groping for the true aims and ends of life and the light that would guide to the existence of which they dreamed, men as through glass darkly wished and groped for the truth that should guide from man to man. The gentle ness of life, the broadness of common sympathy and love, the finer graces; these were wanting. The happiness and enlightenment that guides our way today is continuation of the standard of conduct that mans highest duty on earth is the consideration of the happiness of his fellows. It IS at this glad time of observance of the birth of him to whom we owe the pronlulgation of the Golden Rule that turn thoughts to that great Day, when in the places of the lowly was born the Babe whose teachings were to grip the msads of men, and light the way to understand ing. Happy today are the Christian races in the knowledge that life is love. All the advance ment of the nineteen hundred years since the great Nativity all the enobling of the duties of men, and the meaning of life, all our many condi- tions that SO happy i'll comparison with the primitive conditions that confronted the race be- fore the announcement of the wonderful creed we accept the continuation of the teachings of the Babe over whose manager pointed the bright unwaverng star of hope.
 The true meaning of the Day IS brought to us by the thoughts of the linking of the bright happy gift season of the year with the birth of the gentle Teacher; that the races of men should take for the Day of gifts the Day of the Nativity IS only proof that inseparably linked in thoughts of peace and good wishes for fellows all thoughts of the birth of the Giver of the derfu creed of happiness and hope. In this glad Christmas season there come to us the sweetest thoughts, out of the before forgotten past arise memories of forgotten scenes, of the faces of dear ones from out the mist of years; inseperably
 link this season of tender deeds and thoughts with the Nativity At this time we look back upon the years of the past at this time there comes to us thoughts of nativity, and the betterment of the lives of fellows thus is typifed the whole meaning of the day.
 The tenderest thoughts of the myriads of humanity, who, Ill their conception of the highest attributes of men, have been to the gladstone season of Christmas. It is time for the reunion of dear ones for the bringing to memory of the sweetest remembrances of days that past, of the hopes that the next season will find unbroken the ties of family and friendship. It IS then that the thoughts of the great Nativity brings to us the knowledge that the Christ is the revered on this day of the brightest conception of the race.
 The brightness and love linked with the Day is hearkenng to what may be the final portion of the race; possibilities of glad and glorious time when all the races of men shall know and be one to the other brothers n spirit and in deed when the mantle of Peace shall overspread unit ed world.

The Forest Service has recently completed a portion of the East and West Arizona State Highway, which practically parallels the Santa Fe R. R. tracks between Flagstaff, and Will Hams, and lies entirely within the Coconino National Forest. The work completed consists of approximately all miles of highway, of which are surfaced with volcanic cinders. The construction work is in conformity with the Arizona State Highway specifications.
 The amount expended by the For est Service on this project was ap- proximately $21, ,0O0, 100000, the aver age cost per mile of finished road be- ing S2200 %, while the cost per mile pof unsurfaced roadway was S14lO. OO. Coconino County has done consider able work on this highway between Bellemont, where the Forest Service work ends, and Williams and it is understood that the Board of Super visors intend completing the entire project by May 1, 1914.
 Prior to the construction Of DOT tion of this highway between FlagStaH RiordaR, the old road was almost i'm passible during several months of the year, on account of the composition of the soil, which is of red clayey nature, ana the ldch O1 uIdludSe. Construction work was very difficult in this vicinity, due to the facts that it was mostly of a side hill character, and the presence of malpais rock, which made excavation very expen- sive. The highway traverses gener- ally through heavily timbered coun- try and open parks. This fact to- gether with the proximity of the famous San Francisco Peaks, make the scenic effects along the highway unsurpassed throughout the entire Southwest The drainage system, ia which corrugated galvanized iron cul- verts are used, is complete in every respect.
 Aside from being of great benefit to the towns of Flagstaff and Williams, and the settlers in the vicinity, the highway will doubtless be travelled extensively by trans-continental tour ists For the latter reason particu- larly, the County Board is extending it's best efforts to complete the high way. in order that it may be in the best of condition prior to the anticipated traffic which will un- doubtedly occur during the Panama Exposition in San Francisco in 1915.

President Wilson a Fighter

Governor Fielder has called a spe-
cial session of the New Jersey legisla-
ture to consider the jury reform bill
that Mr.. Wilson advocated before he
went to Washington. The President
proposes to go back to New Jersey to
fight for this reform bill. He will
make at least one speech in its favor
and it is believed he will succeed in
securing the adoption of this measure
which will make for the good of his
state. He knows what reforms are
needed in New Jersey, and the country
will applaud his courage in fighting
for what he considers right.
His courage and political sense were
tested, too, when he demanded free
wool, and eventually free sugar. 1t
is long time since We had a PreG-
dent who had the courage of his con-
victions. President Wilson never fails
to ask for what he wants, and he is
very much inclined at all times to APP
peal openly to the people. Between his
courage and his trust in the people the
country has at last President who is
representative up to the full extent

