REAL GOOD WILL

With Christmas only little more than
week away, it might not be amiss again
to remind readers of the advisability of
doing what they can to ease the heavy
burden borne by clerks and merchants
at this period of the year.
The final week before Christmas is al
ways time of extreme activity. Clerks
in stores must of necessity put in long
and busy hours, and being human, they,
like the rest of us, appreciate considera-
ton which will help to make their work
little easier.
1t is hard to be patient all day when
one has to deal with scores of all sorts
of people. Nerves and tempers are bound
to be somewhat frayed toward the end of
the business day. Waiting until the last
moment and then pestering the clerk
with needless questions and demands, is
not showing consideration-it is not even
being courteous.
Post office and express clerks will ap-
preciate cooperation by the public, which
will prevent them from being swamped
with a deluge of parcels at the close of
the business day. 1t is just as easy for pa
irons to dispatch their parcels early in
the day and much easier for the clerks
The post office has decided to follow
out last years plan, making no deliveries
on Christmas day in order to give clerks
and carriers the day at home with their
families
This could also be done throughout
most business lines, if the public could be
persuaded to cooperate Needed sup
plies could be purchased in sufficient
quantity to carry families over the holi-
day so that practically all could spend
the day as it should be spent--in the
home.
The good will we associate with Christ
mas can be expressed in no better way
than by being considerate and courteous
with the other fellow.

We don't like to be pessimistic, but al
ready the Beesemyer case is taking on
the appearance of being zone of those

By that term we mean it is something
over which there is considerable hula
balloo when it, occurs, stirring demands
that justice must be done, on the part
Of the press, and assurances that it will
be, on the part of those responsible for
enforcing the law.
Then begins a period of disillusion-
ment, which winds up with the culprit
being given slap on the wrist as punish
ment for his offense This period is
marked by documents mysteriously dis
appearing, lengthy squabbling over tech
nical legal points, accusations of jury
tampering, mistrial, hung jury and

is even mildly punished, it occurs so lone

TROUBLE IN SPAIN

Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown"
King Alfonso XIII of Spain probably
realizes more keenly now than ever be-
fore, the truth of the old saying.
Trouble, brewing in Spain for long
time, reached the boiling point last week
when revolution broke out in the Pyre-
nees, only to be quickly squelched by
strong government force. =
Hardly had the governments announce
ment. that the revolt had been halted
been received until rebellion famed up
anew, and this time right in the capital
and among the most progressive branch
of the army-the aviation corps.
The revolving flyers were led by Maj
Ramon Franco, flying idol of the Span
ish people, recently imprisoned for po-
litical agitation, but who fled his prison
shortly after being locked up. The sec
ond revolt struck snag when the artil-
lery refused support it had promised to
the aviators, forcing the latter to cross
the border to Portugal and temporary
safety. fs
Alfonso, never strong king, has been
popular because of his democratic man.
ner. He is prepared, according to re-
ports, to flee Spain if necessary and
would doubtless seek a sanctuary in Eng
land, the home of his queen.
Franco and his companions declare the
revolt will eventually succeed and re-
publican form of government adopted.
The tendency has been toward republi-
canism for the past 20 years and only the
strong methods used by the late Primo
Rivera in proclaiming martial law on two
occasions, saved the government.
In event republic is established it
will not be new thing for Spain, a re-
public having existed for short period
prior to the accession of the present
kings father, Alfonso XII.
