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

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 big

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
