Santa Claus always comes in the

And l wonder why It's so.
Sometimes when the stars are shin
ing bright,
Sometimes in the rain and snow,
But what pleases me the best of all,
And it may seem strange to some,
Is this: that whether 1t shines or
storms,
Dear Christmas is sure to come!
Christmas is not a fair-weather
friend,
And every one has his share,
And when Christmas comes to you

1t is coming everywhere.
All over the world the boys and girls
In the lands OF Christendom,
Are looking and looking, as you
and I,
For Christmas is sure to come!

THOSE aAlnssARaEa boys"

The other day when the news
reached Governor Clarke that Villa m
Rainsbarger, afflicted with mortal
sickness, desired greatly to see his
brothers. Nathan and Frank, before he
died the governor wrote to the warden
of the prison directing him to allow
them the privilege Of going home to
visit their brother. The men in prison
had not asked the privilege but the
governor thought it only humane to
Immediately suggest that they might
60
They didn't go. Frank Rainsbarger
IS so Ill and feeble that he can not
make the trip and Nathan refuses to
leave him. The informant of the
Times Republican says ''it seems to me
a little strange that he should do So
However it isn't strange. These men
have lived inside grave together for
a lifetime. Their community Of suffer-
ing ana patience has wrought bond
between them stronger than any OF
blood relationship. 1t is scarcely
strange that one old man should re-
fuse to leave the other sick and in
prison for any reason however appeal
ing. And 1t is not strange that having
lived thus entombed for a generation
that this old man should tremble / the
thought of facing alone even tempo
rary resurrection into strange world.
For. since these young men were
buried and while they have grown old,
the world has changed more than it
had done within the previous century.
If Nathan were to come out TO visit
his brother at Steamboat Rock he
would pass on his trip thru a land to
which he is complete stranger, past
villages and towns that did not exist
when he was on earth, thru cities that
were villages when he heard the YER
dict that shut him away from living
as tho it had been the fastening down
has been dead while others lived and
builded state. No wonder he fears
solitary resurrection.
1t was a humane act of the governor
to afford these aged prisoners oppor-
tunity to visit the other old man who
is dying in his disappointment. 1t would
be but step farther in the exercise
of humanity and executive clemency
to parole those two who have suffered
lifetime patiently and of whose guilt
a doubt evident to reasonable minds
certainly does exist. No harm could
come from it. The records of the men
seem TO justify it.

why WAS THE LAW EnAc1ED7

The superintandent of the Philadei-
p11ia schools is to start crusade
against tobacco dealers who sell their
products to school children. Under
new law in Pennsylvania boy seen
using tobacco must reveal the name OF
the dealer when required to do so or
suffer arrest. The superintende
PROPOSES to carry the war into Africa
along this line.
Iowa has law dealing with the use
Of tobacco among school children but
it il a law which seems TO lack en-
forcement all over the state. So far
the mandatory law Of the state Of Iowa
which provides that school pupils
atty of loss OF school privileges and
makes it the duty of school officers
and teachers to enforce the provision
does not seem to appeal 10 schooi
boards more than it does to the to-
baceo using pupil. AT any rate noth-
ing is doing.
no doubt this Iowa law Is trouble
some. Reformatory law is always
troublesome to those whose duty it is
to execute and enforce 1t. Perhaps
it could be fixed over to advantage;
but 1t certainly seems that some no.
tice other than mere ackn owledge-
nent of it's passage should be given
it by those thus charged. It is the
Jaw. 1t is scarcely in the province OF
school boards to suspend or set aside a
statute because it offers trouble or
lack or contains somewhat they Woulo
were in it or out of 1t.
The conclusion is that there should
be a stagger made at enforcing the
anti tobacco law in the schools. Ii
ought to have trial at least. If the
law isn't practical the best way to
assure it's repeal is to attempt its en-
forcement. Why is law enacted any
way?

ELIMINATING SALOONS.
ICinuY CITY Ini1rnal1


1t is proposed in France to reduce
the number OF places where liquor is
Iretailed from one bar to every eighty
five inhabitants to one bar to every
200 inhabitants. The reform does not
look very large, but it is large for
France. England is not celebrated
for abstinence from Intoxicating liquor,
but its public bars are down to one for
every 430 inhabitants, while the United
States permits bar to every $50 in
habitants. The people of this country
are disposed to think of themselves as
just a little better than the people of
any other country. but it is not at all
certain that statistics can be SUM
moned to support the claim.
The difference between Iowa and
France is very marked, as it ought to
be, Iowa having no gay Paree. Iowa
permits saloons under certain con-
ditions, the chief reason for making
exceptions being that as yet it has
found no way to enforce an inf'exible
rule of prohibition But where saloons,
are permitted existing law contem-
plates that there shall not be more
than one saloon to 1000 inhabitants.
Iowa and France present a sharp con-
trast, with the tendency on the part of
France to advance to the Iowa stand
ard. At the same time, Iowa is rather
disposed to follow Kansas and rid
itself Of all legal recognition of the
tipping shop. In other words, the
trend Is reactlnnary-that Is. the trend
is toward the time of sweeping pro-
hibition in which some thrilling scenes
were enacted in northwestern Iowa.
OF all the counties in this quarter or
the state most unrelenting In OPPOSE
ton to prohibition Plymouth county
occupied first place. But for the muir

FOR A SANE CHRISTMAS.

THANKSGIVING is past, now Tor the
Christmas buying. IS it to be sanely
done or Is it TO be the usual senseiess
acquisition Of things little needed and
ess to be afforded? Are the American
people to correct their national abuses
Of habit and custom or are We 10 place
our nearest friends and relatives un-
der obligation 10 spend upon US more
than they can afford to spend? In
other words will we, as individuals,
seek for once to return to the beautiful
spirit of Christ's life of charity and
sacrifice or will our women work them
selves into a state of nervous pro-
stration over the length Of their list OF
presents while the men wear worried
look at their business for the next six
months as the bills come in?
Let US consider this problem in all
of it's enormity. 1t can be solved and
It will be solved, but when? There
was a time when mothers faces grew
white with fear at the approach Of the
Fourth of July but public sentiment
has changed. We now celebrate the
nations birthday without shedding the
own families. What we have doae with
our Fourth of July custom We can do
with our Christmas shopping.
Let us remember that the giving OF
gifts from one adult to another places
an obligation upon the recipient to re-
turn gift Of like value. 1t matters
not If the gift passes from brother to
brother or from sister to sister. The
pride and spirit of independence which
dominates the average person makes
him conscious of this obligation. The
giyer, as rule, gives for the self sat
isfaction of the giving. He genuinely
wants to give but he must remember
that the one who receives can not es-
cape the obligation to return the favor
and the net result is an involuntary
assessment.
