Seattle Republican

STATE LIBRARY THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN If the conclusions of the Copenhagen committee of scientists can be relied upon Dr. Frank A. Cook, who declared he discovered the north pole, is the monumental liar of the age In discrediting Cooks Dr. Cook's discovery story of the loose north pole the whole subject is Cooked again opened up and as was previously published in these col- umns, it is very doubtful if either Cook or Peary ever saw anything that resembled the north pole, and this belief is shared in by many of the leading scientific men of the age. Its a long ways to the north pole and just why both Cook and Peary should conclude after getting within speaking distance of it to drop all of their attendants and make the last rush practically alone, no one but themselves seem to know and they guard well their secret. Cook claims he reached the pole accompanied by two Eskimos and Peary by one Easkimo and a Negro cook and yet both of those explorers had scientific men at their fingers end ready, willing and zealously anxious to make the last dash to the pole with their leaders. With them present the dispute would have been settled once for all, but now it is as much a mooted question as it has been for the past twenty centuries. "The good die young," which doubtless explains why King Leopold lived to such a ripe old age. "Of the dead let no evil be said," so man is taught, but of Leopold, if anything at all is said Leopold it must be evil for his life was to tally devoid of good. The soul of The King Is Dead that criminal old criminal passed to the God that gave last Thurs- ay and if it were not consigned to the bottomless pit of perdition, where only those guilty of unpardonable sins must wale forever over their past lives, then the God of the Universe does not meet out justice to those who break His laws, as Christianity has taught. But of his consignment quarters in the Great Beyond we have no contention and have no hesitancy in saying, "peace to his ashes." His death, however, will have a marked effect in three continents, Europe, America and Africa. In Europe the thorn in the flesh of the different governments has been removed so far as the king is concerned. In America he had many admirers as well as critics and owing to severe criticism strained relations between the two countries had for some time existed and trouble might have been the result had it not been for the keen diplomacy of Minister Harry L. Wilson. In Africa his death will be hailed with delight by the natives and it is barely possible that, the Congo Free State so far as the Belgian government is concerned, will be a thing of the past. An all wise God always does everything for the best and He must have had some good purpose for King Leopold living as long as he did which purpose however the human mind has not been as yet able to fathom. Recently a Negro, Isaac Fisher, a school teacher in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, decided he would compete for the prize of the best essay on Good Roads offered by the Manufacturers' Record and to Negro his surprise he got the second Talent prize, which meant a hundred dollars cash for him. Then he decided to enter the essay contest on Smothered an economic subject, which was fathered by a big clothing firm and again he won the second prize, which brought him $400. Had Fisher been told to appear in person and to enter the contest he would have refused to have done so because he would have believed his color would have been more instrumental in the marking of his papers than the actual facts. Had those offering the prize been asked of the possibility of a Negro winning the second prize they would have ridiculed the idea. And thus it is the talent of the Negro in the United States is smothered out because he can not get an opportunity to demonstrate to the world to what an extent it can be developed. Its all very easy to say, show your talent among the black folks, but vulgarly speaking, this is a "white man's country" and it is utterly impossible for the black man to build up a black man's country in the midst of a white man's country, and therefore the talent of the black man, if developed at all, must be done in conjunction with that of the white man. Give the black man a chance at whatever you have to do and then see if he is wholly devoid of mental development. Price One Year, $3.00. Single Copies, 10 Cents Cooks loose Cooked Leopold The King Is Dead Negro Talent Smothered SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Of course John Lockwood Wilson will not submit his candidacy for the United States senate to succeed Senator Piles to a King county straw ballot as between vote for Judge Burke because he believes that he (Humphries) would have a better chance to win the prize over Judge Burke outside of King county than he would over Senator Wilson. Humphries would himself vote for Judge Burke in such a contest. It is plain to be seen Humphries is endeavoring to work out some scheme whereby King county will eliminate Wilson from the fight and then he thinks he himself will be able to eliminate Burke. While this paper does not in any way speak for Senator Wilson, yet it believes Senator Wilson would say were he in Seattle today, "if all of the King county candidates for the senatorial toga will go into such a fight I will offer no objections, but I will not go into a two cornered fight with one or more candidates preparing to enter the contest regardless of the decision of the straw ballot." The friends of Senator Wilson are of the opinion that he is in line for the senatorial toga, which he is going to seek next year, and they will not permit any one to side track him by some political legerdemain. New York City has more paid public servants than any other municipality in the world, and their wages average higher than those paid by any employers out- than the entire population of the state of Nevada. These 68,021 public servants mean that there is one for each sixty-two of the inhabitants of the city and that these sixty-two have to pay their servant $1,160 a year. The amount is the average pain, computing the entire yearly payroll, from the mayor, who receives $15,000, to the humble laborer who gets $2 a day, and this entire payroll amounts to $78,919,352. The largest number of servants is in the Department of Education, where there are 24,740, who draw annually from the city treasury $25,131,193, and they have under their care and direction 522 schools, with an average attendance of 651,000 pupils. In these schools more developing minds are being trained than was the entire population of New York city in 1855. Next in size comes the Police Department, with 9,970 persons on an annual payroll of $13,543,801. In this department is the care of the persons and property of some 4,800,000 individuals who are daily within the borders of the city, in its buildings and scattered along its multitudinous streets, many of which are congested by traffic, and where there are more criminals than have been counted. The arrests made by the policemen of this department will number about 206,500 this year, with about 37,000 of the arrests for intoxication, 9,000 for disorderly conduct, 6,500 for grand larceny, 4,000 for felonious assault and 850 for homicide. Then there is the Fire Department, with 4,195 members, being paid $6,142,650 yearly, organized with 180 fire companies. They have to respond to an average of twenty-four fire alarms daily, and at the present rate will have handled 8,500 fires this year, with a loss of about $6,800,000. The Department of Street Cleaning, with the "white wings" as its prominent feature, has 3,415 individuals on its list, who receive $6,844,042 for one year's work, caring for 2,000 miles of streets, contributing not only to appearances and comfort, but to good health, thus aiding the Department of Health. In this latter department are 2,400 servants, receiving $2,484,855 for their yearly services. Teis department is closely associated with the Department of Public Charities, where there are 3,360 names on the payrolls, that foot up $2,512,605. Then there are a score or more of other departments, as the courts and District Attorney's office, with 2,650 members; the departments directly under the Borough Presidents, with 4,712 employees; Department of Docks and Ferries, with 1,840; Department of Parks, with 1,312, and so on through the Executive Department, with the Mayor at its head; the Department of Finance, under the Controller, Law Department, Taxes and Assessments, Corrections, Tenement House, Bridges, Water Supply, and so on to the end, all of which, when their salary lists are footed and added to the interest account, rents, supplies, improvements, gifts to charitable institutions, sundries and incidentals, bring the total annual amount of $I48,446,904, which Father Knickerbocker must pay.

