before he came to st. Louis and
killed the man who had befriend

of taking flowers to the criminal

Louis Jail and the maudling sem

over the fake, is yet in the minds
of the better class of people all
over the state.
He was sentenced to be hang

Gov. Folk, verifying the adage
that while there's life, there is
hope" even to escaping the just
punishment for the most heinous
crimes. Darlington should have
been hanged, drawn and quarter

If the upper and middle class

war which will add to their op-
portunitles for living fat off the
element of the world, they had
best take another glance at the
steady gaze of labor organiza-
tions on every move they make,
for as sure as men who have
sweat from childhood to hoary
age and industrious mothers
have borne children to fill depict
ing ranks of labor, whether as
producers or the hirelings of pro-
ducers, to see day after day and
year in and year out, their earn
Ings filter into the Golfers of
prutiteers, have reached the time
when they will tolerate it no
longer. That they will have a
perfect right to resist any ar
rangem-nt which will leave con-
dltlons as they were before the
war, much less increase the op-
portunities of profteers, is
patent from the declared
purposes of our entry in
the war, labor giving its best
men and working over time to
win. Sure, democracy does not

The First Christmas

And there were in the country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch their flock
by night.
And, 10, the angel of the Lord came upon them
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them;
and they afraid.
And the angel said unto them fear not; for
behold, bring you good tdings of great joy which
shall be to all people
For unto you is born this day in the city of
David Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be sign unto YOU Ye shall find
the babe wrapped in swadding Clothes lying in
manger.
And suddenly thele was with the angel multi
tude of heavenly host pralsing God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace.
good will toward men.
And it to pass the angels gone
away from them into heaven, the shepherds said
to another: Let US now go unto Bethlehem, and
this thing which is CONE pass which the Lord
hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste and found Mary, and
Joseph. and the babe lying in manger
And when they had seen it, they made known
abroad the saying which was told them concerning
the child
And all they that heard it wondered at those
things which told them by the Shepherds
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered
them in her heart
And the shepherds returned, gorifying and
prasng God for all the things that they had heard
and seen as it was t Id unto them.

Publicity Question

VIC ~ liIG HI IIi' loouC l lCilIdi No
by Lord NOrthcIiff4 on the sub.
ject of the Peace Conference. If
he does not voice the sentiments
expressed by president Wilson
soon after it became apparent
that we would win the war, then
we do not know what repeating
what another has said can con-
sist of.
! On all hands now since the lib
erty of the press has to degree
been restored, there is expecta.
ton that not only the truth
about what is going on will be
given to the public, but right
along as events progress. 1t is
inconceivabIe that the delegates
or leading heads of the confer
ence will proceed to anywhere
near the binding point in the
formation of a league without
having first discovered the views
of their people. The joining in
any kind Cf an alliance with any
other nation or nations is so re.
pugnant to our constitution and
] principles of just peace to re
suit from the winning Uf the war
and we may add. to American
sentiment generally, that flat re.
lection of any such arrangement
might instantly take place. But
wild guesses of what the presi-
dent will do have been flashed
across the waters and conjec-
lures by the same men in this
country who have arrogated to
themselves the right to formu-
late the polices of the govern
ment before CUR entry into the
war, the clearess conception of
how to win and the only sane
settlement of reconstruction and
few If any, in the whole country
know what president Wilson has

macy on the seas; that France

principally supplied by Big BusI-
ness supported by The League,
are inferences to be drawn from
what is put out, doubtless as
feelers but the fixed purposes of
the the allies and those nations
forced to agree with them.
If these conditions are reaH-
ties, do they suit US, and if
they or any of them do not,
what are we goingto do about?
May it not be possible that
some of the allies are not only
interested but also instigaters of
the revolutions in Germany and
