The Pension Question.

The Sherwood one dollar day pen
sion law has passed the House of
representatives and is now pending in
the senate. This bill IL is estimated
will increase the amount paid In pen
sions TO the surviving soldiers Of the
Civil War S30,000,0O0 year. 1t is
rumored that President Taft will veto
the bill II 1t passes the senate on the
ground that the country can not afford
to pay this extra amount.
We donot know whether there is any
foundation for the report of the in
tended veto of the President. We
hope there is not as we believe, that IL
there is any class Of men who deserve
to be treated literally by the govern
ment it is the old soldiers. The OBJ
lection TO the increased expenditure
of the government TO meet this ad-
ditional charge and the tall of veto
on that ground seem unjust and un-
fair TO us. A nation that spends over
a billion of dollars a year certainly
will not he niggardly with it's defend
ers.
There is now no prospect, or proba-
bility of war between this country
and any other nation, still the Secre-
tary Of War very recently advocated
the increase Of the size OF the stand
ing army to an extent that would
cost more than the proposed increase
in pensions. Probably before this
session of congress is over appropria-
tions will be asked for battleships
that will exceed that amount.
Pleas are continually being made
for more battleships, for more men in
the army and navy, for forts navy
yards, barracks and many other
things for national defense. These
things are never too expensive and yet
whenever mention is made Of raising
the pensions of the soldiers the how
for economy and threat of veto Is
heard.
If this nation can not afford TO in
crease the amount being paid the ole
soldiers In pensions without decreas
ing expenditures In some othe
direction, why not do away with SOM
battleships that are used only for dis
play, some navy yards that are use'
only TO repair battleships that neye
meet an enemy, some forts that ar
never defended, some soldiers tina
never are called on to fight, some cost
ly military and naval displays tina
only are given for pride and pomI

An Ideal Christmas.

What does Christmas mean to you ?
How will you celebrate IT? Through
out the civilized world this day is more
universally observed than any other.
1t has become day for the giving Of
gifts one to another. 1t Is observed
in this way by many who do not be
lieve in the Christ, whose birthday is
celebrated But even we who believe
in him, do we observe the day on &C.
count Of our love and reverence for
him or because it has become a custom
TO give to our loved ones on this day &?
DO not most Of us do the things we do
without thought of what the day
really stands for, without any thought
of Jesus Christ and his teachings? ? Do
you give your gifts grudgingly as a
matter Of pride, because you expect
the ones TO whom you give. TO give you
something and you do not want to
receive something without also giving?
We may be wrong and we hope we
are, but we fear that few gifts will
be given OH Christmas in the spirit
and manner that Christ taught, with
out thought Of receiving anything in
return. without any vain or selfish
purpose. We will give to those we love
or TO those from whom we expect some.
thing i'm return. We will not 20 out
into the highways and hedges and look
for the poor and needy, the weary and
heavy laden, the sick and afflicted.
Further, our gifts will be largely
material ones, We will not give love
and service, kindly words and good
deeds, which we're the only but price
less gifts of the Master.
In the December number of the
Womans Home Companion is an
article by Rev. Charles +. Jefferson,
entitled What Christmas Might Be-"
After speaking Of some Of the evils Of
the present manner OF observing
Christmas he describes and ideal
Christmas.
How much better it would be If we
would only do as he suggests, and,
"If everyone with an enemy on
Christmas morning, would forgive
that enemy, II everybody with
grudge should throw ii away, If
everybody wi tn light heart
should radiate little of its bright
ness into a heart which is shadow
ed and depressed, If everybody
with hosts of friends should be
friendly toward some one who is
lonely and forlorn, If everybody
who has faith should share 1t with
some one who is unbelieving, II
everyone who has hope should let
shine on some one who is dispair-
full, and IL every one with loving
heart should kindle some heart
which has become loveless, then
the angels song would be heard
again, and around the world
there would be zone of heaven"

Presidential Situation.

