A PLEA FOR SANTA CLAUS.


of argument for and against
Santa Claus" Some very
earnest, very determined and very
stupid people, (men and women, who
must have been "raised'' in Scrooge
atmospheres) rise and declare
against the "pernicious" custom of
allowing the Santa Claus myth to
exist.
Judge Ben Lindsay, of Denver,
Colorado, has published book which
should be given to every man and
woman who objects to any child's be-
lief in Santa Claus; and to all those
who take from any child the belief
in fairies and Santa Claus, a perusal
of Judge Lindsay's book, and a study
of the work he is doing, would .be
beneficial and instructive.
An able editorial in the New York
Sun, several years ago, in answer to
child's inquiry as to whether there
WAS a Santa Claus, was classic an
sWer and an able argument as to the
reason for his recognition.
The stock phrases of those who OBJ
ject to children's faith in the Christ
mas Saint, may make good argument
and sound sense for those who be-
about the hum-drum every day world
of work: when one sees the sessions
of Children's Courts filled with pitt
full and pitiable little old men and
women, victims Of inherited vices
victims Of neglect, ignorance, greed
and the thousand and one crimes
against children-When one sees all
this, doesn't it take a stout heart and
tn
Claus sermon?
1t is a recognized fact that chill
dren of German and Scandinavian
parentage figure less in Children's
Court proceedings than those of any
other parentage. German children are
blessed with the folklore of CEN
turtles, it's sorry father and mother
or German parentage who does not
hand down each year the favorite
story of the little Christ Child Who
came into so cold and unfriendly a
world and inaugurated the blessed
season Of gift giving.
To carry the argument further:
Who of us, with broken hopes, I'M
filled dreams, tragic lives, disap-
pointed ambitions would give up
one jOt or little of the sentiment and
memory of the happy times that have
been?
How many of us have loved and
believed in some one who has proved
unworthy? Very few of us have es-
capped the tragedy of THAT.
How many of us have decked some
one with wreaths of love for virtues
which we alone believed they
possessed? And the tragedy of THAT
awakening!
How many of US, with broken
homes and aching hearts, can forget
the days when life looked bright for
the Hope of all that was to come?
And yet all of this is sentiment
which we know was weak, often
founded on flimsy, and with after
heart-aches of hours for every min
ute Of fulfillment
And what are we-with all this
back Of us-tO rob ANY child, no
matter how humble, of a days ioy
or a weeks anticipation of Santa
Claus?
In the name of that little Christ
Child let us foster by every means in
our power the spirit of Santa Claus;
let every man and every woman con-
stitute themselves committees of one
to see to it that there are no empty
stockings nor aching hearts where a
child dwells.
1t isn't the gift always-it is the
