Every nation at war" wants every one to' show Its hand before iteming about negotiations for peace. The Mexican currency iiTdepreclat- ing steadily and the situation generally is- about as bad as it can be. Denmark has ratified of the Danish West Indies to the United ftates. The vote Jn the Danish Folkething was 90 to 16 in favor of the transfer. Smallpox and typhus fever are epidemic in Sonora, 160 miles South o'f the border In Mexico.

Over 500 are reported from the Ures district. The will of the late John D. Arch- wld, president of tKe Standard Oil of New Jersey, divides one hundred millions between members his family. Sixty families were routed out fire at Shamokln in zero weather one night last week. The suffering of -women and children was intense before they could be relieved The Jewish-people of the Unltee States ate.

From What we know of people the American Jews will accept the responsibility and rise to the situation. No cause for stability of their race ever goes un- Jheeded. Heedless of warning, some Democratic congressmen have forced consideration of over thirty-three millions in appropriation for federal buildings, otherwise known as the House "pork barrel." The government expenses for 1918 will reach over one and a half billions unless a halt is called soon.

The cry all over the country from the people is for economy In public service, but the alleged statesmen refuse to heed it. The blizzard of last Friday was the worst storm In years. Railroad trolley traffic was impeded by the -snow, sleet, high winds and sudden to All trains were belated. The apple crop of Pennsylvania as -worth over eleven and a half millions of dollars last season There were nearly 17,000,000 bushels of -Which about barrels were i The talk of peace last week caused the stock market to slump. There tvas a rebound, however, when it became apparent that peace negotiations were not favored by the Allies present.

The total prohibition throughout 'Prance of the use of alcohol as -a beverage has been decided upon by the government The use of the term alcohol is understood not to include or beer. The State Educational Council at Altoona favored an increased state appropriation to schools from $15 to $18,000,000. It also favored the passage -of a'bill Co pension Representative J. Hampton Moore, Republican, of Pennsylvania, has introduced a bill which, If enacted, would give every retired President of the United States seat in the lower House of Congress, without vote, at a salary of $25,000 a year. Candidacy for any political office, however, would deprive a retired President of privilege or benefit under the proposed law.

This is only another of the many attempts made to find a satisfactory answer to the question. What shall be done with former Presidents? The theory is that Presidents should come from the ranks of the people, and in due course return to those lanks, taking their places like ordinary -citizens, without gain or loss by reason of having for a period served their countrj in the highest office it has to bestow. This theory is sound and essentially democratic. Why interfere with its operation at this late day? THE SEEAKEXSHIP. The average citizen looks on with a frown while the fight grows more bitter over the Speakership of the House at Harrisburg, The factions in desperation threaten "exposure' in the country fully realize that the contest is simpjv for political control in Philadelphia aiid Pittsburgh Henee we feel very httle interest and await with composure the threatened revelations.

Let them take off the lid'so that the people maj learn all about th wickedness of both bunches of politicians seeking control When it comes to the organization of ft -will perhaps be far better for the solidarity of the Republican party to select a Speaker of the House entirely free from scandals. There are plenty of such men in the country districts, men of ability and high character who are unbiased by citv jobbers and perfectly -fitted to insist 'on a 'isquare deal" for everj legislator who really has the highest interests of the people and state at to secure by armed Conflict what It could not secure by popular te The wAjf that followed was In- evltable, and It was Inevitable because It was necessary. Man comes forward with his everlasting "if." Man Is ever In the subjunctive mood. Tite-AImlghty never. It is beyond our ken to point out the good to the world that may come the reB ent war.

Begun by the Wind passions of men, it seemed useless in the beginning and appears fruitless in the end. The slaughter of millions and the wreckage of the work of ages seems wanton, and yet In the great plan of the Ruler of the Universe there may be a great- lesson ror humanity. Let us hope BO, and let us hope that the frightfulness of all this modern war and its tremendous agencies of destruction may lead' the nations of the to agree upon and maintain universal perpetual peace. of General Intent in This County. -r-Bav.

And we hope the House finally comes to its senses and elects him Speaker. The Republican majority in Pennsylvania may not alwajs be so large that tie leaders of factions can safely take chances by steering towards the reefs The result of this fool squabble may" end in the election of a Democratic Governor next 3 ear It is well to remember that the Republican plurality of in 1904 was followed two years later to tbe election of Berry as State Treasurer. And the same Berry will be the Democratic candidate for Governor next year The present factional fight Is disgusting to real Republican who loves his party and its principles. THE GREATEST OP GIFTS. Nineteen hundred and sixteen years ago there came to this world the Gift if the Ages.

No other gift ever came as this gift ame. It came without the pomp" or ircumstance that humanity has been ver wont to look for With a gift of great price. -Night'fell; day nd loJ the gift was there. Many centuries and many millions men have come and gone -since then. And many men who have passed as wise men among their kind have tound fault with this gift; not a few have denied even that it was a gift of any price.

