1t was in the Christmas time that
he left us and as the anniversary of
his death draws near the sadness of
the hearts of those who knew and
loved him best, is intensified. His sun
went down while it was yet day, and
to those of us that are left to mourn
his unseemly taking off, to human
hearts and minds, yet we should real
izc that God makes no mistakes, and
what to us seems dark now, shall
be made clear hereafter" He was the
only son of his parents, his father
preceded him to the grave years ago.
One of the saddest features of his
death to me was, che was the only
son of his mother and she widow
Besides his aged mother who today
fourns like Rachel of old for her
child and will not be comforted" he
leaves On afectionate wife, six little
children and three loving sisters to
mourn his death.
May the spirit Of Him who came to
make the world better and brighter, in
Bethlehem's hills, bring peace to the
hearts that today grieve sorely and
may we all heed the solemn Injunction
He uttered on Judea's plain BE we
also ready, for in such an hour as ye
think not the Son of Man cometh."

MEAT ~ExToRTIoN.

There is food for reflection in the
following editorial comment Of The
New York Evening Sun, on an in
teresting happening during Wilson's
visit to Bermuda:
That was a happy accident that en-
abled P~resident-elect Wilson at Ber-,
muda to, witness the Bermuda way of
meeting the -extortionate American
beef trust prices prevailing there.
The Bermuda government decided
that Argentine cattle would do more
han talk. Accordingly, a shipioad Of
beef on-the-hoof' came into Hamil-
ton.
Presto, down went the market price
Of beef! The whole operation, which
was witnessed by the governor of
Bermuda. Mr.. Wilson and a large part
Of the population should be highly
enlightening to some Of our states
men.
The Evening Sun long ago pointed
out that Argentina, Uruguay, Canada,
New Zealand, Australia, are eager to
break our meat famine prices with
their abundant supplies of beef, NUT
ton and pork.
How long will our beautiful tariff
tax cattle PIN per cent and meat %
per cent on the average, while the
families of our poorer citizens go
without meat?
The tax upon food, for the benefit
of monopoly, should be stopped.

onel Goethals should be rewarded by
promotion in rank, and to that end
that the rank of general In the army
be revived, for his benefit. There are
protests urged against this. based upon
the fact that this rank has been re-
served in the past for a very few men
who have distinguished themselves
most in war, and that it would. be in
appropriate to give the highest rank
in the army as a reward for services
not strictly military in character. Yet
Colonel Goethals is an educated SOL
der. There is no reason to doubt that
the qualities which have won him his
conspicuous position as the foremost
of the worlds great engineers would
be displayed in the more strictly mill
tary side Of his profession should the
occasion arise.
There is q real obligation on the
part of the country to give Goethals
suitable recognition for his great serv-
ice, and it does not appear that there
is any other suitable way open than
by giving him promotion to the head
Of his profession.

COCKTAILS REWARD.

There is a large amount of discus
sion over the question how congres
is to proceed to make a suitable recog-
milton of the great work done by Col
onel Goethals in the completion of
the Panama canal. 1t seems to be
taken for granted that the achieve
ment must not go without some suit
able reward being paid by congress to
the man primarily responsible for the
successful conclusion Of the most gil
gantic task done by human hands in
the worlds history, but the subject
presents a number of difficulties.
There is no precedent for direct
money grants to be made by congress
to any public servant for my services,
no matter how distinguished. Such
awards have often been made in Eng
land, but generally in connection with
the comforting of a title in the peerage,

CHRISTMAS FIRES.

The National Fire Protection asso-
citation has issued a holiday fire bulle-
tin which contains wholesome and
timely advice which the public would
do well to heed. 1t is pointed out
that light, iniammable decorations
make fires easy to start and easy to
spread, and that a match, a gas flame,
or an electrical defect may do it.
In warnings for the home against
the perils Of holiday fires, it Is pointed
out that many children are burned to
death from Christmas candles. and
the advice is given not to decorate
your Christmas tree with paper, cot
ton, or many infiammable materials,
but instead use metallic tinsel and
other non-infammable decorations,
and set the tree securely, so that the
children, in reaching for things, can
not tip it over.
The important "don'ts' essential to
the safety Of the home and children
should be remembered by every par
ent-don't use cotton, but asbestos fl
bre to represent cotton; don't permit
children to light OIL relight the can
dies while the parents are absent;
don't leave matches within reach of
children at holiday .times-for, as the
holiday bulletin declares, "a house of
merriment is better than a house of
mourning"
II the warnings against the perils
OF fire to both life and property during
the holiday season were needed and
reasonable care exercised, there would
be a different story to tell from the
one that is generally told, for there
would be less property fire loss and
less loss of life.
To say nothing of the appalling
death rate due to the absurd customs
at Christmas times, it is shown that
the avoidable or preventabIe fire losses
are M and ought not to be.
Let there be a sane Christmas, thai
the fire loss may be less and the death
rate reduced.

TOYS AND CHILD NATURE.

Toys are now made with works as
ingenious, and in proportion to their
size, as capable as mechanism which
have to earn someone a living.
A toy yacht can be bought for q
child, if one can afford it, which runs
with gasoline, steers true to course,
whistles, rings bells. all in the length
and breadth of a bathtub.
For something a little less than 500
may be bought a grocery store that
is true to pattern ven to the -four on
the groceryman's shoulder. There are
miniature circuses, pianos with a full
set Of keys n trains that will go
through a wreck most obligingly. For
the making of toys there is no end
until the pocketbooks of fond parents
will have been exhausted.
Yet in spite Of all this skill and en-
terprise in the toy-making industry,
dealers say that dolls, toy soldiers,
trumphets and drums remain the prime
favorites. They have not been dis
placed nor are there signs that they
ever will be displaced. They have
been improved to suit a more discrim-
mating or particular taste.
But where children have any choice
in the selection of their toys they go
unerringly in the things their fathers
and mothers, their forbears in the dim
reaches of time, played with and CEN
tered their affections upon. The little

spect and loyalty. The doll holds a
place in the childish heart to which
a 1885, reproduction of the court of
King George cannot gain title.
The key that opens the door of
childish affection was fashioned long
ago when the world was young. From
the lips Of the toyman it is learned
that the same old key is just as serv-
iceable as ever.

the right sort of a tonic and dinu-

I do not approve of the fresh air
treatment as applied by the doctors

going to tell why. It Is sufficient for
me to say now that the doctors have