The servants who have been employed to look after the housekeeping of the city for the present year number 68,021, which is more Volume XVI, Number 30. H. R. CAYTON, Publisher Is it a wilful waste of money and time to try to stop graft in the United States? is a question that is being frequently asked by honest men and women. Occasionally a grafter is caught, Grafting tried, convicted and even sent to Not A prison where he serves out his Crime term, but this is the exception and by no means the rule. A thief once addressed his fellow thieves, who had drifted into dissentions among themselves, and among other things he said, "we must hang together or we will hang separately." It looks as if those who try grafters feel about as the thief herein quoted. After San Francisco having spent more than a million dollars trying to break up the greatest grafting game perhaps that has ever been played in any city in the United States the report comes from that city that the last of the graft storm echo has been heard and the cases will all be dropped, with not a single person tried for the wholesale crimes, doing time in the state penitentiary. Laws in the United States seem to be made in order to give the law makers an opportunity to get a new graft on the public moneys of the country, for grafting is as often charged up against the law makers as against those who execute the law. Truly this is an age of graft and truly is the man of the United States money mad and will stoop to do any criminal act to get the money. Hundreds of personal as well as political friends of the Hon. Henry Lane Wilson, for the past six years minister to Belgium, whose official home is in Spokane, Washington, were delighted to Henry learn from the Associated Press Lane last Monday evening that President Taft had named him for the Wilson diplomatic post at the capitol of Mexico, which is a marked promotion for him. Under President McKinley Mr. Wilson was sent to Chili as resident minister and after distinguished service there he was sent to Belgium in the line of promotion and now to Mexico. This is another political victory for former United States Senator John Lockwood Wilson, or whom the Taft administration looks with much favor. Already Senator Wilson has been the recipient of many courtesies at the hands of President Taft and it is said that others are in store for him. Senator Wilson is now in Washington City and may defer further travels, save to points in the states, until his distinguished brother arrives in New York or the latter may join him in a brief trip to Egypt and other points of Asiatic and African interest. Tomorrow and Chrisendom will join in one mighty chorus, Christ the Lord of Host has risen, and the vows of two centuries ago will be renewed and the mighty army of the Lord God of hosts Christmas will go marching on with the palm Cheer of victory on its brow. Whether Comes you be a stranger in a strange land, a Jew, a Greek or a Gentile Christmas Cheer Comes you have the right to join in this covenant making and sing praises to Him, who died that all might live. Customs may change, countries cease to exist and governments fail, but in every Christian country Christmas will continue to be to the Christians, what the year of jubilee was to the Jews. So far as possible they square up accounts, liquidate obligations, break the bread of peace and pray that the Christmas period will be one of joy and happiness, which will so free the mind from the cares of the past year that it will be a pleasure to begin the new year. With this in view The Seattle Republican wishes you and each of you a most pleasant Christmas season, a Happy and joyful New Year and, bess of all, life everlasting. When the Ballinger-Pinchot embroligio first made its appearance on the political horizon The Seattle Republican after carefully reading the evidence and putting two and two together immediately announced that it would sooner or later result in Secretary Ballinger having to retire from President Taft's cabinet. It look- Grilling Secretary Ballinger ed for a time as if the storm would all blow over after the president gave Mr. Ballinger a clean bill of fare, but the trouble would not down and it became so acute as the time grew on that Secretary Ballinger himself has now come forward and demanded a thorough investigation, to which the president has unwillingly consented. The secretary firmly believes that he will be vindicated by the investigating committee, and, he may be but, if he is, the work of the committee must be so high above reproach and public criticism that it will show both Pinchot and Glavis to be unexampled scoundrels, if it washes Ballinger's skirts from the tarnish that has been placed thereon. Richard A. Ballinger, comparatively speaking, almost in a night stepped from a man in ordinary financial circumstances into a millionaire's shoes and that of itself has caused a great deal of unfavorable comment among the citizens of the country and especially in the Northwest where he has resided for so many years. ```markdown ``` 2 THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN.