It came so quietly, so simply and in such lowly state that men of intellect in every century have denied it te glory, the majesty and the miraculous power that It came to bring into the world. Yet no man has risen in all the 1916 jears to tell how better the gift might have come to bless man and mankind. And so millions and millions and tens of millions of humanity have accepted that gift as the most precious of all gifts, as the gift of all gifts, as throne gift worth more than all else that is in the world or has. been in the world, since the beginning. Many men who pass as wisp- men still turn away their faces as they did centuries ago.

They still deny that the gift of Bethlehem was any gift at all But they are to be pitied Their words, fall like withered grass. For the gift that they affect to despise and would cast away has become very truth the Light of the World--Jesus Christ, Light of the World--Jesus Christ, Light of Lights, Hope of Hopes, without whose presence darkness would again envelop the earth. His birth we celebrated on Monday. And, in this celebration, let us not forget that, though we were born with it and We live with it in spirit through the years, it is the One Gift compared with which all other gifts a re as nothing, even though, the was destroyed by fire a and Mr. Peterson in attempting to save some of the contents, narrowly escaped being A by 8mok The loss is about with J2.000 Insurance.

The Christian world hardlv needs to be told that war is a calamity seen from the purely humanitarian point of view. Indeed, most of the wars the world has seen bear all the aspects of wantonness, and-have been prosecuted for glory or-phinder The conquests of Alexander, the Poloppo- nesian wars and the wars of Napoleon Bonaparte seem to have had no higher object than personal aggrandizement If there was a great principles at stake in those enormous undertakings historv does not disclose it We are wondering what historv will reveal about the present turmoil in Europe. But it Would be useless to deny that war has contributed to the spread.of civilization and the conse quent progress of mankind Yet hu man progress appears to have been checked bv some of the wars of an tlquity. The wars waged the Ro mans were not undertaken with an 1 large-hearted object in most instanc es, but Rome planted a higher civil! zatlon wherever she planted her pasli standard. The conquests of Rome seem in the light of history to have prepared the western world for Christianity, and thus seem to have been according to th Divine Purpose To the contemporary peoples those wars must have seemed wanton But the Roman generals marched their lesions into savage lands and made the tribes acknowledge the supremacy of Roman civilization.

They aroused the Teutons and Goths to emiilnte their own adventurous deeds This was all In the nature of progress, though not to be rated verv hteh in these times. But we cannot criticise a people who gave less advanced peoples the best thev had. Coming down to modern wars, it is Impossible to rate them verv high as agencies, of civilization. But the Moslem wars did more to spread the arts and sciences than any of the wars the Roman propaganda. Time stood still during the Crusades The Moslems preserved the arts and sciences for the world How much we owe to the Moslems of what relates to medicine, to astrononn and to chemistry It Is almost a risk to sav.

But We certain'? do owe a great deal to the Moslem world. Mahomet undoubtedly checked the nrjroress of polytheism, and for that he must have credit. His airenVy was therefore not whollr evil, though Rovern- ed by fanaticism, As a rule the religious wars have the most cruel and least Jnstlfl- able. The wars of the Dark turned "bftjCk the hands of Time's dial Slngularlv as it my appear, the elvM wars which shook nearly every European stale, for four hundred years generally had more reason than the international conflicts What the present war is about nobody seems to know. Tbe civil war in this conntrjt- was for a principle.

Many thought It could be averted by arbitration Th-at -was tried fully and ntterl? fait- ed. There -ww nothing to arbitrate. Ths nlave power had been unhorsed and it fwolted the clearly WU! of the It FOOI LEGISLATION. When a man js sent to Hie legislature and fails to attract attention, either bj a disposition to work or by ability, he is apt to make a bid for the spot light by introducing freak bills that will get public notice by the sheer idiocy of its provisions. Such propositions as fixing legal dates for wearing straw hats, regulating tne length of sheets used on hotel beds, prescribing limits for the width and length of women's skirts and to prohibit, the use of face powder all come within the limits of fool legislation, and all these have been proposed in state legislatures.

Pennsylvania has been singularly free from such things, but with many new members the next House, who can-tell what maj happen to disgrace a which should be dignified and statesmanlike' The people will be disgustej if they see the time and money intended for serious business fooled away on frivolous things. In Massachusetts it was seriouslv proposed in the legislature to pass a law to prohibit doctors and dentists from wearing beards for sanitary reasons In Illinois a lawmaker sought to prohibit giving tips to barbers, etc and insisted on taxing bachelors a ear. In Colorado a bright legislator wanted to require bulls driven along the roads at night to Wear lights, he might have introduced a bill to compel chickens to go to roost at 7 Almost everj state legislature has its quota of bills Just as silh as the above Do jou wonder that people wjio do not laugh are indignant about the waste of time high-salaried legislators? To sit in the galleries and look over some bodies inhabiting the state houses vou wonder how they got there by popular votes. Tioga county citizens have always shown discrimination in selecting their representatives. As a rule they have been men of ability and dignity who have been leaders at Harrisburg diligent in business and frowning on frivolitv.
