Objections Voiced
WASHINGTON, Dec 21. The
first, eotresslonal reaction to the
plans of the interstate commerce
commission on railroad consoli
dation came today In a declara
tion of opposition to details of the
plan from two senators from the
west.
Consolidation of the flreat
Northern ami Northern Pacirie
railroads as proposed in the plan
would be a "great calamity" for
the northwest. Senator Wheeler,
democrat. Montana, asserted.
Presenting the eommlsslon'H re
port, for incorporation in tho con
gressional record, Wheeler said
that tho two northwestern lines
were competing roads and he add
ed be would vigorously oppose any
attempt to link them into n single
system.
Senator Plttman, democrat Ne
vada, nlun opposed the unification
of the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern saying It would af
ford no reduction In freight rates
on farm products, minerals and
lots, which he said make up the
chief freight of tho northwest.

Federal Soldiers' Home Needed
(Portland Oregonian)
Provision of a federal soldiers' home, open to veterans
of all wars, on the north Pacific coast is due to the veterans
of this region, and the state soldiers' home at Roseburg isn
appropriate nucleus. When the government established
homes for civil war veterans, it recognized an obligation
which it has since extended to veterans of Indian wars and
which applies equally to veterans of the World war.
As the country's defenders grow old or as their disabil
ities increase, many of them find the need of a comfortable
home. Their families die or scatter or are unable to care for
them and pensions may be too small to support them. The
most considerate and at the same time most practical way to
provide for them is. to establish homes to which they may
go at will, live in common and enjoy the pleasures of com
radeship. The only national soldiers' home on the Pacific coast
is at Sawtelle, Cal., far removed from Oregon and Wash
ington. The government should provide a home at Rose
burg. adjacent to the state soldiers' home, where veterans
may live within reasonable distance of their old homes and
old neighbors, and which will be open to veterans of the
Spanish and World wars as well as to those of former wars.
FLOWERS
and Gardens
Iiy CHAliLES A. BRAND
Outdoor Christmas trees and Il
luminated gardens and yards have
captured the imagination of the
grown people as the twinkling
lights of the Indoor Christmas tree
have enthralled the imagination
of the children. We may not all be
lieve in fairies but we all love
fairyland and the lights of Christ
mas make fairyland wherever they
are. The Roseburg Business and
Professional Women's club has of
fered a prize for the best il
luminations In Roseburg this year
and we should all go and see them
and wonder at them and fpel the
1 spell of them and be children
again just for Christmas.
There will be more Christmas
fairylands next year. It seems to
work so. Portland's display this
year will be Rs greatest. So it is
nil over the country. The story of
one mans garden in the small
Massachusetts town of Saugus is
worth telling. The man is Mr. H.
A. B. Peckham. a tax consultant
with offices In Boston. I Jndse him
to be one of those men who never
quite grow up no matter how old
they are. Right years ago he be
gan his Christmas illumination
with ten strings of colored lights
on the trees In his lawn. People
flocked to see it. Rach year since
it has increased. The trip to Sau
gus has become an annual excur
sion into fairyland for thousands
of people. There are four acres of
ground around Mr. Peckham's
home and last Wednesday night
twenty-five thousand Christmas
lights of all the colors of the rain
bow flashed on all over the place.
There are seventy great living
Christmas trees, a pergola, an il
luminated court of honor and a
great bright star in the sky over ft
all mysterious, beautiful, almost
supernatural.
Last year the traffic congestion
was so serious on all the roads to
Saugus that this year the Boston
and Maine railroad Is running- spe
cial evening trains to Mr. Peck
ham's aardens. As you read your
paper tonight there are ten thou
sand people looking with -wonder
and delight at this Christmas
fairyland. Let's not quite grow up
and become too practical and
stingy and dull. It Is Christmas
time.
Boston people are funny. I mean
the rest of the country thinks they
are funny. They think Boston chil
dren are all born with great, horn
rimmed spectacles on and that
they learn to read Browning be
fore thev learn to use a handker
chief. They think of thp adult Bos
tonlan as a person with a very
high brow and a sharp nose and n
mind debauched with learning, one
whose diet consists largely of
Phone 240

beans. As a matter of fact, Boston
people are funny, but they are fun
ny In another way. They are Ideal
lsts and they delight in it. The
milk of human kindness has not
been sterilized by the rush for
money. Here is an illustration of
It that will probably make you
smile. There are 7,500 work horses
In Boston. Every year the boclety
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals has a Christmas tree for
horses in Postofflce Square. It is
an old custom. And next Tuesday,
the day before Christmas, the
things that correspond to peanuts,
popcorn and candy on the horse
menu will be given to each horse
that visits the tree. And there will
be presents for all the drivers.
There are to be doughnuts and
coffee and other things to eat, and
a valuable little book entitled
"Cam and Treatment of the Horse
In Health and Disease', will be
be given to each driver. When
the laugh about horses' neckties
and bedroom slippers is over, isn't
It worth while, this kindly Christ
mas thought for one of the noblest
of our dumb animals?
One can't be sour at Christmas
time, or critical or exclusive or
Pharisaical. Who cares whether a
man belongs to any club or church
or lodge? There is no social or re
ligious "four hundred" when the
Christmas spirit gets In its work.
One of the finest poems of Rdwiu
Markham whom Oregon claims as
her owu poet is Just four lines
long. It Is worth memorizing, and
fine to end this bed-time story
with. You know all bed-time stor
ies should end with some fine,
happy thought that will stay in the
chihi's mind and do it good while
It sleeps. This Is the poem:
"He drew a circle which shut me
out
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to
win:
We drew a circle that took him
in."
