REPUBLICANS MAKE GOOD START

The reports coming from the meet
ing of the Republican National Com
mittee at Washington this week, are
very inspiring and encouraging. The
spirit of harmony which seemed to
prevail argues we'll for the outcome
next year; and we hope that no blund-
er on the part of the party managers
will cause the loss of the advantage
the excellent start that has been made.
The selection of Chicago as the con-
vention city was the proper thing to
do, as it has advantages which sur
pass any that may be claimed for
other cities. Now, if in the make up
of the various auxiliary committees,
no Jim crow ideas are injected and
the members are chosen from among
100 per cent Americans without re-
gard to race, nationality, color or
creed, we can see no reason why VIC
tory should not perch upon our ban
ners in 1920.

CODE OF HONORABLE NAMES,

Recently valued exchange con-
tanned the following:
My name for every true man in
these United States will be the hon
orable name of american"
My reference to all new Ameri-
cans born in other lands shall never
be dishonored by slurs, nicknames or
hyphens.
My purpose shall be to discourage
in the native born the love for titles,
to help every immigrant to forget his
hyphen and be proud of the name
American and to stamp out the use of
such nicknames as words of derision
Of the foreign-born.
We pledge our service never to use,
and to discourage everywhere, the use
of such words as Dago, Dutchy,
Froggy, Ginny, Greaser, Heiny, Hor.
wat, Hunky, Hike, Mick, Paddy
Sheny, Spaghetti, Wop, as applied to
any foreign-born resident of the
United States of America
With all Of which we heartily agree,
but we would have been much better
pleased if the list had included some
of the nicknames that are so frequent
ly applied to a class of native born
100 per cent Americans, viz: i" Negro,
niger, darkey, coon, shine, moke,
dingy, pickaninny, etc., and as alb
noxious as those named are to the
class to which they are applied.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

a MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
The observance of Christmas as the
day of the birth of the Savior is by
common consent, a pleasing and profit
able custom, and it. is moreover, the
one thing in which Christians of all
denominations, with but few excep-
tons, actually concur. In almost
every other particular, creed, doc
trine, rites and ceremonies, there is
almost infinite diversity of opinion and
practice; in regard to the propriety
of making the alleged day of our
Savior's birth, holiday, there is sub
stantial unity and, by some means or
other, the birth of Christ has been so
impressed upon the worlds customs
and manners, that every event in it's
history, social, governmental and per-
sonal, must necessarily, be connected
with that important event as the orbs
of the solar system are with the great
luminary. Thus Christ is the light of
the world, and all our affairs are con-
nected with Him as the planets are
bound to the sun by the law Of gravita-
ton. In every letter we write, every
deed we execute, every item Of bust
ness we transact, custom has made
it necessary and unavoidable that we
should connect the transaction with
the truth of Christ. And it is a sig
nificant fact that the nations that thus
recognize the Savior, in even an in
cidental manner, are those most ad-
vanced in intelligence and civilization
those that are most powerful and
prosperous, those that really govern
the world. The nations that celebrate
the 25th of December and that desig-
nate the present year as 1919 are the
favored ones Of the world That such
is the case can be attributed to no
other cause than Christianity, of which
Christmas is the emblem. ) -.

CHRISTMAS. 5...@&

and unrest; and, this time we have
heard of one woman committing sui
eide to escape the horrible calamity,
thus ending the world so far as she
was concerned In connection with
the failure of the world to shuttle off
a rhymester gets off the following:
Said college professor named Porta:
''The world didn't, but it orta,
For you've gotta admit -.

You're in luck to get now for a.quarta.' -

cause the southern members did not
want it.
There is a majority of members in
the present Congress- who are mem
bers' of the Republican party, the
party of Lincoln, Sumner, Phillips,
Roosevelt, etc., presumably advocates
of justice to all men, and the, most
faithful allies of that party had good
reason to expect justice at their
hands.
They did not get it and cannot for
get that fact.

ANOTHER FALSE ALARM.

- One Porta was responsible for the
issuance of an alarm stated in more
or less convincing terms that this old
world would wind up it's career last
Wednesday. Many times the date for
the end of the world has been pre-
dicted, but this mundane, sphere is
revolving on it's axis daily and still
doing business at the old stand. Each
time these predictions have been
made they have caused a lot of trouble
