ing these false charges as the gospel
truth.
While Mr.. Ryan was doing what he
could to help the country win the war,
Wheeler was United States district
attorney for Montana. In certain
places the state seethed with sedition
and disloyalty. 1t was Wheeler's
sworn duty to bring enemies of the
nation to brook. He was VIGOROUSLY
slack in this duty. The stencil of his
indifference finally became SO great
that it reached a high place in Wash
ington, and he was told to resign or
be kicked out. He resigned under fire.
1t ccurs to this newspaper that
Wheeler should first put his own house
in order before attacking anyone.
There is a wide gulf between his mis-
cradle war record and that of John
D. Ryan.

The other evening in the lobby of
the Placer at Helena, a stranger drop
ped a quart of "born with the Repub-
lie and bottled in bond" upon the I'M
sympathetic concrete floor. The
stranger did a double time for the
side entrance while strong men about
the lobby who had won citations and
loving cups at various marathon drink
ing contests in the past, lowered near
the scene of the wreck and shed a
tear. We can't sympathize with the
man. Anyone who has that much
whiskey should carry it in a steel con-

B. K. Wheeler, who is running up

on John D. Ryan, who has done as
much for Montana as any man within
the states confines. Mr.. Ryan, dur

PLANETS LINE WITH SUN
IN INISuAL. CONHINCTIO

IN UNUSUAL CONJUNCTION
The following article from the Pop
ular Mechanics magazine relative to
the peculiar alignment of the plan
cts commencing on December 18th
should dispel the fears of many of the
dire results and calamities predicted
for those dates. The time for the
"end of the world" has passed but any
expectation of it's postponement may
we'll be forgotten.
"The mechanism Of the solar sys-
TEN is set for strange action on De-
cember II, 1919. On that date the
great planet Jupiter, red Mars, Venus,
Saturn, little Mercury, and the re-
mote Neptune all will range them
selves in line between the sun and
earth, while Uranus will continue the
vast series on the opposite side of the
sun. Many old-time superstitutions
have been revived by this unusual con-
junction, and alarmists have even ap-
pealed to modern science to support
the theory that the combination
threatens to produce a huge sun spot
and cause electromagnetic disturban-
ces on the earth. Astronomers, how
ever--as pointed out by the January
Popular Mechanics magazine-state
that there is no connection between
planetary attraction and sun spots,
and that the earth jewellers will re-
main physically W Of the ce-
lestial combination"

CHRISTMAS BELLS.

Hank! Hank! l hear a distant bell,
And 10Y a chime-they softly ring;
What joyful tidings do they tell
AS back and forth they swing.
IT'S mid of night-who rings those
bells?
Perhaps some doves there nesting,
And while each little blossom swells,
And warm, they touch with gentle
wing
The tuneful metal, and it feels
So incubated it would swing
To life, and wake the world with peals
Of gladness as for n~ew-crowned
king.
Those midnight bells, how sweet they
chime;
The welkin vibrates with their
sound;
To hearts attune they are sublime,
Nor spread they dread alarm
around.
Lo! now | see from East afar
A light shines through the steeple's
frame.
IT'S brighter than the brightest star,
1t gilds the bells with golden flame;
There, too, I see some cherubs cling
Fasthold the ropes. How fair they
They swing the bells and sweetly sing
"This is the Christ's nativity"
Wake every heart, join in their song
Of praise to Christ, our newborn
king;
To him our sweetest strains belong,
And his, our richest offering.
When wakes the god of day, and
shines
Athwart the heavens, what of glee
Will wake as we'll? With box and
pines
And flowers gay, yon house will be
Adorned, and while the anthem swells
With organs voice, all Christendom
Will vibrant be as are those bells
That Christ's nativity has come.

It's joy of giving, song and mirth
To gladden. all the hearts of earth,
And once more celebrate the birth

Danish all gloom and doubt away!

Aye! the star rains its fire
While the beautiful sing,
For the manager of Bethlehem
Cradles a king!
In the light of that star
Lie the ages impaired,
And that sang from afar
Has swept DER the world.
Every hearth is aflame,
And the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations.
That Jesus is King!
We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly throng.
Aye, we shout to the lovely
Evangel they bring,
And we greet in his cradle
Our Savior and King.

Once more the heavens bend propitious; the throne
of heaven touches the manger, angels wings brush the
shepherds mantes, and men of the field hold converse
with celestial inteligences. Inspired prophets and God
visioned seers had foretold the coming of the Lord Jesus.
Law-givers had framed their codes and constitutions on
song of peace and>good will to a troubled world! O Prince
eighty of his will and the universally of his dominion.
kings had founded governments, decreed judgment, and
ruled the people in his name. But when he comes, the
heralds announce his advent not to prophets, lawgivers,
poets, priests, or kings, but to humble shepherds of the
field, to the hearty sons of toll, to the lowly representa-
tives of the common people. Was this announcement to
The shepherds prophetic of that day when it should be
said of Christ's ministry to men, "The common people
heard him gladly?'
Jesus is the JOY Bringer of the universe! 81 bring
you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all peo-
pie" Where He truly comes sin and evil of all sorts van
lsh. His presence makes greed and graft, s%elfishness and
hatred, strife and wars impossible. A little thought will
clearly show that the best things in the world-mercy
and pity, love and peace, kindness and brotherliness, these
and such as these are directly the outcome of His teach
ing and living. HE went about doing good"
Jesus was a Visitor from another world. AS we look
into the Towering wonder of the angelic message, and in

derstand that it could have had no other than a heavenly
origin. Those words did not belong to the language of the
