CHRISTMAS TRADE
HEAVY IN RICHMOND

Christmas trade in Richmond has
been up to the expectations OF the
merchants of the city, according to
their opinions expressed Thursday at
ternoon. The holiday trade has not
been appreciably larger than that OF
the past two years, according to es-
Inmates, but business as rule shows
an increase over that of trade in
previous years.
Merchants sales books show thai
people of the city have been spending
about one-fourth more during the first
part of this month than last year.
Local merchants attributed the ad-
vance in sales to the fact that there
is not a great number here who did
not have funds to tide them over a
temporary depression.
Lowering in prices of material in
big jumps was said to be hardly
probable by many of the men inter
viewed. Many said that the necessi-
ties were rapidly reaching the lowest
mark of their descent, and that gen.
eral fluctuation would occur before
things reached an absolute normal.
Purchasing has been exceptionally
heavy during the past week. The
shop early campaigns have relieved
congestion, merchants say

Cincinnati Association
Starts ''Hafs On" Campaiiqn

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 23-"Hats
on" in elevators, even though there
may be women passengers, is the slo-
gan of the Cincinnati Building Own
ers'' and Managers association, which
has started a crusade to that end.
Whether they win their contention
that the removal OF hats in crowded
elevators is menace to passengers
in the immediate vicinity of those
who take off their headgear, remains
to be seen, for many prominent Gin
cinnat1 women are opposed to the
abolition of this old-fashioned cour-
tesy. "The habit" said Captain w.
M. Mcintyre. president of the associa-
ton. twas introduced by southern
people travelling in the north Origin
ally. I understand, negroes were re-
quired to remove their hats on enter
ing elevators. and in time white men
followed the example when women
were on the lift. On the same prin-
ciple, why do not men take off their
hats when travelling in a street car
which also contains women passen-
gers?'
And Captain Mcintyre got the fol-
lowing answers from women:
do not see any reason to discard
this courtesy. Courtesy is not gift.
1t is merely an examplification of
what man Is. Women never will
endeavor 10 decide this problem for
the men."-Mrs. Kennon Durham.
president Of the Cincinnati Women's
club.
Gust because women have been en-
franchised is not a sufficient reason
to effect the innate courtesy of men
which a true gentleman will show to-
ward a woman Mrs. Fenton Law
son, president of Woman's City club.

LOSES HIS VOTE

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 23.-William
Drew of Bedford came to this country
from England in 1885. He was II
years of age. Thinking his father had
been naturalized, he took advantage of
his twenty-first year. four years later
and voted. He has voted every year
since.
Drew's vote was challenged last
election, and investigation showed
that his father never had been nat
Iralized, not having received his
second papers, consequently he had
never been entitled to the franchise
which he has used all these years,
court officials told him.

A POOR SHOWING

The federal government turned
back the railroad systems Of the
United States to the original own
ers last Sunday and with them de-
ficit Of over twenty six million dol
lars besides nearly an equal amount
the government will have to pay the
corporations to put the rolling stock
and other equipment back in shape
they were in when Mr.. McAdoo
took them from the companies twen-
ty-six rnnnths ago.
"A wonderful niece Of managing
this must have been. It viii cost
the people Of this country between
fifty and sixty million dollars for the
experiment Of running the railroads
IN that length Of time. Besides the
freight rates were advanced about
fifty per cent over what they were
when the government took charge.
All this goes to show that the nm

BOUNDARY LINE PATROL

The federal government intends
to prasecrte vigorous campaign
against smugglers of whiskey from
Canada to the United States the
coming summer. The port of Penn
bina was asked last week to furnish
an estimate of what force of men
and methods Of getting around
would be required to look after this
district and form a boundary line
patrol. This district extends from
Noyes, Minnesota to the Montana
line, distance of over three hun
dred miles. Most of this distance
is open prairie with towns at inter-
walls on both sides of the line, which
make it easy to travel in the sum-
naer time.
We understand that Collector Nor
rison sent in a Recommendation
that a motorcycle patrol of ten men
would be able to attend to the MAJ
ter and it is likely that his recon-
mendations will be followed.
There is bill before congress
now asking for one million dollars
appropriation to coyer the expense
Of boundary line patrol between Can
ada and Uncle Sans land. This
expense is to cover the balance Of
the fiscal year which ends July LIST
next, which goes to show that it
will cost this country lot Of money
to keep Canadian booze from being
smuggled in.

much better had President Wilson
continued the roads under the old
management but allowed them to
make the increase of rates the gov
eminent did which would have given
them chance to extend the service
to accommodate the increased traffic
brought on by the war. It is self
evident that the government showed
incompetency and the people will
have to suffer for it. Railroads, like
everything else, require men of ex-
perience to run them from the Sec
tion man to the head of the organi-
cations. Politics played an import
ant part in this venture as it did in
many of the issues of the war.

The two men who did not stand
up to make the choice unamious,
have since become candidates on an
opposition ticket. These men, how
ever, did not even intimate that
they were candidates or wanted to
become candidates.; they never gave
the convention or the committee ap-
pointed an opportunity to consider
their claims, if they had any. Can
they now honestly charge that they
were not fairly dealt by?
Not one of the opposition candid
ates gave the convention an oppor-
tunity to consider this claim, and no
Democrat in attendance had an ink
ling that any one of them wanted
to become a candidate. Can they
now honestly charge that the con-
vention did not deal fairly with
them?
This conference was one of the
most harmonious ever held by Dem
ocrats in this state. It was widely
advertised, it was open, its deliber-
ations were public, and everybody
had ample opportunity to present
any matter in which he was inter-
ested. There were no secret confer
ences or caucuses or sessions. The
Democrats got together to avoid,
if possible, factional fights and to
maintain harmony. They went into
this conference with that purpose
and they came away from it unani-
mously agreed with the two excep-
tions above noted, that the men re-
commended were fair, honest, rep
reseptative and progressive Demo-
Gratis, entitled to the support Of the
party and of the Democrats in the
state generally. Self interest was
set aside in the interest Of party
success and harmony.
Conferences like this have been
held in all the states having presi-
Dental preference primary laws. In
wisconsin q similar conference Of
Democrats was held on the 9Th Of
February and q full ticket was re-
commended precisely as we recon-
mended q full ticket. We passed

THE AMERICAN LEGION
AND POLITICS.

In another column appears reso-
luton passed by the members of the
Evangelical church of Macarthur
which makes direct charge that the
American Legion as whole is tax
ing sides in favor of repeating the
so called "Blue Laws" of this state.
The "Blue Laws pertain to the
Sunday observance and the sale of
cigarettes principally as referred to
in these resolutions.
If the charge made by the Near
thur congregation is true then the
members of the American Legion
have overreached their constitution,
which says that it shall be "non-
partisan" in all the sense of the
word. If that body as a whole,
either through resolutions or mutual
understanding is promiting the re-
peal Of the "Blue Laws" they are
doing wrong thing.
A large percentage of the men,
bers of the Legion are young men
who may favor the sale of cigarettes
and enjoy smoking them but they
are hurting the cause for which they
were organized if they violate their
constitution and bylaws by taking
sides as a body. The sentiment IN
this state is in favor of Sunday OBJ
servance as far as base ball is con-
cerned and the cigarette has never
been looked upon favorably, even by
many of those who are in the habit
of smoking them. We believe that
when it comes to vote the law will
be upheld as it is by big majority.
It is not right to cast a reflection on
that organization through the iniu-
dicious acts of some of it's members.
Then again if these members are
taking advantage of the position
thew occupy in the Legion they can
expect to be subject to criticism.

the fair and the manly thing to do,

so.
