A Good Move.

The action of Governor elect Cox In
deciding to make the other state otfi-
cials his cabinet is step in the right
direction. They are to have meetings
once week and discuss the policies
of the administration and take action
on proposed legislation.
This should be conducive of much
good. The people of Ohio will hold
Gov. Cox responsible for the manner
in which the affairs of the state are
conducted. They look to him primar-
lily. If good he will receive the credit,
if bad he will receive the censure.
Therefore, he should know how all Of
the offices are being run and should
have the advice and counsel of these
officers. All of the officers were elected
upon the same platform and made the
same promises to the people.
Every action of Gov. Cox indicates
that he intends to earnestly and sin
cerely try to carry out these promises
and he should have the loyal support
of the other officers In his efforts. If
the pledges are carried out the people
have no cause for complaint, even II
they are unwise, because it was what
they asked to be done by their vote.
While we believe that it would be
better to allow the governor to ap-
point the state officers, Gov. Cox Is
doing the next best thing in cooperat-
ing with the other officials in an effort
to give Ohio a capable administration
Although we we're opposed to his
election, we hope that his administra-
tion will be wise and good. He is
making an excellent beginning, even
before he takes the oath of office.

stockings on the mantle on Christmas
eve how excited you we're when you
went to bed how you wondered what
wonderful things you we're going to
find in those stockings In the morning !;
the mystery that surrounded every
thing how you wanted to be the first
one awake on Christmas morning, so
that you could shout christmas Gift"
to father, mother, brothers and Sis
ters? And then In the morning how
excited everyone was as they opened
the presents they received the pleas
ure that beamed on every face as each
new present was examined and always
in the toe of the stocking was an
orange Then came the going to the
homes of the neighbors to find out
what your hoyhood friends had re
ceived the JOY and pleasure of telling
and showing them what you had got
and hearing about and seeing their
presents, And can things ever again
taste as good as did those Christmas
dinners, starting With turkey and
dressing and winding up with mince
pie. Our mouth waters to think of it
And when night came. tired but hap
py we went to bed to sleep, the sleep
of untroubled childhood.
Truly Christmas is especially day
for children, as children more truly
exemplify the teaching and spirit of
Christ. They are innocent and pure,
loving and lovable.
That this is true is best shown by
the words of Christ.
: "Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not for of such is
the kingdom of God"
Except We become as little children,
We shall not enter into the kingdom
OF heaven"

Christmas. How much the day
means to all of us. To all people in
all civilized lands No day is so gen.
orally celebrated. No other day has
such a world of fond memories sur
rounding it.
Have you ever noticed how much
better the world looked on Christmas
Day; how much happier and content
ed people look2
The spirit of Him whose birth we
celebrate seems to affect both nature
and people. The world looks brighter.
People are more generous, kindly and
sympathetic, nobler and truer than
usual. For the time being the stress
and strife of life is put to one side and
peace, good will and love reign.
1t is day for the giving OF gifts to
loved ones. Whenever possible fami
lies reunite on this day. Those who
have gone from home return and
family dinners are features of the
occasion. And things taste bet ell
than usual OH Christmas. The food
seems to be seasoned with the JOY OF
those who are partaking of 1t.
Unfortunate indeed is the man OF

Eliminating Roosevelt And Bryan.

In speech at Chicago recently
Nicholas Murray Butler, president oi
Columbia University, advocated the
elimination of Roosevelt and Bryan
from politics. He said that Roosevelt
and Bryan on account of their strong
personalities and their hold on large
numbers of our citizens overshadowed
the principles that we're up for deter
mination and caused sentiment rather
than reason to be the determining
factor In the decision of great issues.
In the first place we do not agree
with President Butler that it would
be good thing to eliminate Roose velt
and Bryan and in the second place we
do not see how it could bs done, even
If 1t was the thing to do.
These two great and powerful men
have their influence with the people
solely because the people believe in
them To destroy this influence, the
confidence of the people in these men
must be destroyed or they must be
forbidden to speak and have published
their thoughts on public questions.
Certainly in this country the same
privilege to travel, make speeches,
have published their speeches and
writings, will be accorded Roosevelt
and Bryan as all other men.
1t seems silly to us to talk about
eliminating them.
We agree with President Butler
that the people should calmly and
soberly study all pubic questions and
make up their minds, free from preju-
dice or sentiment, as to what is right
or wrong.
In country with 100000, 900 inhabi-
tants, there will, however, always be
many who are largely controlled by
sentiment who will be hero wor.
shippers. blind followers of men,
whom they have placed upon a pedes-
tai. The great question then is that
the men, whom they have picked as
leaders, should be men of ability,
sincere, honest and patriotic. Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan we believe
Are such leaders. OF course they fire.
Iuently make mistakes, but so does
every man, who is doer of things.
We believe that when the history
Of this period is written that Roose-
velt and Bryan will be named as the
two greatest Americans, the men Tho
achieved the most for their country,
men of brilliant minds, real states.
men, unselfish patriots.
Men of their capacity are needed by
every country. TJ eliminate such
strong and dominate personalities from
our public life, would be almost
