OF A PLAIN MAN
No Nation ia Fit to Govern Another.

We say of such and such a nation that it is not fit to govern itself.
 The truth is that no nation is fit to govern another.
 It is very probable that no people is competent for self government; but the rub comes when you seek for any other people who are able iU govern t.
 Of course, the readers mind calls up at once the cases of English rule in India and Egypt and the beneiicent protection Of America in the Philip pines: but, really, all these conditions are tOO young yet to prove anything Look back over history. Can you find where one people did any permanent good to another by ruling it? They may have helped along by exterminat- ing it, but 1 know of no instance of permanent good coming from the dom inance of an alien race.
 Rome's glory of mastery was her undoing. If the Romans had stayed at home and cultivated Italy they might have accomplished more. It is the ignls fatuus of conquest that is the suicide of nations. Great Britain's s strength lies in her colonizing power China and Japan will work out vastly better results for the human race if they are left to their own growth than they ever could accomplish under the guidance of some German scientist, English statesman or American bank CT.

THE cHRIsTMASTIDE.

Christmas is the great festival sea- son in observance of The Nativity. and as that brought great joy and eladness, peace and good will, so each succeeding anniversary is filled with this spirit which has been of such great force and help to mankind. It is an observance in which everyone should find joy in participating, be the share great or small. It Is possible to dispense good cheer and spread abroad and reecho the tidings of great Joy. and the spirit of doing for others, though 1t may be little. can be man. ffested and must pulsate through our Christmas activities If we would ex- tract tho joy which was intended as our portion. It requires no great sac- eifce, but 1t is the manifestation of the willingness and the pleasure in it which accomplishes the greatest re- suits.
 Christmas Is the anniversary which marks the beginning of greater and better things for this world, the open ing of a new era. It also brings the opportunity for each one to contribute his mite for the brightening of the world for his fellow man. the scatter ing of that cheer which cements the ties of brotherly love and friendship as each year opens new periods in individual lives. It is a season for rejoicing and thanksgiving for the ever cheering message Peace on Earth Good Wili to Man.

CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES

Fire prevention Is one of the im- portant obligations which rests upon not only municipality, but each in dividual, however much people fail to realize 1t. It Is therefore an i'm portant message which the National Fire Protection association issues when 1t warns against the carelessness in the arrangement of not only the holiday decorations but the ulumi- mating of the Christmas trees. Each Christmas season sees many homes gutted and public places burned for the very reason that sufficient care is not taken in the arrangement of the decorations and the lighting. The peril is increased many times for 1t is con- sidered necessary for the successful celebration that much material which is highly inf1ammable should be used. The danger of this is emphasized when candles are used in the illumination of trees for they are unstable and uncertain at the best and offer con- stant peril in combination with the other material.
 It is excellent advice, therefore which the association offers when 1t urges: Do not decorate your Christ mas trees with paper cotton or other infiammable material; use metallic tinsel and other -irf1ammable dec- orations only and set the tree secure ly so that the children cannot tip it over. In place of artificial snow, instead of cotton, asbestos fibre is rec commended.
 It is easy to appreciate the fact that such warning is in the interest of safety and every households welfare and yet it does not detraet from the effect of the decorations.

DANGER OF ASSASSINATION.

India and Japan have been the lat est to figure in attempts at the as- sassination of high officials, all of which indicates most emphatically that fanatics and anarchists are like ly to spring up most anywhere and most any time, bound to carry out their deadly purpose regardless of the personalities they attack, so long as 1t mows down the holder of high office or power and strikes a blow at es- tablished government.
 The bomb which was thrown at Baron Hardinge, viceroy of India, was really aimed at the government and cot the individual though he had to suffer as the holder of the office. It g usually a harsh and unjust ruler wno Is made the object of such at- .zeks, but Baron Hardinge would be tne last to be attacked on such a score. as his acts and characteristics would not warrant t. He has been a nest conscientious and worthy ruler and 1t was believed that the danger of 'v-h attacks on the government head hich had characterized the country
 T the post had been overcome. Such, 1ewsyer, Is not tho case, and be he -ood or bad the vieeroy can make up IS mind that 6 constant danger sxists from the Irresponsible soures and plan to be on his guard. It is q danger which is common with all great men in all countries and to overcome It seems to be impossible. Spain thereby lost one of its greatest men and America.

THE PERFECT WOMAN.

As was to be expected the an- nouncement that Cornell university had discovered a perfect woman ac- cording to standards of weights and measurements has caused many to doubt the rights of the claim. The New York Herald being called upon to judge between the Cornell young woman and another aspirant thus looks upon the matter when it says:
 There are other measurements, however, that must be taken before a woman can lay claim to perfection, The depth of her affections, her ca pacity for loving, the keenness of her munitions, the clearness of her vision, must all be taken into consideration. She should also be blind to the faults of the man whom she loves and deaf to the voice of his detractor. The degree of intelligence that marks the perfect woman has always been moot question. There have always been philosophers to maintain that, pro- vided she be pretty, she is none the worse for being something of Q fool.
 "A far more important matter is her sense of humor, which should be quick and catholic, and her vanity, which should be no more than skin deep. It would be interesting to learn the exact spiritual and intellectual dimen- sions of a charming woman. but which one of us shall be adjudged worthy to hold the tape?'
 The Herald we'll recognizes the mag nitude of such task as judge would have before him and it promises to remain an open question with each ono his own judge as to what in his opin- ion makes for perfection in wornan and how thoroughly it is possessed Whenever feminine perfection is dis covered beyond a reasonable doubt she will have such a monopoly that no Sherman law can break if.
