Just now while that Mexican affair IS proceeding It IS the most interesting event for American citizens 1t IS
 impossible to let the thoughts wander from 1t very long Sometimes the old feeling comes that it is nothing more than the threat of small war which must end quickly in the complete victory of this country and yet sometimes comes the thought that the situation pregnant with pos abilities that might well cause anxiety.
 The hostility of the South American republics IS very serious consideration Not only can the Spanish Americans aid the MeXicanS during the war with mun- tons but later will be engendered feeling of hostility be- tween the Spanish speaking portions of the continent and the English speaking population which may mean loss ot commerce and the virtual nulGhcatiOn of the Monroe Doctrine Indeed in the which looked so close yeser day when we heard of the deaths of the American cavalry men may be the germs of future struggles similar to those which have been drenchng the soil of Europe with blood for centuries Who knows that we now are not watching the birth of storm which may rage in slaughter for ages over this continent? How can we tell that this very day we are not standing at the apparently small source of river of blood which will gain volume from the veins of the two great races of the continent and roll on its agoniz ed course to the ocean of eternity as EuopeS river of blood has flowed and is still flowing and will continue to flow because all men do not speak the same tongue and cannot understand or snpathze with each others aims and ambitions and brides.
 If the United States could honorably now withdraw from Mexico it would be confeTng blessing on posteriy by doing so This giant republic has honor to gain by defeating the MeXcanS and oyerrunnng their country The world would indeed be rather inclined to favor the smaller nation and should be only hOardng up for our selves an unfrendIy feeling from all peoples. To defeat Mexico might mean the injection into the blood of both peoples of that germ of traditional hatred which scarcely ever dies And still it may be necessary to invite the calamity

SAN DIEGO NEW MARINE BASE

San Diego. Calf, Dec. i5.-ihe
geographical location and harbor
facilities Of this city have led to its
selection as a strategical base for the
operation Of the United States Mar
ines on the Pacific coast. The site al
ready has been secured, and the new
naval bill proposes development and
quarters for a minimum force OF
1900 men.
With the establishment Of this
base, an adequate force will be avail
able at all times for eXpeditionary
duty, and it viii not be necessary to
depete the strength of forces stat
toned at Bremerton, Mare Island,
and other Pacific points, except in
eases of emergency.
As Major General Barnett recent
" said that the additional 5000 men
authorized by Congress for the
Marine Corps are being enrolled rap
idly, it is expected that many of the
newly trained soldiers of the sea will
be stationed here.

PATRONS SHOULD

know about their public schools?
How many Of them ever 60 inside Of
school building, except on occas-
ions Of special entertainments?
What do they know from personal
observations? They send their child
rem there for six hours every day for
nine months Of the year and that is
about the end Of it. The public
schools are too much neglected by
people. They are left as it were to
run themselves. One can see that
more school visitations by parents
would be great stimulus to both
teachers and pupils. Why not give a
little more attention 70 the training

CHANNUkAH-FESTIVAL
OF DEDICATION

The Feast of Dedication (Chan-
nukah) commences at shutdown
Tuesday, December 10Th, and lasts
for eight days. It celebrates the sue
cessful ending of a war against re-
ligious tyranny. Its predominant
message, therefore, is religious lib
erty.
In the year 1872 before the present
era, the Syrian king, Antiochus Epi-
planes, set up statue of pagan
deity in the Jewish Temple Of Jeru-
salem, and tried to compel the eJws
to worship it and abandon their own
historic faith. This effort at forcing
an alien religion upon the Jewish
people provoked ap bitter revolt in
which the Jews, led by the famous
Judas Maccabeus and his :. brothers,
finally defeated the Syrian armies,
reentered the Temple and rededica-
ted it as the center Of Jewish wor-
ship. In honors of this rededication,
the feast Of Channukah (dedication)
was established, its eight days to be
holidays, days Of song and thanks
giving.
The holiday is marked by special
prayers of thanks and psalms Of
praise inserted into the daily ritual
and by the kindling of the Channu-
kah lights. The usual custom is to
light one light on the first day, two
on the second, three on the third,
and SO on, adding one each success
sive day Of the feast. AS to the rea-
son for this custom of kindling lights
legends tell that when Judas Macca-
beus and his victorious army rededi-
Gated the Temple and cleansed it Of
all the impurities of idolatry, he
found that there was only enough
pure oil to keep the perpetual light
burning for one day, and it would
be long before new oil could be pro
cured. But miraculously, this small
amount of oil lasted for eight days.
and the perpetual light was rot ex-
tinguished. For this reason. It was
ordained that every year lights
should be Rindled for eight days il
every household It became custo-
plary for the lights to be placed in
the windows and doorways 50 that
the streets of the cities be lighted
up. Thus the feast came to be known
also as the Feast of Lights.
The Jewish date for the beginning
of this feast is the twenty-fifth of
the month of Kesliv. According to
tradition, the reason that Judas Sc
lected this date is because it fell ex-

