners' Investigations or to con- ferences with political bosses and comparative powers. Nor is it diff cult to predict the carefully pre- arranged results of such secrecy if the plans matched hereunder attain their full fruition.
 In the event of MT Wilson's cleo tion to. the, Mayoralty what, in view of his official record, might reason ably be expected? If his Mayorial power or his influence would permit, could we not reasonably expect secret sessions of all departmental boards and Apportionment? Publicity being the main safeguard of the peoples in- terests, what of adverse character thereto might not be expected from such secrecy and is enforced in coron- CTS inquests when applied to all de- partments of our city government? !? year water contract was pulled off behind locked doors.
 Do the voters of Bridgeport desire city affairs to be conducted under the policy of masking the business from the common eye.''

been submitted, so that bail was final ly given for him.
 The result everybody knows The case against Peterson was nolled a few days ago by States Attorney Judson.
 Here was a characteristic result of secrecy in a judicial place.
 The wealthy students, backed by parents powerful in national politics went scot FREE.
 The motorman, without money, or powerful friends went to JAIL.
 Coroner Wilson says that he now believes in publicity. But does he? Has he not bound. himself hand and foot to the policies which have been approved by De Yer H. Warner" and Messrs. King and Lavery Does not this pledge show the same strain ing upon Coroner Wilson's part to meet the demands of wealth and privilege. Does this pledge not show the same contempt for public opinion and the rights of the masses
 Coroner Wilson has not pledged himself to the people of Bridgeport He has not pledged himself to the Republican party. He has pledged himself 10 carry out the policies of the coterie of men who made the 20 year water contract possible, who want water to go unfiltered, who want to sell gas at the highest price, and who would insist upon the sale of six trolley tickets for a quarter.
 In the very nature of the bargain such an administration as the coroner would give as Mayor must be filled with secrecy.
