GOOD ADVICE

In his brief address to the Senate President
elect Harding did more than politely express
admiration for and confidence in the body of
which he is still member. He gave the mem
bers of his party in the Senate good advice
when he said: with propriety can not ven
ture upon any suggestions now, even though
am speaking as member of this body Three
months of the present Administration remain,
and ] would have the House and Senate join
cordially in making them fruitful rather than
wasted months. There is SO much to be done,
and we have already had so much of delay, that
I should like unanimous recognition that there
are no party ends to serve, but precious days
are calling for service to our common country"
It is evident that Mr.. Harding is feeling the
weight of the responsibilities he is soon to
assume and that he wants the overwhelming
Republican majority to feel the weight of the
responsibilities it has already assumed. There
are indeed mo party ends to serve" by not join
ing in the effort to make the last three months
of the present Administration fruitful. If
there was party capital to be made through
such policy before the election, there is none
to be made now. Though to the Wilson Admin
istration may be given some part of the credit
for what is accomplished in the next three
months, whatever of urgent work is done now
will leave less of urgent work to be done after
the fourth of next March. And there is much
to do much that requires all of the best
available craftsmanship. To cease to delay at
once and strive to answer some of the urgent
calls in the best possible manner will not only
help Mr. Harding later on but commend Con-
gress itself to waiting country.

A SANE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Worthy of general attention, and especially
of persons agitating for rigid Sunday OBJ
servance laws, is the report of the committee
on civic righteousness submitted to the Bap-
list ministers conference in Philadelphia on
December (Which in part reads:
with the religious aspects of the Lords
day lawmakers and executives have moth
ing whatsoever to do, except to see that
citizens are undisturbed in the free exer-
else of their lawful right to worship God
according to their consciences. The church
is interested in the passage and execution i
of humane and righteous laws on this and
all other fit subjects for legislation, but
can never properly invoke the law to en-
force a religious obligation such efforts
being wrong in principle and in practice
futile"
This is one of the sanest announcements yet
made in connection with the "blue Sunday
proposition. 1t states the true principle which
should govern in this matter, and is all the
more admirable as coming from an ecclesias-
tical body unquestionably in favor of Sunday
observance. The fathers Of the American re-
public completed the freedom they created
when they provided for religious liberty, but
the very spirit of their great enactment would
be repudiated if we should now take away the
freedom of the general public by enforcing
even proper rule of the churches. AS the
above report so pointedly saps, to "invoke the
law to enforce religious obligation" is wrong
in principle" and certain to be futile" in prac-
tice.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

The flow Of evergreens from their native
home to the markets of the world to serve
as Christmas trees will soon begin. This har-
vest, in America, serves to help out the funds
of many people who live in the brush country
The woodsman, with just about two slashes
of keen AK, sewers the STRIPPING from the
stump and so converts it into a Christmas tree.
Closely packed in bundles the trees reach the
wholesale market by the carload Ultimately
they come to the ultimate consumer" with
bottom braces that give them firm footing, and
ready to be decorated with candles, or when
possible, by strings Of miniature colored cleo
trio lamps.
Who invented the Christmas tree is only con-
jectural Even before Christ was born the
Egyptians decorated their homes with palms as
suggestion of everlasting life. Martin Luz
Their used Christmas tree decorated with
candles for the pleasure of his children. The
idea was taken up in Germany and in the nine
tenth century it spread all over Christendom.
History has it that the custom of using the tree
Rt the Christmas season in England was intro
