SOCIALISM would be all right if
all men were on a dead level in
ability, thrift and energy; but to
my notion, one might as reason
ably hope to give to wood the te-
nacity and durability of steel as to
seek to ''equalize," through COM
mon holding and common oppor-
tunity, the integral factors of the
community. One man makes op-
portunity while another overlooks
it or rejects it when presented. I
do not deny that government as
at present instituted, is lop-sided
and unjust in many ways. 1t
cares too much for those least de-
serving..its favors and bears too
heavily upon those in greatest
need OF the help itmay.justly give.
BY 'shelp" | mean protection to the
right of every nan to the utmost
opportunity of working out his
earthly salvation. We cry, "equal
privileges to all and special favors
to none," and let it go at that,
while each interest is cunningly
and sedulously getting in its indi-
vidual "graft" upon the common
herd. 1t is no wonder Socialism
cries out against these wrongs; !;
but in my opinion, government
ownership and common holding
are not remedies for them.

Aftermath.

The White City has closed her
gates. The cold white walls of
her palaces stand as monuments
to departed glory. All nations
have come and bowed at her
shrine, and now King Frost reigns
supreme, spreading his diamond
flecked mantle over terrace and
lagoon. The great organ is silent.
The waters no longer rush down
the cascades, and the lagoons are
drained to the dregs. Great heavy
drays and unsightly carts roll up
and down the broad drive-ways
where recently coupe, carriage
and automobile dashed along, fill
ed with enthusiastic visitors.
Over the green carpet a white man
tie of snow has covered the rough
unsightly patches of broken earth
and sward. The transportation
building has been robbed of all
the great engines, and coach and
car and auto have all been hauled
away. Only a few pieces of ma
chinery remain to tell of the won-
ders SO recently housed beneath
it's shelter. The approach to many
of the buildings has been torn
away, in order to get the cars or
wagons near enough to load the
heavy pieces. A few of the ex-
hibitors tried to sell out the rem
nant of their stock, but with the
cold, and the fee demsnded by the
stern gatekeeper, people did not
care to pay such a price to 60 bar
gain hunting. 1t follows that the
gatekeeper will soon be no more,
and curious humanity may wan
der at will among the ruins.
New st. Louis is moving on, not
unduly proud of her success, but
with face set toward that true
greatness, which will make her a
leader in the commercial world.
The town is alive with holiday
shoppers, and the thrifty, we'll
dressed buyers show an era Of un-
usual prosperity. The large stores,
and small ones, too, have gorgeous
displays, with all kinds Of attrac-
tions for the children and grown
ups too. Santa Claus makes his

To My Little Sweethearts.

AZ my LlttlO oWOCtuOdItSs
Now, Christmas comes but once year,
For which Pm very glad;
It's presents there and presents here,
For children good-and none are bad
When comes the merry Christmas time
I'm sad for dear old Santa Claus
I don't mind telling this to you-
He cannot rest or sleep, because
He has so many things to do
When comes the busy Christmas time!
Just think how all the children are
Expecting him with pretty things,
And strange it is, 1 do declare, ...
That what they want he often brings
When comes the good old Christmas time |!
Ills reindeer sled is loaded down
With presents nice for girl and boy,
Out on the farm and in the town,
And all alike his gifts enjoy, t%a
When comes the snowy Christmas time.
l hope he'll bring you, dear, doll,
A music box, a tea set fine,
A pony, building blocks, and all
That I would give if they were mine,
When comes this nearby Christmas time.
I hear, and l am sure it's true,
Old Santa likes the Holidays,
Because he loves good girls like you.
"God guard them every one," he says,
When comes the blessed Christmas time.
So just you wait and you will find,
When you wake up next morn and look,
That he's been there and left behind
His presents while your nap you took
The night before the Christmas time!

tanned in honor of her guest, Miss Susie
Cleaton, of Portsmouth, Va. An interest
ing game was played which caused much
merriment. All the young ladies were re-
quested to repair to room to themselves,
while the young men remained in another
room, to write the description of the
young lady with whom he had recently
conversed. The descriptions were very
amusing and interesting.
The prize, which was a gold stick-pin
set with pearls, for the best description
was won by Mr.. Frank Prettyman. Sup
per was served in two courses on tables,
on which were lighted candles and taste

THE Gay Mr.. Goldstein," with its very

Stubs, who has won an enviable reputa-
ton as light comedian, will be present
ed at the Metropolitan Opera House for
a special matinee and night, Saturday.
January 10TH, and will no doubt attract
one of the largest audiences of the season
as it certainly deserves to do. 1.-The Gay
Mr.. Goldstein'' is a novelty in farce, mas
much as it depicts the refined Hebrew,
with refined surroundings and not the US
ual illiterate type that has been so much
used in similar characterizations The
theme used by the author is based on the
association of the Hebrew with the Chris
tian, both of the higher social circles, and
presents a series of laughable complicated
situations and incidents which arise from
the fact that a Hebrew of sporting pro-
elivities, being poor, marries for money
and Is afterwards allowed only one dollar
week for spending money by his rich
wife. His contrivances and schemes to
get more, create the humor of the play
and weep the audience keyed up to a con-
tinued pitch of merriment.

Speaking of the road the Wilson Times

"The authorities of the Raleigh and

burg is incorrect, that as the people OF
Wilson have been so kind to the company.

as our city is centrally located. wilson
