A Merry Christmas to all. God bless us, every one, and let Christmas cheer be abounding. It is better to cheer one than to be cheered bv a thousand as the world goes. Christmas does not bring happiness to everybody, peace does not always come, and even good will is sometimes difficult to entertain; but this is a good season for each one to resolve that nothing shall be lacking sc far as his purpose and power can go to prevent. Few communities are in better condition than Indiana, for at the bottom our prosperity is based largely on natural products. We have extraordinary wealth, mineral and agricultural. Our farm products, our oil and gas, our stone and cement and coal and clay and timber are things that are in demand under almost any condition. Few communities have gone ahead with greater confidence or better returns than we have in these golden years. We have been building up our cities and towns in manv cases from m the bottom. We have been spending a vast amount of earnings in the found ation work, in sewers and in street improvements, in street lighting and water-works, in many things that older cities have long ago paid for. We have been developing mightily interurban communication. Our manufacturing industries have increased in size and number. In all things we have been pushing our ventures with the result of great proserity. For the first time in the histon of this country the highest general in the army has been openly rebuked by the President acting as commander-in-cheif of the army and navy. When General Miles commented upon the Schley verdict as he did the other day he knew full well that he was acting in violation of one of the old-established regulations of the army and he knew that he was making himself liable to discipline. The rule is a necessary one, although not in ten out of a hundred thousand cases of its violation does even a mild reprimand follow, and its public and conspicuous infraction by so high an officer as Miles could not have other than a bad effect in the service. Beyond question Roosevelt acted for the best and it is even possible that Miles, for purposes of his own, courted the punishment, lie spoke the truth in what he said and to that extent ranges himself with Schley in the martyr class, but it should be borne in mind that Miles was not in a position to speak such a truth without having first resigned his commission. If he has been treated unjustly by the war department in recent years he has also been indiscreet on more than one occasion. We join the Elkhart Review in its willingness to bet fish-hooks to harpoons that President Roosevelt is not lying awake nights to hatch up any methods to create factional differences in the republican party, nor does he spend wakeful hours In trying to avoid official acts which he deems necessary lest be create friction in the party. President Roosevelt's character has so thoroughly established itself in the minds of the American people within the few months of his administration that the people look to his acts, and not to the partisan effects of those acts. The president does what he believes to be right, and while his acts may sometimes seriously antagonize the wishes and methods of some politicians, on the other hand they have,so far at least, strengthened him with the people. It is a law of human society that the aggressive man, with honest opinions and intents, performing necessary acts with kindness and without resentment, creates an impression among the people that his very sturdiness is worthy of sup port, and in such a man they Vili forgive many mote mistakes than they will in a man who seek? to conciliate public opinion at the expense of integrity.

BARRETT TO THE DELEGATES

United States Commissioner ' to Pan American Gives Good Counsel. John Banett, of the United States delegation to the Pan-American conference, who left Mexico City for Washington last week, made a farewell speech to the delegates of the conference before leaving, the impression of which is said to be excellent. He begged his South American colleagues to remember the special con ditions under which the United States delegation had to work. The decisions of the conference, as far as the United States was concerned, were dependent for approval on the action of the United States senate, and that body had to consult the varying interests and feelings of forty-five in dependent states, whereas it must be remembered that all the Latin-American delegates to the conference put together only represented eighteen independent states. The American delegates have realized, continued Mr. Barrett, that they had to contend against some degree of opposition here, not on the part of the Mexican people, but the clerical press. However, they fully understand that the clerical press represented nothing but itself. Mr. Barrett went on to correct the statement made by Senor Anadon of Argentina at the previous session to the effect thit the United States was surrounded by a Chinese wall in the shape of its tariff. The tariff, explained Mr. Barrett, had not been hastilv developed. It was the outcome of the necessities of the American people and the expression of the resultant interests of forty-five different states. At present nearly 30 per cent of the United States imports come in free ot duty and the United States hope, said Mr. Barrett, to be still more liberal in the future. Mr. Barrett went on to allude to the rumors that had been current of the withdrawal of certain nations from the conference in case this or that thing were left undone. He sincerely deprecated such talk. He exhorted all the delegates to remain until their labors were concluded so as to achieve practical results and to bring about the greatest good for the greatest number. All should be prepared to make some concessions and realize that no one can have his own way in everything. He felt confident that the rumors referred to were untrue, and that the conference would be attended with good results to the nineteen nations represented. Phflip J. Gam. Philip J. Gam was bom April 24th 1843, in Sandusky County, Ohio, and died at his home in Culver City. Ind., December 12th, 1901, aged 58 years 7 months and 18 days. In the spring of 1857 he removed with his parents to Marshall county, and in 1867 was married to Julian Kemmerling and from her received every care and attention which a faithful and loving wife could administer. During the past two years Mr. Gam has been very ill, in fact so intense were his sufferings at times that death would have been greatly welcomed. But during the last few days of his life he was relieved of pain and was able to intelligently converse with those about him, yet the complication of diseases with which he so long suffered had made too extensive inroads upon him and finally, without a moment's warning, the death angel snatched him from those who had so faithfully watched over him. Months ago he expressed his faith in Christ and much of his time was spent in prayer. On Sunday, December 15th, his friends and brethren of the I. O. O. F., laid him to rest in the Poplar Grove cemetery to await resurrection morn, funeral services being conducted by Rey. Austin of Argos. Death of William Kennedy. William Kennedy, . age 51 years, died near midnight Sunday night at his home west of this city, consumption being the cause i t death, ne leaves a daughter, Lillian, and a sister, Mrs. Clark Thompson. The funeral services will be held at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at Pretty Lake church. Election of Officers. The annual election of officers of the Catholic Benevolent League was held Sunday afternoon and resulted as follows: Geo. n. Kruyer, president; Ferd J. Eich, vice-president; J. E. Hanes, treasurer. Michael Ryan, secretary; John G. Miller, collector; Prosper A. Ball, orator; Chas. Ulrich, marshal; Jerome Ball,' guard; Aug. Carabin, Daniel Brown, Wm. Murphy, trustees; J. E. lit les, representative; M. Ryan, alternate. ' Reports showed the organ ization tü be in excellent condition, with all death claims paid. Blood and skin diseases, indigestion, constipation, rheumatism, pimples and sores permanently cured by Rocky Mountain Tea taken today. 35c. J. W. Hess.

