THIS Is the season when one hoars mur-h of (he "Christmas Spirit." It Is pretty hard to put in words jiiBt what tho "Christmas spirit" Is; what It Simula for and means. Time Immemorial this season of tho year has been one of rejololni. It. was such low? before tho Christian era. Time Ghobers of Persia, whose fiod waa the Sun, celebrated It with general re joicings, for they feared that tho sun, with its steady southern deellnathin, would somo tfmo fail to slop, and would disappear forever, and It, was about our Christmas day that, they eould first tell that. It, had stopped lis southern course and was again started back, bringing with It light and frui tion to the world. Other mil Ions mid peoples had their rejoicings and cele brations for tho same reason. However, It, matters but. Utile what others have done, or why. Christian na tions keep the day and rehOiralo It In remembraneo of Him who came t,;) point out to mortals tho road to lm mortality. Of him who taugh humanity that "It wag hetter to give than to re ceive." Of III,,,, f;,i'H Kr,,a((,Ht Kf (( man, Ills only begotten son, who, In turn, gave up His life and died for us on Calvary, and by this supreme mio rifioo opened for us the gales of I'nr-adlse. Professional gambling has been out lawed in every state In the Union, and each year sees a stricter enforcement of tho law, Insofar tta it can be made applicable to rluhs and lodges. The prevailing and growing sentiment against gambling has made It easv to accomplish these results. Few clubs today tolerate gambling. Tho proposition against gambling In churches Is apparently pretty far fetched, ns it cn.n be aimed only at drawings for prizes In church bazaars, a custom that Is almost as vicious ns croquet. While thoroughly In sympa- iny with any movement looking to tho supprcHslon of prorcBslonal gambling, wo believe the eight governors in this crusade might employ their energies In something more profitable to the general good than the suppression of "gambling In churches." IH'SIN'KSS MEN'S CLASS OF Y. M. C. A. HAVE IIANUJET "Two tilings," said Dr. It. I,. Steeves, mayor-elect of Salem, at tho annual baiKiuet of tho business men's cIiibs at the Y. M. C. A. last night, "nresiiiro n great future for Salem tho opcnlne of the Panama canal and a new city administration." The hiiiuiuet given last night Is snhl to have been the host al tended since the association In Saleni was organ i sun- No whatever reasons others In olden I ized, and all round the event was times had far celebrating (lie day ninny iney wore trifling compared to ours, mid they were wit hunt, the on, great, moving feature that marks tin 'hrlntnins time, ror they (l, not have the "Christmas Spirit," that Indent,- nNo Boinelhlng that, makes us all ten- derer to all humanity; that for a brief time, at, least, makes us forget our grasping for tho dollars, touches the hidden well-springs of our genenmlly, makes tin forget self and realize (hut all humanity Is akin our brothers. Truly it Is a heavenly spirit that moves im to forget the daily grind, and gladdtns our hearts with n portion of Its own divine attributes; what tenclieB us tho delight of giving, of lightening 1,0 burdens of others, of adding t,o other's1 pleasure, comfort and happiness; nf mr.klng tears give way to smiles and Sorrow hide be hind tho skirts of (ilndnesH. Of mak ing the givers realize In all lltt great ness that, divine precept, "It Is better to glvo than to receive,' and enjoying tho RouI-RntlHrylng realization of lis truth from their own little kindly arts. Christmas Is oHon called "the chil dren's day," mid. while this In a sense U true, It Is not wholly so. Kor them It Is Indeed n holiday, a day of all days, a little sample of miry bind brought down to earth will, all lis wonderful things, lint while It Is in this Beniio "children's day," It Is also "parents' " day, for they share In the pleasures and hitplpness of the little ones, and are hetter for the toy i,ev have given them. And then, too, as voted a thorough success Mistletoe and other decorations appropriate to the season were tastefully arranged about tho bamiuet hall and the recep tion room. Several speeches were made during tho evening, Stanley llnrton, presi dent of the class, presiding. Among oilier plans the class announced last night Is that of giving a bnnuuet