THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Great is the change that has come over the world since last Christmas. War hatreds are evaporating. Nations are disarming. The spirit of brotherly love—the real spirit of Christmas — again is subduing the emotions of men. The pendulum is swinging back, and the angels again are singing, “Peace on earth; 200d will to men.” There i more to Christmas than Santa Claus, -sputtering | roasted turkeys, holly, mistletoe, chimes and gift-laden Christmas trees. . The‘veal Christmas is more than a day, a. sea- *son or.a holiday, or even a spirit of unselfish charitable heart. Christmas is the anniversary. of the birth of \ ..Spiritual civilization. _' 4 *, , The greatest event, in human ister occurred 1921 years ago tomorrow. : The birth of Christ—December 25, in the year 1—brcught mankind the code.which, lived up to, will extend the Merry Christmas ‘spirit’ until it includes all days of the calendar. CANNOT EXPLAIN THE MYSTERY Daniel L. Webb, Denver lawyer, put his pet dog, Nero, in a crate and shipped him to a friend in Nevada, 1000 miles away. Nero arrived in Nevada. As soon as he was uncrated, he ran out of the door and vanished. The other day Webb heard a barking at the back door of his Denver home. He opened ihe door. ! ‘ In rushed Nero. How did this dog find his way back over 1000 miles of open country? Scientists answer, “Instinct—sixth sense.” But exactly what. argjthey? No one knows. Do you love mystery stories? The best ones are in nature. g ADAPTION Ever see a woman sew with her toes? can. She’s a pupil at the Massachusetts Hospital School, in a class that trains how to overcome physical disabilities. , Observe how nature befriends us. Bessie, de- prived of the use of her hands, finds the power of her fingers transferred to her toes. Like blind- ness, which. usually intensifies the hearing and other senses. All handicaps can be overcome. ARENA The Yankees will build, in New York, the world’s greatest baseball stadium. It will have three decks, seating 80,000, Fans will have as much sport i in, this stadium as the ancient Romans had in their arenas. Con- trast baseball with gladiators killing each other and Christians thrown’to the lions in Nero’s 's day. Man has changed very fundamentally in the last 2000 years. The old saying, “Human ndture ner changes,” isn’t true. SEED California is ‘producing 8,600,000 boxes of navel oranges a year. Yet this whole orange in- dustry is said to have sprung from one little slip budded to.a navel orange, that came from Brazil 51 years ago. That original orange tree still stands in the greenhouse of the Department of *Agriculture. See it,.some time when you are in Washington. It is more interesting than Congress—and more important. It is a sermon on growth and possi- bilities, ee ee i) Bessie HARDSHIPS A A box of dynamite exploded when it was picked up by N. Cory Hanks, silver miner. He lost both hands and was blinded. That was 15 years ago. “Did Hanks become discouraged? No. He plod- ded patiently on, spreading optimism. Spread it so successfully that he is becoming famous all ever our continent, as a lecturer. j Think of Hanks, if you are having a run of bad luck. Providence often gives us a-jolt, to get us out of a rut. Adversity can be transformed into individual progress, if the will power works over- time and refuses to become discouraged. JURIES your time is too valuable? Just how much is your of Cyrus H. McCormick, multi-millionaire,. “har- vester king.” He was summoned for jury service and kept in court a week, shunted from one court- rcom to another, awaiting his turn. Democratic Americans talk too much of equal rights, not enough of equal duties. Until all of us, particularly those of ability, stop shirking public responsibilities, government will be inefficient and many jury verdicts stupid. “OIL RIGHT” James Poteet never thought of suicide. Other men have done so in Poteet’s circumstan- ces, for he has a wife and two children to support, and his wage as a farmhand was only $1 a day. | But Poteet ‘whistled at»his work —and said, “Better days are coming.” . Then Poteet bought 64 acres of land from his employer in Simpson county, Ky., for $10. - Along came oil drillers and struck oil on his land. Now Poteet'is drawing $50 a day in royal- ties. If you ever think of suicide, remember, this: You never know when luck-will break for. Your maybe in the next hour! ; NICKNAMES Sure, you can live down the nick-name that has cursed you since your boyhood. No matter how persistently it sticks you can overcome its handi- cap—by doing big things. “Baby” Brown is an instance. His real name is John Nichols Brown, his home is at Newport, ;R. L, and he became nationally known as “Baby” | Brown because he was born worth a million. ship because of ex¢ellence in his studies and he will be graduated with honors next June. Nothing babyish about that. EDITORIAL REVIEW 7 Comments reproduced! ‘in this golumn may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. THE DIFFERENCE é Those politicians who are endeavoring to attract 9 to their party the American Legion “vote”’and look to see that great body of young Americans take the place in politics formerly occupied by the members of the G. A. R., might do well to observe that there are some radical points of difference in the two organizations. By the very nature of thé events leading to its creation, the -G. A, R. had pre-affirmed political affiliations. | The Civil war was an internecine conflict, largely political in its inception and made even more so after its-close. It was a natural consequence that the members of the G. A. R. should, as a whole, vote the Republican ticket and that the Confederate veterans should be Dem- ecratic. But the Amevican Legion is different and it is doubtful if it can ever Lo made-a factor in Amer- ican politics, even if there were the desire by its leaders to see this brought about, which happily there is not. There can be no political division be- cause the American people were a unit for the cause for which they fought ; there is nd difference, ef cpinion on this point and therefore nothing of which a political issue can be made. | The American Legion was made up of all classes of men and of all degrees of political belief. There was nothing in their glorious service abroad to change these opinions and nothing to crystalize them into political solidarity. The members will act as legionaries in matters of war’ history and of personal memory and as individuals politically. The politicians who are seeking to have it other- wise are chasing a will-o’-the wisp.—Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger, Do you try to evade jury duty? Do you think time worth?
