o LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM


l. o little town or Bethlehem.
How still We see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sIeep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The Everlasting Light.
The hopes and fears OF all the year,
Are met in thee tonight.
Chorus
o the joy notes OF Christmas arc
thus ever new,
And that first heavenly brightness
the ages shines through
In each heart may this radiance
all darkness dispel
bringing JOY that is greater than
tongue can tell.
.. For Christ is born OF Mary
And gathered all above, =
Whilo mortals sleep. the angels keep
Their watch OF wondering love
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth.
O holy Child OF Bethlehem!
Descend to us. we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in:
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The grolt glad tdings tell;
Q come to us abide with us.
Our Lord lm-man-u-el!

 = ing soldiers and sailors into their organlza- tion in Phoenix. They were wise, since if they have any grievances against the war depart ment, they could not make much headway by coupling up with an organization who stayed at home to stir up trouble. Any regular organi- zation of soldiers and sailors will make them selves heard in this land among all classes They will be able to make themselves felt, but tang ling up with an element which has no sympathy with them nor the sacrifices they made, an e- ement who would rather tear down than to help the very cause the soldiers and sailors fought for, would be disgrace to the uni form, re- fection on their intelligence and greatly lessen their influence with the whole people, who now sincerely believe that "our boys" deserve the best the country can give them. There is no question but soon a national organization of Soldiers and Sailors of the Greatest War of the World, will come into being, with national in- fluence and it would be stain on the name ot the boys at this early date, to loan their good name to that of the wobbly, to help them repro duce in America the bloody scenes of murder, rapine, wreckage and woe that are now staged in Russia What would the lives and suffer1ngs of our boys amount to if they now loan them selves to the schemes of this outlawed bunch?

MEAT PACKING PATRIOTS

The great meat packers of the country do need any penny ante protection from patent medicine publication so long as they can keep up front at Washington. Allow them to gath CT and store the produce of the country and fix the prices and they will get along fairly well, in fact, according to recent accounts, they only made AT per cent on their investment last year, along with their patriotic" help to the govern ment in being right on hand to furnish supplies for overseas and elsewhere. It is a shame to abuse these patriots" when all in the world they do is to keep the prices on hoof down and store their product in refrigerators for several years if necessary to make the money they charge. It may be legitimate game under ex- isting conditions, but it is difficult for reason able being to work up much enthusiasm over their patriotism"

SOLDIERS UNIFORMS.
CONGRESS recently adopted conference re N mort aIlowinU discharped soldiers to retail

CONGRESS recently adopted conference re- | port allowing discharged soldiers to retain - their uniforms. What on earth ever brought about the order of the war department requiring discharged soldiers to turn in their un- iforms within three months is more than any reasoning person can make out. Returned uni forms would only be condemned and destroyed if the war department continues its old practice. The soldier out of his meager pay is compelled to fit himself out with civilian clothes at his own expense his uniform was badge of honor to the soldier and but condemned junk to the war de- partment. The conscientious objector", who re- fused to serve his country, given his full pay and new suit of clothes when he was ''honora- bly," discharged from the federal prison at Leavenworth.

Calling democrat who voted against Hunt "a pinto democrat" should be regarded as an honor They voted to clean out the barnacles, drift wood and dead wood which had accumu- lated for several years; it wasn't so much poli- tics as it was good common sense to start a new deal with the hope that there would be some recognition of brains and ability, rather than a pap counter for the wobblies and others who felt the state owed them living Whatever else may have been said of Hunt, he was true to his friends.

With three million dollars worth of commodi- ties of foreign production entering our markets yearly under the operation of tariff law de- vised to foster alien as opposed to home industry, the democratic politicians pretend to be surprised because our failure to make this stuff at home is liable to restore the conditions of unemployment which prevailed in this country under the exist ing tariff law before the war began.

A REAL BAKER IDEA.
\ SOLDIER recently home from France made N rannark when he heard of Secretary Rak=

\ SOLDIER recently home from France made
 A remark, when he heard of Secretary Bak- CTS instructions to keep soldiers in the ar- my until industrial troubles were more settled 'Tt's enough to make bolshivik out of a sol dier who has been receiving $30 per month from the government, when he got it, to be kept in service while men in the shipyards, who have been getting all the way from $7 to $10 per day for the past year, were striking for increased pay. The soldier sacrificed his pay, comfort and offered his life for $30 per month, yet he is the goat who must be kept in service until these shipyard profiteers are fully satisfied Many of the boys gave up good jobs and would be willing to do it again if they have to, but the idea of keeping them on the job while the fellows who stayed at home are striking for more pay, does not set very well on the underfed stomach of the average returned soldier"

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

THERE ARE very few people on earth but
 favor the league of nations idea. The idea
 is correct and it grew. from the meager start formulated at The Hague. However the great minds of the country should be responsible for the important details which go to make up the ground work of the great league. The great war has led the way for better understanding among the peoples of the earth and there is reason to believe that such league may become a fact and a success. The trouble in the average mans mind at present, why all the secrecy and mysteriousness of President Wilson? The idea is not original with President Wilson; it has been the dream of many people for years. The pres ident urges that Germany may get unruy. We'll, if Germany had been given fourteen more weeks" of being treated rough by the American army, instead of the Fourteen points," there would not have been even the necessity of this mere threat. If President Wilson can not take the people and congress into his confidence, what is behind it all? -'l

The present national administration has hoisted the express rates, jacked up the postage rates, elevated the telephone charges, lifted the freight and passenger rates about hundred per cent, swelled the cost of government and the cost of living to unbelievable figures and in creased the federal payroll by the addition of nearly three hundred thousand names. We'll, didn't they tell us they were uplifters?

In view of the fact that the state corpora tion commission has been questioned and it's members assailed by certain newspaper, the said commission has "whereased" the senate and house of representatives to appoint a com- mittee to investigate them. It would appear that with the number of people that are being stung with oil stocks and the like, the "blue sky law and the corporation commission were not working to such purpose.
