Thoro wcro Merry ChristmaHos on Coos Uny when tho main settle ment was nt Umpire, and tho lead ing, citizens lived In slab uhacks nnd log cabins. Old timers can ho found who will toll you that tho merriest times ovor scon on Coos Uny woro in thoso dnys. Tho whole- sccrot of living Is hoop ing up tho Illusions of childhood. Cities should recnll tho Joys of vlllago beginnings, and old peoplo tho warmth and good cheer of youth. In nny event lot us all bo morry and light-hearted on Christians Day. It costs no more than doing tho othor thing, and It adds greatly to tho comfort of others besides bring ing Its compensations to us. . A MKHUV OIIMSTMAS CIIIUSTMAS DAY And it camo to pass in thoso days, 'that thoro wont out a docreo from Caesar Augustus, that all tho world should bo taxed. And all went to hbp taxed every ono Into his own city.

' ' " Tho cortuinty of tho ultlnmto domolltlon of nutocratlc power was with tho granting of tho Magna Charta, bo burned Into tho conscloncouess ot humanity, that tlionceforth ovory throno wns menaced nnd thoro emerged Id tho 'open uprjh tho 'plains of tho world tho Bklrmlshora and thondvnuco ghnrd of tho yet unnwnkoncd hosts of domocracy. Thoy woro dorldod as dreamers nnd visited with derision and with chains, with thnt lonollness 'thnt has besot tlio path of ovcry ludopondent thinker that has raised his volco against arbitrary power bIiico human government began. With tho dlscovory of America camo a new Bplrlt Into tho world. Iloro tho Initiative and daring of tho Individual man, not satisfied with tho con quoBt of n primltlvo world ot unturo, stormed tho cltadols ot nccoptod doctrlno nnd authority In government. Fighting steadily on they mudo a reality of tho dream of tho conturles, launching n nation that should substitute for raco hatreds, race amalgamation; for nrbltrary powor, tho doctrlno of tho equality of man, and to which, it wnr camo, tho gong chould bo Bounded, not from tho palaces' to build tho renown ot a king, but from tho ranks ot tho people, who glvo tho lives nnd tho trensuro that aro its Inovltnblo toll. Wars camo, but not ono had Its origin In n dcslro for national aggrandise ment. Let us thank God for that. Tho world had scon tho loglous of Rome traversing tho highways ot an emplro nt tho bidding of a Consar nthlrst for conquest; it had scon tho. eagles of Franco screaming nt tho gates of tho capitals ot Europe, fired by tho glory of dominion; It had soon tho shining helmots ot tho Prussian lancors hanging in tho palaco of Ver sailles, becnuso Bismarck choso to cement tho unity ot tho Gorman Em plro by an appeal to tho sword. I But never had it seen a war liko unto that of 1861-G5 for the preser vation on our llttlo globo tho Ideal of domooracy, to sottlo tho question whethor, ns Lincoln put It, n government bo conceived must either bo too strong for tho liberties of tho peoplo, or too weak to maintain its own In tegrity. Democracy triumphed, and then at onco nroso tho question whethor nny rcoplo could maintain an animus, an outlook on life, foreign rotations and Internal development that should riso In spiritual tono to tho high lovol that was our admitted goal. Medievalism, Jealous and corrupt, hold In its grnsp an island ot the sea, lying almost In sight of our shores. Tho cries of an oppressed peoplo wevi waft d rpc.i tho soft breezes of tho Gulf to, American ears and hen f ""ae.'o cavld bo but ono result. A llttlo sister republic rescued at gnat ccst from tyrannic powor and blddon to cultlvato hor garden in penco and tnko her place In tho great sisterhood ot Amorlcan ropubllcs. A nation ot tho Orient, great in history, but backward In development, was threatened with Internal violence and crime. At tho cost of millions to our government peaco was restored, and our great blundering ststor with tho yellow skin was handed with our best wishes n full roloaea for the trensuro we had contributed to her restoration. An archipelago in tho Pacific swarming with natives in transition from wild to civilized manhood has been rescued from savagery and tho world has Jlstoned In wonder to our declaration that tho hundreds of millions (wo, have spent In no wise control our ultimate and declared purposo to glvo tfljUio, Philippines organized, free self government. A peoplo on tho southern border holding a land unmatched In riches nnd n opportunity for exploitation, has found our nation untemptod by tho Jewel lying at Its feet, and bout only on helping to establish an orderly free government, for tho peoplo of Mexico. And the nations of tho old world, answering to tho ancient dovlces -at tjHtqeraJJc j0,ypr,',rncp hatred, suspicion and plans fop territorial aggran disement, nro in tho throes of a death struggle whoso trail of human sac rifices, material desolation and aching hearts beggars description. And as these struggling (natlons pause to take breath wo find them fraptlcally appealing1 for the fdvorablo Judgment of a people recognized by all na- tlpns as proceeding alpng a path which thoy would so long to tread, And with' hn outlook bit llfo; and tho functions of government that Justify and bring to fruition all' tho so-called dreams, and glvo meaning to all the sac rifices of our patriots ot tho years gone by. So tlmt,for which we labored is not a mere dream nftor nil. Today it Is tho greatest fact In civilization. They are looking to us from tho des olated 'f i bills .am) cltes ot tho continent, from tho confines ot all oppress ed peopjes,. frp,in.,t,lje stumbling chaos of tho Orient, from tho plains and forests of the Southern Hemisphere, from tho bleak steppes of Russia, and best of all.
