Christmas is the great festival sea- #on in observance of The Nativity, and as that brought great joy and gladness, peace and good will, so each sueceeding anniversary is filled with this spirit which has been of such great force and help to mankind. It fo an observance in which everyone should find joy in participating, be the share great or small. It is possible to dispense good cheer and spread abroad and reecho the tidings of great Joy, and the epirit of doing for others, though it may be little, can be man- ffested and must pulsate through our Christmas activities if we would ex- tract the joy which was intended as our portion. It requires no great sac- eifice, dut it is the manifestation of the willingness and the pleasure in ft which accomplishes the greatest re- sulte. Christmas is the anniversary which marks the beginning of greater and Wetter things for this world, the open- ing of a new era. It also bringa the opportunity for each one to contribute Ris mite for the brightening of the world for his fellow man, the scatter- ing of that cheer which cements tha | such wa in tles of brotherly love and friendship 48 each year opens new perfods in individual lives. It is a season for vejolcing and thanksgiving for the ever cheering message Peace on Earth Good Will to Man. INDICTMENTS OF OFFICIALS. In the indictment of the heads of the New Haven and Grand Trunk roads the charges concern a matter hich is of vital importance to all 6f New England and through which it the sults are brought to trial a question of unusual Interest will be favolved, both as to the effectiveness of the act under which the suits will be Brought and its bearing on the fu- turs transportation facilities of the six states. The indictments take a sew form in this prosecution for in- stead of being against the big cor- porations as a body they are against the Individual heads and concern not the acts of the roads in the past, but are confined to the one matter, the proposed agreement between the two roads in relation to the blocking of the extensions as started by the Grand Trunk. ‘What the outcome will be remains to be determined, but a speedier and more satisfactory method s thus be- ing pursued .to determine the ques- tion of & monopoly than could be ob- tained by the long drawn out, slow and unsatisfactory plan of having nu- merous committees undertake to fer- rét out and Investigate the deal, with nothing accomplished after they have reported.

The matter hinges on plan to overcome the bullding proposed lines at perss, by permitting bdoth use existing lines, would permit a Bealthy competition, or whether such an arrangement would result in such control that the interests of the ship- per would be neglected. DANGER OF ASSASSINATION. Indie and Japan have been the lat- 8t to figure in attempts at the as- sassination of high oficials, all of which indicates most emphatically that fanaties and anarchists are like- 1y to spring up most anywhere and most any time, bound to carry out; thelr deadly purpose regardless of the personalities they attack, so long as it mows down the holder of high office or power and strikes a blow at es- tablished government. The bombdb which was thrown at Baron Hardinge, viceroy of Indla, was | really aimed at the government and oot the individual though he had to tufter as the holder of the office. It s usually a harsh and unjust ruler whe is made the object of euch at- tasks, but Baron Hardinge would be ‘Ae last to be attacked on such a #¢ore, as his scts and characteristics would got warrant it.
