ENFORCE THE 18th AND 18TH
AMENDMENTS.

It is with very great satisfaction
that we notice there seems to be some
hope that, at last, the members of
Congress have determined to form a
plan for representation in that august
body upon the basis of the voters per-
mitted to participate in elections in
the several states, rather than upon
mere population, in Presidential and
Congressional elections.
Congressman George H. Tinkham,
of Massachusetts,, has introduced a
resolution based upon the provisions
of the 18th and 18th Amendments to
the Constitution and showing that the
representation from several states is
not in keeping with those provisions.
Notably in the Southern states, glar-
ing ignoring of these constitutional
amendments has been practiced for
many years, giving eleven of these
states 126 votes in the electoral col
lege and 104 representatives in Con
gress on total vote of all presidential
candidates of 10000. The state of
New York, alone, cast total vote of
1,706,354 but has only 43 representa-
tives in Congress and 20 votes in the
electoral college.
On account of this fragrant ignoring
of the 18th and 18th Amendments we
have had the infiction Of Wilson and
wisconsin for the past seven years
and ten months, and we most sin,
cerely hope that the present Congress
will make such a condition impossible
for the future.

GI1LESLETS.

Seasonable is always good weather.
Man can rule, but God can override.
Every man makes his own luck.
Nothing in this world is good
enough.
The Bible has a message for every
occasion.
Each ideal family is presided over
by priest and priestess.
Stagnation in the moral, intellectual
or physical life, means decay.
When you are tempted to criticise
others, turn your guns on yourself.
Regular family meals and regular
family worship would solve many
family problems.
Good morning, Mr.. Blank, how are
you? Oh: fine thank you, fine. That
is right. Mr.. Blank, there is no money
in anything else.
The best craftsmanship is the art of
leading the people to buy what you
want them to buy; and, what they
will always be glad, afterwards, that
they did buy.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1920.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Today is the 192Oth anniversary of
the birth of Christ, the Son of God.
The observance of Christmas as
the day of the birth of the Savior is
by common consent a pleasing and
profitable custom, and it is moreover
the one thing in which Christians of
all denominations, with but few ex-
ceptions, actually concur.
In almost every other particular,
creed, doctrine, rites and ceremonies,
there is almost infinite diversity of
opinion and practice; in regard to
the porpriety of making the alleged
day of our Savior's birth, a holiday,
there is substantial 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, So
cial, governmental and personal, must
necessarily, be connected with that
important event as the orbs of the
solar system are with the great lu-
minary. 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 gravi-
tation. In every letter we write,
every deed we execute, every item of
business we transact, custom has
made it necessary and unavoidable
that we should connect the transac-
ton with the truth of Christ. And
it is a significant fact that the ma
lions that thus recognize the Savior,
in even an incidental manner, are
those most advanced in intelligence
and civilization-those that are most
powerful and prosperous, those that
really govern the world. The nations
that celebrate the 18th of December
and that designate the present year
1920 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.
We wish all our readers A MERRY
CHRISTMAS.
