It’s all right to have taking ways, but it

Dear Santa Claus:
As I was looking in my Language I saw
a letter from you to some little child, it
said that you had an accident on your way
here, and then I thought a while. I wonder
if I can help him out of his accident, I will
try very hard.

Dear Santa Claus:
I received your letter and was glad to
hear from you. I wish you would send me
a tool box, a bicycle and a story book. My
little brother wants a picture book, an air
gun and some fire crackers. When I was
looking over my Language I found a letter
from you in 1905, it said, you had an acci-
dent by losing a stocking in the sea.

Women and the Ballot
Weiner-Neustadt and Waidhofen,
Austria, have just given the women
taxpayers the ballot, making voting
compulsory for women as well as men.
The legislature of Manitoba recently
permitted women to practice law. The
legislature of Georgia only a few days
later defeated a similar amendment.

isn’t made up of just prayers and sit-

“It’s Christmas time, friend! What
will you do about it?” asks L. D.
Stearns in Suburban Life. “Mothers!
Aunties! You who love to see your
babies bend, crooning softly, over
their family of dolls, with that grave
little smile of dawning motherhood
flitting tenderly over their faces, just
within a stone’s throw of babies who
have no dolls, and the mother heart
beats in their bosoms just as it does
in . that of your own sheltered darl-
ings; but their faces are grave, and
sharp and old; and little drawn, white
lines show about their mouths; and
their eyes are not like the eyes of
your children. The other day, a baby
opened its eyes for the first time
on this old earth; it was one of our
coldest days; but in the home was
no stove, no bit of warmth, no food—
almost no clothes! On another street,
in the midst of plenty, a woman, with
two small babies toddling about, the
father out hunting for work, cries—
with red lids: ‘We’ve not a dollar in
the house, and nothing to eat!’ Oh,
mothers—oh, adoring aunties—life
myself have always felt when the democrat-
ic party was criticised as not knowing how
to serve the business interests or the country
that there was no use of replying to that in
words. The only satisfactory reply was in
action. We have written the first chapter
of that reply.
Greatly Favored by Circumstances.
“We are greatly favored by the circum-
stances of our time. We come at the end
of a day of contest, at the end of a day
when we have been scrutinizing the process-
es of our business, scrutinizing them with
critical and sometimes with hostile eye. We
slowly have been coming to this time which
now has happily arrived when there is a
common recognition of things that it is
undesirable should be done in business and
the things that it is desirable should-be done.
What we are proceeding to do now is to
organize our peace, is to make our prosper-
ity not only stable, but free to have an un-
impeded momentum. It is so obvious that
it ought not need to be stated that nothing
can be good for the country which is not
good for all of the country. Nothing can
be for the interest of the country which is
not in the interest of everybody; therefore
the day of accommodation and of conces-
sion and of common understanding is the
day of peace and achievement of necessity.
“We have come to the beginning of that
day. Men are no longer resisting the con-
clusions which the nation has arrived at as
to the necessity of readjustments of its busi-
ness. Business men of all sorts are showing
their willingness to come into this arrange-
ment, which I venture to characterize as the
constitution of peace. So that by common
counsel and by the accumulating force of
co-operation we are going to seek more and
more to serve the country.

ments of American commerce and American
industry which are certain to follow. Then
there came upon the heels of it this bill,
which furnishes the machinery for free

turers of this country for the first time in
fifty years.
“I was refreshing my memory on the pas-
sage of a national bank act which came in
two pieces, as you know, in February of
1863 and in June of 1864;. it is just fifty
years ago since,that measure, suitable for
. that time, was passed, and it has taken us
more than a generation and a half to come
to an understanding as to the readjustments
which were necessary for our own time. But
we have reached those readjustments. I
