will she be up to next? I've mind
to put a step-mother over her!"
Even in his present discomfort Har-
rison could not refrain from smiling
that any woman would think of mar
rying old man Summers.

girl and let Mary Bell alone?'

Harrison pointedly objected to hear

father.
"Say, Mr.. Summers said he, Il
won't listen to anything against her"
Summers looked at him amusedly.

The old man reached up to shelf
and handed down an envelope. Then
he left the room, and Harrison drew
his chair UP to the fire.
Very slowly he took the letter from
the envelope, and spread it deliber-
ately upon his knee. He looked into
the fire. 1t was almost too soon after
the trick she had played for him to
be thoroughly delighted to read a
missive from her. But after a while
his curiosity overcame him and he
read:

Well, my dears, that Christmas
morning l shall never forget. The
wind was blowing gale, and borne
along with it came the first Christmas
chimes. Coming from such distance
across the intervening wastes of snow,
they sounded very faint, like angel
bells pealing somewhere off in space.
Standing as did with white world
about me, and the stars preternatur-
ally bright, the chimes thrilled me
through with the sweetest and most
poignant emotion that | had ever
known.

1T stands to reason that the chill

a while without going on the rocks,
but not so with their unfortunate
child, whose fate is sealed almost
from the very beginning.
"Some parents treat their children
the way a certain patriot treated his
country, that is, they love them, not
wisely, but too we'll. They regard
their children as treasures. They
treat them as they would dollhouse
plants. They expend upon them no
intelligence, bat much emotion.
THE result is the children soon
take advantage of their doting par
ents. They become more urgent in
their demands, more insistent on their
own will, which gradually supplants
the will of their parents.

Mgr. O'Reilley, Bishop of Baker City,
Oregon, has addressed a stirring letter
to his people, asking them to rouse to
an interest in foreign missions, and
appointing the first Sunday in Advent
for special collection to be given to the
Society for the Propagation of the
Faith. Bishop O'Reilley states that
his diocese has not yet wholly
emerged from missionary conditions
itself, but Notwithstanding this fact
it ought to be able to do a little
toward supporting the Church in it's
time of stress.
"As long" he says, "as the mission
aries shall be not angels but men, sub
ject to the same needs of food, cloth
ing and shelter as ourselves, so long
also shall there be an intimate con-
nection between the conversion of
heathens and financial contributions. .

WIN SIX STATES.

The prohibition IS have added six
states, Nebraska, Michigan, S. Da-
kota, Florida, Montana and Utah, to
their list and it is generally conced-
ed that the temperance wave is still
sweeping over the country and that
gradually the United States will
drift toward national prohibition. 1t
is claimed that as soon as they have
won a majority of the states there
will be n contest for national prohi-
bition by u constitutional amend
ment.
The temperance people have been
claiming that during this generation
the United States viii become pro-
hibition country and that no liquor
will be manufactured, bought, sold
or given away within the confines OF
this country. Even now many in
Colorado are insisting on prohibiting
the sale or the shipment of liquor in
to this state. In fact, the Democrat
ic party has intimated that it is in
favor of absolute prohibition.
Many believe that prohibition has
come to stay and that it will grad
tally gain ground until all opposi-
ton to it will cease. 1t will be up to
the United States to be the first
great country on the earth to estab
lish national prohibition. The advo-
Gates claim that the movement will
spread to all nations of the word.

ELECT PRESIDENT BY DIRECT
BALLOT.

There is a growing demand for
the election of the President and
Vice President by direct vote of
the people. OF coure, some of the
states would not be in favor of this
plan, but the matter vii no doubt
engage the attention of the people
in the near future.
The objection to this plan on the
part of the Republicans would no
doubt come from the big states of
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Illinois. The objection to this plan
on the part of the Democrats would
come from the south for the reason
that when the president and vice
president would be elected by Si-
rect vote Of the people, the congress

IN UNDESIRABLE POSITION

There is but little doubt now that
the man who has to exercise the du-
ties OF president Tor the next four
years viii have plenty OF sorrow. The
conditions of the country are most
peculiar. Neither Wilson nor Hughes
IS hkely to secure the popular vote,
since the minor parties vail likely
mold the balance OF power along that
me and viii likely hold the balance
vi power in the national house OF
representatives. 1he Democrats at
TINS time are claiming only piu
ranty OF three votes in the house
ana a majority i'll the senate of 8.
The Socialists have been making
great gains and it is possible for
,nem TINS time to have some intlu-
ence in congress, owing to the fact
mat the Democrats VIII not have a
majority. once the Socialists are in
d position to command influence the
party Will increase rapidly. They
clalm that the reason why they have
made no more RAPID progress is be
cause they have not been IN a posi-
,ion to get any legislation.
If wilson Is eleeCed he will have
with him working senate, but the
mouse can not be held for him on any
of the great national questions. The
south Will oppose vigorously the g.
nour law and certainly defeat it and
then the president will get IN bad
with the labor advocates who viii
probably shirt their influence to the
socialist party, many OF whom are
advocates OF the principles of that
party. There will be a demand fof
revision of the tariff but there
will be opposition to it in the Dem
ocratic party and nothing will likely
be done.
On the other hand should Hughes
be declared the president elect he
will have contrary congress and
can make nc progressive laws. He
will not be able to change the pres
ent tariff law. 1t is advocated that
If the war should close during the
next term, and it likely will, there
will be great demand for protec-
tive tariff in order to stimulate bust
ness and furnish employment for the
laborers that will lose their jobs
when the munition factories close
down.
Certainly the war issues in Europe
and in Mexico, the tariff, the labor
question and dozen others Will
bring grief enough to the man who
is to be our next president. Condi-
tions are SO unsettled and this vote
not give the man elected any idea OF
what the people of this country want
on the national issues. 1t would
seem that they themselves do not
know what they want. Then too the
rapid rise Of the price of provisions
will finally call for an embargo on
certain products, This viii cause
plenty of grief for all.