The club is made up largely of some of the cleverest newspaper correspondents in the United States and these annuals are given, to which the leading figures about the national capitol are invited, as a bit of reciprocity for the innumerable favors the correspondents expect and verily get from the office holding army during the ensuing year. At the recent annual the CookPeary north pole controversy was made the "paramount issue," the settlement of which showed up the political standing of many of the nation's leading characters. On this point the following questions and rejoinders served as political morsels to the assembled guests: "How far was it, Dr. Cook, to the pole from where you left the land" "About as far as President Taft found it from the insurgent [Name] 4 Harry Lane Wilson Who for many years was pro Spokane county and the state of one day this week named by Pres position he has had his heart set Among the politicians of the state who know him say he is one of produced in the Northwest.

"I did, and here it is," declared Henson, and he planted a huge barber pole in front of the party. Matters now moved rapidly. "Mr. Peary, do you think you could discover the wickedest man in America?" "He has already been discovered by Senator La Follette." "Well, then, could you discover the man in the country who most nearly approaches perfection?" "La Follette has discovered him, too." "Doctor, did you see the aurora borealis up there?" "Yes; many times." "What did it look like?" "Just like the halo President Taft in his Boston speech put on Senator Aldrich." "Mr. Peary, did you see any- ```markdown ``` "What is his name?"

Asked whether he could discover a means of convincing Gifford Pinchot that Theodore Roosevelt is not now president of the United States, Dr. Cook replied: "I fear not.

