CHRISTMAS GIVING.

The practice of Christmas giving,
however much it may be abused at
times springs from the most ad-
mirable motives that influence human
conduct. Granted that to a few it
Is a perfunctory obligation, dis
charged with re'uctancy. to the vast
majority II Is a delightful duty, bring
ing with it full realization of the truth
that ii is more blessed to give than
to receive.
But from the purely practical
standpoint of the greatest good to
the greatest number the abandon
ment of Christina giving cannot be
iustified in view of the widespread
hardship it would entail here at
home. The custom provides profit
able employment for a multitude of
persons not only during the special
season of cheer, but throughout the
year
The exchange Of gifts gives a
wholesome stimulus to business in
general. 1t has come TO play an i'm
nortant part In our commercial sys-
tenn and one which Is reckoned on
,ong In advance by enterprising busi-
ness men. True charity begins at
home. 1t need not stay there per-
manently for that would be un-
aduTterated selfishness. But the
scriptural Injunction to look first
after the needs of our household can
not be disregarded. For many rea-
SONS. not all purely material either.
TO cease exchanging presents on
the great holiday Of the year would
be calamity.-Pittsburg Gazette

FIRST SEA TROUT OF SEASON
HERE FROM NORTH CAROLINA

The first sea trout Of the season to
reach here is now being sold by fish
dealers in Centre Market During the
past month a dozen reports that sea
trout was about to arrive were made
and perhaps that is the reason some
of the dealers have labeled the fish
genuine sea trout. The fish sells
at fifteen cents a pound. 1t is caught
in North Carolina waters.
White perch has also made its ap-
pearance after a long absence. A
fine batch of the perch were caught
in Long Island Sound during the
week. They average about pound
each and retail at twenty cents a
pound.
The supply of scallops is much
larger at present than 1t has been for
six weeks. In consequence the price
of this popular morsel has dropped
from 81 to eighty-five cents a quart.
The scallops sold here are brought
from Rhode Island where large
catches have been made recently.
Halibut and fresh mackerel are
more plentiful also and are cheaper
than last week. There is so much
green" or fresh halibut available
that the frozen variety is not being
sold. Halibut is now selling at
twenty cents a pound instead of

GREAT PAGEANT
FOR ANNIVERSARY
Newark Plans Celebration on
Lines Similar to ST.
Louis Fete.


A pageant similar to the annual
Entry OF the Yelled Prophet" with
which st. Louis entertains it's citizens
and fall buyers each October, prac-
tically has been decided upon for the
celebration of the 25Oth anniversary
of Newark. Miss Frances Hays has
told the committee in detail of the
many attractive features in the ST.
Louis pageant last month, and some-
thing like them practically has been
agreed upon.
The pageantry committee Of the
Committee of One Hundred, which is
arranging for the festival. has invited
Professor Thomas w. Stevens, of
Pittsburgh, and Miss Mary Porter
Beegle, of New York, to advise them
in the matter of arrangement.
Professor Stevens, who is in the
dramatic art department of the Car
negie Institute of Technology, will de-
liver a lecture in Newark December
6, and the pageantry committee
expects TO meet him at that time.

times and under all circumstances to
avoid inficting unnecessary pain or
discomfort on the animals that are be-
ing utilized for humanity's sake.
Heads of departments and college au-
thorities should-and we believe do
recognize their responsibility, not only
for their own acts, but also for the
acts of their assistants, subordinates
and employees. 1t is no excuse for the
head of a department to say that he
has done nothing for which he can be
criticized or that he has given direc-
lions to his subordinates to do GER
tain things. He is responsible for
their actions. 1t is directly incumb-
ent on the responsible head of each de-
partment in which animal experiment
tation is necessary to see to it that ev-
erything possible is done to reduce
the pain, discomfort and suffering of
the animal to the smallest amount.
When this is done, the responsible
person should be held, not only moral
ly, but also legally, accountable for
any unnecessary or avoidable pain or
suffering.
This leads to the statement of an
other fact, that the general laws re-
lating to cruelty to animals, now in
existence in practically all the states,
are amply sufficient without any spe-
cial legislation on the subject. There
is no need of special laws against the
infection of pain on animals during
scientific experimentation laws
already exist. The same law that pun
ishes the cruel or thoughtless teams
ter or cab-driver will also punish the
cruel or thoughtless scientific man, if
such exists.

