Em!!'as!cuIate Bill
IA or Public Good

: WASHINGTON, D. c., July H.
When President 4 aft signs the bill
for the establishment Of postal savings
banks it will be a law in full force.
! 1t will be some time, however, be-
fore the people will be able to take
their savings to the postoffices with
the confident assurance that under
Uncle Sans protection the money will
DE there when they choose to call for
1t.
The surprising discovery has been
made that the house bill, which was
passed by the senate, is minus any
provision fixing any time when it shall
take effect. The intention of con-
gress was to make the law effective
at some time far enough in the fu-
ture to give the board Of trustees op-
portunity to perfect the system for
the operation of the postal banks. The
bill Is now at the white house await
Ing the presidents signature.

The delegates from the head Of
the lakes were up. on their toes push
ing things most of the time, and car
ried off a full share of the honors
in all the discussions
In nominating speeches and COM
mittee appointments the Zenith City
delegates got their names in black
type and demonstrated that even if
the northern part of the state belongs
to the steel corporation, as charged,
it has no mortgage on the opinions
and expressions of the union men Of
this section. .~
Jim Walsh and Dick Jones both
declare that the Hinges of He'll" had
nothing on the sleeping rooms at the
Waldorf last week:
The latter delegate ably represent
ed the Labor World at the convention
and in this connection declares that
his report of the proceedings was: not
as complete as he intended it to be
from the reason that when he began
to write his report. to the paper in
his room at the hotel the heat melted
the lead in his pencil and he had to
go down to the clerk to get some ink.
Then, he declares, Jim Walsh
drank the ink by mistake in the dark.

In good standing has the slightest
chance to break into the force of ar

for the Ohio. Valley Exposition, which
will be held in Cincinnati from Aug
ust 20: to September "a. About a
dozen buildings will be erected on
the banks of the canal in the rear
Of Music Hall for the accommodation
of various kinds of exhibits and
amusement enterprises, and not a
tool will be welded on any of these

In order to avoid all questions as
to the standing of any contractor in
any kind of work connected with the
exposition, Claude Hagen, director Of
amusements. under whose supervis-
ion the buildings are being erected,
decided to employ all his men direct
ly instead of letting out the work
by contract. In this way he has
been able to secure the highest class
Of union men. with the result that
work has progressed rapidly and sat

slightest doubt that all the structures

Sherman antitrust law. These men

Some OF my little friends say there is

me the truth: Is there Santa CLAUSE
Virginia O'Hanlon.
IFS West Ninetyhfth ST"
Virginia, your ).tte ,iriends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the sccpticism Of sceptical age. They
do not believe except they see. They
think that nothing can be which is not
comprehensive by their little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether they be
mems or chldrcn's are little. In this
great universe of ours man is mere
pared with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence
capable .of grasping the whole OF
truth and knowledge.
Eyes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and
give to Our life its highest beauty and
JOY. Alas! how dreary would be the
word il there were no Santa Claus. 1t
would be as drcary IS if there were no
Virginias. There would be no child
like faith then, no poetry, no romance,
10 make toIerable this existence We
Should have no enjoyment, except in
sense and sight. The eternal light
with which childhood f.. the world
would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Caus! You
might as we'll not believe in fairies |!
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch in all the chimneys on Christ
mas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even
ii they did not see Santa Claus coming
down, what would that prove? No
body sees Santa Claus, but that is no
sign that there is no Santa Claus The
most real things in the world are
those that neither children nor men
can see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn? OF course not,
but that's no proof that they are not
there. Nobody can conceive or inn
aginc all the wonders there are I'M
seen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rat
tie and see what makes the noise in
side, but there is veil covering the
unseen world which not the strongest
man, nor even the united strength of
all the strongest men that ever lived
could tear apart. Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance, can push aside
that curtain and view and picture the
supernal beauty and glory beyond Is
it all real? All, Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
mo Santa Claus! Thank God! he
lives, and he lives forever. A thous-
and years from now, Virginia, nay, ten
times ten thousand years from now,
he will continue to make glad the heart
of childhood"
