Talk of the Times Let the Light Shine Out On Christmas Eve IN OLDEN days, there was a legend to the effect that the placing of a lighted candle in the window of a home on Christmas eve would bring happiness during the ensuing year. In our belief, there is no prettier Christmas custom than letting the light shine out on Christmas eve.

Nothing is more inspiring on Christmas eve than to walk along the streets and sec lighted candles in contented and happy homes throwing their rays to the world outside. In a recent issue of The Living Church an article written by Georgiana Sibley tells of the work of John Henry Stedman of Rochester, New York, who inaugurated this Christmas custom. Mr. Stedman spent a large part of his time telling people all over the world about this lovely custom. He issued a leaflet and with its aid he helped to light Christmas eve candles in tens of thousands of homes in the United States, from the humblest cottage to the White house itself, as well as in India, France, England, Canada and Japan.

Certain fire insurance underwriters have sent out a warning against the use of Christmas candles. This warning should be carefully regarded, Miss Sibley' said, but, Mr. Stedman was always happy that during the time in which he corresponded with friends all over the world, he never heard of any fire, however small, originating from this custom. And so, Lei the light shine out from Madison iiomes on Christmas eve this year. Trade Unionists Exceed the Lawyers in British House of Commons 7 1 '7 never stayed long in one place.

Her natural ability and beauty soon gave her a place of prominence on the stage. In 1912 she appeared in David Belascos important production of Madame Butterfly, her first role being a mixture of Japanese and American. Her next role was that of Little Hal, the son of the Squaw Man, with William Faversham. It so happens that her role in The White Frontier is also that of an alien. She plays the role of an Indian girl.

DEFENDS THE PROHIBITION DEPARTMENT. To the Editor I was very much pleased at your crusade against the Madison moonshiners and trust that the results will be beneficial. Deeply regret, however, that you have turned your guns upon the state prohibition commission. I would not condone any of the offenses, mentioned in your columns, of which the state prohibition commissioner or his deputies may have been guilty. I do know, however, that the record of this commission during the past year and a half has been one of exceptional efficiency.

I have marvelled at the number of arrests made and convictions secured by this handful of men, and at the courage, persistence' and sagacity with which they have Whether in the slums of Milwaukee, Little Italy in Madison, Little Kentucky is Forest county or in any other part of the state, they have made their raids and arrests with no undue show of force and with scarce the firing of a gun. I cannot see how any twelve men could do better. Until your recent crusade stirred the police department into activity, the state officers were the only ones who made any arrests in and around Madison. The failure to curb moonshine and bootlegging in Wisconsin does not lie with the state prohibition commission, ncr with the efficient force of federal officers who have been operating under Director Stone, but with the court? which have failed to impose adequate penalties. What incentive is there or any officer to risk his life iu arresting a moonshiner when he knows that the most the moonshiner will get i.

a fine of two or three hundred dollars, and will be right back at his nefarious occupation? 1 know that some of the men making up the state force are not above reproach. I have had complaints and information which would have justified me in opening up on them long ago; but when I noted the records of these men, and saw the way they were bringing the moonshiners and booze sellers before the bar of justice and convicting them, I left my complaints and information resting in the files. Termit me to say that I think it would have been the part of wisdom had you done likewise. I regret very much that any of the prohibition deputies should lay themselves thus open to criticism, but when they can round up a bunch of Kentucky moonshiners, who have sworn to shoot on sight any prohibition officer, and take them into court, I can forgive and forget a whole lot. But I cant forgive and forget the judge who lets these same moonshiners off with a fine so small that it is not even a joke.

Turn your guns on some of these judges, Mr. Editor, and lets see if we cant wake them up. William C. Dean. OR the first time in 50 years, the legal profession is not the occupation of a majority of members of the House of Commons.

It all cime about because of the following letter to Mis3 Piekford from Hilda Grenier, formerly in the service of the present queen of England and now a resident of Altadena, Calif. Having read in the paper, Mrs. Grenier wrote, that your next picture, Dorothy Vernon, includes Mary, Queen of Scots in the cast, I thought perhaps you would be interested to know that I have a' replica of the favorite ornament worn by that important queen, and should be very happy either to lend it to you for use, or to be copied for your new picture. The ornament is not for sale as it was given to me by the present Queen of England, to whom 1 acted as a dresser prior to my marriage.

I am always so interested in the details of the pictures I see, particularly so in'any historical ones.

Remember the Birds and the Squirrels ANOTHER worthy' custom is to remember the birds and dumb animals at Christmas time. In Norway', where Christmas is observed for a week, sheafs of grain are hung out each yrear for the birds. True, we only have the sparrows and a few robins here over winter but why not remember even the lowly sparrow at Christmas. Our Madison friends, the squirrels, should be remembered. Leave a few of the Christmas goodies where these chattering and mischievous friends of ours can reach them.

