Good will toward men.’’ This has been the Christmas sentiment for nearly twenty een- turies, and it is America’s sincere and honest sentiment today, not- withstanding all our preparation for the slaughter of our fellowmen, Ameri at heart pacifi: It so loves peace, so loves hu- manity throughout the world, that it is going to sacrifice, suff Dleed that the children nations of the world, little Belgium, Switz erland, Servia and Holland and Denmark, and all the infant nations of the Western Hemisphere shall have permanent peace, a continuing opportunity to enjoy liberty, pursue happiness and worship God after their own fashion. We ar militant pacifist, too, in self- defense and in defense of all the great peoples who have grown to- ward the light, matured under the inspiration of the Prince of Peace. In the early days of Christianity, there were individual mar who died for peace and good will’s sake, and who, from their piles of blazing faggots or beds of torturing machines, blessed those who, knowing not what they did, tortured and slaughtered them. Toda there are martyr nations. America offers sacrifice of her all because ‘Peace on Earth and Good Will Toward Men ’’—Chri: deal, is imperilled as never be- fore by a mighty power whose policy is war, tyranny and the man- debasing savagery of antoeraey. We turn no greedy exes upon other people's possessions. Neither in our armed camps nor in our homes is there hatred. This day would we gladly take our fellows of Germany and Austria by the hand and say, “Welcome among those who are ready to die for peaee on earth and good will toward all men.’ We arm and f and will sorely suffer in the knowledge that our power is mighty solely because the Child was born in the manger, lived, taught, died that all men might be brothers. Looking the world over, the Lord beheld His earthly kingdom ravaged by a mad beast, His people tearing at each other: throats, Tlis temples in ashes, sacrilege and greed throttling faith, charity and spirituality, all His work trodden under the Satanic hoofs of the mighty hordes of selfishn tyranny, wrong and materialism, He called. And America has answered ‘* Here !"’ and has raised from the mothering dust His standard on which is written, in the blood from His side at Golgotha, ‘Peace on earth, Good will toward men!"* Hitherto, our presents to Him on Mis birthday anniversary have been pretty much of good dinners for ourselve hilarty, considerable of watefulness and a large portion of spiritual indifference. This day: beloved Prinee of Peace, we lay at Thy feet greater gifts than those Wise Men of the East ever dreamed of—our sons, fathers, husbands, bréthers, our homes, our hopes, all that we have. We do it with glad hands and brave, cheerful hearts. It is for Thee. It is that Thy ‘Peace on earth. Good will toward men” shall not perish from the earth. of unlimited CHEER THAT'S NOT FLAWLESS. Lots of caterpillars last fall, Hornets built their nests high in the trees, A printer at Muneie, Ind, h en two singing bluebirds in his yard, early every morning of late. Chipmunks’ storage plants are only half filled. An Omaha man has four hens already prepared to set. This is what they're giving us to cheer us up to w “a short, open winter,’ and we ean bite at all of it, save the pro- pheey presented by that Indiana printer. What an Indiana print- er sees carly in the morning doesn’t signify. It is just as apt to be a pair of Andes condors warbling on the family clothes line as a couple of gentle bluebirds that he sees: or, it may be a pair of red and green alligators flying down to pic up crumbs; or a white gila monster perched on the garbage can, flapping his wings and whist- ling notes. We're wide open to the cheer that’s in eater illars, hor- nets, munks and premature hens, but there’s nothing but eold, clammy, shudder in what Indiana printers are seeing early these mornings, ‘s called PUT THE FARMER IN IT. In an address before the state convention of the Pennsylvania Grange at Williamsport, Pa., Gifford Pinchot expressed his belief that the time has cdme to give the farmer a larger voice n the eoun- cls of the nation, On the American farmer, he said, would rest the big task of winning the war. “But today,”’ said Pinchot, “the farmer has no voice and is not consulted. There is, so far as | know, not a single genune farmer ui any place of autho in Washington—in the vast organization of the Council of National Defense, the Food Administration or the numerous special bodies that are running the war.” F There ought to be a farmer on the Hoover staff to voice the point of the farmer to Hoover, and to interpret the Hoover polices to the farmer, Every day beconys a better da: to sell saloon holdings, if possible.

ON ALL FRONTS LINES INACTIVE. Caristmastide of 1917 finds the arm- ies on all the major battle fronts vir- tually inactiv xcept where the Teu- tonic allies are endeavoring to over- whelm the Italians and force a pass- age through the hill country of north ern Italy out upon the plains of Ven- etia. .

Peace jn Air. Althotigh th®, spund of “peace” 4g, in the afr, seemingly there is no rgs: pect of ending at an early date the tit tanic struggle. The Teutonic aimes and the Russians are endeavoring to effect ac ion of hostilities on the eastern front, and probably will reach some kind of an agreement that for the moment at least will render tue counter revolutionary forces in Rus-, sia inactive and thro wa greater bur- den upon their former allies. The* enemy for weeks unofficially has been preclaiming his resire for peace, but no terms have been ad-! canved by him which would indicate! a willingness to bring the war to an| end along lines that would make the world “safe for democracy.” nO the contrary, the German emperor in his lastest utterance, made before the sec- ond army last Saturday boasted of the | suce of the Teutonic allies during the last year, and exultantly proclaim- ed that the victories of the central powers had been so manifest that it }was useless to waste word a the tactical and strategetical advantages | gained.

German emperor has made a final en-! deavor in his latest address to his troops to frighten peoples unafraid with the following declaration: | “If the enemy does not want peace. then we must bring peace to the world by battering in with the iron fist and the shining sword the doors of those who will no thave peace.

Starks, general man- ager of the railroad. His statement, which summarizes the findings of a board of inquiry made up of railroad officials, says “the first negligence” was the failure of the flagmen and conductor: of the train ahead “to protect the rear of their train while it was standing on the main line at and near Shepherds- ville, and in failing to protect it while not making schedule time before reaching Shepherdsville.” The engineer of the fast train which followed is charged with negligence in that “he failed to have his train under control as he approached Shep- TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1917 erdsville, so that if need be he could ae before passing the station. In- stead of this, though he did not get the signal to proceed, he continued at such a rate of speed that he not only passed the station, but ran 1,200 feet beyond. The wreckage of the train ahead was carried 800 feet beyond the point where it was hit,” the state- dds. "hrhe flegiian and conductor referred to were killed.
