Holiday Time In Holland.

ly every Dutch town at o'clock on
Christmas morning the young men as
semble in the market place and light
large bonfres and sing carols until
dawn. when they repair to the house
Of some prominent man and partake of
4 bountiful breakfast. England, how
ever. furnishes the best example Of the

NAVY

A L home ports or at sea extra good
n rations during the Christmas hol-
days are now special feature
on the United States warships.
The supplies now served are in marked
contrast with those obtainable on the
vessels Of the ole navy far from home
Whenever possible the ships are or.
dered to home ports for Christmas.
Shortly after arrival the men are put
to work. Inside and out-in cabins, In
Wardroom and about the desk-there Is
a swarm of seamen at work. Some
will be painting. and others will be
polishing metal work, ratings, the
monster guns and brass instruments on
the bridge.
Shortly before Christmas all the work
will have been completed The ships
will be spick and span, and the seamen
will begin to prepare for land. Those
who are to go to their homes in the
south. middle west, New England and
elsewhere probably will leave in time
to reach home on Christmas. Others
will save expenses by remaining aboard
ship. Hundreds Of the. good conduct
men will have whole weeks fur
Tough, and when these return others
will go away.
Some Of the men on furlough will not
go home at all. This may be because
their money will be too low to warrant
the expense of a long journey or 1t
may be that they will hear the call of
the big cities. At any rate they will
arrange 1t nicely. They will spend the
days ashore and regard their ships as
hotels, whittier they may repair at
night.
They need not bother about the time
Of leaving or of reporting and they
may sleep long after the bosuns whis-
tie has shrilled on the gun deck.
Aside from the big dinner on Christ
mas, there probably will be no set
functions, no minstrel shows. boxing
contests or theatricals. The trouble
with any such programs will be the
absence on furlough of the indlspen-
sable end man or the popular tenor
The night before Christmas the popu.
lar streets will be filled with sailors In
their wide trousers and their high col
Jared pea jackets.
When they get enough of feasting or
acting or singing inside the steel Gov
cred hull there is the open sea on
which they row or sail for prizes, some
times competing among themselves,
sometimes racing against the men of
another vessel from home or against
the crew Of vessel from another coun-
try. Added to. all these possibilities of
diversion there is often the trip ashore,

PICTURE OF HUGHES.

The New York World, which once
was outspoken in its admiration for
Mr.. Hughes, now declares that the
people do not know where Hughes
stands, or what he stands Tor. This
Wilson organ had no such criticism
to make when Mr.. Hughes was gov
ernor. The World said on May II,
1910: HE dictated no nominations,
controlled no convention, traficked in
no patronage, made no bargains with
off1ceholders. He has rewarded no.
body for supporting him and punished
nobody for opposing him. What in
huence he has welded over public
opinion has come through his appeals
to the voters themselves" That Is
the estimate Of Mr.. Hughes given by
the World six years ago. 1t is a
pretty, fair letter Of recommendation.
Could the World say as much for
President Wilson? Hardly, for the
president has done all of the things
from which the World absolved
Hughes.-Kansas City Journal.

The President himself has tried to-
appropriate for his own advantage
the sentiment Of America first" The
Democrats have tried to make his sup
port an act Of .piety, by adopting
'"Thank God for Wilson," as a slogan;
Mr.. Hughes, with rare courage, frank
ness and penetration, is: exposing the
himsy fftoe!u ndatioq,, for the claims of
Wilsonian infallibility. He is laying
bare a. record Of, extravaganza, parti-
sanship, sectionalism,' Incompetence,
wrongheadedness, vaccillation and in
sincerity which destroys the attempt
to make a.ajoss out Of the President.
The Democrats must come out Of their
ecstatic trance and defend their stew
ardship.,,.Th President is to be put
on the stump. We are to hear some
thing beside Delphic prose POEMS

