, PRIMARY FOR POSTMASTER.

The purpose of the postoifice Is TO
serve the people. 1t is not to provide
q Job for some party favorite. The
aim of the postoffice department is to
give the country an efficient postal
service. To do this it must have eff
cient postmasters or it's aim will be
defeated. The one man of the fifteen
or twenty candidates for postmaster
of Columbia who should have the job
is he who will be the most efficient.
Under our present system, the office
goes as spoils to the political party
in rover, but that is no excuse for
not giving the place to the most effi-
cient candidate. Shall there be pre-
ferential primary to name the man
that the people want for postmaster?
If a preferential primary will put the
best man on the job, let's have it. If
a better man will get the place with
out a primary, let's not have it. It's
a question of efficiency, not expedi-
ency.

ficient Democratic majorities, will be
able to pass policies and measures
promulgated by the party for the last
sixteen years. An extra session Will
be called to deal at once with the
matter of the tariff. Leaders have
promised new duties will be framed
along the we'll established lines OF
Democratic principles. President
elect Wilson, speaking of the party as
n whole. assures the business inter-
ests of the country that the adjust
ment will be made slowly and with
careful consideration.
The next important step, no doubt,
will be consideration of the Sherman
antitrust bill, which Democratic leg
islators have arraigned so severely.
Supplemental legislation, defining
what a trust is and making more Sc
we're the criminal penalties for VIOLA
tions, has been promised. 1t is also
expected that the income tax amen0
ment to the Constitution will become
law, for it probably will be ratified by
the requisite three-fourths of the
states in January.
Beside dealing with these subjects,
men high in the party council have
decreed that all promises made at the
convention in Baltimore and embodies
III the party platform will be kept.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS AD.

The first Christmas advertisement
of the year has appeared. 1t came
out in magazine not many days ago.
1t was not large and was stuck in
an out-of-the-way corner. But it was
decorated with holly leaves and that
was enough to attract attention.
There had been no thought of
Christmas before. 1t seemed as though
last Christmas was only a few weeks
ago. But here it is coming again.
That first Christmas ad stimulates
reflection. With the children it
awakens great joy. The rapture of
anticipation is marred only by the
long drag of days until the great day
comes. The time is counted by days
and weeks-usually by weeks, for it
sounds shorter. There are unending
lists of longed-for things to be made
out for the instruction of Santa Claus.
These lists never lack completeness.
No woman shopping on her husbands
money ever had more perfect one.
To the student, this Christmas ad
suggests going home. And lurking in
some stratum of the consciousness is
the unconquered question, "What can
l buy for her with a dollar and a
half?"
This advertisement has the shock of
a black-hand letter to one person. He
knows it is only part of conspiracy
to assault and carry off the feeble
contents of his pocketbook and his
weak balance in the bank. He shud-
ders at the thought of the deadly con-
fict and he knows the invaders will
come off more than conquerors. He
bears in his check book the marks OF
many of these Christmas shopping
campaigns. This unpensioned veteran
is no other than father. This first ad
makes him think he would like to be
a unreformed Scrooge But of course
he wouldn't.

The theme and all his subjects of any
rank or wealth, sex or age, are invited
to compete.
Flower arrangement is very fash
iOnable accomplishment. Every girl
of good family takes lessons in this
art which is taught in the highest
class schools. 1t is said that five years
time is needed for a thorough course
in this, taking regularly one lesson
a week.
The Tea.Taking Ceremony.
Ceremonial Tea. or Cha-no-yyu," i"
is one of the most interesting Japanese
customs. 1t is really the solemn and
elaborate ritual of cup of whipped
tea and is quite distinct from ordinary
serving and drinking of tea. Numer-
Gus schools have been established
where this is taught. The tea used
for the ceremony is ground to a fine
green powder. At the right time this
is put into a tea bowl, not an ordi-
nary cup, by means of a dainty bam-
boo dipper hot water is poured into
it and the infusion is then whisked to
a froth with beater. The bowl of
tea is then placed upon the left hand
and the host moves around slidingly
and offers it in order of precedence to
the first guest. who solemnly receives
it with a profound bow. The tea must
be drunk in three sips and at this time
the guest admires the bowl, which may
often be a valuable piece of porce-
lain.
Sasaki says he expects to return to
Japan when he has completed his I'm
iversity course here. He is studying
engineering.

PEACE TO JOAQUIN MILLER.

The encroachments of civilization
have crowded close upon the declining
days of Joaquin Miller, Poet of the
Sierras". This aged bard, happy in
his home life, is spending his days in
a small cottage which clings costly
on the side of a California foot-hill,
overlooking the city of San Francisco
and the Golden Gate.
Quiet and serenity now mark the
passing days of this grizzled old man.
He came into the great West when it
was young. He came with the pio-
neer, the gold-digger, the ax-man and
the Indian fighter. He has lived his
life in the great out-of-doors, fished
in the swift mountain streams of CAL
ifornia, plodded through the frozen
morasses of Alaska in search of gold,
and hunted in the denseness of the
Rockies. He has known the hardships
of the man who clears the pathways
and makes, way for others. He was
true pioheer.
The career of this "man of many
parts" is protean in the extreme. He
lived for a time among the Indians,
! taught them the Christian religion,
for he is preacher as we'll as bard,
and took to himself an Indian WIFE
Later the call of his own people be-
came strong and he left his life
among the aborigines of the Western
states and Joined his white compa-
triots.
He has written many poems of the
outdoor life which he knew so init
mately. His writings lack the trite-
ness of many compositors of the pres
ent day. They are characterized by a
sparkling, fresh, gladsome style, with
now and then a reference to the So
lemnity and the loneliness which he
loves so we'll. There is nothing arti-
ficial or unnatural to the writings OF
JOAQUIN Miller-they embody the
philosophy of one who has lived apart
from the strivings and vanities OF
modern city life. They are refresh
ing, exhilerating, breathing an air Of
the woods, Of pine trees and salubri-
Gus salt breezes.
JOAQUIN Miller, yesterday" young
and vigorous, now old and grizzled
has received the wish of his modest
poem, sitting juietly on the hillside
looking forth across the blue of the
placid Pacific, he drinks the winds
as drinking wine."
