After all, in the final analysis, the people must be the governing power, and it they tail to take ad vantage of our present advance in science, invention and education, to bring about better systems of gov ernment, with more equal opportu nity for all, a crowned king ean net. with his restricted power, accom- The Herald will reach subscrib ers Thursday morning of next week.

Ann Piersol played the part ot the Chris tmas Fairy and Frederick Gimble was the spokesman for Santa’s work ers. Marjorie Hughes spoke as the box of candy. Groucho would have Santa believe there were no children In the world who would not do without Christ mas presents for one year in order that another boy or girl might have a gift. They make a bet that San ta’s request for letters from child ren who would make this sacrifice, made over the radio, would not get response. Then Groucho plots to keep Santa from getting the letters, but is hampered by Peterkin who overhears a telephone conversation. Peterkin then sends the air line pilots after the bags of mail and Groucho is thwarted in his plot.
