Christmas-What 1t Is

"Glory to God in the highest. On
earth peace among men in whom He
is well pleased" thus sang the angels,
1919 years ago, st. Luke says, when
Jesus at Nazareth, in Palestine, was
born.
On the baptism of Jesus by John,
the spirit Of God descended as a dove,
Jesus in His teachings, said: "God is
a Spirit. They that worship must
worship in Spirit and in Truth"
To Abraham was first revealed
Jehovah, the n and true Spiritual
God, and he founded a large family,
a nation that has savored the earth
with that idea, with that Spiritual
God, who is pronounced the glver OF
Life, Truth, Love, and whom all
tribes and nations now acknowledge
and adore.
Jehovah inspired the mind of Moses
to make laws, Statutes, Ordinances
and Judgments for the rules of life
and the government of mankind.
Jesus, the man anointed with the
Spirit of God, said: 81 came to fulfil
the law" Matt. SIT. He showed
that the moral laws of God given by
Moses could be lived in the flesh.
Hence the word became flesh.
Not only the laws of Moses did He
live, but He said: "a new law | give
unto you, that We love one another"
Jesus went about living the law of
Love, doing good to all regardless of
social caste and race prejudice. What
He did and said became superior in
mind and morals to all other gods. He
was crucifed and suffered for His
goodness, because He interfered with
the old customs, social caste and graft
in religious doings. His life and say
ings were observed keenly, recorded
and studied. Showing that He did
live the laws of Moses and the phil
osophy of Love as expounded by Him
in His Sermon on the Mount, his phil
osophy of life was good. 1t wa pro-
nounced superior to that of all other
gods combined. Hence Jesus of MAJ
areth, the anointed by the Spirit of
Jehovah, was declared the Messiah,
the Christ, foretold by the Hebrew
prophets. Hence he was proclaimed,
God manifested in the flesh.
After many changes, December 25th
was set as the most probable date on
which Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ,
was born. The birth of such a good
man, the God, was born, has super
seeded the festivals of rejoicing of
other pagan and superstitious gods,
altho some of their customs. are con-
tinued.
Since Christianity is the common
law of this Nation, Christmas Day has
become a civil holiday, to commemo-
rate the birth of the man who lived
the laws of Moses, given by Jehovah,
the Spiritual God of the Jews, as
well as the giver of the law of Love
that all mankind are brethren.

Wilson Halls Open Diplomacy

A fuller knowledge of American in
situations is the cure of unrest in this
country, declares President Wilson in
a statement printed in the current
issue Of The Independent, as a fore
word to a number of articles by men
connected with the Government, in
Guiding Attorney General Palmer and
Herbert hoover. The statement fol-
lows:
"Men today are blessed with a new
curiosity about their Government.
Everywhere they are demanding that
the doors behind which secret policies
have been incubated be thrown open
and kept open henceforth. The doors
that do not respond to the keys the
people hold will be battered down and
free passageway erected in their stead.
"Autocratic Governments of the
past have lived by concealment; free
Governments must live by under
standing. In the new day that is
dawning only those Governments that
have no secrets from their peoples can
long endure. l do not say that such
a Government will make no mistakes,
but l do say mistakes will be fewer
and more easily corrected when all
Governments are guided by well-in-
formed public opinion.
unrest is evident everywhere thru
out the world. 1t is not of itself a
disease, bud a symptom of disease. In
our own country the disease lies prin-
cipally outside the Government. Those
who think otherwise are mostly the
newcomers and the men they have in
1uenced. The cure for their disquiet
is a fuller knowledge of American in
stitutions. In this nation the people
have in their ballots the instruments
of peaceful change.
"We can know if change is desirable
only by knowing all the facts about
the thing we wish to alter. The
journals that give the facts about
Government, it's policies and activities,
set down by the men principally re-
sponsible for them will perform a
public service. They will afford a
medium through which the Govern
ment can report continuously to the
people"

Cornell Faculty Urges Treaty Action

A petition signed by all of the
faculty of Cornell University urging
speedy ratification of the treaty of
peace was sent to Senators James w.
Wadsworth, Jr., and William M. Cal
der, at Washington.
Three-fourths of the faculty of Yale
University, at New Haven, Conn.,,
have signed a petition for the U. S:
Senate to adopt the Peace Treaty of
Versailles and show that America is
back of it to make Germany pay for
the war.
The New York Chamber of Com
merce has voted to urge the U. S.
Senate to approve the Peace Treaty.
Cleveland CO., Chamber of Com
merce has passed a resolution de-
manding that the Senators from
Ohio vote for the Peace Treaty. The
Chamber is communicating its actions
to other cities.

