Lonely on Christmas.

Christmas is hOming season. The
wanderer times his roamings so they
draw him to the family board for the
great birthday.
The first Christmas away from home
is sorry one, and the bride who must
decide between spending the day with
his or her family has need Of much
grace to make the break in favor OF
him.
Because the home ties are so strong
ut the holidays Christmas day brings
some of the loneliest hours Of the year
to those with whom home is only
memory.
1t is not Il pleasant thought that there
is no one who cares whether our Christ
mas be happy or not. 1t is thought
that once allowed to root brings bitter
ness of soul. Instead of watering lone
illness with tears smother it with kind
thought for others.
Do not sit moping the day away; dis
tract yourself: force content: go into
the highways and byways for company
rather than sit alone,
You may not have money to spend;
| YOU may fear rebutfs from advances to
comparative strangers. but there Is
| scarcely one among our acquaintance
with whom we cannot come into close
! Christmas touch if the desire be with.
! in us.
The thing is to have the Christmas
spirit so strong within us that it scars
above unhappy environments.
AS DR.. van Dyke has put it in his
christmas Prayer For Lonely Folks
i Lord God Of the solitary. aa
Look upon me in my loneliness.
/ Since I may not keep this Christmas in
the home a
/ Send it into my heart.
Have Christmas in the heart, and
the dreaded day will be passed, not In
sadness and loneliness. but with in
ward comfort to sweeten it into for.

An application OF the principles Of
free trade has. within less than a
year, transformed great Industrial
boom into severeindustrial depres-

men in this country out of work.
Therefore, we, the undersigned

without which there can be no de-

Jointly and unitedly consider what
the facts are and what can be done
to afford relief. Cooperation, If you
will. is the essence OF success; other
wise the organized minority rules.
II. therefore, we who believe in Re-
publican principles in Pennsylvania,
and we who believe in Republican
principles in the nation, are to put
cur principles into practice, we must
form solid, united party.
Now what are the facts US they at
feet the business conditions in this
community? We know that the ag-
ricultural and manufactured prod
ucts OF other countries, where cheap
labor and low standards Of living
make the cost of production very
much lower than in the United States
have been poured. into our markets
since the free trade legislation was
enacted 10 such an extent that de-
moralization has resulted. During
the first seven months of 1914-be-
fore the European war began-the
value of European goods dumped on
our markets was greater by $122,-
100000 than for the corresponding
reriod of 1918. But the revenue to
the government on these importations
was less by $23,0O0,000 than during
tile corresponding period of 1913. In
other words, Democratic rule has not
only brought competition with cheap
foreign labor and caused our mills to
close, and drained our treasury and
put our gold in European pockets,
Int now we are about to be fined in
addition by the placing upon bust
ness of more encumbrances under
the excuse of war.
All OF us looked upon the income
tax as a. patriotic obligation, but
with the income taken away, what
will be the next Democratic expedi-
cnt to relieve still greater deficit
in tile national treasury? If a'$10O,-
900 900 socaEed war tax had to be
levied this year to meet deficit al
ready existing, what Democratic
times would bring to business men
next year Is awful to contemplate.
What business wants, and must
have, is protection and help. Pro-
lection is the only issue in this fight.
