BELLS
I herad the bells on Christmas

And wild and sweet k
I The words repeat , .
" Of peace on earth. good-will j to
men!
Artd thought how, as the day, had
I Isikj Ik emer , ,
"" The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
1 The unbroken eong ,
Of peace on1 earth; 'good will to
Till, ringW.sirtfng-ori ; its way
Z 'Ihe world revolved from night
t A voice? iirhime, ,
f A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to
Z 3ffnrmen!'.A
t Thidf frorreach black'; accursed
mouth
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Qtjtfic on earth, good-wili to
men!
' It war as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And mad forlorn
The households born
: Of peace on earth, good-will to

L"There is no peace on e arlh" i
Z'i said '; "' ' "
"For bate ja strong ? s .

Of piace on earth,' good-will to
men!" '
Then pealed the bells more loud
and deep:
"Go J is not dead; nor dot a he
sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to
men!"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Increase in the volume of
Statute Law.
At frequent intervals some one-
dips pen in ink and bewails li e
increcse in number of legal en
actments and recites the fact
that the legislative bodies of 43
siates and the National Govern
ment are continualy grinding
out new laws.
There is doubtless some oci-as
ion for this lamentation in the
tendency that seems inherent in
some legislators to tinker with
the statutes and attempt to cover
every possible public or private
action with the provisions of a
statute, but the sum total of law
that are needlecs is but a small
proportion of the mass of legal
enactments.
We are living in a changeing
age and new developments, in in
dustry communication. Social
conditions demand statutory def
inition and limitation.
To find fault with the statutes
that concern them is to findfau t
with the automobile, the teleph
one, the radio and the air ship.
Criticism of the activities of
law makers finds its strongest
support among those who have
been affected by, certain social
legislation which for the most
part has found its way upon tl e
statute books in response of i n
insistent public demand. In tl h
classification are the statu'cB
prohibiting and penalizing. Ih?
manufacture and sale of alcoholic
the sale of narcotic drugs end
thi traffic in girls. ) , j j

, "Just like a gold mine" is a
common saving,, for the popular
view is that gold mining is a hiu'h
Iv profitably industry.' Yet the
total production of gold in the
United States lost year was .but
52.277.000, which is 'about the
same as the agricultural produc
tion in Yakima county, Washing
ton, this year. The. state of .K
braska boasts that its poultry
business each year amounts to
more thali the annual production
of gold in the nation. ,