In the last few weeks there has
been much discussion Of the probable
nominee for president on both the
Republican and Democrat tickets.
And there is now considerable uncer-
tainty as TO who the standard bearer
of either party win be. This sltua'
tion was expected I'm the Democrat
party as it is out of power, but In the
Republican party with President Taft
serving his first term it is unusual.
Several months ago a concerted
movement was started in what is
known as the progressive wing of the
Republican party TO defeat Taft for
denomination. This movement has
taken definite form and is recruiting
many followers. Here in Ohio, the
home of the president, leagues are be-
ing formed in every county for the
avowed purpose of defeating him for
denomination.
Senator Robert NJ. Lafollette, OF
Wisconsin, is an active candidate
against him. Col. Roosevelt is con
tinually mentioned by his admirers
and by wise politicians as the mar
who should be nominated. III the
sentiment Of the country generally
can be judged by the sentiment exist
ing in this county, Col. Roosevelt

would undoubtedly be the strongest
candidate the Republicans could
name His popularity is undimished
and his hold on the people is as great
as ever.
That unless the sentiment now ex-
listing radically changes, President
Taft can not he reelected does not
take seventh son OF a seventh son to
discern While with the great power
which his position gives him he may
be able TO force his denomination we
admit but IL he does 1t he is just as
certainly defeated. The handwriting
on the wall is so plain that even the
veriest political novice can read 1t
and all but the bllndest Office holder
see it
Senator Lafollette, who has been
for years the leader of the progressive
wing of the Republican party, will be
an opponent of President Taft before
the convention. We are great admir-
ers of Lafollette and consider him one
Of the big men Of the nation lie is
an indefatigable worker, hard stu
dent, absolutely honest and fearless,
a man of commanding ability, a con
structive statesman. lie has held
many positions of public trust, start
ing as prosecuting attorney of a
county in Wisconsin, later governor OF
that state and is now one of its United
States senators. lie has filed every
one Of these offices to the complete
satisfaction Of large majority of his
constituents. He is man who com.
mands the faithful support and strong
love of his followers and the uncom-
promising opposition and bitter enmi.
ty Of his opponents In this he much
resembles Roosevelt, there is no half
way ground, he is either loved or
hated There is no doubt but that
many influential Republicans would
not support him IL he was nominated.
When these three men are consid-
cred simply from one standpoint, who
can command the largest vote, Col
Roosevelt should be placed first, Sem
ator Lafollette second and President
Taft last. In making this statement
we are, Of course, basing our opinion
on what can be gathered from the
daily press and upon conditions as
they exist here at home.
We do not believe that our opinion
is based on prejudice as while we are
great admirers Of Roosevelt, think
him man Of remarkable ability,
great force OF character, thoroughly
honest, he does not come as near
representing our ideas and views as
Lafollette, and we have never wor-
SHIPPED at his shrine. Neither are we
bitterly opposed to Taft. While many
things in his administration have not
met with our approval, some Of his
policies could not be better and we
believe that he has been always work |
ing for what he considered the best |
interest Of all the people.
The Republican party now faces the
situation of certain defeat with Taft,
probable victory with Lafollette and
certain victory with Roosevelt. Under
these conditions it should mean
Roosevelt in 1912.

SALARY QUESTION IS UP
March 1 to Settle Schedule and Probably Handle Salary
 Matters

New Orleans. February 9.-(Specisl.) J. club owners will be called on to adopt at the annual spring meeting to be held in this city March l will give four clubs in the league a two-game advantage over the other four.
 Fourth of July and Labor Day games will be played in New Orleans. Atlanta. Birmingham and Chattanooga, and these four clubs will play two more games on their home grounds than Memphis, Mont gomery, Mobile and Nashville.
 This disposition of holidays is consid- cred to the financial advantage of the league. The receipts of the two games are proI ated, and it is believed that with New Orleans and Chattanooga playing holiday games on their home grounds this season the receipts will be much larger than ever
 New Orleans has never been conside red a very good holiday town, however. be- cause of the numerous picnics and festl- vals that take place here on the na- tional day and Labor Day, but as this city has had no league baseball or these days for the last three years the fans will no doubt welcome this change in the schedule.
 There will be little doing at the local meeting unless somebody brings up the salary matter. Whether this will be done remains with some of the clubs that think they will be under handicap un- der the present limit. New Orleans and Chattanooga don't want the present limit disturbed, but if the owners want to ring up the limit proposition they will have plenty of opportunity, for tfere Is not so much other business that this could be crowded off the calendar.
 It Is rot very likely that the maRnates will want to burden themselves with work at this meeting, especially If they come in time for the carnival. The meet ing will be called the day after the big show and the chances are few of the baseball men will feel like discussing such things as salary limits.
 The league will have to abandon its New Orleans headquarters, tfe St. Charles hotel. Manager Frank applied too late for meeting room and for &C., commodations for the visitors. The St. Charles and Grunewald had no TO om left and 1t looked for a while like tn. mag l.ates would have to be content with a seoond-class hotel. but accommodations were finally secured at the DeSoto hotel.
