that some dny a war would mus

the art of healing was largely a
bearded calling from Galen

physician first grew a beard and
then hung out his shingle."

Is There A Santa Claus?
We have received a request to reprint what is
termed "Charles A. Dana's editorial entitled 'Is There
a Santa Claus?' " We have printed this famous clas
sic several times in the past but gladly print it again.
It was not written by Mr. Dana, however, although
this is the general impression, for it appeared in the
New York Sun while he was its editor.
It was written by Francis P. Church, an editorial
writer on the Sun.
The article originally
but the author's identity
April 12, 1906, the day after Mr. Church's death.
Here it is:
We take pleasure in
prominently the communication below, expressing at
the same time our great gratification that its faithful
author is numbered among
"Dear Editor: I am eight 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.'
. i "Please tell me tbe, truth, is there a Santa Claus?
"Virginia O'Hanlon.
"115 West Ninety-fifth street."
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They
have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical
age. They do not believe except they see. They
think that nothing can be which is not comprehens
ible 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 intellect, as compared with the boundless
world about him, as measured by the intelligence cap
able of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
e e e
VES, Virginia, there is a
certainly as love and
exist, and vou know that
vour life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how
dreary would be the world if there were no Santa
Claus ! It would be as dreary as if there were no Vir
ginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no
poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence.
We should have no enjoyment, 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 the chimneys on Christmas eve to
catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa
Claus comincr down, what would that prove? Nobody
sees Santa Claus, but that
Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are
those that neither children nor men can see. Did you
ever see fairies dancing en the lawn? Of course not,
but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody
can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are un
seen and unseeable in the world.
YOU tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes
the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the
unseen world which not even the 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, Virginia,
nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will
continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

The prophets and specialists
In predicting things to com, are
still running wild. Most of them
are very pessimistic. Many seem
determined to scare everybody
stiff. One of this latter group
has come out with a prophecy
fixing the date New York City
is to be destroyed from the air.
He also Is featuring a prediction
which fixes the date of the end
of the world. Then we have a
great number of gloomy men of
science who. In tragic tones, are
voicing a wide variety of pre
dictions on what some nasty
men of other countries are like-
! ly to do to us If, and when, they
solve the secret of the atomic
bomb. In connection with this
superabundance o f prophetic
tripe 1 call your attention to the
following advice of Sir Thomas
More:
And why afl itupld to lend an ear
To talis alarm of .mating fear?
If evil romei not, then our feari
are vain.
And If they do, dread will In
crease the pain.

Note it Is stated that If you
occasionally forget the name of
a man you know well lt indi

quizr.es designed to aid a fellow
to find out If he amounts to
anything. Last nlRht I answer
ed one titled "What Kind of a
Husband-Lover Are You?" The
result w a s discouraging. I
didn't pass. Am only a 84 per
cent husband-lover. I might
have passed If I could have ans
wered the following In the af
firmative: "Do you whistle with
delighted surprise, as you Aid
before marriase, when your
wife appears all dressed up to
step out with you?" I never
whistle. However. I do exclaim
"some oomph girl!" or words to
that effect. I should get some
credit for that. Maybe I am
really a 68 percent husband
lover.