Lynchings This Year

In the first quarter of 1918 not a
single person was lynched charged
with committing an assault on white
woman. If this start can be main
tanned the year will become excep-
tional in this respect.
All told 13 lynchings are recorded
In the United States in the first three
months of the year. These cases were
chiefly due to murders that the
lynched had committed. The start that
has been made justifies the prediction
that lynching will soon be unknown
and that the current year will show
. remarkable gain in that direction.
The south as whole is inviting inn
migration and promoting public edu-
cation, and it naturally follows that
lynchings and all other forms of vio-
lence and lawlessness will be weeded
out. The decrease each year is graft
flying and the year may yet come when
a lynching will not take place in the
entire country, broad and big as it is.

TaIks About Pensacola


w. Z. Urauhart, who divides mis- time
between Birmingham and Pensacola, and
A. M. Cohen of Pensacola, are now in this
city. They are both interested in real
estate development in the thriving Florida
port. Mr. Urquhart was formerly MEM
ber of the Birmingham bar, and was one
of the Jefferson county members of the
Conner legislature. He gave up the prae-
tice of his profession on account of poor
health. but he is now looking we'll and
says he is feeling well.
After a few months absence from
Birmingham ] notice great improvements
on my return" said Mr.. Urquhart. This
city is growing rapidly and everyone
knows that it has splendid future.
Pensacola is striding right ahead. 1t
is one of the best built cities in the
south, and is one of the most progressive.
1t, too, has great future. 1t will con-
tinue TO grow more rapidly than any
city of approximately its size in the south.
THE opening of the Panama canal is not
far off. There is absolutely no question
but that the entire gulf section will ex-
perience the greatest boom in real estate
values ever known when the canal is
completed"

Our School Problem

The school system Of this city is not
first rate simply because there are not
enough seats in sanitary buildings to
seat the school population by a
large majority. The school board is ex-
pected to keep an eye on compulsory
education because all other progress
sive cities have it. This city cannot
have it until its school houses are re-
constructed.
The only way to cut down illiteracy
In Alabama lies through compulsory
education. There is not other road to
literacy, and this city is taking no
steps to render compulsory education
possible.
It is very easy to- say that our
school system is first rate, but in or
der to say this one must ignore the
insanitary school buildings and the in
adequacy of the entire number in view
of the school population. 1t is first

known facts.
The city, it is true, is a victim of the
constitution of 1901. It's revenue is
inadequate. 1t cannot do what more
fortunate cities are doing, but still it
is travelling far outside known facts
to say that the school system of this
city is first rate. ItSwould be if the
buildings were all sanitary and the
number of seats largely increased.
Something should be done to better the
situation, even if the. city cannot be
bonded to build school houses to hold
all the children of school age.

A NEW REST CURE

A practical plan for bringing back
health is told by the woman who discov-
cred it in Harper's Bazaar for May. She
calls her article Taking the Rest Cure
While Working" and in describing it she
says:
II had never realized before what un-
fair demands upon my weary self were
made by those trivial conversations and
simlpe evening pastimes at home 1t
seemed that a little social diversion would
be needed, anyway. Tired out, nervous
people do not need diversions or stimu-
lants or exercises or drugs-unless the lat
ter be necessary for concomitant condi-
tions. The crying need of nerves worn
to frazzle is rest, rest, rest.
THE first thing necessary is a place to
rest in; a sanctuary where none may ever
intrude; where within the walls may be
found the balm of unruffled peace and
unbrollen silence. If you have comfor-
table, we'll ventilated room, removed from
the stir of the household life, which you
can set apart for your own use. with the

EDUCATING FATHER

Mary Stewart Cutting, in the new May
number of Harper's Bazar, writes about
Educating Father Among the phases
of this lprocess which she describes with
much humor is the following:
'Father's salient idea, of course, when
Selma graduates, is that now she will
stay at home and help her mother. 1t
ms kes no difference that mother doesn't
want seImas help in the household; her
one desire is to have her child asked to
everything and to be able to see Selma
enjoying herself; to have the house full of
Selma's young friends, arrange for the
clothes needed when she is invited away
over week end, and smooth over all
the difficulties tina, may be in the way
to be the motherly providence over Sell
mas youthful happiness and hear about
it All In the first glow of Selma's return
from delightful visit; to be, as 1t were.
v;cariously, girl herself again.
ut is dear. and fattering, to have
father sternly insisting that mother shall
be considered first-she would miss it il
he didn't show that ever jealous regard
for her; but it is dreadfully hampering
as far as her and Selma's plans are con-
cerned.
1T keeps her-in perfunctory respect for
his authorlty-earnestly impressing on the
girl how thoughtful and kind and gener-
Gus father ISL and how much money he
has already spent on her-really more
than he can afford, and the exact reason
he doesn't want her ito go to the party
on Saturday-as IL youth could ever be
reasoned out of wanting good time,
while all the time mother knows, and so
does Selma, that she is going to persuade
him to agree to all they want"