"I did, and here it is," declared Henson, and he planted a huge barber pole in front of the party. Matters now moved rapidly. A member of the club produced the real explorers and denounced the men being examined as frauds. They were ordered shaved. "Matt" Henson produced a stage razor and in a minute they stood revealed as Ira E. Bennett, of the Washington Post, and E. L. Keen, of the United Press, the two new members of the club. The club laid claim to the honor of having discovered the pole, nevertheless, and the new members were admitted. In order to provide appropriate dishes for the guests with particular appetites, the club utilized the talents of a restauranteur and chef who had come down from Nome to get pointers for entertaining President Taft when --- "Bwana Tumbo." E.W.WAY & CO. ANCHOR YOUR SAVINGS IN SEATTLE BAILEY BUILDING SEATTLE BEST BOARD COMPANIES REAL ESTATE-INSURANCE he visits Alaska next summer. Secretary Knox asked for a large hot bird, and the chef promptly served up Crane. When Speaker Cannon said he wanted something that would remind him of Victor Murdock, the restaurant man bawled out to the chef: "One red headed duck, and let the blood drip!" Deviled lobster with the claws removed was the order of Attorney General Wickersham. "One busted trust," shouted the boss of the Nome restaurant. "Oh, sugar!" retorted the chef. Captain Butt, President Taft's military aid, thought he'd like to have a dish of hash with red peppers and tobasco sauce. "One order of Roosevelt policies," was the direction of the chef. When Secretary Wilson put in a plea for scrambled eggs, the order, as passed to the kitchen, was "Ballinger-Pinchot for one." During the dinner messages were received by members of the club from various managing editors, who apparently were not aware that their correspondents were temporarily "off the job." "Interview Taft at once," said one, "whether he isn't going to start something. If not, why not? Washington stuff too tame. Must reduce expenses Washington bureau unless you can keep up to mark of last seven years." Another read: "Interview Taft, Ballinger, Hitchcock and Chief Justice Fuller on Roosevelt conspiracy. Get signed statements from Taft and Fuller. Hurry flashlight photographs of conspirators' meeting. One of the more strenuous stunts of the evening was a prize fight in which the participants, as announced by the club's sporting editor, were: "Battling Nelson Aldrich, the Rhode Island Terror, who has put the wallop over on every mut he's ever gone up against; 'Kid' Cummins, the Iowa Demon, fresh from the corn fields, out for a reputation; Achilles Ballinger, the Siwash Sirocco, Bully Boy of the Alaska Coal Fields; 'Gif' Pinchot, the Fighting Lumber Jack, who fears nooe—not even the Constitution, and 'Joe' Cannon, the Danville Bantam, fresh from his finish fight with the W.

Among the articles removed from the gloves of the fighters by the club's referee, after they entered the ring, were a piece of steel from Aldrich, an axe from Pinchot (apparently intended for Ballinger), poker chips from FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1909 ummer. a large comptly said he could re-urdock, sed out headed Cannon and a lump of coal from Ballinger. After a furious mix-up of about two minutes there was a general scramble to get out of the ring, Cannon being the last to limp away. The contest was declared a draw. Parodies on the popular songs of the day, of which the following was a fair sample, were sprinkled through the dinner: Now I oosevelt once was President, O yes, he was: But Mister Taft now ruus the job, O yes, he does: Roosevelt now has gone a-hunting, Shooting with his might and main; So the politicians sing This musical refrain: We love, we love, we love Roosevelt, But oh you Taft!

President William Howard Taft, Vice President Sherman and a great many of the diplomatic representatives from foreign countries, senators, representatives in Congress and leading business men were present and enjoyed the tongue fest as well as the excellent menu.

Bradsberry of Skagit county spent a few days in the city this week and discussing the United States senatorial situation said: "Skagit county, in my opinion, will give Senator Wilson and overwhelming majority. The Republican voters of Skagit county have been thoroughly convinced that Senator Wilson can get more for the state than any one else and they know him to be a loyal Republican, an exposer of public corrupters and they will therefore give him a loyal support. I myself will do everything in my power to nominate and elect the Hon. John L. Wilson. Hon. William Bishop of Jefferson county was seen on the streets of Seattle last Wednesday and was soon discussing the senatorial situation. "In my opinion the Hon. John L. Wilson will sweep the northwest in the primary contest. I do not favor the idea of King county selecting a candidate for senator and then commanding the other counties to get in and drill for him. If there are three candidates for the senatorship in King county let them go into the campaign just like the outside candidates and then let the best man win. I am for Wilson." George H.