BY Theodore Roosevelt,

q BY Theodore Roosevelt.
Z Under President Mckinley we
had a war with Spain. Under
President Wilson weyare assured
that we have had "peace" with
Mexico. These are the: words.
Now for the deeds, During the
war with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by the Spaniards
than have been killed by Mexi-
cans during the present. "peace".@
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number Of Amer
leans have =; been, killed by
Mexicans during these years,
when 1--WE are officially informed
that we have been at peace with
them, than were killed by the
Spaniards during our entire war
with Spain, Moreover when the
war with Spain was through, it
was through. But peace still con-
tinues to rage as furiously as
ever in Mexico. Nor is this
i'll. The instant effect of the
outcome of the war with Spain
was to put a stop to the dread
full butchery and starvation in
Cuba and the Philippines, and
the entry Of both Cuba and the
Philippines on a career of eight
cen years of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before in all their check, .
cred history. But during these
three years of Mr.. Wilson's
"peace,"n the Mexicans them i,
selves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and
without intermission; and Next
can women and children have
died by thousands probably by
scores Of thousands starva-
ton, and of the diseases incident
to starvation. In other. words,
Mr.. McKinley's war cost less
peace, and it reflected high hon
or on the American people;
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been one of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and one of ruin and bloodshed
for the Mexicans.

The WEALTH THAT
TAMPA FAILS To
GET EACH YEAR

In the Tampa Tribune of Friday the
much mooted question of a market
where farmers could come and dispose
o; their products was brought forcibly
TO the attention of the merchants as
sociation, as follows:
That Tampa is passing up more than
100000 worth of trade annually be-
cause it refuses to make it attractive
for Hillsboro county farmers, is the
| statement made at the Merchants as
sociation's booster luncheon at the
DeSoto hotel last night. eff you made
any provision to attract the farmers
here to sell their products, you would
get a large slice of this money, which
is being spent in Plant City and with
p,ail order houses, principally the lat
ter" said Frank Brandon, who for
merly was a merchant here but who
is now a farmer near Brandon.
Br. Brandon pointed out that a city
market, or if hard up right now just a
vacant block to which the farmers
could bring their produce and offer it
for sale, would soon bring the farmers
into Tampa regularly. With them they
would bring some of that $4,394 ,5O7
which, according to United States de-
partment of agriculture statistics, is
paid to Hillsborough county farmers
every year for their farm, dairy and
stock products,

SHOULD
SHARE IN COST
] OF PUBLIC ROADS

F. Washington, D. c., Nov. ia con-
.spicuous example of what happens to
county roads when a city, the center
of heavy automobile traffic, fails to
contribute toward the building and
maintenance of county roads, is found
in Spotsylvania county, Va, according
to specialists in road economics of the
U. S. department of agriculture.
The country districts of Spotsylva-
mia county some years ago issued
$170,000' of AZ and per cent bonds
to improve their county roads. Under
the Virginia law, the cities of the
state are not taxed for county purpos-
es, although they may aid in the i'm
provement of roads for a distance Of
lG miles from the city limits if the
city council so elects. The city of
Fredericksburg, in Spotsylvania coun-
ty, however, contributed no part 10
the financial burden of maintaining
the county roads. The heavy automc-
bile traffic emanating from that point
has proved to be a very destructive
element to the county road system,
and it was found that rapid deteriora-
tion was taking place in the county
roads, and insufficient funds existed
with which to meet the situation. The
county authorities, accordingly, estab-
lished toll gates on the principal roads
and sufficient revenue was thus deriv-
ed, not only to maintain the roads but
actually to extend their construction
short distance. This reversion to a
system long since abolished by most
countries was partially due at least
to the fact that the city in this county
had contributed nothing to the upkeep
Of the roads which residents of the
city use extensively for automobiles.
The writer's of the report suggest, in
view of the very rapid development Of
Rotor vehicles in the past decade and
the prospects of much more wide
spread use of this means of transpor-
tation in the future, the desirability Of
making provisions so that the cities
may aid in the construction and main
tenance of roads in the surrounding
territory. .'

The interior of the mine shows in teresting ore reserves At one point the company has opened up seven feet of shipping ore.