THE UNSYMPATHETIC DAVIS. The writer of a recent newspaper article speaks of Jefferson Davis as follows: Professor Beers, writing in the Atlantic on 'Literature and the Civil War," finds that Jefferson Davis "is not a sympathetic figure in the picture of the war;" that "there was something rigid, narrow and bitter about him." Davis's figure seems, indeed, to be diminishing as the years go by, while Lee and Jackson loom larger, not merely at the north, but at the south as well. I have never read anything about Davis that improved my own impression of his character; but the average northerner born since the civil war will be found ready to speak with great respect, if not with cordial admiration, of Lee, . Jackson, "Jeb" Stuart and less famous but equally valiant soldiers on the southern side. There appears to have been little generosity In DaIs's make-up; I have never heard an anecdote illustrating any such quality, as against a literature of stories everywhere current proving Lincoln's practice of all the Christian virtues. At Richmond, where every effort has been made to throw something of nobility and majesty about Davis's character, I found that "not marble nor the gilded monuments" which are there presented to quicken memory in his behalf gave me any thrill, though "Jeb" Stuart's hat, with the plume, and Lee's sword and Jackson's last order gave me a sense of contact with greatness. The differences between Davis and his generals is not to be explained wholly by the gulf which separates the sedate methods of a civilian from the spirited life of a soldier. Lincoln was a civilian, too,--"a civilian," wrote Lowell, "during times of the most captivating military achievement," and yet none of his generals has obscured his memory. The sympathy, which men instinctively feel for lost causes does not center about Jefferson Davis, but it seems to Cnd lodgment more and more in the soldiers, who fought his battles; and this is not the fault of the cause, but of Davis himself. He inspires neither the poet nor the biographer.

WRONGHURST ROASTS. The ladies of our church will give a sassafras tea next Friday evening for the benefit o' the preacher's wife. Poll Williams has got a job as chambermaid in a liverystable at Plymouth and. will live there until spring. Wes Williams now has six cows and two pumps and is making money. Jim Stillson put his shoulder out of joint yesterday trying to boost his wife into the buggy at Plymouth. She weighs three times as much as he does and is used to climbing into the buggy off the fence. John Scott and Betsey Mattern are getting real spooney of late. There's a fee in it for the county clerk before spring, so the women say. A young fellow from this neighborhood drove over by the rake to see a girl Sunday afternoon and wore his new stiff hat without earmuffs. She made so much fun of his ears that he got mad and started home and he stopped at every house on the way to get warm. They all had cider out and when he got home he tried to drive through the gate without opening it and wanted to put his horse in the henhouse. The old backsliders are beginning to hunt the mourners' bench again, but early in the spring they will sneak off and go fishing on Sunday just as they always do. They like the mourners' bench now because it is close to the stove. Phil Blinks is a hustler and one of our most enterprising cithens. He put a new roof on his hog pen this week. Nate Stutesman and Jason Yeager are the latest additions to our choir. Nate is learning to sing bass and Jason's voice is a sort of subsoil soprano. Aunt Lisa Boggs took .a batch of butter to town Saturday and traded it for insect powder and scented soap. Bill Booster. hi Worth it's Weight in Gold," say suSerers from catarrh, of Ely's Cream Balm.
