A Missouri town is boasting that while it has had almost all the other visitations to which helpless communities are heir, up to date it has escaped having a half pint golf course. It took decades for the crime situation to revolve itself into the tangles of today, yet there are those who complain of the slowness of the crime commission because it has not solved the problem after a few months of stUdy. The press associations found the fact that Lucas had sent a Christmas card to Norris of sufficient importance to warrant transmission to all parts of the country. Few Christmas cards are dignified with so much publicity.

MERRY CHRItTMAS. Christmas is that season of the year when people permit, and encourage, the mixing of a religious ideal with their daily lives. It is always a pleasant experiment. Everybody feels good about it and the worse the mix up the better the feeling. And most people lament that the mixup does not last longer.

Yet few do anything about it. There is nothing cynical in this. It is just a plain statement of the situation. Along about the middle of December when decorations begin to appear on the streets, trees on the sidewalks and displays of gifts in the shop windows the so called Christmas spirit begins to make its appearance. People are less irritable in traific jams.

They shop in crowds into which they could never be inveigled at any other time of the year. They concentrate on the selection of gifts for others, on the dispensing of good cheer by means of greetings, and many take it upon themselves to see that less fortimate persons, whom they never give a thought at any other time of the year, are provided for. Imbued with the spirit the average citizen places his thumbs in the armholes of bis vest, throws out his chest and proclaims to the world, feel like a different man. I wish it would last But that is as far as it goes. At Christmas time he goes over the tracks with a basket and sees that the family he has heard about has a merry Christmas.

But during January and February he lets the Community Chest worry about this family. At Christmas he takes it upon himself to provide good cheer. Later on he even bother to find out if the chest knows the predicament of this family. it last? Because we do not go to the effort to make it last. Christmas requires a considerable outlay of energy and funds.

We go into the celebration of Christmas with the same enthusiasm and energy that we go into the celebration of the birth and other events. Our efforts are usually rewarded by a feeling of contentment and satisfaction. But it does not last because we look upon Christmas alone as the season of good fellowship and good cheer, and forget that such things are possible during the months that follow.

There are only two ways in which any person or group of men can gain such control, by eplitting profits with the politicians in power and by patronizing violators of law.

A PARTY CONFLICT. Senator Norris refuses to be banished from the republican party.

From this some might conclude that the senator has determined for the future to be an Independent republican rather than an insurgent. In the organization of the senate there is much at stake for the senator. He is now chairman of the much prized Judiciary committee. If the republicans control the organization and Norris maintains the status with the party that he had when the last organization took place he will remain at the head of that committee. If be loses caste with the party and the republicans succeed in organization and control, the question of his regularity might be a bar to his continuance in that place.

If he aids the democrats in organization he must deal with them for place. senate is no longer republican. as the people says Senator Wood of Indiana. political makeup la entirely nondescript. Senator Norris is not a republican.

He is not even a democrat. He is a consummate And that statement by Wood was considered by some to be an echo of the white house voice. Senator Norris crushed Listen to his familiar voice and judge: Hoover came from Great Britain a democrat, accepting office as a democrat. He remained a democrat until the republicans came in power and when he accepted office under the republicans he automatically became a republican. I have never found fault with that.

What are the prospects of my getting a job if I take a course in journalism? A. S. F. A. Marlen of the Editor and Publisher, says that 10,000, or perhaps 15,000 young Americans are preparing themselves this year for a career in some form of journalism, and that in his opinion the writing and editing profession will not absorb that number.

He adds that never in his experience has he encountered so many jobless newspaper men and women as at present.

A. The first legislation on the subject of compensation In the United States was a cooperative insurance law in Maryland in 1902. However, this law was declared unconstitutional in 1904. The first compensation acts were passed in 1910, but several of them were held unconstitutional that of New York by the famous Ives decision. The New York constitution was then amended and another law passed.

Congress in 1908 pased a law providing for a plan of compensation for accidents incurred by industrial employes of the United States. Q. How much radium is there now in the world? E. R. C.

Only a few are widely celebrated, for it is not the event of birth but what is done in after life that makes a natal day especially significant. For many generations Christmas has been joyously observed wherever there has been a vestige of western civilization because on that day was born one grew to be the only perfect man and became the savior of the world.

BULLS, BEARS AND VALUES. BROKEN 1922, a large flock of values were ranging on a grassy plain. Here they were joined by many bulls, who gradually edged these values up the foothills. By 1929, they were on the sides of a steep mountain. As every one knows, in the high mountains, there Is much timber and rocks.

