AFTER SANTA CLAUS AGAIN.

Last year, some ministers proposed
the Punishment OF Santa Claus from
this country, and this year New YORK
preacher advances a similar PROPOSE
ton. lie argues that Christmas has
become completely secularized" 1t Ia,
he says, an occasion for extravaganza,
overwork, and WEAKNESS, and AS such
Il is a reproach to religion. Better
abolish the festival" he eXclaims,
than make 1t semi-pagan saturna-
lia."
Preachers who, In the Christmas
festivities, can see nothing but eXtraY-
agance, overwork, and WEAKNESS, may
be excused for wishing the observ-
ance abolished But they are blind
and their judgment is worthless. Broth
erly love, unselhshness, faith, hope,
and charity are In evidence on all
hands at this time of the year. and this
is well. As long as Santa Claus lives,
the story OF the greatest Gift to the
world will never be entirely forgotten
II may be true that the season IL
one In which many abuses occur, but
our world would be empty and barren,
Indeed, If everything that Is abused
were done away with. That Is IRA
tional. During pagan times, the people
rejoiced and made merry at this time
of the year, because they saw In the
lengthenlng of the day another tri-
umph OF light over darkness, and a
pledge of the return Of life They
celebrated the near victory over the
ost-gIants and the coming resurrec-
ton OF all nature TO renewed activity.
The festival was continued after the
fan OF paganism, with the added mean
ing 70 II of the triumph Of the true
Light Of the world, Neither the church,
nor the world can do without such
festivals Their general influence Is
for good. Notwithstanding the fact chat
some abuse them. They are monu-
monts OF events Of history and the con-
temptation OF them often prepares the
heart for the reception of truth.

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE

The celebration at New orleans of
the transfer of the so-called Louisiana
purchase Is described as magnificent
And well It might be, for II was one
OF the great strides of this nation to-
wards world-emnence.
Napoleon sold the territory because
he was highly In need of money II
cost this country sl50o0,OO0, an enor-
nous sum IN 1903. But today that ter
rltory Is itself an empire In wealth.
Its agricultural products alone are
possibly worth hundred times the
purchase price, and It has become a
blessing to millions.
That event Is. further an ever re-
naming object lesson OF Gods provi-
dence leading this nation onward.
Louisiana was given us, against the
criticism and protests of many near
sighted Americans. Chance, some
would say, was working for US. There
was a revolution on Santo Domingo as
there is now. Napoleon had already

In that island. Further re-enforce"
ments would undoubtedly have fixed
French power on that portion OF the
country. But pestilence and the valor
OF the black men fighting for their lib
erty made II impossible for Napoleon
to realize his plan. Knowing that tn
fleet OF Great Britain was already IN
the Gulf ready to take New Orleans
by force Napoleon FASTENED the sale
and thrust Louisiana into our hands.
Thus God was working for us, as He
did anciently fer His chosen people

In spite OF the second failure of Pro-
fessor Langley's aeroplane TO soar, the
other day, we share the confidence
which the inventor displays when he
explains that "the accident was caused
by defect IN the launching apparatus
and not In the machine Itself APP
parently the backbone OF the ship was
broken as Il left the ways. II Is To
be remembered that out OF four eS-
perlments, Professor Langley has hal
one conspicuous success. As new In

very well. We should like the testi-
mony of some OF the worlds great m
ventors as to whether, IN their earliest
experiments, they averaged ore sue

tunity to test It, Is apparently entirely
satisfactory; and the new launching

LANGLEY's FAILURE.
Boston Herald.

Among boys there il an old saying,
"Swim like stone and dive like
feather" This Is brought to mind by
the series Of mishaps which have beset
the Langley machine that was to solve
the problem of aerial flight. Both times
that the aerodrome has been launched
into space II has quickly sought the
bottom of the river. Each time the In
Ventor has declared that II was not
the fault OF the flying machine, but Of
the launching mechanism. The first
time one might have inclined to the be-
lief that this was the real trouble, hut
with the second failure the public VIII
naturally ask for new reason and be
unsatlshed with the old one.

Solution Of Race Problem.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept. 13.-H. V.
Ia gleson, of this city, in conjunction with
a few other leading men of his race in this
State. has started n movement toward &C.
ing before the next Legislature with
request for an appropriation for an in
dustrial school for the young colored peo-
pie of Indiana. 1t Is fact not generally
known that such a bill was drawn at the
request of Mr.. Eagleson to be presented to
the last Legislature, but no definite steps
were taken, it was not thought the time
was ripe for such a movement. Since tnat
time EagIeson has been gathering statis-
tics throughout the country on the work
of Industrial schools. generally, and espe-
ciaily as they would apply TO colored peo-
pie. The result is that bill Is to be
drawn to be presented year hence, that
will ask for appropriation of not less
than $4,000 for a colored industrial school
The amount is to be expended for a small
building and then for equipment and few
teachers. The tuition is 10 be free, accord
ing to the plans, and both boys and girls
will be admitted on the same terms.

is no reason why colored man cannot
learn to make plow or a table or even
become a machinist, but where is he go
ing to start to learn trade? Under the
apprenticeship system as ruled by labor
unions the colored boy is practically shut
out of this great industrial field of labor.
But If we have an industrial school to
teach such things to the boys, then when

necessary. Such men want practical house.
wives, and. anyhow, colored girls must
learn the various trades as DO the white
girls IL their condition is to be improved.
The way to solve the race problem is to
teach colored people to do things as per-
fectly as white people, then they can take
care of themselves. 1 want Indiana to take
the first step in this advanced scheme of

the attendance and interest exceeded any
previous gathering. The first part of the
day was devoted to n basket picnic and peo-
pie from all parts of the county assembled
under the trees and enjoyed a good social
time. The forenoon programme consisted
of an invocation by Rev. David Il. King,
