Our Greetings

PART Of the wisdom Of Providence, no doubt, is express
ed in the calendar position Of Christmas. 1t would be
hard to imagine a holiday of its peculiarly sweet and
tender significance coming at any other season of the
year. No other time is SO appropriate. The sparkling
cold Of the air but increases the warmth within.
Spring and summer have their more intense activities and
autumn its garnering. Near the end of the year comes
the balancing Of the books, the checking over Of affairs to
see if they have been we'll or i'll. This is also a good time
for spiritual stock-taking, a proceeding happily promot-
ed by Christmas.
II our affairs have been good, the more reason for a feel
ing OF charity and good will. If the twelve-month has
borne trials and anxieties in unusual measure, the more
reason for a sympathetic feeling toward others who have
been similarly %burdened, and for summoning peace to our
hearts and renewing our faith.
1t is the season Of quickening pulse and regenerated hope
the season when heart cal1etl unto heart. Let us blend
our voices in full jubilee.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

QuadrupIe Staying, 7
With Possible Suicide
Pact Angle, Unveiled

ELLENSBURG, Wash, Sept. 27 tP)
"A quadruple Staying with a possible
suicide pact angle stirred the little
mining town of Roslyn today.
William German, so, Roslyn coal
miner for 20 years, shot his wife and
two children, Irene, 13, and Billy, ii,
drowned the family dog in wash tub
and then poisoned himself.
The tragedy was discovered when a
letter containing $500 for funeral ex-
penses and revealing the Staying plans,
was received by Dan Mexican, engineer
of mine No. 8, at Roslyn.
Joe Hovey, county coroner, and
Sheriff George Gray investigated and
found the bodies of German and his
wife in their car in their garage and
the children in bed. The wife's wrists
had been slashed.
No motive for the Staying had been
found by officers several hours after
the finding of the bodies. The letter
to Mexican limited that the crime had
been planned by both German and
his wife.

SANTA FE PACT
is ATTACKED IN
RIVER PARLEY

DENVER, Sept. ~ R-While the
Santa Fe compact of 1922 was being
made the object of barrage today,
precipitating a counter-fire in it's de-
fense, the Colorado river conference
as a whole rested on its arms and
checked it's many problems up to the
upper basin governors committee for
solution.
That committee now has the three
power proposals of the three states in
the lower basin as well as their water
plans meeting was scheduled to
be held tonight for consideration of
the propositions, the California power
proposal having been submitted at the
morning session.
New Mexico and Utah today refused
to be drawn into the power controversy
through move. by the Arizona dele
gates. Contending that a dam at
Glen canyon, in Arizona, would create
storage reservoir lying largely in
Utah, H. S. McCluskey Of Arizona re-
quested that Utah "sit. in" on a con-
ference of the lower basin states which,
finally, failed to materialize.
Replying on behalf of Utah, Gov
George H. Dern said his state would
remain on the side lines, and Francis
Wilson, New Mexico state engineer,
opined that New Mexico would not be
drawn into the conflict over either
power or water
A lengthy attack on the Santa Fe
compact by Congressman Edward T.
Taylor of Colorado on the grounds
that it does not protect the upper basin
states in the future development Of
| their power rights evoked an echo
few hours later when Wilson Of New
Mexico moved Chairman Dern to reply
! to Taylor through committee of five
for the record Governor Dern ap-
| pointed DELPHI Carpenter, Colorado;
! Congressman c. f. Winters, Wyoming;
Wilson, Ward Bannister, Colorado, and
w. w. Ray, Utah, to the committee.
Taylcr's attack contained the state
ment that the states would be de-
prived of their sovereign rights, and
that the Pittman states rights resolu-
! tion-introduced by United States
Senator Key Pittman Of Nevada
would give preferred rights to the
lower basin to the jeopardy of those
of the upper basin.
| Pittman made an equally lengthy
denial of the allegation, pointing out
that the Santa Fe compact made no
mention of the manner in which the
two basins should dispose of the water
allocated to them.
Prediction was made that the parley
! would dissolve this week, Congress
man Taylor declaring that he doubted
''verys much whether this conference
will effect agreements acceptable to

fights the same way, with tenacity,
his admirers say. Like Wheeler, he
makes friends easily. He mas done
most of his work-except for Wash
ington forays-in Arkansas, Texas,
Tennessee, Missouri and Louisiana.
The question is, according to lead
ers in the league, whether or not
Barton will accept Wheeler's job with
all its troubles and responsibilities.
Unless he declines or sentiment
changes, he will be elected to it In
December. His sentiments are not
now known. He has never been an
employe of the league and it may
be that he does not enjoy rough
and-tumble fighting as Wheeler did.
The league is talking over it's othe1
timber, of course-but always one
hears the pious question arise as
to whether such and such a man
would accept Most of the leagues
workers are men with moral urge
and sacrificial temperament; personal
ambitions are not necessarily pre-
dominant in them. An example was

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ). MONTAGUE
BY WAY OF PROTEST


CA Vienna physician says he has
found a way to create supermenl.
It's not my habit to extol
The so-called good old days;
For modern science, on the whole
I have but words of praise.
And yet 1 wax somewhat irate
When I read now and then
OF divers plans to propagate
A race of supermen.
In every race, in every game
Though eagerly we try
To win little wealth or fame
What chance have you and I?
Although our hearts are brave and
strong
We know that some fine day,
Some superman will come along
And snatch the prize away
We have no large and gorgeous
yachts,
No sumptuous motor cars
It's not to us that Fate allots
The fifty-cent cigars.
We long for these things now and
then
But very well we know
A few existing Supermen
Have grabbed them long ago.
They dominate the mill and mart
And commerce and finance,
They shine in literature and art
We do not stand a chance.
Why propagate more supermen
Of broad and lofty brow
And predatory habits, when
We've got too many now?