DR.. Joshua E Sweet, one of the six
members of the faculty of the Depart
ment of Medicine of the University OF
Pennsylvania, has been on trial IN
Philadelphia during the last week
charged with wanton and unnecessary
cruelty to dogs. Indictments were
brought under the state law forbidding
cruelty to animals.
After forty eight hours elaboration
the jury disagreed. Commenting on
the case, the Journal of the American
Medical Association says that, regard
less of its ultimate outcome, this trial
is of value as an illustration OF the
general principles underlying the posi-
ton of the scientific medical profess
sion on this subject. Briefly stated,
these are that the use of animals for
experimental purposes is absolutely
essential to the progress of scientific
knowledge for the control and sup
preston of human diseases. No
greater calamity could befall the pub
lie than the curtailing of the liberty of
scientific men to carry on such expert
mental work. Such privilege, how
ever, carries WIFI IL lhe TeSpohslpiity
on the part of all scientific men and
institutions in which experimental re-
search is carried on to take every pos
sible precaution to avoid even the APP
pearance OF infiicting any unnecessary
pain. hardship or suffering on the ami
mails which are the subjects of such
experiments and through whose pain
the human race is the gamer. This
case, therefore, emphasizes what is
generally recognized as a fact, that it
is the duty of research workers at all

received by a middle aged lady, who
heard his request-one made simply
through politeness. for he could camp
where he liked-and seemed uncertain
what to say in reply.
I'VE are to have a wedding here be-
fore long" she said at last. DO you
suppose that n camp on the lot beside
us will in any way interfere with it?'
Not at all, madam. On the contrary,
the presence of the general command
ing the troops which are to occupy this
point will be n protection to you"
"In that case you have my consent"
The young man rose, bowed and was
about to leave when the lady asked
him when the troops would arrive.
He replied that they would come in a
few days. When she asked where he
would stay in the meantime and he
replied that he would bivouac on the
lot he had chosen she was moved
with compassion and invited him and
his men to stop at her house. Gar
land accepted the invitation, but his
men preferred the lot. They had their

Miss Lucille Rutlidge. the bride, expect

southern girls with peach complex
ions to be found only in the southern
states. Southern ladies' during the war
whenever they would come in contact
with their enemies almost invariably
treated them with politeness, often
with consideration. Miss Rutlidge
made slight inclination to Garland.

him TO feel at ease by conversation.

Colonel Cocktails, builder OF the

credited with being above political or
anti-American motives in advancing
his views as to the rules to govern its
privileges. The colonel emphatically
opposes free tolls TO American coast
wise vessels as amounting 10 a subsidy
to a class OF shipping not in need OF it,
and as benefting stockholders and not
shippers. Colonel Goethals further OPP
poses this free grant because the canal
will need all the revenue it can get to

prejudice in the interest Of costly
monopoly. against the judgment of the

CONGRESSMAN from the Fourteenth District.

for the peace and contentment OF the
Latin-American countries, the A. Is
G.. nations will have the strong moral
support of the United States.
The outlook for the peace OF Latin
American is bright. Racial feeling has
existed against the United States. We
have been suspected of being imper
ialists at heart, and since the only di
rection in which continental United
States can grow is southwark through
the Latin republics. all of our efforts
toward preserving honor and decency
in Central America have been looked
upon as the possible approaches OF
conqueror seeking a territorial foot
hold. That is the feeling in Mexico to
day that arouses anti-American out
bursts on the part of the population.
The benefcient administration oil
Woodrow Wilson should set the Unit
ed States right in the eyes of her
southern neighbors. His prompt &C
ceptance of the offer of mediation
came as a revelation to MeXicans who
had attributed the attitude of the
United States to her supposed desire
to annex Mexico. The three South
American republics will not be sus-
pected of having territorial designs on
Mexico. Their legates speak the
tongue that is understood in Mexico.
ami there will be no race prejudice to
embarrass the negotiation.
Given a fair chance, without com
plications from the ambitions of in
dividuals of power in Mexico, the
mediators ought to bring about a peace
he
Mexico, but which will have a lasting
beneficent effect on all OF Latin
America
The American people should pray
for the success of this effort. Its sue
cess will not only relieve the United
States of a great and perilous burden,
but IL will mark the greatest achieve
ment of the United States in her in
ternational relations since the day the
Monroe doctrine was uttered.
