Merry Christmas To All

To all its readers and patrons THE PUEBLO
CH1EFTAIN wishes Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
As a business institution this newspaper has had its
share Of the msfortmes and the prosperity of the
munity for the past year. 1t might have been better and
it might have been worse but at the Christmas
The Chiean has good to rejoice in the manifold
and substantial expressions of good will from the bus
and others of Pueblo and Colorado and in all
sincerity it offers Christmas greetings to all who
contributing in every way TO the material upbuildng
and prosperity of this city and state May the next
Christmas in unclouded sunshine and the
of the of prosperity that certainly lies ahead of
ALL
No newspaper fifty its purpose meet the
rghtfu expectations of the community from which it
derives its support, unless it something than
business institution The people of Pueblo have looked
Tho Cheftain forward every effort for good to
speak geousy the things that should be said for
the public benefit, to interpret events in Tie light
of and experience and TO stand for right and
ice in all public social business and domestic affairs
This The Chieftan has steadfasv strven to do, and
appreciation frequently expressed is gratefully
knowledged the best compensation that could
for such efforts.
Sincerely believing that Pueblo is TO he better
city in the coming year than 1T has been In the
past the managers of the Chieftan will strive to make
it better newspaper than it has been before. To
do that successfully The Chioftain must have contiu
unton of material support from advertisers and sub
scbcrs but it also hopes and expects to have and to de-
serve the approval of all whose approval is worth hav
ing-the majority which is the home loving, loyal,
self respecting, people of Pueblo and its
neirhhorng communities

Other Industries are not so well of.
The shipbuildins industry has becom"
nonexistent- Mining in general offer
little encouragement Phosphate mining
in Florida is mostly shut down becausH
OF lack OF demand from Germany. Coal
mining. save in the anthracite regions,
is not booming. Tho lumber husfner-
has helped the situation much In 10
calities. especially in the yellow pin"
districts. Just now 1t is slowing down
because OF the approach of cold wealth
er. but expects all sorts of busincsa
next spring. especially IL tho handicap
OF high freight rates he removed.
Lower costs or transportation sr"
among the matters Of moment that add
hope OF better business In some lines
after tho coming OF the year. In agri
culture It means n moderate increase OF
price to the farmer. altho not neccs-
earily to the consumer OF farm prod
ucts.
Industrial life. where now active,
adds distinctly to tho welfare Of eonie
communities. There has been bct'"r
business recently In many scattered To-
calities where shoe factories arc full
OF work. or because OF the presence OF
furniture factories that arc fairly
busy. Turnout tho nation local indus
tries OF one kind or another are the
saving grace OF an otherwise intoleT-
able situation
The universal feeling Is that there
can be no better times that arc cncur-
ing or worth while until the prices or
farm products advance materially, or
else the prices OF other commoditics
decline proportlonately.

Peace On Earth To Men OF Good Will
w W.
HALLEJUAH.

Not since the herald angels sang their message of
peace the plains of Bethlehem has there been Christ
day will, such burden of blessing to humanity
is carried by this day.
It j. augury OF good that this year is rarely
the Christmas Sunday and the New Year,
which promises to be in respects tho best year hu
manty has known begins and ends the day that
is sacred among all the Christian nations.
Intelligent and women cannot fail in gratitude
to the Ruler of the Universe whose eternal purpose leads
mankind forward in the path of progress and they will
give due regard and honor the outstanding leaders of
the forward march of humanity in every land But it is
the American spirit TO accept idly the providences
Of the Creator TO follow bndly the paths chosen by
statesmen and philosophers.
The lasting peace that the world seeks, and that is
promised to tho world today is the of the people
and not the peace of kings and ambassadors.
More than ever before the world understands that
peace is to men of good will; and therefore every ndi
vidual man and woman in the world has part in making
peace possible, in making the world fit for peace.
1t is thought often expressed that every step for
ward in human development has been made blood suf
fcrng and 1t has been predicted that the sur
passing horrors of the World would bring
pondine greatness Of benefit the survivors that
catastrophe. Apparently beginning TO how
that prophecy is to fulfilled only the individual
opportunities and endure to hold fast the wisdom that
has been gained
The enduring peace to Of good will is measured
out to individuals and nations. Every man and
every woman has part in winning peace, contributing
to the good will that alone makes peace possible.
The Good Will of Peace is manifested not only in in
ternaonal conferences and treaties but 1t is manifested
even more in the social the industrial and the political
acts Of the common people every day

