Parties are necessury. We have no qnnrrel with tho politician
who has to bo a party man. But the indkpcmVut citizen, man or
woman, doesn't have to be.
The only hope for better government,' : nationally or loeally, is a
determination on the part of the people nr. a whole, not to be hood
winked by this cukoo cry of "Vote the ticket Ktrajgkt."
When the election of one man would oMiously pmmote the public
welfare, and the election of suiother obviotwdy wouldn't, vote for, the
former, regardless of whether he wears ono party label or another.
This need not be done in any. spirit of party m-olt, but merely
because, in the last analvsis. it is simply a matter of enlighteiiiil self-
iuterest. When no great outstanding issues Separate the pnities, the
rule to vote for the most efficient man. regardless of party, is the best
ossible rule to follow.

CHRISTMAS TIME
AGAIN the Christmas season brings gladness to the land, and
he is fit for treason whose soul does not expand ; who does
not feel like rising to altitudes surprising and loudly advertising
his joy, to beat the band. Old Santa Clans is freighting tne pres.
ents on his sleigh, and little kids are waiting the dawn of Christ
mas day ; and though my years are eighty, and I have burdens
weighty, I'd think myself cheap-skatey if I could not be-gay. At
Christmas time we hunger for chances to be kind, and all the
world is younger and grouches fall behind ; and every normal
chappie would make some fellow happy, and Christmas is a snap
he is mighty glad to find. My years are nearly ninety, and I have
many ills, but while I drink my pine tea, and take my beeswax
pills, I hear the Christmas singing; my crutch from me flinging.
I rise and go a-swinging to coast down icy hiljs. This is the merry
season when lights are all aglow, and Christmas gifts, the trees
on, make such a gaudy show; and in the frosty weather the wholo
bunch get together, and then, with lungs of leather, sings carols in
the snow. And now we're all forgiving the grudges of the past,
and we are glad we're living in amity at last; and if there is a
fellow whom Christmas doesn't mellow, his heart is surely yellow,
and he should stand aghast!
