HIT THEM HARD

. 1t strikes us that the munitions
companies have pointed out the very
best reason why they should be taxed
heavily. A few years ago, it was re-
lealed in the German reichstag that
the Krupps hired agents for the pur-
pose of stirring up trouble in foreign
capitals in order to stimulate invest
ments in armament We do not want
this so-called Kruppism in America.
We do not want citizens whose enor-
nous profits will tempt them into in
citing bad feeling among the nations
simply that the profits may be main
tanned If the managers of the krupp
plant fell so low, there is no reason to
believe that Americans will prove, in
like circumstances, superior to such
appetites.
The premiums upon trouble in va
rious directions are already too great.
The money in it encourages in this
country the circulation Of lies to the
prejudice of Japan and Mexico and
the misleading of the people.
The makers of war munitions can
afford to pay direct taxes better than
the workers can afford to pay the in
direct taxes of which they seem to
know so little.-Exchange

his wonderful pitching gait through

ranked with Alexander and Rube

of that probably, and did what he did,

was to be expected after the big gun
firing all last week. But you note
that whereas he hit not even hypo-

the projectile he fired either, and the
plotting bunch won with ease through
that little let up in the eighth inning.
Two double plays graced the game
and only one man hit by pitcher,
Amama, who also had for time diff

almost to nowhere.

MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS.

Today the whole Christian
world prostrates Itself in ador-
alton around the crib of Beth
lehem and rehearses in accents
of love of history which pre-
cedes all time and will endure
throughout eternity. If asked
to explain the rapturous infu-
ence which controls us we have
no other words than the evan
gel Of JOY which the angel gave
unto earth, "For this day is born
unto you a Saviour, who is
Christ the Lord"
The blessings resulting from
our Christian civilization are
poured out so regularly and
alb Judantly on the intellectual,
moral and social world, like the
sunlight and the air Of heaven
and the fruits Of the earth,
that they have ceased to excite
any, surprise except to those
who visit lands where the reli-
gion of Christ is little known.
Before the advent of Christ
the whole world, with the eH-
ception of the secluded Roman
province of Palestine, was bur
led in idolatry. Men worshiped
the sun and moon and stars Of
heaven. They WOrShipped e1-
erything except God only, to
whom alone divine homage is
due. Christ, the Light of the
World, proclaimed unto all men
in it's fullness the truth which
had hitherto been hidden in Ju-
dea. He taught mankind to know
the one true God, God exist
ing from eternity unto eternity,
A God who created all things
by his wisdom and whose super
intending providence watches
over the affairs of nations as
we'll as of without whom
not even a sparrow falls to the
ground
The message of Christmas day
is intended for all men, for all
times, for all conditions Of ex-
istence. Only by stern adhe
sion to the principles therein
contained can individuals and
nations hope to share in that
peace which has been promised
to men of good will. To violate
them is to reverse the order es-
tabIished by God.-Cardinal Glib
bens.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-12-06

sidered an occasion for cheer.
Merry Christmas" is the slogan
of the day, usually with the ap-
pendage Happy New Year." It
is also the time you receive a
large number of things you
don't want, in exchange for the
same number that you would
rather have kept. It is also the
time father carries the box of
cigars mother gave him out to
the woodshed, removes the
bands, places them on cigars Of
his own and gives what they
originally contained to the ash
man.
Be careful just the same.
Think Of the excellent chance
you had to pass on the white
elephants kind friends presented
you with the year before. You
probably think you had to buy
a lot Of presents. Well, the more

you gave away the more you

you gave away the more you
received.
Cheer up! You don't live in
that western town Of 400 inhab-
itants who are all related and
where every family has to play
Santa Claus with a moving van
to remember all the others.
There are any number of
things to be cheerful, about. If
you are rich, be cheerful! Think
of all the things you can buy.
If you are poor, remember all
the things you can't and won't
have to bother selecting. If you
have a good appetite, you are
lucky to be healthy; if you have
not, remember all you are saw
ing in butcher and grocery bills.
You can be cheerful about ev-
erything if you only look at it
right end to.-Louis B. Capron
in Albany Knickerbocker Press.

not that the job is self-assumed,
she never sleeps on it.
She is frequently the widow
of some man whom the COM
munity held in high esteem. In
a moment of fatal workness he
annexed her to his life, and very
soon that life became worthless
to himand he was glad to lay it
down.
Since worrying him into his
grave, her ambition seems to
be to send him plenty of COM
pany for fear he may become
lonesome, deprived as he is Of
her presence.

CHRISTMAS COSTUMES.

There are many pretty GUS
toms which are observed at
Christmas time in different coun-
tries. One of the prettiest of
these customs is thus described
by traveller in Sweden. He
writes: Zone wintry afternoon
at Christmastide l had been
skating on a pretty lake three
miles from Gothenburg. On my
way home | noted that at ev-
cry farmers house there was
erected, in the middle Of the
dooryard, a pole, to the top Of
which was bound a large, full
.sheaf of grain. This, I was in
formed, was for the little wild
birds. They must have a mer-
ry Christmas, too l was told.
Not a peasant in Sweden will
sit down with his children to
Christmas dinner indoors until
he has first raised aloft Christ
mas dinner for the little birds
that live in the cold and snow
outside"
