It would be as dreary if {here were.no Virginias There could be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no en- joyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not belive in Santa Claus! You might well not believe in fairi You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys 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 no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can gee. Did you ever fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there| No- body can concel imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart.

A resolution approving the Coolidge Admin- istration was overwhelmingly adopted. So the Progressives of Wisconsin take a back seat after near a quarter century of autocartic Jeadership and dominancy—the La Follette tradi- tion passes. It is well. A man is no better dead than was when living, his principles and policies of no greater worth. It was the commanding per- gonality of the elder La Follotte that so long enabled him to remain as dictator of W sconsin’s polities. He was a fighter. But he was all too often wrong in his conceptions of public service and in his conceptions of American patriotism. He is gone and there was none to take his place. The great State of Wisconsin is' in the way of being politically redeemed. The enemies of President Coolidge and the policies of Republican administration have been confounded in one of | their most unrelenting strongholds. he 1f the demand of the Anti-Saloon League that 1 scofflaws be given prison sentences are heed- ed, it will mean a big boost for labor Every city will have to build all the way from nine to thirteen more jails.— (Macon Telegraph.)