and general Jolly-up every month. This was given over Into the hands of a comnilltee, which will report at a sub Boiinont meeting. Mayor-elect, Sleeves said that after the Panama canal is In worklnir nnW tho immigration question In a much larger way than at present will con front, tho peoplo of tho Northwestern slates. He said that the duty of re ceiving foreign young men and elvlnir them the right start In the great North west will fall to tho Y. M. C. A. Superintendent Wadsworth. of the Chenmwa Indian training school, was present, mid was listened to with great Interest. He manifested much Inter est In the work of the association, and said that he would do nil In his pow er to assist, those more directly con nected with the organization. Ho In vited the members to visit the Indian school, Governor West threatens to recom mend to the legislature that tho deal for the purchase of tho Oregon City locks bo called off entirely unless a conclusion as to the title to tho locks Is forthcoming In the very near future. Tho gcvernor Is in receipt of advices from Major Melndoo, of the United Ptates army engineers, nt Portland, who says the purchase Is delayed be cause of a failure to settle the title question. The amount to be paid by the stale for tho purchase of the locks is i.'iOu,- 000. Two hundred thousand has al ready been put up by the stale and placed In thq hands of the government. If action is not hastened, the governor will recommend that the $200,000 bo returned to the state. Approximately $!K)00 a year in tolls has been realized by tho Portland Railway, Light & Pow er company. Tells of Ills Plan. The governor Bhows how $150,000 of tho $200,000, If turned Into tho state school fund, where it would realize 6 per cent interest, would furnish tho annual $9000 necessary to pay tolls through the locks. 'The result would be a saving both to the state and the government. Tha government would rot bo out a cent, while tho state would save linn.oon the cost of operating tho locks would be on the shoulders of the Port'.nnd Railway, '-'ght & Power company. Major Melndoo wiitrs to the gover nor as follows: Replying to your letter of Decem ber 1 1 1912. I Peg to state that the ab stract of title to the canal and locln property Intended to bo conveyed to i he United States was transmitted to tho United States attorney for exam Iniithm as to tho vnlhllcv -ind Huffl clency of title on May 11, 1D1'!. On October 21, 1!H2, tho United Slates at torney'B offlco completed this examin ation and then forwarded the papers, w'th a lint of objections and defects, to Messrs. Crifflth & Uoltohr, attorneys for tho Portland Railway, Light &. Power company. Information Comes Slow. "Early in November Mr. L.ilte- had a conference with the assistant United slateB nttorney, with a view to deler n Inlng whet objections on tho title could be velvod and what olijeetlnnu ii'UHt ho met and he (Mr. Loiter) hoped at that time shortly to bo tn position to resubmit this title for find oinlon. Since that date this office Ins been unnblo to ut any Inforniatlo:, nu to I when the attorneys will complete (he examination and clearing of tho title. l niler the revised statutes of the United Slates It Is forbldibn l? ex pond any funds on the property until the title baa heen approved by tho nt torney-general. Tho operation of the canal and locks by the government therefore, must await the approval of the title papers b ythe attorney-gener al. I have tendered the servlenu nf this office to tho United States attor ney, but ho ndvlsoB that ho knows of nothing which the office can do to ex pedite tho transfer of tho property to tho government until to title papers are resubmitted for final opinion by the attorneys for tho Portland Rail way, Light & Power company." . f (Hoots Barks Herbs Th.'it h.ive great medicinal power, aro raH.-l to their highest etlleleney, for purlfyli.g and enriching the blued, as thev an combined in Hood's Sarsn paiilli. testimonials received by actual count in two yc.irs. lie sure to take Hood's Sarsaparilla ("let It tn'liv lii usual liquid form or uliiicei.iicd t . 1 1 . 1 l. h called Sarsatab He CHIIRHH SFRVIHFQ - . - . . v . , w i i W W Milliner' a ml Morals.

He thinks other quarantines will bo necessary, because the dis ease, making its appearance In the school, exposed numerous children.