A Wonder Story of the Navy

Secretary Josephus Daniels annual
report is largely and most properly
taken up with a review of the opera
tions of the navy during the time of
its participation in the great war;.
This is a considerable subject. 1t
divides itself into many chapters and
spreads itself over a large expanse. of
the earth's waters and embraces such
a variety and magnitude of activities
as the American Navy lever before
experienced. But if only n of the
many achievements is to be selected.
for special comment we would, choose
that of bringing home across the At
lantic within less than thirteen months
from the signing of the armistice a
round 2,00O,0 900 American soldiers.
with equipment, nearly all in United
States transports manned. by the
navy, with schedule regularity and
"without the loss of a single life from
the hazards of the seal" Mo- parallel
to this performance can be found ex-
cept in transporting the same vast
army to Europe under the additional
and great hazards of submarine a
fare without the loss of a man
aboard a United States transport"
Even when immigration from
Europe was highest before the war,
nothing like such a number of persons
crossed the Atlantic within less than
thirteen months; and how many were
the years then when some large dis
aster did not stain the safety record
in transatlantic travelf
1t is an amazing. thing which Secre-
tary Daniels thus records among re-
markable accomplishments. But by
itself alone it can stand in testimony
for all future time to the efficiency
and mastering capacity of the Ameri-
can Navy in. meeting any demands,
however impossible they appear TO pc,
which NAV be imposed upon it. AS
the immediate directing power in this
wonder story of achievement in the
war, Mr.. Daniels cannot feel any
greater pride than is r%ightfully his

Conscience Needs Awakening

The "News of The World" the
newspaper published in London, Eng
land, October 10th, 1919, contains a
cartoon representing Mars, the brutal
God of War astride the back of a
woman labeled civilization a Terrible
Burden"
The youngster, labeled League of
Nations" says to a woman standing
still and silent, "Come on, sister; if
you will help, l will pull him off"
A quotation from the letter of
Prime Minister Lloyd George to the
Mansion House meetings is as follows:
THE Allied Governments are pledged
to the noble ideal of the League of
Nations, but it is only the enlightened
opinion and the awakened conscience
of all people of ell lands that will
make it a living power"
The Allies were united in wal and
caused a surrender without a crush
ing defeat. Why cannot people have
intelligence and enlightened; reason to
unite in peace as well as in war?

WEAKNESS From Doing, Nothing

AS announced in the House by Re
publican Leader Mundell,, it is the in
tention of the majority control of Con-
gress to adjourn this special session
by November 10 so that members can
have "a few weeks rest" before the
start of the regular session. early In
December.
Rest from what?
Congress assembled more than five
months ago, or on. May -. 1t was
summoned by the President to demo-
bolize industry and prepare for peace.
More particularly it was summoned to
effect a downward revision of war
taxation, and there has been no such
revision. To repeal the excise taxes
on retail sales, and there has been no
repeal. To legislate toward ga genu-
inc characterization of industry" and
| Congress has again done nothing,
| while strikes in increasing number
and extent have convulsed the coun-
try and demoralized industry. To
prepare for returning the railroads to
owners, and no preparation has been
made.
The situation demanded reconstruc-
tive financial legislation, and there has
been none. 1t demanded the creation
of a budget system preliminary to any
fiscal legislation, and nothing again
has been done.
The important legislative achieve
ments of these more than five months
of the special session are two: A
Prohibition Enforcement act, which
was written and dictated by the anti.
Saloon League and required no more
effort from Congress than to vote as
ordered by the League; and repeal Of
the Daylight-Saving law, which cost
no greater effort than to calculate the
size of the farm vote involved. Be-
yond these herculean performances
the Senate has been occupied in be,

Premier of Japan Urges Open Policy

The day of Machiavellian diplomacy
and international bargains made in
the dark has passed and the new era
of open diplomacy has arrived, whether
the old-school diplomats of Japan like
it or not, declared X. Hara, the pre-
mier, in effect, at a luncheon he gave
recently to cabinet members and sixty
five other notables of Japan. He said:
"Ihe war has brought about the
dawn of a new era in the world and in
the future international affairs are to
be managed through the cooperation
of the powers. The result is that mil
itarism has been absolutely discarded
and the powers are at work conformity
for the sake of world peace. In every
country there are men who find it hard
to abandon old ideas. They remain
blind to the general current of the
world and strive for the acquisition
of rights and interests. 1t should be
remembered, however, that such old
school politics is no longer admissible
IN present-day diplomacy.
"There is no doubt that the peace
treaty will be ratified by the powers
at no distant date, though it is very
probable that its operation will result
in the cropping up of various new
problems. One thing that should be
borne in mind, however, is that in the
conduct of diplomacy in the future
Machiavellianism, which has hitherto
been thought by some to be an in
dispensable requisite of successful
diplomacy, will have no place in it's
display.
Sincerity and straightforwardness
will in future be the guiding principle
on which the conduct of diplomacy
should be based, although this will be
a new phenomenon to a certain class
of publicists, to whom the mainten-
ance of international cooperation
seemed tantamount to national humili-
alton.
"Now, that Japan, as one of the five
great powers, is charged with the
preservation of the peace of the Far
East, it is necessary that the action
and argument of her people should be
guided by car and consideration"
Baron Makido, peace delegate, said
it was necessary for Japan to train
men to become we'll informed in
foreign affairs and well versed in
foreign languages.
