If w stop and think we can mdily nee that the community that pulls together will do more and accomplish better result than the one that in always divided.

Let' dot little think- the Government has hwn riding millions investigating kinds uf big business until business gem-rally is nfraid of government. Why should not htsiness take hold of govern ment and do some investigating nifd And out why taxes are so otitragpouHly high? "'hy should n$t the state government bv re iiairud like the counties to pub liph in all the newspapers just what it is doing? Why should not a budget of the expenditures of the different departments be made public to show just whut they do with the money? It is stated that officials collect $06$. 000 in ffos that are not nwcounj. ed for. ranging from $20,000 for labor Ui $140,000 for game, The time has come for a thorough overhauling of the functions and functionaries and institu tions and see what thev do with the money.- Industrial News Rpreau.

They preferred to call in tho old law of might to nc- comt) ish for them nn unfair sot tlcmcnt. nnd so invoked tho same god that, ruled in tho stone age, when one savngo man want ed the cave of a brother savage, It ho und nil a divine purposo is being carried out through thia path of suffering, no mortal vision can penetrate tho dark noss and sco tho plan, except that it bo to awaken tho men who carry on tho work, and raise tho food to feed mankind, to determine that henceforth thov will insist upon being con suited before such a destruction as is now going on shnll bo pre cipitated. "Long is the way and dark that out pf hell leads up to light." and tho law of just compensation is slow in estau- ish ng its decrees: hence m such nn upheaval the finite mind cannot fathom tho design. Rut in our country there is nothing this year to prevent the singing of the (Jhristmns carols: nothing to dampen the joys of children over the coming of the day with its gifts the earth has been blessed by a great harvest and no omens, presaging dis aster, are in tho sky. Why not then ring the joy bells, nnd sing the carols? Why not lot tho children's laughter which is sweeter than bells or songs, over their treasures be heard? Why should not all tho pomp of organ and choir and burning incense be brought forth to do honor to tho day which is tho anniversary of the day when the lamp of n new and immortal hope was lighted in tho souls of men? To make tho day perfect to thoso in affluence, the first duty is to read the old words; "Feed my iambs! i eed my sheep.' nnn so no ono should he hungry or cold today. Tho old world is rocked by war, ours is basking in pence, to mnk'o the peace per fect its joys should bo shared by all, thai there bo no jar in tho ringing of the joy bolls, no inmcntn underlying the music of tho Christmas carols, but nil in accord should bo willing to join in tho glorious intonation of "Peace on earth and to man good will."
