A STATE coNsrABULARY.

That the granges of the state should be supporting the idea of a state con- stabulary for the purpose of dealing with crime that is committed in the country three can be no surprise. Conditions here may not be as bad as they are in some of the states where such an orr ganization is maintained but it can be appreciated that there are times when the farmers do not appear to be- getting the protection they deserve. Whether the service that is aimed at or. expected could be actually obtained through such an organization as is proposed can prob ably be set forth as the result of the ac- tivties of similar forces elsewhere.
 To a large degree it is realized that the present state police force serves tc cover the towns outside of the cities where town and county agencies neet assistance, but it. is fully apparent thai he farmers aye subjected to endless losses because of the depredations ot those who make a practice of preyinG thereon Because they understand the lack of protection and feel reasonably sure of avoiding detection.
 There are those who make practic' of raiding the crops under the cover O night in order to get fresh produce tC pedde in the cities the next day, Ther, are others who do not hesitate to caus, all kinds of damage to country proper ty because there is no one to restraiI them, and someone how the impression prevails that the open country is any body's to be done vith as one pleases | There is no good reason why ther ] should not be respect for law and orde in the country as we'll as in the cities | and whether the idea of a state conszab
 ulary goes through or not it seems prob
 able that something will result that vii | give greater security to those who liv | in the farming sections of the state, an,
 who are entitled to have their rights ant property respected.

STANDING BY AWARD.

Perhaps one of the most surprising things in connection with the coal situa- ton is the attitude of the hard coal miners relative to the award that has been made in their behalf and their in dcated inclination to refuse to abide by
 it. It has not been sl own as yet that governments representatives to the ef- feet that the outlook was not good tells it's own story.
 In connection with the demands for higher wages the anthracite miners af- ter being unable to agree with the oper- ators submitted the matter to arbitra- 'tion. The facts in the case were heard by a commission named by President Wilson. the understanding being that the award would be accepted by both sides whatever it might be. The result was that the miners were given an increase but not what they had asked for or ex- pected. They nevertheless after some hesitation and baking accepted the award.
 It didn't satisfy, however, and eff forts have been made to get the opera tors to agree to reopen the award that they may get more money and better working conditions. In other word: they ask to have the operators set aside what the commission considered just tt all concerned. including the public ant agree to give them more money, sucf increase serving either to increase tn, price of coal to the consumer or to elim mate the benefit which the consume would receive through any possible Gu in the price of coal.
 There are plenty of reasons for believ ing that the operators haven't much re gard for the pocketbooks of the consume except when they have to. but it mus be admitted that when they maintain that the opening of the award would b l a breach of faith with the public the. stand on good ground, and with Twin i conditions easing up the hard coal min | CTS will be in better position to stan 1 off a reduction when the time comes tha those who a1e getting more

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is one of our greatest fes- tival days. It is the day We celebrate the birth of Christ, whose coming into the world as babe in a manager in far on Bethlehem so many centuries ago brought such Immense powers for good. The angels song at ,he first Christmas, Peace on earth to men of good will' of fers the same inspiration today thai it did then.
 Gt has been said that something in Christmas always stays the same. This means that Christmas brings the same message today that it did yesterday and ul continue Co do tomorrow. the 'mes- sage of peace. of good will, of joy and hope And in accord with that great self sacrificing example. the Christmas spirit has spread abroad throughout the land mtl everyone plans to distribute an the goodness. Kindness and generosity possible. that others may be made hap py aud be made to feel the love of feI- low mon.
 Christmas is not. however, for the pur- pose of earning thc reward of gifts but for giving them In thcir true significance The Saviour came t0 minister 10 the spiritual nature of man and through the help that was given showed the duty of helping one another.
 This is thc third Christmas since the ending Of hozulities in the great war that long experience in bloodshed which should be the eliminating lesson in mak- inE thc world see the wisdom of avoid ing such strife n the future. We arc getting back to a sau-- and cslmer mood hut we sful find that there are plenty of opportunities for service. for helping mankind. for relieving distress. for pre-. venting famine. in fact for showing tn, .reai Christmas spirit
 The Christmas spirit is not one that should exist for a day or week. II should be firmly implanted in our every fla ylife it is unfortunate that greater recognition is not given to this import ant need.

