The Church was very prettily, decorated with evergreens, holly and other Xmas decorations, while the two large decorated evergreens which stood near the center of the platform added much to the delight of the chil dren. The program was splendid from be ginning to end. rendered mostly by the beginners and primary classes and was enthusiastically received by the audience, the little folks bringing many a smile to the graver faces. The Choir sang a number of beau tiful songs, and the two solos by the small boy and girl was certainly good, as was also the (Juet sang by a couple of girls in Miss Emily Steen’s class. Every child in the audience re ceived a sack of nuts and candy and a big rosy apple. The apples were then passed to everyone in the church.

(Special Cor respondence) President Wilson's note to the European belligerents was sent to the newspapers at eight o’clock in the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 20. It was not to be released for publication until after midnight. Yet at about two o'clock on that day a news ticker in . Wall Street carried a report that the president was about to dispatch a note urging the warring nations to work out the terms of peace. These statements were printed in the New York Times of Thursday, Dec. 21, in the course of an article dealing with the crisis in the stock market; and there is a natural in quiry here as to who "leaked” the in formation. The president's note was dated Mon day, Dec. 18—two days before it was given to the press; it was pre pared. all reports agree, several days before that. Consequently, its con tents must have been known to a far ly numerous group. Washington gos sip has been busy trying to identify the men who could have knowledge of the president’s purpose—and there are sinister rumors to the effect that some, people who were “in the know” did not let the opportunity pass to pick up some easy profits in the stock mar ket when securities went tumbling, as they were bound to. as soon as the president's note became public prop erty. The incident serves to emphasize the power which an administration holds upon values in this country. What the president’s note did upon a large scale which affected every in dustry whose securities are dealt in on the market, can be done to a lesser degree with individual securities by any gne of a group of officials whose duties bring them into contact with the industrial life of the nation. This power, it is to the credit of American public life to record, has rarely, if ever, been abused—and it is signifi cant that it is only within the past few years that anyone has ever seriously surmised that personal gain or any other private motive lay behind any ccurse of action on the government's part. That such surmises are now rife is due in part to the system which . clothes officials with such enormous power and in part to the askance with which conservative-minded people have come to regard much of the ac tivity in some circles of the present udot&isUvlJos. ' ‘7 ' The remedy is partly legislative—by limiting the power of administrative officers—and partly political, by see ing to it that the government is loged in the hands of m.en and of parties im mune to sinister influence. The coun try. however, has just voted; and it it a trite observation that a nation re ceives that sort of government which it deserves. NEW U. P. BRIDGE MARKS GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT. The greatest engineering accom plishment of the railroad world is the switching of the new Union Pacific bridge in Omaha. Traffic was tied up less than three hours while the new bridge was put in place, ready for the gigantic traffic which passes over the bridge every 24 hours. The old piers and foundations wero used. The new bridge, the third across there, is 1,722 feet long, weighs eleven and one-quarter million pounds; cost more than $1,000,000; is seventy-five feet above water, and is a houble tracked bridge. Six trans-continental railroads use this bridge, the Burlington, Union Pa cific, Wabash. Northwestern, Milwau kee, and Great Western. Three hun dred and twenty trains cross the bridge every 24 hours, one every four and one-half minutes.