men . . . Cocker Spaniel owner
wants to know how the breed
got Its name. A Cocker Is so
called because he was originally
bred to hunt woodcocks. A
Springer Spaniel is so named
because he "springs" or .drives
the birds out of brush so the
hunter can get a shot at them.
Knitting
Knitting is supposed to be a
strictly feminine activity. How
ever I know a wounded war
veteran, one who was decorated
for bravery, who has taken up
knitting In a large way. He
knits sweaters which are so
good he sells them for $100
each. At present his best cus
tomers are motion picture peo
ple in Beverly Hills.
Southpaws
Do you know a man and wife
who are both left-handed? Lt.
Melville Schmidt and his charm
ing wife Jean of Kansas City
are southpaws. L e f t-handed
husbands and wives are said to
be very temperamental and
difficult to get along with.
That Is, If married to a right
handed person. Suppose it Is
different when both are left
handed. They probably under
stand each other.
News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Dec. 13 The
war which the C.I.O. declared
upon President Truman for
daring to sug
gest fact-finding
on threats
of n a 1 1 o n al
strikes is de
veloping cov
ertly upon
the familiar
pattern of the
a g a n d a
wars of the
Roosevelt ad
ministration. It got start
hui Ala iimd
ed promptly this week. The
first I personally noticed of it
was Monday morning, when the
incoming mall on my desk In
cluded ten letters of the old
you so-an-so' 'type. Since Mr.
Truman came into office these
had become practically extinct.
MY own minor section of the
l,nv nnn horl faff Antn.J
-wn pup IIWVI IVIICLICM a
unnnlmity of appeal toward
reasoning and fairness. Then
ail of a sudden there developed
this wash of diatribe trivia in
typical type, not BRninst any
point In particular. The venom
glands of the minority vox pop
quite apparently are being re
leased.
Some editors Informed me
their own "letters to the editor"
features were suddenly being
used for similar denunciations,
not only of the president, but
even down to obscure persons
who merely had been known to
favor his mild solution of the
problem.
These manifestations betray
the usual propaganda technique
of organized drives, although,
so far, this one seems less wide
spread and less effective than
those of Roosevelt times.
The theme for the war is be
ing set at a rather high pitch.
The premise publicly fixed by
the auto union leaders Is that
fact-finding before strikes
would be "slavery."
Of course, the railroad broth
erhoods have grown into the
strongest and richest of all the
unions In 19 years under this
same fact-finding and cooling
off "slavery." but this fact is
rarely mentioned, while the
thought that the Truman pro
posal Is vicious Is continuously
dinned into the popular ear and
eye.
VOU can see more clearly
what Is being done In the
work of a lady columnist who
has been used for years to pro
mote these drives . tinder her
own name. She says:
"I think we had better watch
out for enslavement from the
fascist side," and urges that no
curtailment of any union ac
tivities be attempted for fear
of promoting fascism.
This propaganda reoresents
no development from the old.
familiar themes, which went
over so well with the public
when a fascist power existed In
the world, particularly in Ger
many and Italy.
But now that the world fas
cist leaders are condemned to
the gallows or worse, hardly
any reasonable person can
awaken In the morning, all
atremble, to pray that this day
will save him from enslave
ment by nonexistent fascists. A
senator promises the lady 10
cents a head for every Ameri
can fascist she can name. Chas
ing fascist hobgoblins is a dead
sport.
The truth Is democracy has
never been to popular in mod
ern times as it is In this coun
try today, and I mean pure
American democracy, in contra
distinction to the eommunlst or
fascist type.
1HE war on Truman, there-
fore, is not going well in
congress, where the issue will
be decided. (While the campaign
is aimed at the president, the
matter is technically out of his
hands.)
In congress the C. I. O. has
found no hope except to delay
or amend the proposal. All
along a majority has been ready
to vote for such mild restraint
on strikes as this, or much
stronger ones.
The republicans and party'
democrats generally want some
thing much stronger. Adminis
tration Inside opposition previ
ously prevented action. Its as
sumption of leadership on this
issue leaves the unions' bloc
alone. In the senate this would
not rustle over 15 votes of the
96 on a straight-cut; In the
house the percentage would be
higher, but no more effective.
Thus the unions have been
forced to restrain themselves to
trying to throw the matter over
beyond the Christmas holidays
by warning against haste while
organizing their propaganda.
This is the best they can do.

REMEMBER THE ELDERS
To the Editor:
This wee Christmas message
is for you, and you, and you.
Our Bible says: James 1:27
"Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father, is
this, to visit the fatherless and
widows In their affliction. And
to keep himself unspotted from
the world."
Perhaps no child in America
will lack a full Christmas stock
ing this year. Can this be said
also of all needy, lonely aged
folks?
How about you, friend?
Is there a lonely old soul In
your block, in your home, per
haps, longing, hungering for a
kind gesture; a joyous word; an
outdoor jaunt; or a bit of Christ
mas cheer?
"Don't you hear them bells
those S. A. kettle bells?
Are you remembering mother
and dad a bit more generously
than ever before? How about
Grandma and Grandpa this fes
