CHRISTMAS NIGHT.
Closed

Now the shadows come a creepin'
At the close of Christmas day,
And the yule-log's ruddy embers
Lose their light and turn to gray,
AS we linger at the fireside,
After all good nights are said
And we hear the pitter, patter,
Of the children overhead;
While the Pickering of the candles
And the shadows that they cast
Seem to rend the veil asunder,
Twixt the present and the past;
And the voices waited to us,
AS they romp in childish glee,
Are the voices of our children
AS they gathered round my knee
While l told the Christmas story,
That I've told again today,
To the children of our children,
Who were children yesterday
And our hearts in glad thanksgiving,
Raise prayer of praise above,
For the richness of our blessings,
Thru the fullness of Gods love.

Blow at the Interests of Our AgricuI-

hest of an Exclusive Group of Rail-
road Workers He Increased Their
Pay Without Investigating the Justice
of the Demand.
Charles Il. Hughes, who left Lincoln
for his second days campaigning in

his speech there that the Democratic
Administration had ignored the agri-
cultural interests of the country in
urging the enactment of the Adamson
law The nominee in support of his

requesting that the farmers be per-

proceedings between the railroads and
the brotherhoods. He said:
Someone Must Pay.

Somebody has got to pay the increased
bills, and the farmers will know very

in this discussion, If you may call 1t
that in this surrender have here q
copy of telegram that was sent to the
President by Mr. Pope, the president
of the State Farmers Union of Texas
which l shall read to you:
we ask that you make no conces-
sions or commitments that will in
any manner cause an increase in
freight rates on products produced
or consumed on the farm. The men
who pay the freight have an equity
in this dispute, which neither the
railroad trainmen nor the railroad
managers have authority to repre-
sent. If it is your intention to per-
sonally dispose Of the matter We
ask that you postpone further con-
sideration until a committee of
farmers can prepare information
and data to present their side of
the case. If you conclude to settle
by arbitration. then the organized
farmers should have representation
on any arbitration committee that
may be formed to dispose of this
question; for the men who pay
should have representation as we'll
as the men who receive it.
we again urge that all questions
involved be settled by arbitration,
where all parties and all interests
can be heard and the subject dealt
with aside from haste and intimi-
dation.'
