By Arm at Ferrf,
YE YULE TIME.
Santa Claua holds forth tonight,
and Merry Christmas t Is the greeting
of the season. More people mean It
when they say It than last year. This
may mean that National Cheerful
ness, like Prosperity. Is Just around
the corner. This year both the pock
etbooka and the stockings will be
fatter and fuller. It Is about time.
Too long has good St. Nick been
n noting the rule of a whiskered
Gloomy Ous, and crope lnterwlned i
with the mistletoe wreaths. A Merry
Christmas to all.
The Christmas celebrations of the
past were not solemn affairs, Thn
a citizen was chronically happy,
whether or not he had any Justifi
cation for It. He was chiefly con
cerned with himself and neighbors,
and waking hours were not devoted
to fretting about what congress would
do, If anything, and the European
situation. Recently man has come
to doubt that he will survive the
Inhumanity or his own kind. This
caused the greed of the capitalists,
and the tragic poverty of the poor
to protrude more, painfully. It
' caused citizens to get ' mad, and set
about regulating everything In sight.
Santa Cm us, alone of established and
delightful myths hna so far escaped
regulation. His whiskers are still .the
right length and color. Once the
Constitution was mentioned as slight-
ly out of date, but the remodeling
mania never reached Santa Claus,
when, and If, the planned Utopia
Is established, of course, thore will
be no Capitalistic Christmas trees.
Then everybody will be as rich
Henry Ford and as good-looking aa
Clark Cable. One then can recall
when each Yule season Nlchola and
Ashpole staged a hog-hefting con'
test. Everybody guessed, and the win
ner received a 10-pound, pork roast
that weighed 0 pounds, People In
those times were Inclined to get
aay from the pure Joy of living, and
It did not take much to amuse them,
.A
The period right before that was
even gayer. If a man was headed
homeward with a Hack of flour
his shouldor, the corner smart-alecks
would bet he did not have a pint of
whiskey in the house, it may be the
ability of humanity to mingle, and
hoist a few hlph-balla haa mellowed
their aonl. At any rate the orchard
run of the human family does seem
aa mean and mad aa when his liquid
refreshment were Illegal, and pro
cured with great secrecy from be
hind a log up the creek, by the
light of a lantern.
Christmas Is distinctly a day for
xuu. in spite of all the Improve
ments, retaliations, and efficiency,
mere are still children nine years
old. who retain their childish faith
In Santa Clnna. In due course or
time, regimentation of the Juveniles
will he accompllRhed then they will
all get the same klim of blonde dolts
and red wagons.
In the event you are suffering
from the delusion things have been
tough and Chrlntmas has lost Its
"true meaning." read the following
press dispatch on how the dice are
rolling for one little girl:
"Physicians have been unable to
diagnose with certainty the strange
condition which nmkoi her bones as
brittle as pieces of glass tubing. A
person of ordinary strength could
break any bone In the little girl's
body with his flngors, the physicians
say.
"Dorothy, despite her misfortune
and the poverty of her family, which
1 depetulrnt upon welfare agencies,
maintains a cheerful outlook on life.
"She took her latent broken leg
with philosophic calm. But her ten
previous experiences ha J taught her
what to expect when the doctor
art the limb, and for the first time
she aked for an anaesthetic."
VES, it's too bad. Too bad that the spirit of Christmas can
A extend throughout the year. Too bad that 'peace on earth
good will to man" can't be a vital and living force for 365 day
instead of only one.
This sentiment has been expressed no frequently at Christina
time, however, that it is getting a trifle shop worn. With at least
half the world preparing for war, and the other half torn by dis
sension and discomfort, such self righteousness and pious aspira
tions, seems, more than usual, a waste of breath.
aianing me spirit or minstmas permanent would be very
nice, and exceedingly whe; but the undeniable fact intrudes,
that the possibility of achieving such an accomplishment is de
cidedly remote. We the people are strong for one Christmas
year, and for one Sunday a week; but when it comes to makiu
a literal application of the Christian religion, from day to day
we stoutly and perversely refuse.
As far as the question of war is concerned, however, we have
come to the conclusion that war is not going to bo ended, on th
basis of religious appeals. Nor is likely that much progress is go
ing to be made, by iterating and reiterating, the obvious truth
that on moral grounds, war is wrong. In fact we have about de
cided that theological and spiritual exhortations, are not needed
Why should they bet
or after all isn't it plain that all that is needed is intelli
gence!
f C7ST plain human intelligence. The intelligence to see that i
this modern, closely knit industrial world, war is as out of
date as the dodo. The intelligence to see that not only is war
morally wrong, but literally suicidal, that unless modern civi
lization can conjure up enough brains to eliminate war, war will
eliminate modern civilization. It is all as rlain as a pike staff.
Intelligence, an enlightened self-interest. That is the only
need. And until human nature and 'human cussedness
changes; the main thing for our peace leagues and anti-war so
cieties to do is to appeal to that intelligence.
For that as we see it, is in the final analysis, the only hope.
Dole vs. Jobs
session
it was
DUSINESS executives of America at their annual
favored placing relief on the dole basis, because
cheapest and would aid in balancing the budget. But the federal
emergency relief administration stands by its conviction that
"the only answer to the relief problem is a worthwhile job for
each employable person."
Work relief, it is admitted, is more costly than handing out
luuu or grocery sups, out is worm tile difference in its effect
on morale. In addition work creates demand for materials aud
their manufacture adds jobs in private industry.
Relief only represents about half of the normal family bud
get, and creates discontent. People do not like it, which is a good
sign. Its administration varies in efficiency and effectiveness as
do its oosts. The latter arc being gradually reduced as efficiene,
increases.
The administration has the right attitude, which is to retain
a person s self respect by giving him something useful to do,
A regular pay day is what the vast majority of the jobless want.
Plans to give it are under consideration by the president Salem

