AN UNSIGNED LETTER
We have lately received at this office a letter for publication, commenting on
an editorial of Nov. 18, beaded "One Hundred Years." It has been the pol
icy of this paper to disregard unsign
cd communications, for obviously such a rule is necessary. The letter in question, however, is so interesting, and so worthy of consideration that it
was a temptation not to reproduce it.
We would consider it a favor if the
writer would advise us of his identity, (
although his name will be kept in confidence if he so desires. More than that, the editors would like very much to have a talk with the author of the letter at his convenience. This may seem an unusual method of dealing with an unsigned letter, but the subject matter was so interesting that we hope we may get in touch with the author. .
ZERO
Last night the thermometer went to Zero. The cold which pierces to the marrow; which seeps In through every chink and cranny of the walls Zero. And with Zero came the Long Night.
In former days, yes, even afterthe Stone Age, when our shivering ancestors still wore skins. Zero was Death. Zero in those days was no respecter of persons. Those were the days of hunger; the days when the youngest and the oldest, the weaker ones died in the Long Night. Today, we think we have conquered the forces of nature. We brave the cold ready to run to cover at the slightest chilU We may rather enJoy the cold which sends the color to our cheeks and the blood pulsing through our arteries. Has it by any possible chance happened that we have conquered Zero? No, today Zero still mears death. But today Zero is a respecter of persons.
BIG MASS MEETING
Will Mark the Close of African Diamond Jubilee Celebration.
PRESIDENT WILL ATTEND
And so tonight as you pick up your evening paper after supper, your stomach filled with warm food, your feet toasting deliciously before the fire, your body relaxed, your whole being filled with the reaction from the cold and a trifle sleepy from the cold remember When you get into that peevish state which balks at the slight labor of puttina a little more coal on the fire before getting in between the fleecy blankets think. Yesterday afternoon a horse was standing on Main street in front of a warm bakery redolent of cheer. There was no blanket on that horse and the frost had turned to ice all over his nostrils. A small boy with no overcoat and very ragged clothes with still more rags wound around his ears was looking in at that bakery window with wistful eyes. There are homes if such hovels barren of warmth and cheer can be called homes where Zero still means Death. There are homes but we have often told the story. And if you do not really believe that there is suffering you are not in touch with your town. We are most of us comfortable, but that makes it all the more reason. It Is perhaps pleasant to believe that no one is really suffering. It is perhaps pleasant not to care. It is more pleasant to know that you have done something at least to combat the living death of Exposure, Starvation and Despair!
Then let us celebrate Christmas.
Items Gathered in From Far and Near
International Slangwhanging. From the New York Tribune. A writer has Just been convicted in this city of criminal libel against a member of the Mexican government in a book apparently composed for the purpose of assailing the president of that republic. The interesting feature of the case is that the libel was committed against a conspicuous officer of a foreign government. Far too often, writers of books, as well as of newspaper and magazine articles, and also public speakers, seem to think that foreigners, and especially foreign rulers, are fair and safe targets for any shafts of detraction and abuse. It is true that immunity is generally enjoyed by their makers, even when the attacks are untrue and libelous, because the injured person is far away and has not the time nor the inclination to take the
matter into court. That circumstance, however, aggravates the offense. The libeler says things about a foreigner which he would never dare to say
about a person in this country. More
over, it is the head of a state who is li
beled, and therefore the utterance is
calculated not merely to do harm to an
individual, but also to create misappre
hension and ill feeling between two
nations.
Protection for the Stranger. From the Chicago Tribune.

aid in protecting the visitors from the wiles of swindlers. It is possible that if the same ingenuity which is used on the men from the country were turned loose on the native Chicagoan he would find himself in the meshes, although he is trained, as the stranger can not be, to look with hostile eyes on the ap
proaches of plausible but unknown persons. The best advice, which can be taken In proportion as it Is needed, is that the visitor within our gates view with suspicion the stranger who
is cordial, plausible or helpful, and that
his suspicion be proportionate to the stranger's cordiality and plausibility.
The Diplomatic Service.
From the New York Times.
President Taft and Secretary Knox
intend to carry forward and extend the improvements in the diplomatic ser
vice of the United States initiated by
President Roosevelt and Secretary Root.
If the country is willing, the new ex
ecutive order will in time become a fixed law, and upon it will be based a permanent' diplomatic system which cannot fail to promote the interests of the public in foreign lands more effectively than the uncertain methods hitherto followed in diplomatic appointments. Such a system would be entirely free from the influence of party politics. Meanwhile the improvements in the lower offices of the ser
vice will be beneficial on their own ac
count, and doubtless many young men
of good character and education will be attracted to the diplomatic carrer.
ARGENTINA 111 LEAD
(American News Service) Washington, Dec. 9. Argentina Republic takes .the lead this year as the greatest grain exporting country in the world. This fact is disclosed by the recent report of grain exportation by the leading countries. For the year ended July 31, 1900, Argentine exported 13.700.000 quarters of wheat; 13,300.000 quarters from the United States and 12,100,000 quarters from Russia. This is the first time that Argentine has been in first place and while this lead is mainly due to the poor crops in the United States and Russia, it is confidently expected that within a few years Argentine will annually be the greatest of the world's producers.
(American News Service) New York, Dec. 9. A great mass
meeting in Carnegie hall on December
13, known as the Africa Diamond Jubilee celebration, will mark the close of a missionary campaign for the purpose of raising $300,000 for African missions, which began last January in Washington. The campaign has been conducted in the principal cities throughout the United States under the auspices of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist church and at the coming meeting Bishop Joseph C. Hatzell will make a report on the amount raised. As President Roosevelt was the principal speaker at the operfng of the campaign an equally important personage President Taft has been secured to address the closing meeting. The need of funds in carrying on the great missionary work in Africa, has been felt for some time. The year 1909 was chosen for the appeal
owing to the fact that it is the seven
ty-fifth anniversary of the sending to
Africa of the first Methodist Episco
pal foreign missionary, Melville B. Cox.
The leaders in the movement be
lieve that almost the entire amount
has been raised.