WHERE BRIDES MUST
 WEEP AT WEDDINGS

The wedding day in most countries Is the brides day. It is her part Co look happy. however long a face tho groom may pull Only in LthuanIa is it a day Of osteutztious gloom for her when, after being led through the light ed church by two young men. follow ed by her bridesmaids. she takes her stand in front of the altar. Co be goiu- ed by the groom. also accompanied by several young men.
 Behind the wedding party come the two mothers. While the priest per- forms the ceremony the bride ruusf weep necessarily lf she is unabic Co hide her real 3ubiiation and cannot squeeze out a tear. she iH conaidered guilty of a serious breach of etiquette. and the ceremony Is rendered more in- teresting by a vigorous scolding ac- ministered by the two motherr. Thus the maiden is expected to show The boon she is conferring upon mere mza by becoming his wife.
 The same attitude toward the Lifhu- anian woman Is proved by all the GUS tums of the little Baltic ~tzte that has declared itself republic. it is shown for instance. in old photoErapha Ia these the woman Is not standing with her hand on the shoulder Of her seated lord. like photographs of Erandfather and grandmother. but throned ia state. with her husband and sons standing gallantly beside her.

THE MINISTERIAL corRr

Among the efforts which have been put forth for the purpose of ending the trou- ble between capital and labor and safe guarding the public from the detrl1nen- ial effects of strikes Is the industrial court established in Kansas by Governor Allen. lt was tho outcome of unjustified strikes and has been getting strong op- position from anizations which have carried the idea that it was aimed solely at the crushing of labor instead of giv- ing the square deal that it promised
 The court was established with the idea of doing justice, of dealing with la bor troubles the same as other matters where facts and laws must be taken in- to consideration. It was projected with the idea of preventing strikes and has the authority not only to order strikers back to work but to require the keeping of factories in operation. Thus it ism an organization that deals only in one sided justice but follows the middle of the road.
 Thoss who may have believed other wise must have been convinced that it is constructed to deal with industries as well as labor by the decision which ha. just been given by the court to the effect that an industry must maintain a reas onabie production and that a certain pro. portion of it's skilled and necessary em pioyes must be paid whether the plan' is operated or not. though of course con. ditions must govern.
 That is a decidedly different idea thar has ever prevailed before, and whether the court has interpreted the law cor. |rectly may be open to a decision by 8 pAigher court. It ought to convince labor

T know the gents wot pockets the chalk, but they're regular customers, and you wouldn't like me to offend them, would you?'
 Well, mo-" was the reply. But you could give them a gentle hint, you know"
 The boy promised to do it and a day or two later, observing a player pocket ing a piece of chalk. he approached the culprit and remarked:
 You'll excuse me, sir, but are you in any way connected with the milk trader
 Well, yes" was the reply What of it"

Sunday Morning Talk
CHRISTMAS PAST.

Christmas Past is always resurrect- ed in Christmas Present. The oldest one among us looks back in the yule- tide with tender recollections to Christmas days in which the young around him have no share. Once, it seems not very long ago, the silver haired grandmother was a little girl, light of foot and gay of spirit, and the venerable man with dim eyes and stopping shoulders was a youth setting forth to conquer the world. They had their merry times and their mysteries, their delight at the love that blossoms out in Christmas gifts. They have the same pleasure in different manner now, and at Christmas are reiuvenated because every past year flowers out again in beautiful grace and perfume, in the latest Christmas. If years ago, these dear ones growing old made room in their hearts for the Saviour; if then they crowned Him King they have realized his unfailing goodness and, through sorrow and joy, through storm and calm, through loss and gain, their lives have been halIowed.
 What a pity it is that some of us let slip so many happy occasions for gratitude, so many seasons of rest and strength, because we have had room for everyone else, but never room for Jesus. For us the angels have not sung, for us the Star has not shone. We have missed the palms of Film and the springing fountains. we have not feasted on the Living Bread. for we have had no separate sanctuary where the Christ has been born in us and we have had no outfiowing of His l tenderness in our intercourse with men. 1 We have been narrow and selfish. be- cause we have not had room in our l hearts for the King.
 Christmas Past has been dedicated | to the world and not to God, and SC we meet Christmas Present with 8 Jarring note in our songs, with a break in the harmony that unite earth and | heaven.
 What pity it is that any one should
 lose the opportunity of gladness that is theirs who prepare the hearts room for the Child of Bethlehem, while they | are themselves children. Far easier i | it to prepare the room when life i young. To postpone allegiance to tn
 Savious until middle life or old age i
 to rob each Christmas of it's coronation
 and to dwarf every life in its full de
 Yelopment.