THE CABARET
From Life

From Life.
Up to recent times the ordinary metro
politan restaurant during the evening af-
forded but limited opportunity for ex-
tensive noise, there being only the clatter
of plates, the refined and intellectual con-
versation of the guests and the tintinnabu-
lations of the union orchestra. 1t was
felt that something ought to be done
about this. So the. police were called in,
and doubtless at their suggestion the
cabaret was installed.
The idea of the cabaret is perfectly SIM
pie. When you are tired of your simple
home life, and of repeating family prayers
and reading aloud to the little ones from
Ladies' Home Journal, you gather your
little brood together, and, leaving them
to the care of the paid nurse who pre-
sides over your destinies, you steal forth
softly into the night and enter the cab
aret zone. Seating yourself nonchalantly
at table, just as if you had been in the
habit of looking at the world all your life
through the small end of telescope, you
order about $50 worth of wine, incidentally
including a small amount Of food, and
wait for developments.
These begin to come in the shape OF
several professional ladies and gentlemen,
who walk about the aisles in a singuarly
familiar manner, singing to themselves,
turning somersaults, and doing other
things that would seem strange In your
own home but which you accept with
comrlacency coming from total strangers.
There is by this time SO much noise
that if your wife telephoned for you you
couldn't hear her.
The cabaret show was not designed for
amusement, but to add to the noise, ana
to increase the difficulty of using your
mind. 1t has come in with the turkey trot,
and will probably go out with the advent
of some new and hitherto undiscovered
noise that will drown it out

Proper Addre.. for the President

The question frequently comes up,
How should one address the President
when writing him letter." said an old
citizen. II heard that matter discussed
recently. L remember when we used to
speak of the President as his excellency.'
General Washington was always referred
to as his excellency, and 1 believe that
term, as a prefix, was used for long
years-probably down to the sos. But
there was never any official authority
for it, and the newspapers ridiculed it out
of use.
Mr. Cleveland was always addressed
as President Grover Cleveland, WASH
ington, D. c., Dear Mr. President or
simply Sir. A great many persons still
use The Honorable So and So, President
of the United States but in this country
the prefix honorable is gradually falling
into disuse
IT do not know President Wilson, but
if had occasion to write to him 1 would
address him simply as President Wood
row Wilson,, and not The Hon. Wood
row Wilson, President of the United
States
THE governor Of Massachusetts is his
excellency' by constitutional right. In
Virginia and many other states the gov
ernor was styled his excellency,' but it
is not so today. Only in Massachusetts
do we hear the term His Excelency thu

Birmingham College Fund

The sum of 100000 has been sub
scribed for and beginning tomorrow an
effort will be made to carry the fund
of the Birmingham college to S25O,OOo.
A part of the money is needed for new
buildings and the remainder will be-
come a nucleus of an endowment fund.
This would unite the educational
work of the two conferences of Ala
bama in one great institution with the
biggest church organization of the
state behind it. Not only would this
promote the growth of this city, but it
would bring here an educational in
stitution of high rank and value.
Local pride and the just expecta-
tions of a great church will pull to-
gether during the coming week to Sc
cure the fund that all future work at
Owenton is to be based on. The cam
paign is broadly planned and the hope
is that it will be crowned with sue
cess one week from tomorrow when a
final report will be made of the re-
suit of the big effort.

The POpe's IIlness

Pope Plus X evidently has wonder
| full vitality" said a layman. Judging
from the reports from Rome, his holi-
ness has been lingering between life
| and death, but think there is pos
sibilfty for him to regain sufficient
strength to enable him to administer
Ihis exalted office for sometime to come.
"The cardinals who live at a great
distance from Rome are prepared to
sail for the Eternal City Whenever the
Pope does pass away. The conclave.
which will be held to elect new Pope,
will probably be assembled within q
week or so after the demise of the in
cumbent of the papal chair.
"As we'll as, l can recall, it was six
Idays after Leo XIII died that the con-
clave was held, which elected Pope
Plus X. Cardinal Gibbons happened TO
be in Europe at the time and he parti-
cipated in the conclave Had he been in
the United States he would not have
had time to reach Rome. When Plus
Tx died in 1873 the fact of his death
was kept secret for day or two. as
we'll as can remember and II was
about a week before any official an
lnouncement was made from the Vatican.
When Pope Leo died at the age of 9s
there was no effort to conceal the fact
"At the time that Plus TX died there
was no papal delegate in this country
and the official announcement of his
death was promulgated to the hierarchy,
clergy and Catholic people of the United
states through the archbishop Of Bal
timore, the American primate. When
Pope Leo died the announcement came
through the papal delegate at wash.
