MERRY CHRISTMAS

JOY, Gladness and Happiness come tripping down life S pathway
hand in hand and arrive together on Christmas morning, an ever
welcome trio. For weeks there has gone forward preparations for
their coming and all Chrstcndom is ready to welcome them on the
date that is celebrated as the birthday of the Christ the most mo-
mentous birthday in the history of the world no matter from what
viewpoint it is considered, the day when the cosmos rings Peace
on Earth, Good viii toward Men"
Most folk live in the physical the greater part of the year and
find or take a comparatively little time for affairs spiritual so that
when comes Christmas with all of the spirituality it signifies there
comes with it a relaxation and a relief "a giving way and a yielding
of the coalser elements and an influx of the finer. 1t is such arising
of the spiritual above the physical that produces the light hearted
joy that young and old alike feel ON that day of days.
Whether it be the old IIcbraic idea Of the birth of a king, the
comforting thought of the coming of the Redeemer or only a recog-
milton of the mighty influence which Christ and his teachings have
welded down through the centuries, Christmas has a meaning pos
SeSed by no other holiday, by no other approached, save perhaps
Easter. America has its national birthday and other special days
and other countries have theirs but Christmas is the only one alike
in spirit and celebrated in all Christian lands. OF such purity is its
principle that it must command the respect and admiration of all
persons who worship a Creator, irrespective of creed, in different
ways from our own.
Christmas typifes and gives an outlet for all that is best in
mankind, the elimination of human thought throughout the ages
dwelling upon the wonders and mysteries Of existence, turning to
reverence of God and His representative on earth. 1t expresses, as
it permits, the ascendency of spirit, a realizing of the interdepend-
ency Of men and of their duty to one another and a spontaneous
outlet is found in the bestowal of gifts and of other sentiments of
well wishing and of well doing. Purity, as typifed by the soul of
a newly born babe, is at its root and so it has come to be the day
into which child life enters most largely. "Unto us a Child is
born, unto us a Son is given"
Sorrows and trials of the flesh are less of a burden at such a
time and misery and suffering flee before the ascendant spirit as
there enters in hope, joy and an Astounding faith in God, in man
and in the Divine plan.
1t is in this spirit that Maui News wishes to its readers and to
all whom this message may reach, a Merry Christmas.

REALIZING A DREAM.

1t is particularly appropriate that such satisfactory progress
toward the limitation of ornaments should be making as Christmas
Day approaches. What was regarded by SC many as a vaporous,
intangible dream is taking form and is crystaizng into a concrete
reality.
Practical disposal of the vexing issue as to the ratio of capital
ships the navies of the larger powers shall bear toward one another
is the next to the biggest thing the conference has done, the big
gest having been the getting of the nations into accord on the ne
cessly OF armament limitations and the arousing in them a spirit
OF Willingness to cooperate toward the desired end. Those accom-
pllshments alone make the conference a splendid success.
There are still to be settled the subjects of submarines, land
ornaments, use of gasses, questions connected with the radio service
and the matter of airpanes and carriers as well as details of the
Far Eastern situation most closely connected with China, but there
is good reason for the hope of a satisfactory outcome in all of these.
Complete disarmament would be revolutionary and permanency
comes through evolution. Armament limitation is the child from
which it may well be hoped that disarmament will be the adult
manhood.

1t has not been intended to insnuate that the illicit liquor

on a par with the other Islands.

BEAVER DAM SCHOOL NOTES

The Parent-Teacher Association
had its first open session last We'd
nesday evening. A splendid pro-
gram, consisting of music and read
ings by the pupils of the grades and
the High School, was given. Mrs.
Rummage, in the absence of the
president, charmingly presided.
Plans for the future were begun
and the Association adjourned to
meet the first Wednesday afternoon
in October.
The Zeta group Of the Jeffersonian
Literary Society gave an unusually
interesting entertainment at its
regular meeting Friday afternoon.
Each number showed originality
and pep on the part of the per-
former. The meetings, every Fri
day afternoon at $3.50 are always
open to visitors.

grettable that the officers Of the law
were not vouchsafed information in
regard to these attractions by those
law-abiding citizens in position to
know, or did not institute an investi-
cation so that such lawlessness might
be broken up. Whenever large
crowd is assembled, there is practi-
cally certain to be an unusual number
of lawbreakers in the vicinity. We
admit that country officers cannot

SLACK UPHELD BY HIGHER
COURT AND PUBLIC OPINION

That Judge Slack's opinion in the
Ohio county election case four years
ago was unassailable. and was con-
, firmed by the highest court in the
state as well as by public opinion,
is amply illustrated by the follow
ing editorial opinion. appearing in
the Democratic Owensboro Messen-
ger Nov. 4, 1917. Judge Slack was
called on only to pass upon the law
applicable to the case and that he
followed, not only plain, but in
escapable duty is clearly set out in
the editorial that follows:
1.-THE court of appeals has finally
decided that the Democratic candi-
dates in Ohio county, who failed to
file with the county clerk the certi-
ficates of their nomination, cannot
get their names upon the ballot,
and there will be virtually no cleo
ton in that county next Tuesday
the Republicans getting the Offices
by default.
In this the higher court fully sus-
tains Judge Slack, who, guided by
number of presidents, rendered the
same decision several days ago.
Neither Judge Slack, nor the court
of appeals, could do otherwise than
decide the case upon the strict,
technical construction of the law.
The Democratic candidates had fail
ed, in the time prescribed by law,
to file their certificates and there
was no relief for them.
Any criticism that may have been
made of Judge Slack because of his
action in this case must fall to the
earth harmless. for the court of APP
peals has indicated his construc-
ton of the law. The matter could
have gone directly to the court of
appeals from Judge Slack's court If
the Democrats OF Ohio county had
first obtained a temporary injunc-
ton from the circuit clerk of their
county. which Slack would have dis
solved, thus leaving the matter open
to appeal.
Ii is unnecessary to say that the
people of Judge Stacks district have
the utmost confidence in his ability
and perfect fairness in deciding II
concrete question Of law. No politi-
cal feeling could swerve him. The
Messenger has often attested its
faith in him. Judge Slack, is, on
the bench and of the bench, q fair
man. His opinion of the Ohio coun-
ty tricksters no doubt is the same
as that Of every other fair man in
Kentucky. But he was not privi-
legged to express it in trying the
case" Political Advertisement

AMMUNITION SHORT

Of campaign ammunition" In

Is running that editorial bouquet as
paid advertisement, sprinkling IL
literally with typographical en-
phasis of his own choosing, but neg
lecting, for some mysterious reason,
TO stress that part which really ap-
plies to Ohio County, the "trickery"
Of the leaders OF his party.
The PREDATORY claim Of Judge
/. Stacks advertisement that his deci-
sion was confirmed" by public opin-
ion certainly is not proved by
the editorial utterance OF the Mes
senger. That paper is careful to
state that public opinion through
out the state did not uphold the
spirit actuating the politicians who
disfranchised more than three thou
sand Ohio County citizens. The
peorle believe in fair play and
think that the law should be ad-
ministered in broad spirit of
equity, not prostituted TO the pur-
poses OF tricksters by the applica-
tion of fine technicalities. Not sim
