PEACE ON EARTH TO
MEN OF GOOD Will

Christmas is, indeed. blessed seas
on--a vcritable reminder of the most
stupendous fact IN the history OF
mankind-the anniversary of the
birth of Christ. And over the whole
world, in spite of sin and sorrow, and
war, and famine, and pestilence, there
des cended each succeeding Christmas
a spirit of peace, of happiness, not IF
the worlds seeking nor of the
world 5 making.
Much, therefore, depends on how
we ourselves recei 70 the message pro-
claimed by angels at the dawn of the
nativity-'Pe Peace On earth but
only to men of gool will.

DRINKING AND SHOOTING.

Alcohol as a beverage has been barred out of the United States navy. Following the recommendation of Surgeon. General Braised Secretary of the Navy Jo sephus Daniels has issued executive order abolish ing all alcoholic liquors every ship and station of the navy The order reads, "The introduction for drinking purposes of alcoholic liquors board any naval vessels or within any naval yard station, is strictly prohibited and commanding officers will be held directly responsible for enforcement of this order The significance and extent of the change which has taken place in popular regarding alcohol indicated by this sweeping order of the secretary, be appreciated only when one recalls the stories of naval experiences of past generations when brandy and whskey formed part of the regular official ra- tons. when liquor of kind served, as into action when of the chief characteristics to dispose of an amazing quantity of intoxcants The development of scientific methods and the use of in of precision in warfare have made alcohol absolutely detrimental to the modern naval man.

LIGHT ON RAILROADS.

That there is distinct disappointment the latest announcement by the Interstate Commerce Commission has been evident and of the results of the delay in reaching decision clearly pointed out in an editorial in the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin which reproduce. The editorial is as follows:
 The announcement of the Interstate Commerce Com mission that it will hear argument the question of allowing the five per advance in railroad rates April 27 is not very promising for speedy decision on the main question: in view of the further that the record will be closed until replies have been filed certain questions, and investigation lin connection herewith has been made. and hear ngs now in contemplation upon these last mentioned matters have been had" There is knowing how long all this will take and in the meantime the rail roads will be very uneasy.
 "The question to which replies must be filed were submitted by the Commission in circular letters of De oember 20. 1913 and February 26. 1914 The fornIe contained IS questions and subdivisions relating to ti various statistics necesstang good of time and expense prepare The latter calls information about the collection and delivery of freight for ship pers the transportation containers storage furnish ing paying for wharfage or dockage and refrgerat ing service. The purpose is to get what the rail- roads do for shippers and consgnees apart from mere transportation their tracks and how far and how much they paid for it. It is understood that the railroads have been working up the facts and figures, but how long it will take and then much time will be spent in hearings these matters is altogether uncertain.

OUR COUNTRY AND MEXICO.

review of the latest events in the Mexican trouble would be unconvincing and worthless unless predi. cated the fact that the situation is special lt does the coordnaed clements of which international dilemmas are usually composed.
 The United States is neither aroused by anger toward the Mexicans nation is it hostile to tous for the welfare of the Mexican people. At no time has it been unsefshly ready aid them. The situation is special because of the fact that a despot has usurped the reins of authority in Mexico City and has taken unto himself the symbols bers of dulyorganized and powerful revolutionary movement in his country than by the constituted government Of the United States.
 The action taken by President Wilson and Congress is neither intended be, is in fact necessarily preliminary a declaration of against Mexico as nation There is nothing in it which should be in. terpreted by the Mexcans an affront to their flag or menace to country. seizure and blockad- ing of Mexican ports adopted primarily for the purpose of sappng Huerta's strength as well to worldwide notice that the United States cannot nsulted impunity This course afforded the only available means of depriving Huerta of the sinews of war His will be cut off and muni- tions him will be confiscaed
 Although the administration Washington is not volunteering categorical for the steps is taking it is left the ready inference of reasoning that the results hoped for include the complete humiliation of Huerta in the eyes of truly patriotic Mexicans When they have proof that Huerta is nothing more than a weaking braggard incompetent national leader because the Mexicans as a nation enlist his flag. and directly re- sponsble for the troubles brought upon himself and unwingy shared by others outside of his supine following they will demand for his political effacement
 The situation is special because this one man stands between Mexico and the United States and in chastisng him it is necessary swing the lash shoulders which it is not the intention wound.
 Now that in the crisis has been reached it escape the attention of President Wilson's critics that this country is splenddly prepared whatever contingencies may arise The administration had the Atlantic fleet under even before the issue became acute The policy of "watohfu waiting" it seems set hair trigger It contained all of fearessness coupled with calmness. and prepared tuned execution that the prestige and welfare Of a nation demands.

