The editor Of the Republican needs
to adjust his glasses or change
his drinks as he says "it was
a bit ungracious" for us to not
predict the election Of Judge

another look he will see the name of
one of the best qualified men who
ever come before the people Of Ohio
county. asking an endorsement as
their legal advisor, and we don't be-
lieve the voters will overlook this
fact in November, either.

'Tis said that a great many good

injected into the recent campaigns.
Tammany's triumph was party tri-
umph. The Presidents name, with his
knowledge and consent, was used, though
without success, by his party friends In
both Massachusetts and Kentucky.
Democratic stumpers, finding themselves
in straits and facing defeat, asked for
votes to sustain the party's leader in the
White House.
With partisanship factor, the work
Of Congress will be heightened in spirit
and maybe increased In volume. While
in the matter Of the war both parties
will have common aim, they may diff
for at times radically as to the best
means of accomplishing it. As to other
matters. and especially those upon which
the two parties are accustomed to d.
vide, divisions this time may be sharper
than usual as the result of the war
The Speaker says nothing this time
about the Christmas holidays. Presum-
ably, however, he is still in favor Of
setting them aside for business. The
tive weeks, coming almost at the be-
ginning of the session, could be used
to excellent business advantage, and
Congress when it assemblies may think
the proposition over.

Mix Permits,

uads1 yesterdays decision Of the Dis
G1st Court Of Appeals the health officer
3 empowered to grant permits to deal
srs through which alone they can bring
milk into and sell milk in Washington.
This settles the question that has been
in dispute for soma time and greatly
strengthens the Districts safeguards
against disease through impure milk
The court now holds that the law of
1895 forbidding importation Of milk
without license was not repealed by
the pure food act Of 1906 and that there
was no conflict between the statutes. It
confirms the health officers authority to
refuse permits to producers and dealers
in cases where insanitary conditions ex-
ist and to impose penalty upon those
who undertake to ship into Washington
or to vend hero milk from other than
licensed sources. With this decision it
will be possible to safeguard the public
health from contamination through milk.
At this time, when there is an excep-
tionai amount Of infectious disease
among children, the courts action is to
be welcomed with gratitude for the pros
peet Of protection which it affords.

For Useful Christmas Gifts.

It is proposed to renew the effort to
prevent the making of useless Christ
mas gifts which a few years ago was
in evidence in this country. 1t de-
serves to be supported by everybody.
Now as never before in the national
history there is need Of practical econ
omy Christmas is Of course, to be OBJ
served in the spirit In which the occa
sion has been celebrated for centuries,
spirit of kindness and charity and
remembrance Gifts are to be exchanged
in token of the day, as an expression Of
affection and esteem. But there is no
warrant for making useless gifts, that
are of no value and that make neces-
sary an immense expenditure without
real service resulting. The Society for
the Prevention Of Useless Giving should
include in its mem bership everybody
who realizes the nature of the crisis
with which the nation is faced, the ur-
gency Of the country's financial require
ments, the need Of the strictest economy
in all matters. It is not desirable to
curtain Christmas giving for the nero
saving Of money, but Christmas gifts
should become practical, useful things
and not mere ornaments or trifes Of no
real value or advantage. To be "spug"
is to be one intent upon making every
dollar work helpfully at this time Of
great national need
