A CHRISTMAS GREETING.
we shall rejoice If you are glad,
And we shall weep II you are sad;
No ouch Of pain can come to you
But what our hearts must feel it
And SO we ask of God tonight
That He shall make your burdens
And SO protect you that you may
Find happiness this Christmas. Day.
We have but feeble gifts to give
TO smooth your way the while you
live;
We cannot stay the bitter tears
That fill your eyes when grief ap-
Nor change nor stop the cruel blow
That steals your joy and hurts you
so;
We can but pray to God. above
To help you with His boundless love.
Yet IL our will could rule on earth,
No grief should ever check your
mirth;
Your fondest dreams should all come
true
And 10Y and peace abide with you.
And so this Christmas-tin1e we pray
THAT God shall grant from day to
Those joys to grace the life you live
Which only He has power to give.

SETTLEMENT BY AGREEMENT.

In the presidents letter TO his ap-
pointees on the new coal commission,
an outline is given Of the proceedings
In relation to the subject up to date.
Mention is made of the various steps
taken by the government and it's
agents and the reception with which
these met. One feature which seems
to be important is overlooked. name
~, the increase in wages granted to
the miners while the investigation was
under way. The president refers to
the letter in which the miners were
urged to accept this increase Tempo
rarily, and return to work, but no
mention is made Of hat offer itself.
Therefore, the reader who had not
been aware of the form Of the for
mer communication would be left
with the impression that the miners
returned to work simply in response
to an appeal to their patriotism and
in Difference to the law Of the land.
This is the impression which It is
very evident Attorney General Palmer
wishes to have created. He has de-
scribed the cessation Of the strike as
a victory for the government, has de-
MED h q it was q settlement, and has
asserted in just about SO many words
that the miners returned to work
simply because the government re-
CURED them to do so.
The fact is that the offer of a Il
per cent increase in wages was
Of the important features in the pro-
ceedings, and the president himself in
his letter to the miners emphasized
that increase, and pointed out that
under it the miners would return to
work with their conditions substan-
TALLY bettered, and with their inter-
ests ip all respects protected. The at
tttude Of the government was most
decidedly neither that of ordering
the men back to work, nor Of request
ing them to go AS law-abiding citi-
Gems. They were requested to return
in fact were urged to return, and the
IA per cent increase vas held I'D to
them and dangled before them as one
OF the reasons why they could afford
to return. and that fact must not be
lost sight OF by any one who wishes
to judge the situation fairly and
squarely.

PRICE NOT FOR A BOOK.

Lovers of books for what is in them
rather than for what they are feel a
sort of irritation when they read, as
they did about the payment of what.
when exchange was normal, would
have been $4,000 for a little volume
the only merit of which is that no
other copy Of the same edition is
known to be in existence. There are
nobody knows how many thousand
other editions of the same work, all
OF them as good or better than this
one, in the eyes of the reader as dis
tinguished from the collector, and
most of them can be bought any day
and anywhere for a dollar or two.
The collector, however, has a AREA:
son for being, and he serves several
innocent and ever useful
His only, or chief, fault is that he
claims-and too often the claim is ad-
mitted-to be a lover of books. and to
have a relation to literature. In real
ity. it is not books that interest him,
but irrelevant things like dates and
bindings and associations with de-
parted greatness. In other words he
is a curio hunter. and what he calls
his library" is a museum where the
reading man finds next to nothing
that he wants-nothing at all that he

The Hague, Dec. 4.-Trade confer
ences between bankers, merchants
and statesmen of the Entente coun-
tries and central powers have sue
ceeded the mysterious gatherings Of
spies in the hotels here and at AM

and sealing wax of commerce are the
topics instead Of the routes of sub
marines. troop ships and food ships.
Whatever may be the opinion in
America, Or England. or France, re-
garding resumption Of business with
Germany and Austria, the repre-
sentatiyes Of the business concerns Of
those countries show nothing but q
keen desire for such trade at the
conferences here.
The other day, at one of the Hague
hotels the groups seated in the lob
by, engaged in earnest conversation
on trade subjects, included:
One-English ship owner and d.
rector of one Of Germany's biggest
transatlantic lines;
Two-Belgian banker and German

Three-American travelling sales

PEACE

Although no definite action a
been taken in the senate up to- the
holiday recess looking toward a final
solution of the problems involved in a
consideration of the peace treaty, 1t
seems that a little actual progress has
been made. For one ching, 1t appears
to nave been rather definitely decid-
cd that no further attempt will be
made to press to a vote the proposal
for a declaration OF a state Of peace
by the two houses of congress, re-
gardless of the president. The form
which the resolution has now taken
provides for a declaration of a state
Of peace by the two houses of con-
gress and the president, and it is un-
derstood that this means the aban-
donnent of my attempt to secure &C
ton by congress alone. This, in it,
self, seems to mark some gain as it
remove the possibility Of an exceed
ingly unpleasant clash between con-
gress and the president. A declara-
have been ignored by the president,
and there exist no means whereby It
could be carried into effect. The pas
sage Of such a resolution therefore
would be fruitless, except that 1t
would further embitter a situation
already too strongly characterized by
bitterness.
In relation to the conditions Of the
peace treaty itself, only tentative
moves have been made. Senator
Underwood has proposed the crea-
ton of = committee Of ter senators
to devise q method Of compromise
such as will be fairly acceptable to
two-thtrds of the senate members
That resolution goes over, and there
In nothing as yet to indicate the at
titude Of the various factions with re-
lation to it except that the mild res
e~rvationiets are reported I regard it
with favor. On the face of it the pro-
posal looks promising. 1t is true that
1t would take the subject out Of the
hands Of the foreign relations COM
mittee, and objection may be made
to It on that ground. but the foreign
relations committee a been too
closely identified with the contro-
vorsial aspects Of the subject to per-
nit much hope to be obtained Of an
effective compromise proposal COM
Ing from that quarter.
The subject goes over until the new
year therefore, with me element of
friction, namely Independent action
by congress- practically out of the
way, and with an effort under way to
arrive ut something in the nature of
q real compromise. It is to he re-
8retted that there is no indication of
work.