THE PHOENIX CONFERENCE.

Following is short" question which an Arizona contemporary suggests should be put to every or woman who advocates merger of the Republican and Progressive parties:
 "On what basis?"
 IL is especially pertinent this time when the Bull Moosers assembled in Phoenix. The leaders in conference have ignored it. apparently. Although fronted with the fact that their party is morbund they have elected o indulge in the starvation tactics popular with English mitants who have been sentenced to prison

Elizabeth Bloedel. who had come from his home town and settled in Erie, Pa. Mrs weyerhaeuser died two years ago. Seven children have all grown to maturing,
 Sons Ills 6usiness Lieutenants
 J. P. Weyerhaeusor is the oldest.
 Elsie is the wife of Dr.. William II. Hill of the faculty of Vassar college at Poughkeepsie.
 Margaret is Mrs. J. B. Jewett. Her husband is a professor of Semeuc languages at the University of Chi. cago.
 Appollonia married E. s. Davis who is head of the Weyerhaeuser Rock Island interests exclusive of lumber.
 The three younger sons are Charles A. Rudolph M. and Frederick F. Weyerhaeuser All four sons have been lieutenants in their fathers bus mess
 When Weyerhaeuser. with broth erin-law, secured control of small saw mill at Rock Island. during the cos the booming times Of the lumber industry along the Mississippi rapidly were pushing to their high tide.
 Thrift Gave His Start
 Weyerhaeuser got his financial start by applying the strictest Ger man thrift and economy to a busi. ness, which at that time was being permitted to run on a profligate scale. "Never lose log" became Weyer hoeusor's slogan in the days when hundreds and thousands of white pine logs daily escaped from the rafts being floated from the woods to tho mills He picked profits with 10th hands from this source when others refused to bother with 'so small a matter" ..-
 Weyerhauser next tackled the ques ton of middleman. Sometimes three and even four profits were the prin cipal cause of the great, costly con fusion, regarding the ownership oi logs.
 coneeiVed Big Combination
 In wiping out the middlemen Wey erhaeuser conceived the idea of the Mississinpi Boom and Logging com p"nv which was a combination of the biggest men in the lumber trade fl the middle west and which was con summated at the Briggs House in Chi oago. December 1870 Weyerhaeuser as usual. was an unobtrusive attend ant at this meeting, but when th' meeting concluded, he was one of th' three members of the executive com mittee, and within a few years his as sooiates in the big concern discovered that Weyerhaeuser was the Mississip pi Boom and Logging company. H' became president of that organization one year after it's formation and hell the job for 40 years. From this poin the value of the holdings began to ruI into the millions rapidly.
 Another important landmark in hi career. was tue year 1894, when Il secured the cooperation of Edwar Hines, the Chicago lulnberman, wh became widely known at the time c the Lorimer senatorial scandal

These radical proposals what the present time dscred the Progressive party and contribute to it's progressing weakness.
 The fly in the ointment is furnished by those Bull Moosers who afflicted with the ills of fanaticism They decline return the rehablitated and orderly political home in which they were reared. They refuse return, because they can't do so without loss of honor or opportunity to aid their cause through a merger but because they won't The Republican party is in conciatory mood It would meet the Prosressves than half way.
