Ella A. Tanning, In New York Times
In former times, as Christmas neared,
was content with gifts that cheered
The little few / called my friends,
Whose thought to life its sweetness lends,
Or those who nearest, dearest are,
Beneath the glowing, mild Home Star.
For these / planned, provincial fond,
Unbound. nor ever looked beyond.
My household circle. narrow street,
Ny native town, 1t seemed but meet
In these should center Yuletide joys,
The needs of friends I long to cheer
New kin of mine, this Christmas year!
And ! would own the tabled gold
Now / look out across the world.
My snail-soul from its shell uncurled!
Far from the wider world Of noise.
Each year like other years before,
The circle narrowing, narrowing more
Gift-giving. dull, perfunctory, slow,
A habit listless. a mere show
mourn, as sadly / rehearse
That Midas stored in days of old!
That unknown kin Of mine may live.
What matters race or skin or creed?
The Limitations Of my purse
Suffice It, comfort millions need!
The barriers are broken down;
And earn my cheer on Christmas day.
No more l count my street. my town,
By gifts sent to the Parkway!
But of my scanty means I give

Woman's Place In the War.

"A bit Of breeze, famed by woman's wits,
has just swept through the British War office
and occasoned quite commotion among the
"higher ups" Of the general staff. No especial
importance attaches to the incident save as it
shows that woman's place in war is not confined
to mnstrations in the hospitals, nor to visits to
the trenches as correspondent or curiosity seeker
The present scandal in the British army is illus
trative Of the influence women have always
welded in British politics. Mrs Corvallis
West is not the first to rledde in administrative
affairs nor will she be the last She is but fol-
lowing precedent long established The case
Of Helen, whose face Launched thousand ships
and burned the toplcss towers OF Illium,' is still
remembered, not to speak of Cleopatra Sgrid,
Fair Rosamond and others whose names adorn
Clos record OF mans doings.
A darker scandal than could be made of the
mere appointment OF second lieutenant or the
advancement of regimenai officer in the field
has been limited at, Part Of the reason for the
upheaval in the British imperial cabinet is al
legged to be due to woman's presence in high and
secret circles of the government But Herbert
Asquith is not the first premier to trip over a
womans tiny foot The British public will have
plenty to talk OF when the books are opened
and all the pressure of censorship is removed

What Wooster Would Do.

Silver Creek, Neb.. Jan. 4.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Heretofore the
farmers of Nebraska, like silly sheep,
have patiently submitted to being
sheared with only an occasional kick
or a bleat: the time has now fully
come for them to fight
Heretofore the farmers have not
been organized and could not fight, or
II they were to some extent organized
their efforts have been misdirected;
now, with the Grange, the Farmers
union, hundreds of elevator and ship
ping associations, farmers clubs and
Other farmers organizations. they are,
ofSare fast becoming, thoroughly or
ganized and in a position to make their
power felt.
But what do the farmers want? For
forty-five years l have been a Ne
braska farmer; there is not only hay
seed in my hair. but it is under my
shirt collar and sits down my back
and / know some things that the
farmers don't want and at least one
or two things that they do want.
The farmers of Nebraska do not
want so-called improved" or hard
surfaced roads; they do not want any
state highway commission with gen.
eral power over their roads, nor do
they want such power in the hands of
the secretary of agriculture at Wash
ington, where the present federal road
law would place it; they do not want
the legislature to make any appro-
priation, or to do any other thing by
way of meeting the requirements OF
the federal road law, They are against
the federal road law tooth and toe
nail. The farmers do want their dirt
roads in their own power as they now
have them; they are of the opinion
that we now have good road laws and
want no radical changes in them, but
only such minor amendments as may
be needed to make them more work
able, and they would very much ap-
preciate being let alone for season.
II hard-surfaced roads increase the
value of land as much as the automo-
bile-Commercial club aggregation say
they will, then renters and men of
comparatively small means in the
cities and towns who wish or hope
some time to own at least few acres
of Gods green earth, should be against
such roads, for the higher priced is the
land the harder for them to get 1t,
Nearly half the. members of the leg
islature this winter at Lincoln are
farmers. They should stand together
like an ancient Grecian phalanx
against the cormorants, vampires and
bloodsuckers who would despoil them.
But if these members will not thus
protect their farmer constituents, then
the farmers must undertake to pro-
tect themselves against the obnoxious
legislation by invoking the referen-
dunn.
The federal road law Is plainly I'M
constitutional, like several other acts
of congress; it is gross invasion of
the reserved power of the states and
ought to be set aside. The legislature
ought to undertake to see that this is
done, but if the legislature will not,
then the farmers should do so them
selves by employing competent law
yers and attacking it in both state and
federal courts.
If pressed too far, the farmers of
Nebraska are very likely to do in 1918
what the farmers of North Dakota
did last fall, namely, take possession
of the whole state government from
governor down.