Second row—M. J. Carrigan, Robert T. Hodge, George F. Vanderveer, T. P. Storey. Third row—Dan R. Abraham, Otto A. Case, James Morrison, Thos. A. Parish. The most of whom are very much in the lime light on account of the grand jury which has been looking into their official acts. Thus far County Clerk D. K. Sickles has not been roped into the fight. James Morrison like Mr. Sickles seems to be steering clear of the trouble. Thomas P. Storey has retired from office as has Thomas A. Parrish. Their successors do not seem to be mixed up in the grand jury investigation. Until the grand jury makes its returns, however, its hard to say who will get it in the neck. Political Pot-Pie As was predicted in The Seattle Republican last week J. W. Bullock has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination of councilman at large as a successor to either F. P. Mullen or F. H. Hurd. He is a splendid young business man and is as popular with those who have done business with him as he is punctual. F. H. Hurd has filed for the Republican nomination of councilman at large to succeed himself and aside from his general good reputation, which was gone into at length in other campaigns, he relies upon the record he has made in office to pull him through in the coming campaign. Frank P. Mullen has not filed for the nomination of councilman at large to succeed himself, but it is very evident that he intends doing so before the filing time expires. He has twice been elected to four year terms in the city council from at large and he believes he has made a good enough record to warrant the people in giving him a third term. E. T. Schoff, a well known attorney, has filed his intention of standing for the Republican nomination for councilman from the Eleventh ward. There have already a number of others filed for the same nomination and Mr. Schoff feels that one more could not possibly complicate the situation very much more than it already is. The joke of the coming municipal campaign is the filing of Miller Freeman for the Republican nomination for councilman from the Seventh ward to succeed T. P. Revelle. If Freeman is Revelle's only opponent he will not be able to say, when it is all over, "I also ran." First of all since when has Freeman been a Republican? Secondly, what kind of an axe has he to grind by seeking to get into the city council? Is he the candidate of the railroad company that his father in law represents? If so, why take a second hand dose of the proposition by nominating Ereeman, when the father in law could be elected and thereby save time and trouble for the railroad company? Ed. L. Terry is making a clean cut campaign for the Republican nomination of city treasurer and he finds that he has even more supporters than he had ever thought he had. Just what the grand jury is doing is mere speculation, but it is freely predicted by the prognosticators that no less than a quarter of a hundred persons more or less prominent in the political affairs of Seattle and King county will be indicted before it adjourns. During the week charges and counter charges have been made by county officials and others as to shortages in the different offices until to the outsider it would seem that its another case of, when thieves fall out honest men get their own. The Head shortage set the tongue of Otto A. Case to wagging and then ex-Auditor James P. Agnew got busy defending himself against alleged charges made by Case, which he subsequently denied, and it seemed for a while that a coroner's jury instead of the grand jury would have to go into the investigating business. Whether or not the grand jury will have to adjourn at the expiration of the present month is a question of legal dispute and rather than to complicate things it may do so, but if it does another grand jury should be called at once for there certainly seems to be a great deal of rottenness in official circles in the county of King The Hon.

