To bo abla ty> count iSos* the days that art gone that one day, so esaentiolly a family day, la the greatest Joy of tbo Christmoa UNREASONABLE Cltixena of Wllmette, m wall at of other north shore suburbs, nay now. when all Chicago to clamoring aloud for Improved car service and when city hall officials (elections drawing aogr) ore laslttlag on Immediate t»- log akin to pride, point to their trans- liortation facilities, and initio at Chi- cago's luckless plight Occasionally, It Is true, some unreasonable clttsen will voice a feeble protest against the overcrowding or Irregular running of cars, but the great majority, broad- minded and unprejudiced as they are, agree that ear service on the north shore Is bat little abort of Ideal. Take as an example the Chicago-Milwaukee Electric road. Where will you And a corporation which treats Its patrons as does this road Their time cards (issued regularly and at stated Inter- vols) Inform you Just at what time yon may commence looking for your oar to reach your station and If, after having waited an hoar or so. you be- gin to feel a little fretful. Instead of Jumping at conclusions, first have a Jeweler examine your watch, for their printed schedule Is as unalterable as the laws of the Medea and Persians and It Is much easier to believe that every timepiece on the north shore la suffering from an aggravated attack of Si. Vitus' dance than to believe that one of their ears is running as much as one minute off schedule. Suppose. however, (If It Is possible for you to suppose such an absurdity) that your car should be a trifle late. Where could you more comfortably while away a few Idle moments than, say. for Instance. In that grand old ruin known as the Wllmette avenue sta- tion Where can you And a station with as perfect a system of ventila- tion as has this one? We feel per- fectly safe in saying that there Is no building in'Chicago or her environs that can boast of more fresh air, in- bide or out, than can this station. What could bo more pleasant than to spend aa hour basking before that de- lightful old brick fireplace, unsullied yet with aacreligious smoke, while the aepbyro from Medicine Hat come turn- Ming through the French windows. Furthermore. UHs company, totally In- different to expense, has provided for Jta ever-waiting patrons a beautiful, carved rustic bench, placed Im- mediately under tne north "Window. where one may sit, and, surrounded by all the comforts of home, comfort- ably freese to death. These ore but a few at the many things this benevolent corporation Is doing for (or to) Its patrons and still occasionally, but thank goodness, rare- ly, one can bear complaints. Truly, unreasonableness or man 4s past X K * THE AFTERMATH. Christmas has come and gone, lonv leg In its train many varieties of emo- ThoM to whom the holiday meant of kind and To the many whose Christmas iemory to utter weariness from the excessive work which serving the buy- ing pubUe en tolls, the thought that twelve months will come and go be- fore the experience must bo mot again ta the happy aftermath of Christmas. But, even here, there are those to whom the end of the Christ- mas rush means only the end of em- ployment and the facing of days for which there to no certainty of provi- sion. To them Christmas gone means a physical relief and a mental anxiety. '• "J. V" Than there are the "poor." to whom hearts open with lavish generosity at Christmas only to close with a snap when it Is all over. Are'they wonder- ing what they shall do for food and raiment ta the long, cold weeks to come? m m m LOST ITS GRIP. Miss Anna Gordon, president of the National W. C. T. U., says that the sa- loon has lost Its grip on politics, and to no longer a power to be feared. To "Big Business," the bogle of so many of the reformers, she gives the credit of having done more thin any other one thing to bring about this result. Whoa the corporations found out that efficiency depended upon sobriety, they made short work of the tippler and the saloon. Nowadays a drinking man can- not hold any kind of Job. There was a time, not so long ago, either, when drinking was thought to be a very nec- essary accompaniment to some employ- ments. The good salesman was one who could be the "best fellow," and the best fellow was thought to be the one who could hold the most whiskey. . To the Indefatigable work or Mint Gordon and ber wonderful organlsa tlon Is much of the credit due. Miss Gordon points out that, even U they have not yet been able to obtain na- tional prohibition, public sentiment has so completely changed that drinklns is no longer tolerated in business and is barred from thousands of place* where it woe formerly approved. Now It le barely endured as something difficult to abolish, but the stamp of fashion able approval has been withdrawn in many places, end the certainty of it* final banishment is not by any means confined to the opinions of thwse en- thusiastic workera of tke W. C. T u who have labored so long and so »*al- ously for the cause or temperance. * M W The exit cue Hoe been «,»*».. **.. shirtwaist, according U. fat..ion makers—the shirtwaist, that «»>» bit of woman's raiment upon which de- pendence can be put and which is more than transient It will be inlawed, like a long, dear, but departed fri«nd. but that will not In any way prevent* ltd passing.

There are three families In Wll- mette, two on Ninth street near Isa- bella and Alexander. Eighth and Lin- den, who are comi* lied to take dally trips to too Institute because their children bar* been bitten by mad dogs. Has some child to dlo before the police will act? I believe the police are not allowed to do anything but call op tke owner when a dog 1s complained of. and the dog goes on his way unmolested as before, but not so the unprotected children.

"Saloon power is waning to such an extent that it Is no longer the great political factor la every content, and I consider that the stand taken by 'Big Business* has done more for us than any oae element la any contest we have over made," sold Miss Anna Gordon, president of the National W. <3. T. U. "When the great corpora- tions found out that efficiency was definitely based upon temperance and prohibition, and Issued its mandates that drinking men shoald lose their Jobs, Is struck the moat powerful blow for our cause that the saloon has ever received." Miss Gordon is Just back from Washington, where she worked for three weeks In the interest of the national prohibition measure which gained a majority in the house, but did not get the required two-thirds necessary to pass. "I arrived Christmas eve," she said, "Just In time to see the community Chrlstmaa tree. It was beautiful and I think It a great Btep in advance when a city con do such a thing to main- tain and Inculcate the real spirit or Christmas. Was a Great Victory. "Tea, I consider the vote In the house as one of the greatest victories it waa possible'to conceive of, short of the actual passage of the bill. We had opposed to us the democratic and republican floor leaders, the known at- titude of President Wilson and some or the so-called strongest men in the body. 1 was greatly disappointed at the hostility or Congressman Mann. He is suave and crafty, but Mr. Hob- eon, when Mr. Mann asked what ob- jection he could make to his amend- ment, if it accomplished the aame re- sult, said: Beware of the Greeks when they come bearing gifts.' and the retort squelched the rtoor leader. We had 197 votes and tea mure paired, an excellent showing lud«ed. Despite orgaments like that of Presi- dent Taft, we see national prohibition Just ahead of us. Whether we accom- plish it by legislation or not, we are definitely reaching the same result by the greatest of all factors, public opin- ion. The sentiment of the whole coun- try in now against the liquor traffic and it ts bound to prevail.
