Too many people 60 through life
wearing distorting colored glasses
and encased in the cold garb of sell
fishness. Let us throw away our
glasses of selfish interest and get
out into the pure sunlight in which
we can see ourselvessas others see
US, let us do less criticising of those
about us and then throw off the
cold garb of selfshness and live
more for the good of our country
and our race. This will do much
to elevate humanity, will cause
more smiles and fewer pains in our
fellow creatures. We were not plac-
ed on earth to live for self alone
but to assist the weary souls who
are travelling this mundane sphere
to that long home.

Peace on earth. good will to men
is the doctrine proclaimed by
Christ in the long distant past.
During all these years the great
peoples now at war have been
claiming to be christians and fol-
lowers of the Nazarine. Now after
centuries they are numbering by the
wholesale. May the time speedily
come when war shall be no more
and all mankind may devote their
energies and money to the making
of life more pleasant for those who
are unfortunate. Not only as ma
tionS, but also as individuals may
we accomplish good. Give food to
the hungry, give drink to the thirsty
give clothes to the naked. give q
kindly word and a pleasant smile
to all we meet.

Be Fair.

For years the igreat corporations
have been imposing unjust laws
on the people, but the pendulum is
now going the other way and the
unjust laws are NOW in some in
stances being made against the
great corporations. That is not
right and should not be. Only
laws which are fair and just to all
should besenacted. In making I'M
just laws2against great corporations
no wrong is righted. When the un-
just laws were against the people
the people asked for justice aud
now that the people have won let
US be fair and give equal and exact
justice to ALL be they poor or the
great corporations. The people
need the big corporations and the
big corporations need the people
and the interests of all are mutual.
Unjust tariff and other unjust laws
for years gave manufacturers, rail
roads, ETC., an opportunity to rob
the people and it is not strange
that they took advantage of the OPP
portunity and took what was of
right the peoples property. This
finally overthrow the party which
made the unjust laws and placed
on Democracy the law making
mower, The party of Jefferson
should not now 60 to the other ex-
IRENE and make..unjuSt laws against
the great corporations. That will
not get us anywhere The great
majority of the people are for just
ice and are not for depressing any
industry in order that some other
class may fatten. Be fair to all.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-12-24

The class who would profit by
enlareing the navy and army are
fellows who would build the ships
make the guns and other things
necessary to equip the army and
navy. and if you will notice care
fully the public prints you will also
note that that class or its agents
are doing the most talking for larg'
er navy and army. The country
needs no larger navy and army
than it now has.

Chicago. Ill, January 6.-Daughters
OF the American Revolution, lawyers,
historians and librarians in this city
are all taking a keen interest in the
question as to whether j. p. Morgan. of
New York, should be made to return
the will of Martha Washington to the
records OF Fairfax County, Virginia.
from which it was taken during the
Civil War.
"It seems impossible that Mr.. Morgan
could have kept that will of Martha
Washington without notifying the
Virginia authorities" said Mrs. Abby
Farwell Ferry, regent OF the Chicago
Daughters of the American Revolution.
"The daughters will certainly have
something TO say about this. Resolu-
tions will be passed by every chapter
in the country, and Mr. Morgan will
be politely asked by 100000 women to
return the stolen will TO the records
OF Fairfax County. ] intend to bring
the matter before tho Chicago Daugh-
ters at our next meeting"
"It looks bad when Mr.. Morgan re-
fuses to return the Will when asked
by the officials. of the county from
which 1t was stolen" remarked Mrs.
w. w. Abbott, corresponding secretary
Of the Chicago Daughters of tho Ameri-
can Revolution.
Jacob NJ. Dickinson. lawyer and
former Secretary Of War in the Cabinet
of President Taft, expressed the view
that the case would probably hinge
upon the question of the statute of
limitations of New York in respect to
possession os personal property.
"In some States the statute perfects
the right of possession even as to
stolen property" said Dickinson. TT
would require an examination Of the
New York statutes and probably Of the
decisions under 1t to determine the law
in this case.
"The Virginia law would have no ap-
plication, because the document Is not
In Virginia, but In New York, and q