Address: 537-539 Burke Build- Nov. 18—Dec. 31, 1909. 8 A Southern Christmas Perhaps, dear reader, you have never lived in the South, though you may have been temporarily residing there when Christmas time came round, in which case you have some vague idea of what Chistmas in the South is in comparison to what it is in the section or country where you were when a child. There may be some other place under the sun where Christmas brings an equal amount of good cheer as in the South, but it is very doubtful, and this is especially true as to the large plantations far remote from city or town life. But even there slowly and surely those old time Christmas, so dear to the heart of both white and black folks, are being supplanted with the more up to date Christmas festivities common to the civilized sections of the United States. No longer do the younger element among the blacks of the plantation patiently wait for midnight of Christmas eve to come that they can sally forth and stealthily enter their neighbors house and break forth with "Crismus gif," amid the deafening rejoinder of those in waiting, only to receive a cup of egg-nog and other edibles especially prepared for that occasion. No longer do the men lay in great supplies of protechnic fireworks for display on Christmas morning nor pounds of black gun powder for cannonading during the day. No longer do the blacks don their "Sunda Close" and go to the great house of the plantation for Christmas delicacies that were laid in at least a week prior, when the six mule team took a load of cotton to town and the boss sold it and sent the wagon home laden to the brim with "Christmas goodies." Oh no, Booker Washingtonism has brought changes in Christmas celebrations in the South. Northern ideas of Christmas celebration have taken deep root in the South, at least among the Negroes, and the roaring dogs of war have been silenced, the deafening shouts of "Crismus gif" have been supplanted with, Merry Christmas, and yet Christmas is still the most joyful holiday of the year in the South. And nothing is more natural. First of all the citizens of the South are of a very religious turn of mind and their feasts are more of a religious nature than a worldly one. Then again the working folk, and few others except in the larger cities, never have any money except at Christmas time. They have gathered and sold their cotton and for one week their time is their own and they are encouraged to have a great time. In olden times they could go to see relatives nine and ten miles from home. The man of fifty summers now looks back and Christmas time of his childhood is a dream in comparison to what it is at present even in the South. The Negro once content with, "Christmus comes but once a year, let every nigger have his shear," now sits down to his Christmas repast prepared by his daughter, who has returned from Tuskegee or some similar school or perhaps from Yale, Dartmouth, Harvard or some other classical school of the North and wonders, what the ensuing year will bring forth. The white man assembles his children about his festal board and relates to them the Christmas events of his childhood and as he does so sighs for days long gone and wonders, if the niggers have really gone stark mad. Found More Worthy Subjects "Did I make any New Year resolutions?" repeated the bacholor girl. "Yes, one. Want to know? Oh, well, I don't mind telling you. I've made up my mind to spend next Christmas differently. "I intend to make an altogether different disposition of my presents hereafter. The places that knew them shall know them no more, and the wilderness, where no presents have ever been, is going to blossom with mine. "You see, it is this way: When I sat down to think it all over—the worry and the fuss and the money I spent—I came to the conclusion that, outside of the nearest and dearest, I gave only three or four gifts that were really worth while—that is, that gave me any actual happiness to give and brought real joy to others. "These three or four were the things I gave to—well, it doesn't matter whom, but they were people who sadly needed them, who didn't expect them and who couldn't make any return except a broken gratitude that hurt you to listen to. "Why, no, certainly I'm not crying," and the bachelor girl smiled dashingly through moist yes. "But I don't mind telling you it was the happiest part of my Christmas. And hereafter those are the sort of people I'm going to give to. "I think I shall write a jolly little note to each of the relatives and friends with whom I usually exchange presents. I shall send these notes long enough before Christmas to forestall anybody's buying presents for me. "In the notes I shall convey my best love and my Christmas wishes. I shall also explain why I intend to send no present this year—that I propose making all my gifts to those whose only claim upon me is their need. I shall add that I am certain they will like this original method of disposing of their gifts. And I shall further say that if they want to make me happy and to enjoy the jolliest kind of Christmas themselves they will please take the money they had intended to spend on me and do likewise with it. In this way every dollar we give will be well spent and make somebody really glad. "So that's my New Year resolve. Unselfish? That's all you know." The bachelor girl laughed. "It's horribly selfish. Didn't I tell you I was going to do it merely because it made one happier?"-Philadelphia Bulletin. Handel's Messiah Still Lives More than a century and a half have flown since the great Christmas oratorio, Handel's "Messiah" was written, but the music, like the theme, will never die. Rather, like its theme again it grows more popular with the passing years. It was first given in Dublin for the cause of charity, for Handel had a specially warm spot in his heart for the Irish people, and he was never happier than when helping the poor and needy. When writing the oratorio, which has for its theme the advent of Messiah, it seemed as if Handel was inspired. So transported was his soul that he says "I did think I saw heaven before me, and the great God himself." The sublime grandeur of the Hallelujah Chorus touches the emotions of well nigh every hearer. As is well known the audience invariably rises when this chorus is sung. This custom dates back to the first time George II of England heard it. He was so affected by the wondrous majesty of its music that he leaped to his feet and remained standing, the audience, of course, following his example. Many hundreds of choirs in America and England repeat the joyful and sublime strains of the Messiah at every Chrismastide. What of Santa Claus No Santa Claus? Yes, my little man, there is a Santa Claus, thank God! The world would indeed be poor without one. It is true that he does not always wear a white beard and drive a reindeer team—not always, you know—but what does it matter? He is Santa Claus with the big, loving, Christmas heart, for all that; Santa Claus with the kind thoughts for every one that make children and grown-up people beam with happiness all day long. And shall I tell you a secret which I did not learn at the postoffice, but it is true all the same—of how you can always be sure your letters go to him straight by the chimney route? It is this: send along with them a friendly thought for the boy you don't like; for Jack who punched you, or Jim who was mean to you. The meaner he was the harder to you resolve to make it up; not to bear him a grudge. That is the stamp for the letter to Santa. Nobody can stop it, not even a cross draught in the chimney, when it has that on. Because — don't you know, Santa Claus is the spirit of Christmas; and ever and ever so many years ago when the dear little Baby was born after whom we call Christmas, and was cradled in the manger out in the stable because there was not room in the inn, that Spirit came into the world to soften the hearts of men and make them love one another. Therefore, that is the mark of the Spirit to this day. Don't let anybody or anything rub it out. Then the rest doesn't matter. Let them tear Santa's white beard off at the Sunday school festival and grown in his bearskin coat. These are only his disguises. The steps of the real Santa Claus you can trace all through the world as you have done here with me, and when you stand in the last of his tracks you will find the Blessed Babe of Bethlehem smiling a welcome to you. For then you will be home.— Jacob A. Riis in "Our Dumb Animals" for December. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, for King County D. L. Copeland, Plaintiff, vs. J. L.
