 Christmas at Sacred Heart Church.
 At Sacred Heart church Christmas morning the children's mass at 7.S0 o'clock, and at o'clock there was a high mass. Rev. Charles w. Bren- nan said in his sermon: The story Of the birth or Christ as told In Sol. Luke is a beautiful story for this time of the year. We see Joseph and Mary coming over the hills from Nazareth to Bethlehem to be enrolled because they were of the house of David. Beth Iehem was a historic spot. the mean ing of the name being House of rBead. Christ says, am the Bread of Life which came down from Heaven. He said: Lo am with you always. even unto the end of the world. The birth of Christ in Bethlehem fulfils the prophecy of Micah. Always the first born son was to be a priest unless he was >deemed. The angels tell the good dings to the shepherds. Our Saviour was born for all lived for all, died for all He was Christ the An nointed. These words. Glory to God in the Highest are the first Christ mas carol. All the angels of God adored Him, St Paul says. Let us earnestly adore Him and let His peace come into our hearts at this time.
 During the mass the soloists were Misses May Pounch and Bessie Cal lahan. also William Lyons, Benjamin Houlihan and John Kingsley. The dec orations this year were of unusual beauty. Ropes of evergreen between the pillars and high above the altar were used. Palms and hemlock trees were about the sanctuary. The light ed altar with it's ferns, wreaths, pot ted plants, lilies roses and carna- : lions was most beautiful. At each side of the crib were hemlocks and holly. The manager scene was very realistic

THE UNFAIR PRESS.

one Of the methods employed Dy

when he read to the senate a letter
from the editor of the Elkhart Demo-

Quirer is so engaged

gram from the Enquirer requesting
him TO send three hundred words

expressions is improbable as senti-

The kernel in this particular nut is
that the Cincinnati Enquirer is owned
by John \. Mclean, who is also the
owner OF the Washington Post. a
paper which has violently opposed
Pres. Wilson's policies from the begin

Huerta's proposition To arbitrate

nations cannot do that and maintain

JAILS AND dope"


JailOrs in several of the large cities
have been complaining about the
smuggling of dope" and intOxicants
to prisoners, with meals supplied from
the outside, and in one or two in
stances it has been reported that the
privilege Of sending out for meals has
been denied for that reason. This
seems to be particularly in the cases
of prisoners awaiting trial and whom
the law presumes to be innocent until
a jury decides otherwise.
After conviction il might be a good
rule to put all prisoners on the same
fare, but it would be unjust in the case
of prisoners awaiting trial TO deny
them the privilege of using fruit and
food supplied by friends, or the privi-
lege of sending outside to buy things
not included in the regular prison bill
of fare
The smuggling practice has been
carried on very extensively in New
work state, and instances in which
prisoners have been found under the
influence of whisky, opium or cocaine
have been numerous. Mrs Davis, the
intelligent commissioner of correction
has hit upon a prevention, however
which seems TO offer a simple and sat
isfactOry solution Of the question. A
rule she mas Issued forbids prisoners
from receiving food from outside, but
permits the prison caterer" to supply
extras at moderate prices This plan
enables the officials TO fix the respon-
sibility when prisoners are supplied
with forbidden goods. - Wheeling

TIE GOVERNORS NETOES.


Six hundred and fifty bills passed
during the closing hours of the legisla-
ture, were sent to Governor Glynn for
his approval or disapprOval. Many of
them should not have gone as far as
they did Had not Governor Glynn
applied himself assiduously to the task
of wedding out the faulty measures,
many gross injustices would have been
done to the people of the state of New
York
Regardless of their political sources,
all bills have been vetoed which could
not stand the test of detailed eXamina-
ton Early this week, for instance.
Governor Glynn applied an Omnibus
veto" to seventeen claims bills which
had gone through without being ade-
quately considered. That single swing
of the veto axe saved the state nearly
one million dollars.
In guarding the states finances from
the inroads of private or minority in
terestS, Governor Glynn has shown
welcome activity. Late last night the
Adler bill. relating to the disposition
of the state lands along the Erie canal,
went by the board The bill provided
for the appraisal of these valuable
lands which were purchased by the
state in connection with the building
of the canal, bus have since been

1t was proposed in the bill that the
Canal board should be authorized to
sell them to adjacent cities or villages
for a consideration less than the
amount of the appraisal.

an action, the governor declares in his
veto message, prompted him to refuse
