In! he heart of youth is the place to sow its seeds, whether | hey be of the birth of a saviour or of the existence of Santa Claus. Of the one will grow the striving for the erfect life, out of the other the spirit of mellow cheer ‘hey are both good influences. The one has been the} ornerstone of Christian civilization, of our morals, our | nlightenment, of our democratic institutions. It has jade men brotherly. At this time of the year the good afluence of the Santa faith joins with this brotherliness or a kindly expression in cheerful benevolence to the ‘ss fortunate. Every good fellow takes on the spirit . hd personality of the old saint to do the work of Christ. fow true this is was demonstrated in the celebrations iveh the children of Bismarck at the auditorium, the “dons den and the G. P. cafe the last two days. There ‘as a blend of the Christ-spirit and of the Santa-spirit } what transpired there. The scenes were such as to goke the emotions of the older folks who were privilegd @ look on. At the auditorium, 1.700 children were mad: feel happy that there was such a time as Christmas; the Christmas afternoon dinners at the G.

It brought the sponsors of the entertainments, the pifts and the dinners face to face with the need of such od fellowship in the city, for in it all was the evidenc: hat there is all too much neediness and privation amonz ne less fortunate of the city. In part this may be due @ some shiftlessness among parents, but, whatever the dause, it is the children who suffer. That is why this Sindly benevolence should be in the harness at all times, wready to serve where the suffering of children is to be a As said before in reference to the temporary activity #€ the Christmas spirit, now that the Christmas shop- and gift giving is all over, and the spirit of gener- ky is about to return to its wonted subsidence for an- rener 50 weeks, it might be a good thing to take a look ; our annual custom of providing Christmas gifts for > unfortunate. M5 begin with, it’s a fine custom. We're a presperciis weuntry, but there are a great many people whe never ‘amve enough money to make a holiday out, of Christinas. ©@, in every city in the land, the people who are better uated get together to fix them up. They give them ¢od, clothing, fuel, toys, trinkets and so on, and the im- whilse back of it all is very fine. PMAnd yci—did it ever occur to you that there's some- ing wrong with the whole set-up? We dig down into our pockets to provide Christmas Meeecr for those who are less fortunate than ourselves— fetid ther. we very promptly forget all about them ‘MAy an entire year. At Christmas time we can't stand it to think that thin a mile of us there are men and women who aren't Hettting enough to eat, children who can't have a doctor Fe@en they're sick, whole families that go skidding along wae day to day on the ragged edge of nothing. So aut? Set busy and do something about it. hhagBut we won't bother our heads about it again until =e next Christmas comes along. We leave that to the "ivation Army and the Red Cross. They give in sub- ance but not in the spirit which marks Christmas =nerosity. TigThese people that we've helped this Christmas will lowst have to get along the best they can between times. tig they starve or freeze, or if their children are miserable cause of undernourishment or bad health, it will be st too bad. We won't even hear about it, and if we 7? We won't listen very hard. Bieht until next Christmas. Then we'll get busy again.

And, surely, we're not individually I for such things as unemployment. - RemBut our attitude is funny, just the same. t Christmas time the very thought of poverty bothers It makes us uneasy even to know that it exists. But lies ing the rest of the year we accept poverty as part of Noore natural order of existence. Okiasome day poverty will be abolished from the earth.

H. Gillett expires. pi fegitiat may seem a strange decision to many. The certainly will not be easy sledding for the Republican senatorial nominee when the voters again go to the Polls to make their selection. As the situation now stands, Mr. Coolidge has a prestige that might make him available again for the presidency though it is doubtful whether he ever would consent to make that race again. The presidency is hard work. It showed its aging process on the Northampton man in/ the seven years he occupied the chair. Arthur Brisbane thinks, however that he might be wil- ling to try for the White house again. He says: “If Mr. Coolidge runs for office again—and probably he will—it will be for an office bigger than a senatorship “Happy Mr. Coolidge; he got out in time to dodge the Wall Street crash. He left the pcople rolling over aud over in money, prosperity, higher wages and lower ccst of living. “If times get worse and it ‘looks like a Democrat. there will come a few brief words from New England and in will go Mr. Coolidge again, elected by the people for the second time.” ‘There is nothing at this time to indicate anything like | the prospect Mr. Brisbane creates. In 1932 Mr. Coolidge will be 60. Moreover, it is probable that Herbert Hoover will be the nominee in that year. Then, in 1936, Mr. Coolidge would be 64. These factors put it rather beyond possibility that Calvin Coolidge ever will seek the presi- dency again. And anything short of the presidency would not add to his public stature. That also is one reason why he may not want to run for the senate. Andrew Johnson was one president who took that course, but death cut his career short, so that his case does not make an illum- inating example to be guided by. As a mere citizen, Calvin Coolidge will get a big re- action out of his remaining years. His fellow citizens have not lost interest in him by his retirement to private life. Magazine articles are demanded from him, direc- torships in financial and fiduciary institutions are at his call, the papers find him a source of frequent news and pictures. His fame is waning slowly. This leads to the thought of what an interesting book HAR-RR-RUME ~~ EGAD ~ MY DEAR BROTHER HooT ~ BARN ~ AND SCREECH OWLS fae HIS RADIO 'S A GIFT “TO “THE CLUB FROM DONATIONS GIVEN FOUR OF US MEMBERS FOR SINGING CHRISTMAS CAROLS AROUND “THE CITY! wwe ~~~ BROTHERS, I HAVE PREPARED A PRESENTATION SPEECH AND I BEG YouR ATTENTION ~~ AUEMe- KAEF= KAFR W. ~~ EGAD, FRIENDS, TO REALIZE He MARVELS OF MODERN SCIENCE, LET US REFLECT BACK -fo THE ERA OF “THE CAVEMAN wwe ~QUIET PLEASE / un.

Our scheme of government puts the man who leaves the White house in a peculiar position. Usually he is; just at the height of his powers, and often he is like- wise at the height of his popularity; yet his course of action when he returns to private life is definitely limited. He 1s considered more or less out the picture po- | tically. It is not held quite cthical for him to plunge actively into business or professional life. About all he can do ts write—and muse, perhaps, on the way in which he has helped to shape history. ‘Through all of this, however, no matter how valiantly he strives to gain obscurity, he is still a public charac- ter. People want to know what he is doing, and how and why. Reporters and cameramen cannot leave him alone. His retirement is a public affair. ‘Thus there must come into the life of such a man 2 sense of anti-climax. It can hardly be plexsant for o man who still sees many active years stretching ahead of him to feel that he is definitely “on the shelf”’—that hi: active days are over, whether he likes it or not. = It is queer, when you stop to think about it. For,| & after all, the lot of the ex-president is precisely the lot| § which most of us, in our ambitious youth, would pick| ; for our own goals.

But ex-presidenis dont’ ordinarily seem to fcel tha! way. Wilson did not, and Roosevelt did not, and it is a fair guess that Coolidge likewise will find his retire- ment irksome after a while.
