The question as to why the FTedeT-

however, by those in authority that 1t
is the custom not to call out the local

The Santa Claus Question.

There seems to be only one real,
sensible answer to the question whetb-
er we should encourage children to be-
lieve that there is such n parsonage as
Santa Claus, or seek to discourage
their minds of the idea The time will
come soon enough when the pleasing
delusion will pass away, and with it
many other things that have enrap-
tured the mind of the child and filled it
with glowing anticipation and delight.
But why hasten this process OF disen-
chantment, that gives so much happi-
ness now? Why rob childhood of the
joys we all had when we we're children,
and hung our stockings by the fire.

dreams and woke so early in such a

grown the pleasing fiction leave IL be.

Bears? Life will be serious enough

Popular Candidate.

Among those who will go before
the Republican voters at the primary
election next spring for political rec
ognition none are more deserving than
James S. LOckart, Of this place, who
has announced that he will be can
didate for county treasurer. Mr.
Lockhart has always been recognized
as staunch Republican and has done
much for the success of the ticket in
his district. He held the office OF
burgess In the old borough OF Clay
vile for two terms, conducting the
office In manner rejecting much
credit to himself by his fearless and
impartial dealings with his fellow men.
He is now rounding out his second
term of tax collector in the borough
and has performed his duties in a
manner entirely satisfactory to all con-
cerned. Nine years ago he entered
the contest for the Republican nomin-
alton for sheriff but in the interest
of harmony In the party withdrew
before making an active canvas, Since
then he has had an eye on the county
treasurership but has waited until con-
ditions assumed favorable aspect be-
fore announcing. He feels that the
time has now arrived when his desires
should be known to the voters and with
that end in view is planning vigorous
campaign. Mr.. Lockhart possesses
the faculty of making and keeping
friends, and has acquired something
of reputation as 'scrapper" in
politics by winning out in contests,
however there has never been the least
suspicion OF anything but fair and
honorable dealings, and among his best
friends and most earnest supporters are
his vanquished opponents.-Punxsu-
