Taft Will Fill Offices.

President Taft will fill everyvacancy
in every Federal Office that occurs be-
tween this time and March Bird. He will
name his appointees for four years and
not from the time they are appointed
until Governor Wilson is inaugurated.
That this policy would be followed
was learned from the President him
self, when asked If, for instance, the
successor to w. Hall Harris, postmas-
ter Of Baltimore, would be named. Mr..
Harris term expires in January. At
once the President said that all vacan-
cies would be filled for the full period
The decision of Mr.. Taft in this con-
nection will participate controversy
between the White House and the Dem
Ocratic minority i'm the Senate over
every important appointment that il
made. This controversy will not abate
until the Sixty-Second Congress passes
out OF existence on March 4, 1913.
Democratic Senators will insist that
the President has no right at this time
to fill Federal Offices with Republicans
who are to serve during the greater
part of the Wilson administration. The
opposing Senators will take the posi-
ton that the new President has right
to name his subordinates and to pick
men who he feels owes him loyalty
and not to an administration that has
passed

THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving Day is drawing near
and the nation will have the oppor-
tunity to prove it's gratitude.
Amidst all the imperfections of our
institutions and the abuses which at
times excite our Impotence, there can
be no doubt of the royal bounty which
the people of these United States have
enjoyed and at this season of retro
spection we become duly conscious
that there is much for which we should
be grateful.
There is always something for
which humanity may be thankful. Not
necessarily wealth, with its attendant
train of privileges, but health, affec-
ton and just life itself. Beauty can b.
found in all conditions, and this lesson
il learned from those i'm poverty OIL
affection. They are frequently happy
they are masters of sacrifice, and from
their limited scope, they reach out tt
give pleasure to others. They form
the best examples of true gratitude.
The churches will be well attended
on Thursday next, family reunions will
warm the heart and rejuvenate the
spirit of continuous toll, and the &C.
casion will polish up the rusty places
in our lives.

EXTRA SESSION.

President-elect Wilson, just before
sailing for Bermuda, where he has
gone for a months rest and recuper-
alton, stated that he would call an
extra session of Congress, not later
than April 18th, next.
We think this very wise step, and
will impress the country with the sin
cerity of the Democratic party in the
pledges it made to the people during
the campaign. While there may be
some other subjects of legislation con-
sidered, this extra session of Congress
will deal principally with the revision
of the tariff, so that the people will
get the benefit of the reductions which
will be made at the earliest possible
time.
This is right, and shows the serious
purpose of our party on this question
of tariff revision.

She had time to listen to your

Christmas Gifts That Grow.

In the December WOman'S Home
Companion appears an article entitled
christmas Gifts That Grow" An in
teresting extract follows
Zone father who had been brought
up on farm wanted to invest i'm q
pair of sheep that friend offered to
Isell him.
1t would make a splendid Christmas
gift for Edna he confided to his wife.
Their lambs would increase her
bank account at very little expense to
us, but we simply cannot keep them
while we live in the city
cit was too good an idea to give up,
and after while they found a way
out of their difficulty. The friend who
had the sheep for sale suggested that
he care for them with his own flock,
and that remuneration for his services
be made in portion of the wool
from the sheep and from the lambs
they might have. This arrangement
has proved very satisfactory. Two or
three times year the father goes in
to the country to see that all il well
with the stock, that the wool il prop
erly disposed of, and that the lambs
are branded, and during the last two
years it has been his custom to take
LIS SAld1l uduSuLCT Will ulIH OH SuCn
trips. She always knows just how
many sheep she has, approximately
how much they are worth and when
the wool or any of the sheep are sold
the money paid for them is put into
her own small hand. In company
with her father she deposits it in the
bank herself. The last year she has
taken a great deal Of interest in earn
| ing and adding to the savings account
started for her when she was but a
few months old. She has her allow
ance, which she earns by performing
some light household duties and over
coming most prominent faults, and a
large part Of this is laid aside for the
bank account. Although she il but
seven years old, she has at least two
hundred dollars to her credit, which,
heven without future additions, will
amount to over one hundred and
NJ seventy-five dollars more on her
Itwenty-frst birthday if it is undis-
turbed and brings interest at four
per cent, compounded semi-annually. .

CREDITABLE TO THE AMERICAN
CITIZEN,

The Presidential election has come
have settled down to their accustomed
avocations, a. If nothing of unusual
interest had occurred.
This l. one of the creditable things
in connection with our citizenship.
The hearty acquiesence in the result
of an election shows the innate re
spect of our people for law
and order; for the rule of the
majority. Even those of our citizens
who know little about the science of
government, have never gone deep
into such subjects, understand
perfectly well that the rule of the ma
jority in this country is fundamental,
lies at the very root of the govern
ment and therefore must be scrupu-
lousy respected. This sentiment il
patriotic, and makes our government
strong and our institutions secure.
The American citizen feels, and right
ly SO, that he il part OF the govern
ment and responsible for its safety,
and he therefore yields himself grace
fully to all it's regulations and require
ments.
He may be very much disappointed
in the result of an election. His party
may have lost, but he submits himself
like a good citizen to the result, and in
this he shows his loyalty and good
sense