This Is the favorite haunt of bears. One fine day in the autumn of 1929, many bears flocked out and attacked the values, starting them headlong dowa the mountain. A few of the tried to defend them, but finally lost heart when they saw many of their companion bulls slipping off their bull skins, and exposing underneath it a real bear, claws, teeth, and all. The bears followed dnd feasted upon the values, while the values retreated down the mountain side, across the plain, and into a very low country. Here the values came to a depression lake, where many of them sank, in the fall of 1930.

Bulls are now said to be gathering the scattered values for a return trip to higher ground. Winter is at hand. Must not the bears slip off their bearskins, claws and teeth and become bulls, or else hibernate? EDWIN F. MYERS. be created by local officials at local request.

It makes the going hard for them and for the community that must give relief or go to the expense of burying those who perish for want of food. In the cities of the far west.

AS well as those where walks are icy in the winter time, the souj of Christian philanthropy glows like a political bonfire at this time of year. As an example the San Francisco Chronicle is raising a fund for Christmas dinners for families In the city who otherwise know it was Christmas. Already the budget has totaled about $3.000, and more coming in every day. The same spirit I know prevails in Lincoln. Omaha and Sioux City, and I like to see it find expression in generous giving.

A five-year program for purchase of all leased property where rentals exceed $6,000 a year, in- upwards of $50.000,000, has been presented to congress for approval by the administration. President Hoover found it desirable to urge that project in his initial message to the present session of Congress. Certainly Maas started something. Where it will wind up nobody can tell, at least so far as existing leases are Senator Blaine promises sensations when his committee reports. But so far as the to do away with all major lea.ses in future in favor of government owned plants goes, it could hardly have been launched under more promising auspices.

The proposed bill provides for the establishment of county boards of public welfare to Another Opinion.

much ha.s been written by Hall (ind others re the Lindsey case that I feel that something might be said on the other side. After Bishop Manning had heaped unfair, indecent and ignorant abuse upon Judge Lindsey from the pulpit and when the judge attempted to reply to the tirade of the bishop, members of the fashionable congregation of Christians assaulted Judge Lindsey, kicked and hit him from behind and cried in they staged a mob scene against one lone man trying to get a fair hearing when he had been publicly abu.sed. Judge Lind.sey had sought by letters and telegram to the bishop for fair and courteous treatment in this advertised sermon or lacking that to have an opportunity to defend himself. The bishop replied by asking for po lice protection and detectives were stationed about the church. How- it w'as not this Christian congregation nor this Chri.stian bishop that needed the protection.

The Christians were the ones that displayed the mob spirit and the police had to protect Judge Lindsey. Judge Lindsey fell into the hands of Christians. He thought he could get a fair hearing from Christians his mistake. The judge now realizes that Christian fanaticism is incompatible with fair play, and that Christians when ex- clted by morality and piety are not capable of common decency ward one whose views are different than theirs. His offense was.

it is said, that he interrupted Bishop prayer. Tha judge probably liidn't recognlza the mummery a.s a prayer. If the bishop wanted a real subject for prayer he should have prayed that he and his con- I gregatlon be raised above the evil passions of fanaticism. I GEORGE WEST. Gas Tax Exemption.

time ago you published in your paper an article headed Tax Exemption to Bother Now just why should we farmers pay this This tax is in the nature of a toll collected for the purpo.se of repairing of damages done in using highways or the extending of such highways. Now how can anyone by any logic see any connection between the man operating his machinery, growing and harvesting the crops, that the very prosperity of this state depends upon, aiyl the man using the highways; True, vve sometimes get on th-' highways with our tractor, but do we lio so with hor.se machinery, with cattle, hog sheep, etc. Are the highways of more benefit to the rural dweller than the rest of the pepole In the that he should make this extra contribution to the road fund? We think not. Is it not just as important to tho business interests to have highways on which the country folks can get to him and buy his wares, and incidentally have something left to pay for these goods. Our neighboring states have recognized the justice of a law giving such exemption on gasoline used for farm power purposes and how any fair minded person can object to it is more than we understand.

That the exemption, if granted, would equal an lnrrea.se of one cent per gallon additional tax is the worst indictment the opponents of this that could had. They thereby admit that they have sanctioned the collection of millions of dollars that should have been spent for other things, in many cases the necessities of life, from a source wholly apart, and in addition to what any other class is paying, which is nothing short of criminal, and frolfi a group of people whose economic plight is the concern of.the whole nation. Yes. the legislature will he as The Journal puts it, but we are only asking what shouUl have been done long ago, equality in taxation, and we trust that there are enough fair minded members in that body to see the justice of our contentions and give us relief. Why not bum kerosene? pay the tax kerosene just as we do on gas; there is a relative spread between the two and immediately after the incren.se in the gas tax enhancing the price of that fuel, the price of kerosene also rui.se»! by just that amount, so pay the tax on kerosene to the companies and the gas tax to tho state.
