FIGHT AGAINST
 THE RAILROADS

St. Louis, Dec. 24-The fight of che Business Men's League against the Baltimore and Ohio; the Chica- go, Burlington and Quincy; the Mis- souri Pacific; the Rock Island; and nearly a score of other roads, on the question of coal rates to St. Louis was resumed here Monday at the federal building before the h. terstate Commerce Commissioner, James B. Harlan. The whole fight centers around a 20 cent arbitrary toll rate on all coal crossing the railroad bridge into St. Louis from East St. Louis. It Is possible that the Commissioner may also further consider the request of the North Springfield mines for a fifteen cent cut under Egypt" based on the al leged class relation of the railroads and the Southern Illinois coal com panies.

REPUBLIC IN WORLD
 AT LOGGERHEiDS WITH ITALY

Like France, Italy and most of the other powers, San Marine exer- cises a government monopoly on to- bacco from the sale of which it re- ceives most of its state revenue. The governments supply is purchas- ed from Italy, and ordinarily amounts to half ton a year.
 In 1911, however, the San Mari nose did not chew and smoke so much as ordinarily and San Marine purchased from Italy only a quar- ter of a ton of tobacco. This year smoking and chewing is more D. .u- lar and San Marine has demanded Of Italy that 1t come across with the other quarter of a ton to which it was entitled in1911. Italy says 1t won't and San Marine has all but said that if it didn't, she'll take the antiquated cannon which Italy pre- sented to her. and shoot the sur rounding Italian territory, which consists exclusively of barren nuin- habitet mountains, full of three inch holes.

 THE CHINESE

Nanking, Dec. 24-Chinese Chris tians to the number of ITO are talk ing preliminary steps toward the or ganization of Christian church to be free of foreign control. At a called meeting of the Nanking Evan gelical Association they decided to found such a church to meet the wants of the students of Christian ity, and to draw into the church all educated young men who profess to be Christians but who do not attend any of the existing churches. This action is the outcome of rousing revival which foreign missionaries held here last spring. Thousands of Chinese attended and 400 signed cards to indicate their desire to study Christianity One hundred and seventy of these objected to joining churches which were domi- mated by foreigners. The plan to organize a native controlled church followed. The foreign missionary body held several discussions over the action, appointed a committee to assist the Chinese in drawing up the necessary constitution.

SAYS LIFE IS
 VERY CHEAP

Berlin, Dec. 24-"Life was never as cheap as today. Upon the slight est cause murders are committed. This is in part due to the habit of carrying concealed weapons and to the fact that revolyers are as easy to purchase as toys, and available to any person who wants them. This is the way Dr. Schlichting, president of the Berlin Criminal Court prefaced his instructions to the jury before which perhaps the largest number of murder cases ever on the docket at one time, will be tried. Particularly numerous are the cases in which degeneraCy and moral peryersity figure.

Rome, Dec. 24-san Marine, the smallest, tut nonetheless one of the most obstreperous republics in the world is again at loggerheads with Italy. Recently the tiny republic passed a law obnoxious to the Vati- can. The latter protested but San Marine refused to budge. Then the vatican withdrew its minister and immediately thereafter San Marine withdrew it's, and the two powers are still at outs.
 A little later, San Marine solicit ed the gift from Italy of two anti quated cannon and at once increas- ed it's war footing by organizing an artillery corps of nine members. Later it was discovered that the republic was so small that there wan no point within the kingdom where artillery practice could be in dulged in without the cannon balls dropping in Italian territory and thus creating a hostile act. San Marine had no sooner apologized to Italy for this than she again started fresh trouble.

MUCH DEVELOPMENT WORK BEING
 DUNE IN 0'D0NNELL GREEK

On the Ruffner property, which extends up and down the ODonnell river for about four miles, much de- velopment work has been done. A number of drifts have been run in on rim rock to prospect the bench claims, at an elevation of about 60 feet above the creek bed. This winter 20 men will be constantly employed in this work.
 The development work so far done has disclosed rich deposits in many places, but until the ground has been thoroughly prospected there is no way of determining the extent of the pay streak.
 BIr. Breeze will return early in tn spring to resume his labors.

This was one of the greatest lectures

Such is the case with all humanity
The earliest record of the great sin

generations that strived so to lay the
foundation for us. Young man why
do you cling to TIE ungodly sin that
the world offers?9 Search for the
best during your journey on the high
way of life. If truth prevalent
then some will go to unknown realms
to seek for the false. Be We workers
in the vineyard for the Master. Let
love and kindness dwell within thy
heart. This is a special plea to
every youth and man in this universe
Stand with us in this ause. This
is a plea from the club and poet, we
are still seeking better things. So
let's take a peep into history. Let
not wipe out Of existence these
thoughts and in the end success will
finally crown years of efforts. The

ing for superiority which prevailed
in the past will ever dominate in tn
