Yesterday's headlines show the world is a long, long way from practicing the angelic procla mation of nineteen centuries ago. Labor war, thousands of jobless to seek compensation, lottery phenangling, quake in Mexico, auto accidents, a woman fined for selling wine to mi nors, nostoffice employe goes wrong, factional strife in Egypt, tension between Japan and the United States, all these are spread over the front page of the paper. , "Peace on earth among men of goodwill," the saying has a hollow sound this 1937. ; But there have been other desperate times in human his tory. Wars and discords, plagues and famines have recurred Since LUC Ui Jlllill iainiiis. luai. u uiue n-c uuiuau spu 1 1 ciu erged with some degree of triumph. Dark as the times appear to be, the world should not be sour today and regard the Christmas message as old hypocrisy. Let peace and goodwill reign today in the hearts of men and women everyw here. Merry Christmas to all! Louisiana's Golden Rule Louisiana is boasting because of the recent investment of $37,000,000 of private capital in that state under Gov. Leche's "golden rule" policy toward business. There are 82 new fac tories going up or completed in that ; state, and the governor proclaims "we've only brushed the surface." Gov. Leche says : "We have guaranteed business against burdensome legislative restrictions and political harass ment" This new policy includes a ten-year exemption from prop erty taxes. Probably it includes also the south's usual guaran tee of protection against high labor costs. This is a form of sectional competition which makes na tional control seem neeessary. Northwest pulp mills face dif ficult times, especially the kraft mills, against this "golden rule" policy of Louisiana. Here the mills have to pay the us ual property taxes, and high wages besides. Part of the new development in Louisiana is due to late discoveries of how to use southern slash pine in kraft paper making. Add to cheap raw material the special advantages of tax exemption and low wages and the Louisiana's golden rule for industry be comes a pain in the neck for northern mills which try to sell in the same national markets. Bits for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS Dictator for a Day! Christmas DorTts Add to Christmas "don'ts" : 1 Don't eat too much; and don't drink too much of what you shouldn't drink of at all. Don't drive too fast or recklessly. Don't use open flame candles on a Christmas tree ; if you do, don't start lighting those on the bottom branches, be gin at the top and work down. Don't wear cotton flannel clothing or use cotton batting around lighted candles or around an open fireplace or near a heating stove. Don't use inferior strings of electric lights for tree light ing. Don't let any fire come near the tree because its needles are highly inflammable. Don't keep the tree in the house longer than necessary, because the needles dry out and become a greater fire risk. Don't try to consume all the Christmas candy in one day. Don't rely on New Year's resolutions to cover Christmas dissipation. I Add Ashes At Astoria Gov. Martin said it would "give me great satisfaction to kick the pants off the national labor relations board." Why cuss out the board? The board is merely the cre ature of the Wagner act passed by congress and signed by the president. The disease is in the limitations of the Wag ner act, not in the board created to enforce it. The governor should kick Sen. Wagner in the pants and his fellow congress members who voted for the bill; and kick Pres. Roosevelt in the pants, if he finds the Wagner act offensive; not the NLRB whose only power is to crack down on employers. The governor in the same speech referred to that "mis erable secretary of labor." Hardly: a gallant reference to a lady. Gov. Martin may hold her in contempt as a public of n cial, but such a reference grates on the public ear. After all, governor, you helped fasten the Roosevelt administration on the state and country. Wear a little sackcloth yourself. Tbe telegram from former Governor Land on to Pres. Roosevelt in hearty support of tbe president's foreign policy was reassuring to the president as tbe tone of his reply shows. Gov. Landon, as a leader in the republican party was entitled to speak with a degree of authority for his party in expressing that endorsement. Party lines fade out when it comes to maintaining the integrity of tbe United States. As the president -says we cannot close our eyes to events taking place elsewhere in the world. One country cannot fly the globe. when anar chy is on the loose. -'...'. , Looking ahead a quarter century one can see the federal budget divided in about three parts one third being paid in interest on government bonds by wealthy who thus duck taxation; another third eoinx to maintain the ordinary establishment of government: an other third going to meet relief and social security claims which go to the folk at the low end of the income bracket. The middle class get the privilege of working to pay taxes, to provide funds for these expenditures. A million laborers are said to be building a motor highway across Asia to connect Russia and central China. They could do no better worn man to open up tne one-time ceiestiai empire witn roaasi i ne highway will survive the war and serve the ends of peace, Jusf as the Roman roads, built for the easy movement of legions, remained the great thoroughfares of traffic, long after the fall of Rome. ' 3 - The Astorian-Budget, discussing Got. Martin's speech in Astoria ays: "The 'damns and 'hells with which he flavored his remarks by way of giving expressive empbasis to them were not shocking even to the ladies present." That Is doubtless correct. In fact the ladies ap pear to like It, strong he-man stuff; so they get quite a giggle out of the governor's damns" and "hells.' , Reports from a rural area say the schoolhouse was peppered with bb. shot by a Saturday hunter? It will never be known what the nimrod thought he was shooting at but it was probably a jackrabbit. Perry In Medford MaU-Tribune. - A good Job is waiting for that hunter in the Jap air fleet. .