Lets go! Our Last Wor! on Health THE NEED OF TIMBER To the Editor We often see articles in our daily papers in regard to the destruction of our timber, and also the animals and birds. But no one seems to heed and the merry war goes on. Capitalists, labor, and the consumer are all to blame. But the greater blame rests on law-makers years ago. In turning over millions of acres of timber and mineral lands that belonged to all the people, into the hands of a few.

Now' we begin to feel the Joss, and it will be greater as time goes on till it will be unbearable. Then something will be done regardless of cost. If we are to have timber for the next 100 years, our policy must change. A tree must be planted for every one cut. State parks must be had, not small and well ordered but large and kept as Nature planted it.

Farmers must stop plotting every acre they have in cultivated land. Timber ten rod3 wide all along the streams and lakes. Oh, it is a dream, is it? Well, if that dream wont come true, old Wisconsin will go backward, and eventually to ruin. We have dry spells now that ruin more or less crops every year which were unheard of forty years ago. Sand drift has covered clay farms two feet deep in places in central Wisconsin, which would not have happened.

China and Korea are suffering from drought, floods, and poverty on account of the destruction of their forests, and we Cant see the hand writing on the wall. Iowa and Minnesota forty ago were plains. One could look a far as eye had vision, but now the groves around the homes make it look, as if the farms were cut out of the forest Todaj if every farmer would start raising choice timber in twenty years he would find it a paying investment, and the state ought to cut out the taxes, and it would give our wild animals and birds a chance.

FROM CHIPPEWA FALLS To the Editor All good, honest people up in this neck of the woods that I have interviewed are proud of the way you are going after the law-breakers, especially those that are appointed by the governor to see that the law is enforced. You are right when you say these fellows are breaking down the progressive cause. They are doing more they are causing contempt for all laws.

Why dont these fellows hurrah for the constitution now as they did a few years ago. You are also right when you say La Follette would not stand for those things 48 hours, for well do I remember when he cleaned up Hurley, Wis. He ousted the sheriff, district attorney and others that did not do his full duty to enforce law and order. He would as you Say do the same today. lie would not as you say condone law-breaking for a minute.

But judging from the men Gov. Blaine has appointed as officers here in Chippewa county to serve the state you cant expect much morality or respect for law. The first one he appointed for state oil inspector was an ex-I)emocrat editor that turned his paper, the Chippewa Independent, over to the power company when the City of Chippewa Falls was to vote on taking over the city water works and they beat us 90 votes, but next election when they did not have that paper's support we acquired the water plant. The second one Blaine appointed was a man that two years ago did everything he could to beat the progressive--. He ran for State as a Stalwart.

He put him on the board of medical examiners. The third he appointed as local oil inspector for this district. He is a man that never did anything but run billiard halls and dance pavilions. He did not cross the street to get a vote for the progiessives. If all the other appointives through the state are like these you cant expect any respect for law enforcement.

It seems Gov. Blaine thinks there are no common plugs bg enough to sign a voucher or receipt to draw a salary from the state and that is abcAit all some of these fellows aie doing. There are some people that mis-j ulge Hon. Bob La Follette just because he voted against the prohibition amendment. They think he is in favor of the drink traffic.

I can assure vou he is not, hut be was elected to repre-ert he knew if the su.i t' Scand'navlans and Irish and Fiuun in our state had voted on that question Were a nation, free from hate, Iets go! We can keep it strong and great. Lets go! Land of freedom, land of mirth. Happiest land upon the eaith. Let us show her what were worth, Lets go! (Copyright, 1922, by Edgar A. Guest) y) EASarGCGussb The most distressing condition today is the lack of understanding between England and America.

It is too. bad and could easily be remedied if the nations could only get to know each other better. Then they would understand each other. Such was the comment of Noel Femberton-Billing, former member of the British parliament, just before be sailed for England recently. I wish it were a rule, said Femberton- Billing, that every senator, before he could qualify as such, must have spent at least three months in the home life of England and that every member of parliament would have spent that much time in America.

That would do away with the bitter wrangling between the rations. Surely, there must be a better understanding if we would have permanent peace and friendship between England and America. What do you think of how dry we are over here? he was asked. Blithely, the debonair Englishman replied: I have made several trips to America since prohibition went into effect, and my heartfelt reply is: Day by day, in every way, your bootleg is growing better, cheaper, too, and easier to procure. But, honestly, why i3 prohibition? What good has it done America? It has made secret drinkers and hip carriers of people who never drank before.

It seems to me it has put liquor Jnto the class with all forbidden fruit, and therefore made it infinitely more desirable. It seems utterly reprehensible to me. It is like having the kingdom of one's -oul invaded by comic opera agitators. I foresee the end of prohibition in America soon. The Volstead act does not seem to have abolished liquor or even brought about moderation in drinking.

It has put it on the top shelf, but it Is accessible to most people. It is like putting a plaster on a running sore it does not heal but hides. The aim of prohibition is adm ralle, but the perfect state will never be reached by-repression, but by good example." -Heailhr Pulls Gun the dead. The futures looking mighty bright, Lets go!
