Merry Christmas and a brisk Tuesday editorial note
A compact column notes a holiday greeting from Cal readers and mocks various topics. It mentions a new occaspie dish for Christmas dinners and a Washington editor lampooning the rubber trust. It calls attention to Illinois tax costs, Arkansas prisoner's mob incident, and a surge of new doctors. It also highlights Miss Lillie Simpson’s original story, Hawaii annexation odds, and the 98 edition Columbia calendar. The piece ends with notes on business stationery use and potential cost rises in printing envelopes for the Postoffice Department.
