stories to their children about Santa Claus

of it. I think we can say that there

the truth. Santa Claus is the Spirit of
Giving and that same spirit puts it in
our hearts to give to our loved ones on
that day that our Heavenly Father gave
to the world His Son. Now, If He loved
us we'll enough to give us that Great
Present Savior, why should we not

children or anyone we love on that day?

JOCKEY CLUB RULES
WITH AN IRON HAND
Governing Body Criticised for Ar
bitrary Decisions Without Full
Investigation.

NEW YORK, July 25-Whlle It is
very necessary for the stewards Of the
Jockey Club to rule with an iron hand,
II is questionable whether its arbitrary
decisions are at all wise in these days.
There has In The past too often been
ruptUres over the announcements that
so and so has been ruled off or suspend
ed, without any trial whatever. and,
though the Jockey Club is following the
dictates Of English and French jockey
clubs. that liHd of justice does not fit
IN Well with the supposed freedom Of
this country. The Jockey Club would
make many friends If 1t would estab-
lish a sort Of judiciary court IN which
all cases of Importance could be tried
and thoroughly threshed out, permit
ting the accused parties TO be present
and state their case and phase in an
up-to-date manner.
Then il found guilty there could be
no possible excuse for them, whereas
now too often is heard the cry that the
Jockey Club disciplined so and so IN
justly without being given a chance for
defense.
