CHRISTMAS. /» / • J Christmas is again with us, and as The Tribune will reach most of its readers this Christmas day, 1919, we wish them one and all a joyful and happy Christmas. To thoar that are approaching the sundown of life we hope an<l desire that you may bear the aches and |»ains to which old age seems subject, patiently and cheerfully; to those of middle age. who are a.'lively engaged in the bu siness of life, we wish success; to the young man or maiden contemplating the formation of a life i>artnership, we wish you to choose wisely, live faithfully and vour names never ap pear on the pages of our divorce courts. an<l we wish you all the joy ami happiness which should tietide the Christian Christmas day. Christmas Is the oldest and most universally observed of all our holi days Every Christian nation as well as *>n e of the non Christian, observe Christmas in some way. For the origin of Christmas we must go back u> the days of sun worship. Christmas, nr all know, marks the period when the sun seems to start Imck on the north ward journey. The sun worshipers, history tells us. observed the dav with (easting and rejoicing Th»y believed that the sun's genial rays were responsible for the growth of the cro|>s which provided them with food and which drove away the bleak and cold storms of winter. They thought of and worshiped the cun as their best friend. We owe the name "Christmas’’ to Christ and hi« reputed birth on that day. Just why this dav was selected as the date of his birth is somewhat questionable. It was se lect ed by the early church fathers who probably were influenced some what by the custom of the sun wor- ahipers in observing that day. The circumstances as given in the bible surrounding the birth of Christ would indicate a day sometime in spring However, whatever mav be the origin. It is the last ChrisUM» many of us will see while in the flesh. We know not what the fu ture may be for us. We can only hope it may tie well. The Tribune trusts, however, that we may all be here to enjoy Christmas day. 1920. The best known way to build tine community centers will be brought out in the rural life conference at O. A. C.

The big business autocrat is tiring far out» stripped by the labor autocrat. Men who really need to work refuse to do so except at exorbitant wages Indeed, the increase of wages has lieen so rapid and so great that the hired man on the farm is |»ast his tory. The farmer can no longer af ford to employ labor st ths wage demanded, for he cannot make such labor profitable. Hence, while the laborer drifts to the city to secure a job or be idle at heavy expense, production on the farm is r«»ducrd because the products and prices will not justify the exorbitant wage. Now. our law makers must give attention to enacting laws for the control of the labor autocrat as well as he of big business The fact of the matter is American economy has no place for autocracy on the part of either employer or employe. The employer is entitled to a fair return for his investment and the employe should have a fair return for his capital invested labor, and the knowledge of how tn do the work. Vnless there can lie ■ wise adjustm«mt of these opposing forces which ought to be upon a friendly foundation, the outlook for Ameri can industry is not bright. The only solution to the problem seems compulsory arbitration, for in the final analysis there is where all strikes must be adjusted.
