Our New Pastor.

The many friends of Rev. J. J..
Thomas, of this city received the news
Monday night with great sorrow that
he had been sent from Martin to
Union City. Brother Thomas and his
estimable family have endeared
themselves not only to the members
of the Methodist Church, but to the
entire citizenship of Martin. and his
going away simply is deeply deplored
by many, who hoped that he would
be kept in Martin another year. He
goes to his new charge with the best
wishes and many God be with
YOU" Notwithstanding it is with re-
gret that our people give Mr.. Thomas
up, yet they will extend the glad
hand of welcome to Rev. Warterfield
Martin Mail.
Rev. Thomas preached his first
sermon here last Sunday aud his con
gregation was large and generous in
its greetings.

Christmas Greeting

Dear people: AS the Christmas
season is drawing near, it has oc-
Cured to body of the Goodfellows
of this town that there are a number
of things that the people of Union
City could do in order that the Christ
child might be born in the largest
number of hearts and lives, and that
the true spirit of the holidays may
be observed. In order that this may
be done the following suggestions are
offered:
First-That all poor children and
"shut-ins" be remembered. To do
this a committee from the different
churches has been appointed to re-
ceive toys, clothes, provisions, etc, at
the Christian Endeavor Home to be
distributed by the boy scouts to those
in need.
Second-That anyone knowing OF
persons in need of cheer or substan-
tial help will report the conditions
of these people to the Sunday school
superintendent or the Christian En-
deavor Home.
Third-Anyone having magazines
that old people would enjoy, will
leave these at the Christian Endeavol
Home or at the Sunday schools.
Fourth-Everyone will try to dc
their Christmas shopping and mail
ling early, recalling that the poor
clerks need Christmas and that nc
one will be damaged by shopping
early.
Fifth-Attend the Christmas mu-
steal program to be given by the
young people of the city Sunday, Dec
26, at the Christian Church.
Sincerely yours,
ONE GOODFELLOW.

THHOLE LAW FNE ONlNO " ZEN
MAN EARNING HONEST LIVING
The story of a paroled convict who
was sent back to Joliet for two years
because he left Chicago to get work
is holding the attention of Former
Judge Mckenzie CIeland. He has
written the state board of pardons
asking mercy for the young fellow.
Ray Martin, known in Joliet as
Convict 1892, was arrested two years
ago. While drunk he gave a bartend-
er check which was rejected by the
bank.
He was sent to Joliet for two years
but at the end of the first year he
was released on parole for one year.
He at once furnished a place for his
wife, who had supported herself while
he was in prison, and secured a po-
sitiOn.
A few months later he. lost the job.
A thTee-mOnths' search did not I'M
cover another. Martin and his wife
were starving.
He wrote to Warden Allen at Joliet
and reminded him that he had Of
fered to cancel the parole at the end
of six months if Northumberland. He
got no answer.
The parole law says that an ex-
convict cannot leave the state until |
his parole is served. Martin thought |
his time was done, so he.went to New
York and secured work in a hospital. |
One day man who was an inmate |
of Joliet with Martin drifted into the |
hospital He asked Martin to give |
him money for dope and upon being
refused told the police Martin was |
wanted in Illinois.
He was arrested and brought be-
fore a judge, but discharged. The
police, however, as soon as he left the |
court, took him again into custody
and he was returned here. Once in
Illinois he was re-sentenced for two
years for violation of parole.

THE RUSSIAN RETREAT

THE Eastern armies of Emperor William are
sweeping on into Poland with irresistible mo-
mentum.
Warsaw, the Polish capital, has fallen.
The cars forces are in retreat at every point
and European dispatches paint the situation OF the
allies in darkest colorS.
But, after all, what will it profit GermanyP
Russia'S mighty power is unhroken.
True thousands of prisoners are being taken,
but for every Russian soldier captured, there stand
two ready to take his place in line In truth, these
prisoners are a detriment to Germany for humanity
demands that they be fed, and food is growing more
precious each day in the Teuton empire.
AS the Russians retreat they are leaving devaS-
tation behind them. The German army cannot
therefore SuhsiSt on the country as il goes but must
transport its supplies.
Every additional mile of distance they are trans
ported counts heavily.
The German forces are being drawn further,
and still further, away from their base, and into
bleak, deSoate country, where soon the rigorS of
the Russian winter viii be felt the mercileSS winter
which crushed forever NapoleonS peerless legionS.
From Warsaw 10 Moscow ii is more than six
hundred miles to Petrograd still further.
Until one or the other OF these cities is cap

will not be dealt a vital blow.

THE WISDOM OF OUR COURTS

NEARLY three years ago, Judge Kaufman heard
~. the receiverShp case of the Seattle Renton &
Southern railway and was prepared TO enter
decision.
Had he been allowed to do so, a great many
of the Fostering tactics of the receivers of that road
against the city of Seattle probably would have
been avoided by definite sale of the property,
putting an end TO the recevershp.
But Judge Kaufman was not allowed TO make
his decision.
He had been called 10 try the case in the
absence of Judge Frater, or perhaps, Judge Frater
was busy on some other matter.
In any event, the lawyers got busy, and ii was
charged Judge Kaufman embraced too much in the
tria-that is, he also tried little matter that Judge
Frater was to try.
So an injunction or a writ of prohibition from
the supreme court was secured TO prevent Judge
Kaufman from making his decision. That was
more than two years ago and nearly three years.
All this time the case lay dormant in the
higher court.
Now, at last decision issues from the SUI
preme court to the effect that there was no legal
ground to restrain Judge Kaufman from making
his decision.
And still some folks wonder why courts
which permit such bunglesome, unnecessary and
pernicious interference, do not command the I'M
qualified respect OF the people.