- , John D. M. Hamilton, republican national chairman, predicts gains tor republicans in the congressional elections ot 1938, but not eneugh to get control of the house. That should give the party real relief. What worry they would suffer If they had to take over. Better let the nudealers stew in" their grease another biennlam. Tes, there is a Santa . 12-25-37 Clans, and ten times ten thousand years hence he will gladden the hearts of childhood: ;':';v; V .;;-. When the New York Sun flour ished, a long generation ago, un der the ownership of Charles A. Dana, American scholar, author, statesman, a leading editorial writer on that then great news paper was Frank P. Church. One day In that period a letter reached through the mails the ed itorial desks of that newspaper, and it was turned over to Mr. Church, which resulted, under the caption "IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?" in the appearance in a prominent place on the editorial page of The Sun of the words which follow: "We take pleasure In answering at once and thus prominently. the communication below, expressing at the Bame time our gratification that its faithful author Is num bered among the friends of The Sun: V " 'Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. " 'Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. " 'Papa says 'If you see It in The Sun it's so.' " 'Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Clans?' " 'Virginia O'Hanlon a S "Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affect ed by the scepticism of a sceptical j age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is "not comprehen sible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's are little. In this great universe of ours man is a 'mere insect, an ant, in his in tellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the Intelligence cap able of grasping the whole . of truth and knowledge. - S "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to yonr life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Clans! It would be as dreary as if there were no Vir ginias. There would be no child like faith then, no poetry, no ro mance to make tolerable this ex istence. We should have no en joyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe In Santa Claus! You might as well not believe In fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch all the chim neys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down. what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that Is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see the fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine aU the wonders there are unseen and un seeable in the world. a You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise Inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not me strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy. poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there Is nothing else real and abiding 'No Santa Claus? Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virgin ia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continne to. make glad the heart of child hood." So ended the editorial in the isew lork sun, when that news paper was the newspaper men s newspaper; their Bible, so to Speak, wherever they worked in this country, and in other coun tries. It was unique in its editor ial ability, its independence. It led the way; made newspaper history, and other history. . What was said In its columns was quoted everywhere. "He is a good man and weighs 300 pounds," the Sun said of Hancock, candidate for the presidency. This damning him with faint praise helped to defeat him. That was only a sample. There were hund reds, thousands. The 8 year old Virginia O'Han lon grew into womanhood, and be came through the fact of her in spiration of the famed editorial a public character. She was alive until a recent date; may be living yet. Church himself answered his final "30" call of the newspaper fraternity several years ago. The father of little Virginia O'Hanlon had ample reason for telling his daughter that "It you see it in The Sun it's so." because that newspaper carried those words constantly . in one of its ears. You perhaps" will ask, "where are a newspaper's ears?" Oh, they are the spaces on the right and left sides of the newspaper's title, its head; its name. .'' ... W IH5 Cog Hit, Kmmmhmix.n. Uc VmUm-A iWHHtit KT4tiV The Safety Valve Letters from Statesman Readers CHRISTMAS 1937 O that night of joy and wonder. Twenty centuries ago When a choir of shining angels Set the midnight skies aglow; Glory be to God the Father, Peace and amity on earth; This the night, in yonder Beth- le'em. Of the Saviour's promised birth. O those hills of old Judea, Would they might the song repeat. Echo still that angel chorus. Multitudinous and sweet. Hark the theme of that first carol: Glory is to God alone, Peace, to men who dwell in kind ness And who worship at Ills throne. But the emphasis Is altered. Men to men avow their debt. Laud the man who sates their hunger, Spares their brow, from honest sweat. Now a superman we're seeking Who will free all minds from care, wave a wana or pusn a button. Pull ambrosia from the air. Once the blood of Cain's dead brother Cried out from the ground to God, Now the blood of myriad brothers Cries out from a crimson sod; Not with fist or clumsy budgeon. (Caught in anger's swift affray) Now we kill with shrewd inven tions In a diabolic way. So once more on Christmas morning, Choirs will chant and bells will ring, But the "peace on earth" is lack ing Till from righteousness it spring. Meekness, and not pride nor power. Yields the fruit of peace, good will; Christ was cradled in a manger. Meek souls are his dwelling still. EMMA M. WIIEALDON. .