SHOP EARLY

Do you know that Christmas is
only few days off, and if you have
been visitor down town this week
you are aware that the merchants
have deliberately prepared for you
early shoppers. AS matter of fact
Christmas is only ten days off with
less than eight shopping days, the
last few days before December 25th
are usually busy ones for everybody.
There are many things to do. Christ
mas Trees are to be prepared for the
little ones; dinners are to be arrang-
ed and prepared, for the little and
big; presents to be bought, and
properly hidden SO that they may not
be brought to light until after
Santa's party lists are to be made,
and a thousand other things to be
done. A foray or two among the
shops and stores little earlier this
year than during previous Christmas
seasons would facilitate things very
much. Of course one of the biggest
reasons favoring the Christmas early
shopping idea is the relief it will af
ford those who stand behind the
counters and show and sell the pub
lie what it wants, of course in a
hurry, the dear public forgets many
times, the feelings of those who at
tend their wants, and it is likely that
they will be more eXacting and
grumblesome. If the public will pur-
chase the gifts early, they will find
much more satisfaction in their pur-
chases. The stores have time to give
them better attention, than the last
few days of the Yuletide, when it is
a rush and grab for what is left by
those who were more. thoughtful, to
shop early and make choice selec-
tons. Another reason, for shopping
early, those who have presents to
send to distant towns or cities, will
find by shopping early, they get bet
ter mail service and the presents
reaches the destinations in due time
and ready to be opened at the pro-
per time, Christmas Day. The great
volume Of gifts that will go through
the post office of this country this
season will so jam the mails that
unless the packages are started on
their way early, both the sender and
the person to whom it is sent will
likely meet with disappointment in
delay of delivery. Those who mail
Christmas packages should see that
it carries sufficient postage to start
with. and should be addressed fully
and carefully with the name and the
address of the sender written in the
left hand corner, the package sent
should be carefully and wrapped
securely. With these suggestions in
mind the public can easily see that
early shopping will work mutually
beneficial to all concerned and will
lessen the worry Of the last few days
will make the work Of the shop pao-
pie easier and will work for happi-
ness and contentment and satisfac-
ton in the mind of the purchasers.

New Government for ireland.

Premier Asquth is reported to have said that
the present form OF government for Ireland has
had its day, and that he will devote himself TO
devise a newer method for administering the al
fairs of the island. This presages reformation
in Irish government that ought TO be for the bet
ter Asquith is known to sympathize keeny with
the people OF Ireland in their aspirations for con-
troll Of their local affairs and has hitherto given
support to measures intended to ameliorate their
condition. The problem Of government there is
perpiexing in the extreme, because OF bitter local
antagonisms A home rule bill, all but passed
through Parliament, has the determined oppose
ton Of a large element who go even to the length
OF armed rebellion against the purpose Of the i'm.
peral government in resentment. This is but
one OF the difficulties that must be reconeiled be-
fore entire harmony can be established in Ireland
Americans are unable to fully appreciate the
sentiments OF the Irish on either side. Extreme
devotion to traditions and apparently irreconcil-
able division on issues that have lost their reality
in all the world elsewhere, fail TO appeal to the
world outside, but it is trait Of the Irish charac-
ter which must be reckoned with. Idealism has
a much stronger hold on the people OF the En-
erald Isle than realism and they arc poetic rather
than practical. Ireland in a material way is more
prosperous today than ever and new form Of
government may bring better feeling to It's
people, and perhaps do something to heal
breach that has CAPPED for centuries
Asquiths further announcement Of his plans
will be awaited with interest, because Of the
keen sympathy Americans have for the Irish in
their home problems.