question of Individual opinion. A
little nonsense, yes, but Just how
much of this seasoning to use In i
dish that will appeal to the ma

So It Is with vltamitu, too. We're
learning a whale of a lot about toe
six vitamins which have been recog
nized to date, namely, vitamins A. B.
(B was formerly designated Bl). 0.
O. E and Q, (O was formerly desig

gained by animal experimentation
Some of it applies perfectly to humm
nutrition, but much of it cannot be
accepted without mod If .cation thru
extensive experiments on man. clin

in practice. The veterinary physicians
are therefore In position to, and
many do, successfully employ this
new knowledge In practice before we
medical practitioners grjt onto It.

WE think naturally of Christmas
as a day of rejoicing, of peace,
of the expression of good will through
the giving of gifts.
Did you ever pause to reflect that
Christmas day. which commemorates
the birth of Jesus, la an occasion ot
TREMENDOUS political significance
JESUS was a radical.
Compared to him, Upton Sinclair,
in our own time and country, is a
rank conservative. Compared to the
teachings of Jesus and the revolution
which they worked in the world, the
New Deal la an Insignificant flurry.
JESUS came Into a standpat world.
In this world, the big man was
everything and the little man was
nothing. The big people ran things
and the little people submitted
tamely and dumbly, because they
dared not even THINK of anything
but submitting.
"Let well enough alone" was the
political philosophy of the time, and
anyone who dared question thla phil
osophy waa summarily dealt with.
JESUS was summarily dealt with.
He waa crucified because he
dared to question authority, because
he put In the minds of little people
the thought that the big people were
not necessarily infallible, thus under
mining tradition and precedent and
standpatlsm.
For that reason he waa regarded
as dangerous to existing Institutions
and ao was got rid of.
vents radical liberalism from going
too far.
Standpat conservatism, fflth Its slo
gans. "Let well enough alone," ana
"Down with Innovations," ruled the
world when Jesus waa born. His
teachings shook this rulershtp and
brought consideration of broad hu
man rights back Into the picture.
Enormous progress has resulted
from the conflict Urns started, which
is still going on and will probably
go on forever.
UT the seed he sowed took root
In the minds of men and grew
and flourished. Little people, pon
dering hla teachings, took hope,
gradually developed courage and AS
SERTED themselves.
The birth of Jesus marked the be
ginning of a new era In the world
an era In which human rights began
to bulk larger and vested privilege
smaller In the scheme of things.
TOWARD the rich and the power
ful, Jesus was harsh, saying: "it
is easier for a camel to pass through
the eye of the needle than for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of
heaven."
Yet he was tolerant of human
weakness, as witness hla saying on
the occasion of the threatened ston
ing of the woman: "Let him who is
without sin cast the first stone."
He was Intolerant of corruption In
high places, as shown by his scorn
ful scourging of the money changers
from the temple.
POSSESSION of property, in Itself
, Is not wicked. But the continued
acquisition of property by the shrewd.
if unchecked by a proper concep
tion of fundamental human rights,
leads to grave abuses. It waa against
these abuses that Jesus fought.
For this, he paid with hla life
upon the cross, but his enemies, the
standpatters of that day, could not
atem the tide of great reconsidera
tion for human rights that arose
out of his teachings.
Because they could not, this la a
better world to live In.
PROGRESS Is an everlasting con
flict between standpat conserva
tism and radical liberalism. It is
necessarily so.
Radical liberalism, fired by the
conviction of existing wrongs,
strays the wicked citadel of vested
privilege. Conservatism, on the other
hand, supplies the brake that pre-

and our clime.
We thank our patrons for their
unfailing trust,
Their largeness, and mental vis
ion clear and calm,
That make for betterment in
the mutual plan ;
And now we wish for them and
everyone alike
The lapse of hate, and for great,
er love and light,
That cooperation may make a
paradise.
