PARTICULARLY MASSACHUSETTS"

1t is impossible for high protectionists to conceal the cloven hoof
of selfish interest when they make an appeal for government aid for
their wi particular pockets. Pttsburg doesn't care especially how the
textile industry fares so long as iron and steel are taken care of. Massa-
chuseus AN look with complacency upon importatons of "pauper' iron
and steel products if her textile and other industries are permitted a
monopoly. 1t is only on the principle that united we stand, divided we
fall" that the various penedciaries of protection get together when neces-
sary in a blanket demand for a general license to bleed the entire nation
for their several and respective profits.
Te selfish viewpoint is well revealed in the resolution passed by the
Republican state senate of Massachusetts, asJfollows: Resolved, That
the general court favors a revision of the tariff by congress in such a
manner as to protect adequately the industries of the United States and
particularly those OF the commonwealth of Massachusetts"
Particularly those of Massachusetts," Do you get the point? Only
a very mild general interest as to the welfare of the other forty-seven
states. That phrase, particularly those of the commonwealth of Mass
achusetts," is in itself a sermon on the inherent selfshness and false pre-
tcnce OF the protection theory.

THE MYSTERY OF CHRISTMAS
One Day Of the Year That All Other
Days Are Learning to Envy
and Initiate.

1t seems to me that always, as the
Gath of December commenced to
shorten, the white, fleecy snow began
to fall, says a writer in the Crafts
man. When the street lamps flick
cred up like candles on an altar, they
gazed on world that was white. The
strife of the city was muffled. Carts
went by, but you had to peer out
through the blinds to know that they
were passing-they made no sound.
An atmosphere of gentleness had de.
scended Everyone in the house went
about with stealth, as though planning
some secret kindness.
And then the night and the trying
to keep awake till Santa Claus should
come. And the waking up, with the
frost weaving patterns on the panes,

ing played, and cornet was challeng.
ing the silence. The tune they played
was an accompaniment to the most
beautiful legend in the world Ae

why for once the darkness was not
frightening, and then, "Ah, it's Christ
mas!' AS you turned, your feet made

AN EXPENSIVE INSTITUTION

the paper crack, and at the end of the
bed you were too content and happy
even to look at your presents. Why
was 1t that next day everybody and
everything was different? The air was
full of bells singing riotously. Every
one, for this one day, ceased to think
of his own happiness and found hap
piness in bringing cheerfulness to
others. The stern gulf which is fixed
between children and grown-ups had
vanished-there weren't any grown
ups. Somewhere in your childish
heart you wondered why every day
couldn't be made day of kindness.
And that wonder of childs heart
is the Christmas message. Once a
year, by a divine conspiracy, all the
ships of our hopes and fears turn back
from their voyagings to the harbor of
tenderness. They are borne back on
the crest of white tide of mysticism
that sweeps round the world. A truce
of God is declared to all fightings, and
men and women walk as children
through world that is kind They
commence to give and cease to annex;
they act in the belief that God is in
his heaven. The spirit is one tremu-
lous white day of unselfishness-a day
which gradually some other days in
the year are learning to envy and imi-
tate.

But Cost of Christmas Pays Big Re-
turns in Joy and Happiness of
Children.

Christmas is very costly institu-
ton. 1t makes deep holes in millions
of well-filled pockets. Fathers hand
reaches into his pocket more often
in the few weeks before Christmas
than during any other period of equal
extent in the whole year. And lots of
money goes for presents that, in the
hands of happy children, last very
short time. Nightfall of Christmas
day sees many toys in mangled heaps
that bright and shining and new greet
ed the little folks as they hoped out
of bed Christmas morning. And mil
lions and millions of things are bought
that never would be, if it were not for
Christmas. But does all this mean that
Christmas is not worth the money it
costs, that it would be better If the
world did not observe the anniversary
of Christ's birth in the way it does?
Nobody in the whole wide Christian
part of the world will say that Christ
mas does not pay for itself. that it is
not worth all it costs, and that 1t is
not a bargain at any price. Where can
be found a father and mother who
feel that they have been cheated by
Christmas, after they hear the CUR
Cling laughter of their children. in
ecstasy among their new toys, even if
there had to be skimping and saving of
pennies to buy the little presents p

After about fifty people had rushed
up to the pale young woman and then

spoke to her.