ITALY MOVES.

There have been indications that Italy believed that the D'Annunzio trouble would die out if dealt with softly and not stirred up in such a manner as to cause a great rallying of an uncertain. element Co the standard Of the poet-warrior. The situation at Plume has placed Italy in a strange light and caused it no little em- harrassment. There has been indicated a desire on the part Of Italy to squelch the matter without taking drastic steps. but from the latest move made. with reg uiars actually in combat with the forces of D'Annunzio there appears to have been formulated different policy.
 Italy had appearedly hoped the task was accomplished by the treaty it made with Jugoslayia, but that failed to quelI t-g determination or the holders of Fiume ik-@gwever. becomes necessary for Italy 70 ,act. The alternative is to tell the w11id Athat it isn't in position to dea- with this matter and thereby confess its wSsias5s.
 ,Spee, the signing of the treaty Italy has witnessed defections on the part Of units Of the navy. army and aviation cops. Those who were supposed to b, loyal have suddenly gone over to tn, DAununzio camp. This with the treaty has apparently caused the Italian gov ernment to recognize the need of gettins this job out Of the way. and while il sets about it in the husinesslixe mannet that might he expected there is appar enty a determination not to cause an, greater amount Of bloodshed than i necessary.

much that is worth knowing, but that is unknown by every individual. in every state in which people make their abid- ing places. Very often people from other states ask questions. seeking informa- tion. that every or any one Of us should be able to answer. But are We? Do We know with even a reasonable degree of certainty in what section of the state certain counties. towns and cities are located-without consulting the map? Do We know what the general resources of those counties are. what Of production is common to them Eeveraily2 These and many other like questions can be answered inteiligently only when the one questioned Is intelIigently informed.

 When he arrived at Idlehaven. next afternoon he sensed an atmosphere of suppressed excitement

OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS

Ripley, dear" began Mrs. Ponderly one recent evening. Have you made any plans for celebrating .Christmas?"
 Celebrating, my dear Ada, is a word that is rapidly going out of use" replied her husband Tt has always been mis- applied to days that should be sacred. If We could keep Christmas the way we did when I was boy there might be some pleasure in ii"
 "Oh, let's try to do that !"
 Don't talk nonsense, Ada said Pon derly sternly How could we have on old fashioned Christmas? Where could we find a chimney that Santa Claus could possibly descend or a bunch of ex- cited kid, crazy to see what was in their stockings? For a real Christmas there must be a fireplace, stockings, gray-hair- ed grandparents and most important of all, children.
 Well" returned his wife with a sigh. then I suppose I'd better reserve our usual table at a downtown hotel"
 Next morning Mrs. Ponderly resolutely attacked her shopping list.
 Tt would not be so hard" she unused If 8 man did not supply his own desires as fast as he discovers them. 1 had al- most decided on that clock for the dash board and last night he showed me one he had picked up during the day. But It would be fun to surprise him with a real, old fashioned Christmas
 Then suddenly she seized her pen ana dashed off a note. Dear Aunt Berinthia,' It ran. may we accept this year you oft repeated invitation to pass Christmas at fdlehaven? And may l come soor l and consult you about a surprise for Rip | ley? Your excited and happy niece.

that it isn't the only party in industrial life to be regulated. but with Kansas industry being obliged to produce goods whether there is market for them or not, or to pay wages while clused, there ap- pears to be a large expense attached which will make it difficult for it to com pete with industries not operating un- der those conditions in other states.
