SANTA CLAUS

| ~ ANITA CLAUS needs 500 pairs o
~ Shoes for The Herald's Christma'
~ festivity for boys and girls. o
course he doesn't need them for his
own use He is neither a centipedt
nor millionaire. He knows at leas
$50 boys and girls, each the fortunate
possessor of one pair of feet, but each
by freak of fortune compelled to veal
bad shoes or go barefoot. As 81 matter
of fact many of them go barefoot
There are many barefoot children ir
Los Angeles-barefoot not from choice
or because they wish to get the full
benefit of the climate, but barefoot
because they have to be; because
their parents cannot afford to buy them
shoes for everyday wear. Some of them
have a pair which they are allowed to
don on Sundays.
We have known of some families In
which there was a special arrangement
among the little folks by which brothers
and sisters wore shoes turn about"
on church or state occasions. Now we
think every little boy and girl in Los
Angeles should have at least one pair
of Shoes Don't you agree with us?
We cannot believe you would say;
mo. According to the social law there
are some boys and girls who have no
right to wear shoes. or anything else"
No good American would say that, and
yet many good Americans are COM
pelled to assent or to seemingly assent
to similar propositions, simply because
they are not in position to help the
helpless and dependent masses who
form a large proportion of the popula-
ton.
We have heard some good friends
say: "Well, there are no barefoot boys
and girls In Los Angeles-that is to say,
there are none who are compelled by
necessity to get along without Shoes"
Unfortunately we have evidence
which compels us to be unable to
agree with this. We have not the
slightest doubt that a little army OF
barefoot boys and girls could be mar
shaled without much trouble, at short
notice; and we have heard of boys and
girls who were so big they were
ashamed to go outdoors without shoes,
and had no money with which to buy
them.
And this was in Los Angeles?" oh,
yes. This was in Los Angeles. The
Salvation Army and other phil&nthropic
organizations can give you exact in
formation on this subject.
Los Angeles is a beautiful city, and
the most prosperous in the United
States, but there is ample justification
for the resolution of Santa Claus to
provide a Christmas dinner and enter
tainment for boys and girls, and we
have no apologies to offer for keeping
up this peculiar style of Christmas
carol, day after day
Now that the Associated Charities or
ganization has Joined forces with Tho
Herald in arranging the Christmas din
ner and entertainment, the festivity is
assuming proportions greater than at
first contemplated. We thought 1t
would grow, but hardly thought 1t
would grow so big.
The Herald is confronted with
the problem of feeding and entertain
ing not fewer than 5000 hungry boys
and girlsl We thank heartily all friends
who have forwarded money or supplies.
1t is a good work. Keep 1t up. And
many more volunteers are needed to
help do the honors Of the feast. If you
write to the Santa Claus editor and tell
him what you would like to do we
n a
signment that will please you.

According to the enthusiastic Land
o'-Burns man who is secretary of ag-
riculture in the United States, in four
months the farmers of this country
raised corn representing a money value
that would pay the interest-bearing
debt of the United States, pay for the
Panama canal and fifty battleships be-
Sides" 1t is too bad Mr.. Wilson should
speak of battleships in connection with
corn. That is not what his fellow
countryman, Robert Burns, would
have said. Burns would have thought
of happy homes and "wives and weans"
when he thought of the mountain of
corn-wealth. But that is why Burns,
If he had come to the United States,
would never have held a position like
that of secretary of agriculture.
