Nothing in rncont months has
created as much surprise a the Iden
tical notes sent by President Wilson
to the different nations now engaged
In the conflict in Europe. The stir
rise is all the more complete, as ft
follows closely on tho tentative peace
propowi! made by the Gorman kaiser,
Tir.d transmitted throiitfht the aid of
or diplomatic cbunnels to the other
belligerents. Through Che secre
tary of state, the pretddeut makes 'II
clear that neither the recent propos
al of the l:r.Is r or the speech of the
, JSngllnh prime, minister, has iony
thlng to do with its promulgation,!
but that, it has been under way and I
condidri'Jon for some time.
Throughout tho note, ami between
"tho r"",f can be read the growing
impatience nf (hat portion of the
world ulill neutral, and particularly
In our own country as representing
tho largest and most powerful
4f them, at the continuance of this
tcrrihlo struggle, and while no ten
der Is made to art nn mediator, the"
inference Is left that it Is time for a
halt to ho called. The frank admis
sion of tho recretary of state that
-we &re "drawing nearer to tho verge
of war" und that "the situation i:l
1ieconing intolerable," places a new
.aspect on conditions nnd one of
which no hint was given up to now,
nd this being the case, it is tho
It was such passing events as oc
curred in the office of the county
Judge this morning, that adds to the
pleasures of life and cements the
bunds of friendship, it wub the oc
casion of presenting a murk of es
teem to a retiring official by all the
other officials, chiefs and subordin
ates, with whom he has been In close
contact for a number of years, the
recipient bing Harry E. Plukston,
who has been an able, honest and
competent commissioner of Douglus
county during the past four years,
and who declined the endorsement of
the voters and his party for another
term. During his Incumbency of this
important office, Mr. PInkston has
not been a mere figurehead, for his
capacity tur hard work, his sagacity
in business matters and his progres
sive conception of the needs of the
people of his county, have been of
inestimable worth to his fellow of
ficials, and much of the splendid con
structive advancement of the county
is due to suggestions and initiation i
his part. Ills many friends
throughout the county, regardless of
political affiliation, sincerely trust
that the beautiful and expensive cane
presented him today may not be
needed for many years to come, to
support the infirmities which come
with old ago, and that ft will ever be
a reminder of the kindly feeling to
ward him of the many donors.
In your exhuberance and Joyous
ness over the charity dispensed at
this special season of the year, do
not crowd all your efforts In the
space of one day, remember there Is
want and hunger and sorrow In the
days following, where some of the
surplus or duplication of today will
be appreciated.
There are eviduntly too many
present and prospective owners of
aulos among the members of the
Douglas County Taxpuyura League,
to be caught in the neat little snare
prepared by Hob Smith, in which a
tax of one dollar was to be as:ici:soti
on each horsepower used in the ma
chine. When the resolution was in
troduced so as to get the opinion of
the meeting on It, the verdict was a
unaivimoim refusal to go on record
as being in favor of the move. Some
other means will have to be invent
ed to help keep down the taxes of
the big timber barons.
II might ha well to Issue the usual
warning again about tho reckless use
of lighted tapers nnd caudles on the
highly inflammable Christmas trees.
Tor it may be the means of prevent
ing a tragedy which would turn the
joyous occasion into one of gloom
and sorrow. A tittle extra care, a
trifle jintore caution will cost but
small effort, hut It may save both life
and property.

After the holidays every merchant
will find some lines broken, and
merchandise which he will want
to close out at the earliest possible
moment. This can be acomplished
by judicious advertising. People
read advertisements that are well
written and changed frequently.
