Senator Lodge takes upon himself the onus of criticism and suggestion regarding Presi dent Wilson's fourteen princi ples of peace. Not entering in to the discussion cithor pro or con the Chief wonders what the senator's views would have been Inula board of senatorial delegates been appointed, as he suggests, with himself as an important member thereof. The movies have developed from what was at first little more than a photo-mechanical curiosity to a great factor in stage evolution. With "Fatty" Arbuckle and Charlie Chaplin at one extreme and Mary Pick ford and Theda Bara at the other, they mirror the public taste. As the grnphophone brings to our ears the world's greatest music, so the movies bring to our eyes scenery and plays otherwise unattainable. Christmas. 1910, is a past date. The New Year looms close ahead, and it is time to think about resolutions. Pick out a good one while the assortment is unbroken and handle it care fully. These New Year resolu tions are about the most fragile thing on earth nearly all of them are broken. Wishing you the best of luck with yours, the Chief extends to its many friends and patrons greetings of the season a happy and pros perous New Year.

However, almost eyery other line of precaution has been tried: give this theory a whirl at the game. It's like Aunt Jerusha's remedies: "If it don't do any good it won't .do much harm." going to charge the soldiers two' cents a mile for railroad fare! Home. 1 Jus is true and is used as an argument against govern ment administration of railroad aliairs as well as a slur upon our political party. If these would-be critics had added "Uncle Sam pays tho soldier an extra month's wage and an al lowance of 3 1-2 cents mileage for his trip home." the state ment would be still more truth ful.