What Christmas Means
Frederick A. Hatch

who rule the world and will someday.
1t is the date of the linking of the unseen with
the seen; that babe connected the world above
with the world about 1t is event, which
in the upper spheres must still be thrilling the
angels. st is the most momentous date for this
; globe. For after brief among men, that Jesus
returned to the heavens, and God the Spirit des
cends. He could not come until the advent cru
cifxion, resurrection and ascension had come to
pass.
And now because of all this which mi
tiated that morn we may become children of God,
for He came to redeem souls, with the future as
surance of the redemption of bodies which means
full sonship. Coming to this earth to die for
; because He loved and still loves, us, He has
gone away for little while that He may come
; again to receive us to Himself.
No wonder Paul shouts 81 persuaded 4
that neither death nor life angels prncipali-

denizens of other spheres acclaiming Him liking

deliverance from fear, and the shining of the
light Of hope upon those who sit in darkness and
the shadow of death, and the guiding Of steps

Political Motive
Behind Hopkins's
Charges, Is View
Committee of 48 Planning
Third Party on Govern
nent Operation of Car
riers, Says Binkcrd Reply

Charges by J. A. H. Hopkins. execu-
ave chairman Of the Committee Of
Forty ight, that the plan to fund the
Indebtedness OF the railroads to the
government is not only improper but
fundamentally dishonest brought
vigorous reply yesterday from Robert
S. Einkerd, assistant to the chairman
ref the Association of Railway Execu-
tives. Mr. Binkeyd declared that the
Committee of Forty y-cight had been
looking for some time for basis on
which it hoped to be able to organize
a new third national party in opposi-
tion to the Republican and Democratic
parties, and was trying to effect the
organization of this third party on
the basis of the government owner
ship and operation of the railroads.
Referring specifically to Mr.. Hop
Aips's remarks, Mr.. Binl1erd said
"Whcre did Mr.. Hopkins get the idea
that the Indebtedness of the railroads
to the government covers the replacing
of wornout equipment or other de-
preciations II he would but read the
memorandum Of the Director General
TO the President he would learn that the
railroads purchased from the govern
ment new cars and locomotives costing
approximately 1881 900 600, and that
there was spent on additions and bet
terments, other than new equipment,

money spent for extensions, additions
to terminals, new warehouses, new coal
piers, additional signals, side tracks,
engine houses, shops and tools--which
Mr. Hopkins declares TO be dishonest
because not paid out of operating ex-
penses
ut is precisely because these ex-
penditurcs represe mt new improve
ments, the cost OF which should be
distributed over a series Of years, that
the government has proposed the fund
ing OF this indebtedness so as not to
require the companies to pay for these
new improvements out of their working
capital, with the necessary result Of
curfaillng those very current opera
tons which Mr.. Hopkins contends
should be paid for currently.
MIR. Hopkins then goes on TO ssv
that all the railway securities could
be purchased in the open market for
ABOUT S1l l.5O0 900, 900 ard that the DIFF
terence between this sum and the
$50 100000 GOO book value of the rail
roads is water. Some years ago Mr..
Hopkins and many Of his associates
were interested In securing a law re-
curing the valuation of the railroads.
Whlle this work is not yet completed
1t has gone SO far as to show that the
value Of the railroads on pre-war
prices will at least equal, If not exceed
$40 100000, 900. The Interstate Com
merce Commission itself has found
that the lowest value it could put upon
the property of the railroads is SIS

allowance for the enormous amount Of