of 10000 feet and more. But as the
range increases daring aviators in
crease their attitude apparently with
saIery and satisfaction to their pur-
pose.
The use of the aeroplane for scout
ing has made the artillery warfare
game Of hide and seek. The most
ingenious methods are employed to
screen the batteries. 1t is imposs-
ible to erect Notifications that will
protect the big guns once the enemy
gets their range. They must move
to new ocations. Speaking of this
phase OF the war, Lieutenant Merrill
says:
Guns have been placed in dwelling
houses, barns, chicken houses, even
in the kitchen Of cafe. Caissons
and limbers are concealed in hay
stacks, barns, sheds, covered with
hay or surrounded by transplanted
trees. When an artillery commander
has hidden his guns he has his owD
s. -noplane fly over him many timcg
to see if they can be seen. When a
hostile aeroplane appears the person
mel of artillery invariably stand stock
still; otherwise the aerial observer
would discover men moving about
and surmise the presence Of artillery.
This art of concealment has been
developed to such high degree that
airmen now suspect every proturb-
ance, every hum on the otherwise
level surface below them. Almost
without exception, field batteries in
direct fire positions have suffered
heavily.

of the United States would determine
the rules OF voting on president and
president and also determine the
qualifications of all voters taking
part in such elections.
This certainly would be fair to all
parties inasinuch as the national cleo
ton would then be out Of unison Of
method. The state elections would
be separate from the national. 1t is
the state matter that has always vex-
cd the southern states. The states
would still control their own cleo
tions for state and local government,
but have nothing to do with the ma

EuRUrES ARTILLERY

perIs so nlucn as the development OF
arLiiery. II Is peculiarly interesting
TO the Amerlcan army observers be-
cause the uniped States held artil-

war with u type OF artillery that had
never been seen IN action. Her big
guns razed towns and decimated
armies miles away. Today England
ana france have caught up and In
some respects are ahead Of Germany
In the matter OF arms.
An interesting discussion Of artil-
lery reforms in Europe is given by
Lieutenant Merrill of the United
States army, in the current issue of
an army trade journal. Lieutenant
Merrill points out that when the war
started ali the belhgerents had de-
veloped small calibre, quick-tiring
field guns. The French we're proud
of their 75-millimeter gun and the
English were practically limited to
the AS inch howitzers when they first

WHAT WILL BE THE PRoGRAM2

Outside of the question of who has
been selected as the choice of the
people for president for the next
four years, the question of what will
ne our national program for the next
four years is the one that will COM
mand the attention of the people.
If Wilson has been chosen it is
predicted that he soon will ask the
Mexican people to quit quarreling
and fighting and settle down to bust
ness. 1t is probable that if they do
not President Wilson will interfere
and compel by force Of arms the
establishment of stable govern
ment in Mexico, one that will insure
safety to our people along the bor-
der and to those who happen to b.
in Mexico.
Should Hughes come in as presi-
dent next Mach it is likely that Will
son will keep the troops ON the bor-
der until that time and then turn the
whole affair over to Hughes. No
PRESIDENT desire to take up a matter
ike that at the close of his admins
tration. 1t will be remembered that
taft refused to take up the matter
1T the very close of his administra-
don. After March Hughes will no
doubt have definite program to be
carried out in the event that he be-
comes president.

FURNISH TRANSPORTATION
FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

The patrons OF school district No.
AZ, at their annual election May LIST,
voted to transport the children who
live too far to walk to the present
school. 1t is proposed to do this in
two autos, each going about 15 miles
IN collecting the children. If at the
end of one year the scheme proves
successful, then consolidation of all
the schools will be affected.
The school board at Grover, Weld
county, are doing exactly the same
thing this year, with greatly increas-
ed efficiency in their school.
This is what any sensible farmer
would do with improved farm seeds
or farming implements-give the new
thing trial.

may be such a success that at the
end of the engagement they may
unite for better or worse and make it
permanent.

ALL WITH THE WINNERS.


Here in America the people may
contest to the last minute for the
various offices of the nation, state,
mstriet and county, but when the
election is over that should settle the
matter. The winners become the of
ice holders and it is up to the peo-
pie to help them enforce all the laws
and to perform the duties of their
respective offices to the best of their
ability in the interest Of the people.
Those who are defeated should join
m the unanimous support of those
who are to act for the people. The
various officers, tho elected by only
d majority, are to serve the whole
people. They should be given the very
oest opportunity to do that. 1t will
oe the mission of the Herad to stand
oy all, regardless OF party, when they
are performing their duties to the
people, but it will at all times re-
serve the right to condemn wrong
and criticise any method or policy OF
any officer of the nation, state, dis
rrict, or county if that method or pol
icy seems not to be in the interest OF
the whole people insofar as it is pos
sible. We believe that a majority
mas the right to expect the good will
OF the minority and it is the duty OF
the minority to work with the ma
Jority in the interests of the people.
