terrific speed and crashed into the
rear of the freight the engine of No.

all the requirements and gave perfect
satisfaction in every detail. The gen
orators were operated at test of 900

| test with a temperature rise that did
not exceed q degrees, Fahrenheit. For

Mach Gained at
Very Little Cost
DR.. MINOR APPEALS TO PUB1xc
TO BUY RED CROSS
a SEALS,

To those who have faith I'D The fE-
ture of our country and in the s1ccess
of the experiment in civil government
which was begun in these United
States, in 1776, there are few more
encouraging things than the increAs-
ing altruism of our citizens shown BIZ
the increasing interest which they
take in the many movements which,
while they promise them no personal
advantage, aim ~ improve the race BY
helping to lessen sickness and pot
erty and suffering in their less fortE
nate brothers. OF such movements
there are few which can so justly a4
peal to all of US as does the Red Gross
Christmas Seal movement, which an
nually gathers from the kind hearts
in our midst during the Christmas
season money wherewith to lignteH
the terrible burden OF suffering around
us.
OF all the causes of suffering IN this
world, there is none that can vie with
tuberculosis, which yearly claims
seventh of all those who cross to the
other side; and, moreover, reduces to
beggary, and too often to crime the
many who are dependent upon these
sick workers for their support. Their
fore, it seems to me that It should
only be necessary to call this splendid
charity to the attention of our cif1ens
in order to have it we'll supported, and
to guarantee that everyone during the
glad Christmas season, when III
hearts are softened and purse Strings
loosened, will take the trouble tD re
| member it, and in the midst Of aaeir
happiness to remember also the hap
piness of the many who are less Tor
tunate than they. 1t will only demand
Of us all little forethought, little
trouble and a trifing expense, and
, so generous people as ours VIE not
allow an appeal for such charity to
! fall on closed ears. Let US all, then,
make this Christmas notable by re
membering the Red Cross Seal and
by taking pains to see that one surh
is affixed to every present we send IN
those we love and to every letter that
goes carrying words of good cheer TO
ur friends

Ia for elimination has not only
reached the political mind, but it
has entered the government it
self. We appear to be living
tindera form Of government by in
tlietncnt.
Much Of what Mr.. Choat describes
has been observed by others. Certain
portions of the public seem to de-
light in sensational charges, especi-
ally when made against public officials
and it seems to be quite immaterial
whether whether the charges are TRUE
or false. When the laws Of this couh-
try were in formative stage, the En-
glish system of presuming a man in
hocent until proved guilty was copi?
ed in preference to the Frehch system
presuinihg the man guilty Until prov
cd innocent.
Agitation, in late years; however,
has done mitch to change the old or
der of things. The presumption of
Innocence is still a legal precept, but
ono that is pretty generally ignored
by public opinion. DemagogueS have
shaken the faith of the people in hum
an nature. The people have been
told so often that they are honest en-
masse, but dishonest Individually
that, despite the conflict in the two
many persons have act
ed OH that absurd presumption.
Throughout the length and breadth
of the land orators have beci proclaim
ing that the majority cannot make
mistakes, and in the same breath that
the present system of government is
all wrong, that public officials are sell
ing out the country, aid that there is
crookedness everywhere. 10 a GER
tain extent it is an age OF defamation,
bit the disease is sympomatic and
not organic. Faith is too sublime a
quality to be destroyed so easily. The
present tendahcy toward convictinG
everybody without hearing will
spend itself, and the spirit principal
of so many great men, will Of tolc
ration, which is the guiding soon re-
assert itself as oiic Of the iiation's fin
