MORE I.KJIIT THAN DARKNESS.
At Christmas time It la customary
to eniiiliuslo the virtues of ikjiiio mid
good will, nut only among Indivi
dual but between nation una nuuon
unci that la well. Hut there Ik
no disputing tho fact that not for
many years have International poli
tics been so forbidding as they are
at the present tlmo.
There Is civil war In China, with
no telling what the end will bo;
savage war between Italy and Tur
key, nniiryl Reeling, nrtHtrust and
jealousy between Germany and Kng
luud, and unpleasant and unsatisfac
tory relations between this country
and Russia over the Jewish question,
and friction botweon Russia and
Persia. Truly conditions are grave.
Yet It would be foolish to tuk3 a
pessimistic view of things. In spite
of much to cause anxiety there la
also much to cheer and impiro con
fidence, and this feeling Is Increas
ed when one compares present con
ditions with what prevailed n cen
tury ago, Progress toward universal
peace Is slow but It Is sure. The
Christ spirit Is being diffused more
and more und the world Is every
day becoming a better place in which
to llvo.
Even In the present conditions re
ferred to there Is much that Is hope
ful. Although no one can tell with
certainty the outcome In China, yet
In all probability It will make for
enlightenment and liberty with their
consequent blessings. As to Ger
many and Qreat Hrltain the crisis
hua passed and although tho rela
tions are yet strulned, time, patience
nnd wise statesmanship will cause
the angry passions to cool and be
succeeded by a better understand
ing. War between the United
States and Russia is unthinkable,
and doubtless the latter country will
in time give up her obnoxious dis
crimination against American Jews.
Even tho conflict In Tripoli - must
soon cease us tho pressure exerted
upon the combatants by neutral pow
ers Is more fully displayed.
So, then, regrotable ns many
things are, there Is more light than
darkness, more of poaco than war,
more good will than estrangement
and, without reservation of any sort,
lieoplo may sing their Christinas car
oIh, enjoy tho blessings of the seas
on, and faco tho coining year with
hope and certainty.
tlTTLE CHRISTMAS CHEER.
Yesterday n big husky tramp wan
dered down Main street, and passing
a place In the stroet where somo
children had been playing, he noticod
two hnlf-eaten apples In the filth
and dirt of tho street. No one hap
pened to bo passing along the street
at that time, so he slipped out to
tho curb, nnd stooped down, picked
up the remains of the apples, wined
them off, and slipped them Into his
pocket, evidently Intending to cat
them luter. It happened that a resi
dent along the street wbb looking
out of the window (a woman, of
course) ana witnessed tho action.
8he told her husband about It, and
both oro wondering It thoro Is nnv
need for anyone In Hnseburg at this
imrlsunns time to pick up food out
of the gutter, and whether or not
this man was really so hungry that,
he could not pass thoao two hnlf-
enten apples in tho II It It of the atrrat,
Tho man was apparently able-bodied,
and why he should choose to satis
fy lils hunger us above, Instead of
working and living docentlv, Is one
of the mysteries of life. If ho was
hungry, willing to work, nnd was
driven to that kind of food, It Is n
sad comment on Rosehurg's citizen
ship. Hut In nil probability, he, like
many wanderers, prefers to pick
food from tho gutterB miliar .than
make a determined offnrt to secure
It by manual labor. What a tenip-
uuion tne many windows of Rose
burg must be to such a man, with
their displays of good things to eat.
Still how little excuse there Is for
any man to llvo In such n manner,
and how Utile Christinas cheor there
must ho In this hobo's heart.
The old saying Is true that "heav
en helps them that help them
selves." but unfortunately there are
people so Inr.y that they want heav
en or their wives to do all tho work.
These are certainly great tluew.
Even t'nelo Sum Is "making Rood"
1n the postodlco department all de
ficits tho past your being overcome.
The Christmas spirit Is abroad-
especially In Roseburg. Tho stares
have been crowded and merchants
report a splendid business.
The poor are with us always, and
thoro Is no better time than Christ
mas to lighten tho henrts of these
uuioruiiiaie ones.
Th campaign thunder will soon
commence to roll.
