Observations by The Way
(From Tuesdays Daily

Tomorrow is the last day before
Christmas. Are you imbued with the
true Christmas spirit-love? Have
you looked about you and made an
effort to bring cheer and happiness
to your neighbor. And who is your
neighbor? This was aptly answered
by Jesus Christ when tempted by a
certain lawyer. We quote Luke 1929
to 36:
2s. But he, willing to justify him
self, said unto Jesus, and who is my
neighbor?
80. And Jesus answering said: A
certain man went down from Jeru-
salem to Jericho, and fell among
thieves which stripped him Of his
raiment, and wounded him, and de-
parted, leaving him half dead.
81. And by chance there came
down certain priest that way; and
when he saw him he passed by on the
other side.
80. And likewise q Levite, when
he was at the place, came and looked
on him, and passed by on the other
side.

Three plays that deal with the vice
problem in all its bald ugliness are
being enacted in Chicago theaters.
The playwrights and the producers in
sist that these plays are intended to
make vice abhorrent and bring about
a moral uplift. Have you noticed any
of these beneficent effects? On the

Some very pathetic scenes took
place at the New Castle coal mine ex-
plosion. Wives, mothers, sisters,
brothers and sweethearts, one young
lady planning to be married Christ
mas day, mingled with each other al
the mouth of the shaft waiting for
their dead to be brought to the sur
face. AS The Herald stated on prev
ious occasion, when man goes INTO
coal mine he takes his life into his
hands and he is entitled to the best OF
wages and surroundings. We are VIII
ling to pay 10 or Is cents ton more
for our coal if necessary to provide
the wage. If it's matter OF wages
that prevents settlement Of the coa
strike in the southern field then the
strike should be settled inside of "a
hours by the demands being met by

SOME SANE DELEGATES.

According to the following Denver
dispatch to the Pueblo Star-Journal
there were many conservative dele
gates in the labor convention, but they
were given about the same kind of
treatment that is being accorded the
governor and others who oppose the
radical work of the strike agitators:
Denver-A sensation was sprung
late yesterday in the labor conven-
ton being held here to consider a
statewide strike and other demon
strations of sympathy for the strik-
ing miners, when the Pueblo dele
CATION was summarily dealt with for
daring to stand on it's own feet with
reference to inflammatory resolutions
passed by the meeting.
Led by Harry A. Mcintyre, dele
gate representing the Typographical
union from Pueblo the representatives
from that city opposed and contested
the passing of the resolutions which
SldtC-W SIIihC, IC-
call petitions for Governor Ammons,
and other drastic measures.
For this action the delegation was
severely scored by other members of
the convention and considerable ami
mostly was expressed against those
who opposed the resolutions. McIn-
tyre was bitterly denounced by John
R. Lawson and E. L. Doyle and was
told to take his union and get out of
the State Federation.
Mr.. Mcintyre and several other
delegates from this city, returned to
Pueblo last night and this morning.
The scorching of Mcintyre was
tame compared to the TRADE hurled
against some of the officials of the
United Mine Workers Of America who
had come all the way from Indiana
polls to caution the convention against
taking any drastic action, but the min
ers from southern and northern Colo
RADIO who have been in Jail for viol-
ations of the law, led by Mother
Jones, were beyond control and JAM
med their program through over the
protests of the more conservative
members.

ExTRAvAGANr SALARIES.

Few salaries beyond $25, 900 repre-
sent work done or expected to be done.
Officials with enormous salaries
quickly come to believe in the ficti-
tious value put on their services and
then their usefulness is over. Spend,
ing salary of $4,000 to 100000 en-
crosses so much of mans time and
interests that he is likely to turn
more and more into a figurehead, liv-
ing on the work of his subordinates.
The fact that corporations in
come is large does not justify it in
wasting money in excessive merely
for-show salaries. Overpay takes
away the incentive to do genuine work
and in the end hurts the corporation
instead of helping it.-New York
Tribune.

The above is the highest authority
on "who is my neighbor." Some one
has said: II shall pass through t...s

that can do, or any kindness that
can show to human being, let me do
it now. Let me not defer or neglect
| it, for l shall not pass this WY

would make this world so much bet
ter and brighter for mankind if it
prevailed generally. Important it is
to do it now. Every case where help
is needed is an opportunity for shar-
ing burden and not only an oppor-
tunity, but privilege, and should be
q pleasure.
| Robert Louis Stevenson said:
"There is an idea abroad among
moral people that they should make
their neighbors good. One person
have to make good-myself. But my
duty to my neighbor is much more
nearly expressed by saying that
have to make him happy" And how
can you make your neighbor happy.
by sharing his burdens, by being
really neighborly, not in the sense
we generally refer to neighbors but
in the sense taught by the Savior.
The true religion is love-'for God is
love-" Indeed, love is the test of re-
ligion, or friendship and true hospi-
tality. The noted Jenkin Lloyd Jones
says: "A kind heart is better vindi-
cation of your doctrine than any argu-
ment. Deeds go further than words
in justifying your creed" And We
have this from Bayard Taylor: SIN
| Christian of Moslem, Jew or Budd-
hist, the true man is true and the
false man is false; not the creed as an
abstraction, but it's practical exemp-
LITIGATION of life, is the gauge of re-
ligion."
Giving is not che only thing, but
deeds of mercy and loving kidness, a
smile of encouragement, word of
cheer, manifestation of sympathy and
consolation.
| While this doctrine of love and
"Who is my neighbor" should pre-
vail at all times, it is especially call
ed to our attention at Christmas time.
Let us try to make the world look
brighter-"let US not defer or neglect,
for we shall not pass this way again
With this spirit your heart will cry
forth Merry Christmas" as though,
you meant it and when enjoying the
blessings of plenty and comfort on
Christmas day-the glad day when a
Savior was born-you will have no
inward pangs of duty unperformed.
