THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Let the spirit of Christmas tlme'
'.Peace on earth, good will to men"
come into your heart and be merry
and glad. But in the midst of your
merry making and charitable thought,
do not forget that there are many to
whom Christmas will bring no cheer
These are hOpelessly i'll in hospitals,
the human driftwood in the reforma-
tories. the tiny inmates Of the orphan
ages. If you are able to, bring a bit
of cheer-practical cheer-into the
dead life Of someone confined in one
of these institutions. Do not think
such an effort is a waste of time or
out of date. Indeed, it will be the kind
est act you can do at Christmas time
to think Of someone who has lost his
place, or is not yet able to take his
place in the great world.

WHERE NEXT?
From the Chicago Heraldl

(F'rOm the Chicago Herald).
And now comes Charles E. Hughes,
Republican candidate for the pres
idency, in his proper person and un-
equivocally declares that he would
have severed diplomatic relations with
Germany Immediately after the sink:
ing of the Lusitania
With what a Earring note that eX-
plicit declaration must have fallen on
certain fraction of the German vote.
The statement indeed leaves it in a
sad, abandoned state.
Where next? Rebuled by Wilson,
ruffled by this declaration of the Re-
publican candidate, whittier shall it
wend it's way? To the Prohibition can
didate? The question answers Itself
To the Socialist candidate? For many
reasons the suggestion would probably
not receive a favorable reception.
1t looks like case of Home,

man vote that believed the sinking of
the Lusitania Justifiable and is looking

GRATEFUL TO WILSON FOR PEN
STONS.

SlVNSs
In a letter written for publication,
j. A. Widney, Secretary Of the 10th
Illinois Reunion Association, has the
following to say about pensions un-
der the Wilson administration: 81
notice in the Herald Letter column that
a one-legged old soldier Republican
says he is going to vote for Wilson.
Why not? l think all old soldiers
should vote the same way, as the DEM
ocrats in Congress are our best
friends. When Grant was President
he vetoed an important pension bill
and at the same time signed a bill
increasing his own salary $4,000. Taft
vetoed another bill giving 81 a day
to all of us old soldiers who were rs
years of age and who had served two
years or more. Then the Democrats
came into power and passed SINH
lar bill and Wilson signed it. Follow
ing this Mr.. Ashbrook of Ohio, DEM
ocrat, introduced a bill giving all war
widows over 70 years of age pension
of $40 month. The National Tribune,
the old soldiers paper says: "This
bill never would have passed this last
session of Congress had it not been
for Ashbrook Of the House and Kern
of Indiana of the Senate, both Dem
ocrats."
How under the canopy of heaven can
old soldiers vote for Hughes? Thou
sands of soldiers widows all over this
land, who have been living on $12 a
month, are now made happy over this
late Democratic measure giving them
$40 month
