PASSING GIFTS ALONG,

Every Christmas we hear of gifts
being passed along" Somebody
sends to somebody else as a Christ
mas present a gift they have them
selves received at some previous time
They pass the gift along, of course
because they care nothing about it,
and probably care very little about the
person to whom they are sending
The chances are that they are send,
ing it merely to discharge some fan
cied obligation.
This ungracious practice is repre-
hensible and subversive of the very
fundamentals Of Christmas giving.
The word gift implies voluntary act
wholly free from any notion of obliga.
ton. Furthermore, gift is supposed
ly token of goodwill or affection on
the part of the donor toward the re-
cipient.
II one cannot give with the heart
as well as with the hand 1t is far bet
ter not to give at ALL Revise your
gift list and keep on 1t only those
whom sincere affection and regard
prompt you to emember.-Philadel-

WHAT ONE PARTY NEEDS

If the National Republican Commit
tee could restore conscience and prin-
ciple to the political organization for
which 1t speaks, it would not need to
trouble itself about new basis of rep
resentation in its convention. In such
o case, even the silence of the disfran-
chised negro of the South would be
eloquent.
The reference to the party in the
States of the decision Of the commit
tee to restrict Southern representation,
under details yet to be worked out,
probably means its acceptance, for
the qualification to which the bosses
have hesitated to commit themselves
will be easy to most of the machines
in the northern states, which are jeal-
Gus of the black belt and eager to in
crease their own power.
1t is not domination by ignorant and
purchasable negroes in the few south
ern states, however, that menaces the
Republican party. The curse of the
organization is that it Is controlled in
so many states by men who have few
scruples against purchasing anybody
or intimidating any body, white or
black, who may be useful to them.
Serious scandals have arisen in the
past because in National Republican
Conventions a few negro delegations
have been VIGOROUSLY corrupt, but the
greater discredit of the party has come
through the purchase of whole states
protected finance, commerce and in
dustry at the North. That is what
wrecked it. There has not been an I'M
( bought Republican National Conven-
tion since the days of Mark Hanna
If white men demand as their price
tariffs, bounties, privilege and immu-
nifty, why should Republicans begrudge
railroad fare and hotel bills and an &C.
casional bank-note to black men?
The Republican party needs a new
heart, new aim, new inspiration
and new leaders; not more conven-
lions and platforms and restrictions
in representation to be taken advan-
tage of by the very bosses who have
brought it to its present low estate.
One leader like Woodrow Wilson
would be worth more to the Republi-
can party at this time than a hundred
schemes for reorganization. - New
York World.
