Meet M. Jusserand

Baltimore Sun: For twenty-five
years Ambassador Jusserand has
borne the diplomatic burdens of
France in Washington. During SC
long a period there must have been
many issues between his government
and that of the United States of vast
Importance to the friendly relations
of the two nations. His responsible
ties at the capital of a neutral nation
during the early days of the great
war must have been most trying. The
co-ordinating of the efforts of France
and America as Allies could have been
hardly less exacting of his time, at
tention and abilities.
The long and distinguished career
of Jules Jusserand as a diplomat
draws to close. Are the Jusser-
ands thinking of diplomatic success
es, the place they won and held in
the esteem and affections of their as
sociates and Americans generally!

LITTLE HOUSE OF CHRISTMAS

Little House of Christmas, in your white lane
Halfway twixt the highways of Remember and
Forget,
Once year your windows wake with welcome
taper-glow,
Once year your gate swings wide to feet OF
long ago.
Little House of Christmas, at your fragrant
feast,
All are hidden to the board the greatest and the
least;
Silk and vevet-mantled Hopes, rub elbows side
by side
With little, tattered, beggared Dreams that crept
in wstful-eyed.
Little House of Christmas, all drfted deep with
snow,
Holly decked, and sweet with fir, and hung with
mistletoe,
All the roads of all the world, cheerless were.
and drear,
Were your blazing Yule-logs quenched that be-
exon once year.
Hands stretch welcome at your sill the years
have thrust apart,
Memories clasp tender arms about each lonely
heart,
Long-lost faces gather close, voices loved of old
Ring across the holly -boughs beneath the taper.
gold.
Little House of Christmas, in your white lane
set,
Halfway twixt the highways of Remember and
Forget,
May each storm-blown wanderer, weary and
alone,
Hear some voice call cheer to him across your
lintel-stone.

THE GIVING OF GIFTS

N Hiss it though may in other things yet
M we find truth and joy in the inexpressble
sweetness of Giving. 1t matters not at
all if the gift be poor, the value small, the cost
slight Though it be worthless in the
port of the worlds exchange, once Gift, it has
become priceless in the eyes of the recipient, set
with the jewels of the gvers soul and beautified
with the glory of his love. A sublime trans
formation has raised it out of the dross into the
ETHEREAL brightness of the realm that is circled
by affection.
The climax of delights incident to generos-
ty is reached at this time Other days in the
year are wise and careful in our giving, but
this one day give with supreme indifference
to the rules of benevolent society," Once in the
whole year we are to realize that it is more bless

The hallowed memories of Christmas redeem

little moment out of the whole twelve months we
stand and gaze upon the manifestation of pow
er we do not understand, greatness we have
not fathomed.
Glorifed against the background of the ages,
appears the hallowed form of Him who was born
on Christmas Day. Ever it is He who is an in
centive to gracious and generous giving, He who
is symbol of love, He who is supreme and
matchless personality which Eliminates His nat
al day with the perfect beauty of the spirit of
love. Inasmuch as our giving exemplifes His
graciousness, is it truly worthy of being done in

1t looks like there is going to be a pretty
little scrap in the legislature this year on the
highway proposition. The gas tax amendment
in the recent election carried because the
principle of the tax is recognized as the most
Just ever devised, and people will prefer to pay
their highway tax in this manner. But a good
share of them felt that the passing of gas
tax would mean the elimination decrease OF
the present vehicle tax. Now Commissioner Bah
cock comes out with the announcement that he
will seek two cent gas tax instead OF lone
cent tax, will ask that the present motor vehicle
tax be maintained and that the state pass a
twenty million dollar bond issue. Mr.. Babcock
is fighter and knows how to get what he wants
but we predict that the legislature will not accede
to his demands. Our own representative, Mr.
Knudsen says he is in favor of lowering the
vehicle tax and is opposed to the bond issue Sc
far as the writer is concerned he would be will
ing to pay the gas tax in addition to the vehicle
tax, because the money spent on roads the state
over is actually saved by reduced operating ex
pense and less wear and tear on the car. But
there are many who do not want to pay both
these taxes. So far as the bond issue is con-
cerned, that is even less popular and should be
dropped at once. But no matter what is done
about the vehicle tax we will all be glad to be
able to collect from the tourist through the gas
tax even if we do have to pay little more our
selves-W Window Citizen.

The following little news item shows the
trend of the public mind toward the return of
capital punishment for murderers. Women are

it would seem that this is no longer true, even if

Sentimentality in handling criminals
and the plea of youth in murder trials
were condemned December tenth at

and variety any other trial court in

diction of a Federal court with that
of such court as the Supreme Court
of New York.
In that period the population of
the District has much more than dou-
bled. bringing with it, alas for our
boosted civilization. n great increase
in crime and private litigation. 1t
has brought an ever-increasing num-
Der of, cases in which great interests
of the Government are at stake. 1t
has brought new statutory offenses
enacted by Congress. and it brought
the late war, with it's harvest of new
kinds of cases to be tried in this
court.
Cites Congestion In Courts.
During the first IA years OF that
period three of it's justices had 10
Sit as appellate judges, leaving the
remaining three to struggle with
the ever-incroa ling trial business. For
45 years of Il period it was the ap-
rallate court 10 retry cases on appeal
from what is no wthe Municipal
Court. Small wonder that there should
have come about congestion. And
Yet. by great exertions, the court
has reduced the time within which
civil cases are reached for trial after
having been instituted from about IS
months to less than six months. New
rules nave been adopted by the court
designed to simplify and to expedite
the transaction of judicial business,
and it is confidently believed, that
much progress can be made in the
speedy dispatch of criminal cases
pending in the court. And it is my
hope and purpose that those who
commit offenses in this District be
indicted and brought to trial within
80 days and at the most 80 days after

 In explaining why he is staying at home, he said that the evidence be- fore 4ae, think the entire New York National league team should have been disqualified, and the Brooklyn team substituted in their place to play against the Washington Senators.
