Declaring that he would-jlnstl-tute
a suit within the next few
days to test the validity of the
laws authorizing payment by the
county of, cerain fees claimed by
the justice court, Circuit Judge L.
H. McMahan, acting as a private
citizen, yesterday announced that
he would take this action - to en
join the collection of the money
from the county. An opinion
handed down Wednesday by At
torney General Van Winkle held
that the claims for the fees in
question were legal and should be
paid.
; The opinion was asked of the
attorney general following a state
ment by Judge McMahan that the
Salem justice court was - asking
fees 'that the county could not le
gally be expected to pay. j The
questioned claims were fori filing
docket. entries and transcripts.
f'Of bills aggregating $214, the
justice of. the peace is demanding
$114 to which he is no. entitled."
Judge McMahan said yesterday in
commenting on the case. i'"The
opinion of the attorney general has
not changed my opinion concern
ing these illegal claims. j I .
r'I will see to it that a suit to
enjoin the payment of these, bills
is filed, within a" few days and
then the county will be able to
decide definitely who is right;
"I know it Is unusual foe an of
ficial to make this kind of a fight
but I did. not forfeit my rights as
a citizen by being elected to of

way occasionally to the end that

people everjnenere.
To me it mean, also', a time for the refurbithiiifi of ideals. Ideah are vhat n-e live by.
There is danger that an a man meets the disillusionment of life he may permit his ideals tr bc
eowe tqrnithed, or he may lose them altogether. Chri'tman affords opportunity to take fresh
hold upon the ideal.
The ideal is above priee. It means the difference Letvicn meeesn avd failure; the difference
between a noble life ami an ignoble career; and sometime it means the difference. Itetween life and
death. The. ideal is of snpremf 'importance became once acquired nothing but n moral revolution
in a man can change it'. The ideal dominate a man's life, determines his character, and fires his
relationships among hie fellows.
The Cnristmas season supplies a perfect illustration of the ideal. The vnse men, looking up
ward and pressing onward, vers led by the star out of the ilezcrt into Jerusalem, yhen they fol
lowed the star again until U brought them to Bethlehem. Then they followed it in. Bethlehem
vntil they came to the manger where in the-Chitd lay.
The ideal is like the star of Bethlehem. It has value for ns in proportion as it is high enough
above vs to keep us looking, upward ail the time and for evovgh before its to kicp ns struggling
oi'ward to the end of life. It a very poor ideal that ive con ever overtake, and it is a great mis
fortune for one ever completely to realize his ideal. For, when he does, his progress stops. I like
ta think of life as a continuous unfolding, a daily progress tmcards higher levels. The Christmas
season emphasizes the saying of the wise rnan in the Bofik of Proverbs, "The path of the jiust is
as the. shining light that shine th more and more untu tne perfect day.'"
Not only is there this general exhortation at Christmas time to cultivate the ideal, but every
individual lias opportunity to make the particular applications which his life needs. For me
there are three principles, or laws of living, flowing aown from this general Cnristmas illumina
tion of the ideal. y , J
One is the law of service, as the measure of greatness. The One born on Christmas came
"not to be ministered unto but to minister" He said, "Whoso would be greatest among yon, let
him be servant of all." It was true in times past, is true now, and ever will be true, that he is
greatest tvho does the most good. The human measure of a life is its income; the Divine' measure
of a life is its outgo. Not what we accumulate and keep, like a stagnant pool, but what we add to
the sutn-total-of human happiness, like a flowing spring, makes great "It is more blessed to
give than to receive." j
Another is the law of I sacrifice, the means by wnich the spirit of service expresses itself.
The Babe in the manger grew, to manhood, and "gave his life a ransom for many." He hesitated
not to give "the last full measure of devotion." Not our convenience but the world's need is the
standard of service. ' Hen will serve while it is pleasant to do so, but Christmas says that we must
go beyond that. "U'Aat do ye more than others?" is the challenge. He who was born 1925 years
ago in Bethlehem, and who may be bom again in onr hearts at th'S itme, said, "He that seekelh
his life shall lose it, and he that loseth his life shall find it."-- Wendell Phillips has a fine passage
in confirmation of this. He says that the multitudes by taking thought of themselves sink into
nameless graves, while the few "forget themselves into immortality" ;
The third application is the law of love, which is the taio of .life. The Babe of Bethlehem
brought a new conception of lave into the world. The love known to the world before his birth
was limited to tne relationships beticeen husband and teife,' parent and ehildrent and friend and
friend. In Christ, however, the world experienced a love as , boundless as the sea fa love so
limitless t hut no one can travel beyond its reach. This new love Is giving mankind a new heart.
It is not blind, but penetrates, the dark places with light. It rists the sick-chamAcr with cheer;
it penetrate the prison cell vrith hope; it points out the weak places in the armor of boasting
. strength. This kind of tare begets, love. Heart answereth unto heart. "We love him because ne
first loved ti$" hasbeen written of everyone whom the world has ever loved. Love is a growing
force in the world because it i the only weapon against which there is no shield. In the closing
chapters of his work on the 'French Revolution Corlyle calls attention to an important truth. He
saps that thought it stronger than artillery parks, cud at the last mould the world ke soft clay.
Tken he adds that back of thought is love. Carlyle is right. 'Thought is mightier than force,
but only because it'is nurished and supported by hve. Thought- looks up' to lore a the flower
opens to the mn.. -i i . ... j , . :,- . ' "... ! - : '.
These, Hen, are thoughts for Christmas? Let every man'hUve a worthy ideal of life; and
let him express, that ideal in forms of service, inspired by love, and measured by sacrifice.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24. (By

Hoover contradicted today an as

that the United States government

"The London Morning Pqst

states that the United States gov
ernment endeavored to restrict
wheat production in the face of-h,

"The facts are that in 1917 con

An enormous surplus resulted. I
"The British government after
the armistice n 1918. however,
very naturally turned to the large
accumulation of cheaper wheat
v-'hich had been- held back in Aus
tralia and the Argentine. In con
sequence the American govern
ment was compelled to buy largo
amounts of wheat in order to
make good its guarantee.
"The surpluses were disposed of
to starving countries in Europe, a
large proportion of them in actual
charity and the remainder were
sold on credit which under sub
sequent debt settlements ' proved
to. have been about 50 per cent of
what the wheat cost the American
government.
"The American government has
never passed any legislation re
stricting production. This slory
probably originates from the fact
that the department of agriculture
a year after the armistice and

that there was an overproduction
ot wheat in the world and that
they should get hack to normal.
Such overproduction proved true
and under it the American farmer
for at least two years sold his
wheat to Europe for lws than the

In an unsuccessful attempt jto

20 and 5 years old, entered the
bunk shortly after it had been

all said to have been heavily

cashier, as he was working on
books in the rear of the bank, the
men demanded that he open the
vault giving them access to the
cash). Dixon explained that the
time lock on the vault had been
set and that it woufd! not open j
until 1 o'clock. After testing the
door the three men decided io
wait until that "time, andheld
Dixon covered, preventing the
spread of aa alarm. ;'

teller at the bank, returned. As
he opened the front door he Was
met by one of the bandits. "St-k
up your hands. Come . in here,"
Dixon - was commanded. Instead
ot eoniplying with the order the
teller turned and ran down the
street. The highwaymen, know
ing that an alarm would be given,
fled from the bank and sped away
in a Chevrolet touring car. They
are' said to hare taken the hank
