JUSTICE WITH DIGNITY.

The action of the president in tax
ing the matter of the abrogation of
the treaty with Russia out of the
hands Of the House was doubtless the
wise and prudent course. Russia
strongly objected to the fiery reso-
luton Of Mr.. Sulzer and since the re-
suit and not the means of obtaining
it is the best thing to be insisted up
on; the presidential initiative obviated
the causes for any greater unpleas-
antness than is involved in the merits
of the controversy. Nothing would
have been gained by insisting upon
verbiage which Mas unnecessarily
calling to Russia's national pride.
All that this country wants or has
any right to ask in such case is
justice for all its citizens, and this
should be secured, when possible,
without offensive display of jingoism.
Indeed the quality of the justice OBJ
tanned is enhanced by the dignity
with which the nations rights are
asserted, not by the size of its fleets
OF armies or by the oratorical fire
works discharged in the halls of Con-
gress.
Many demagogic reports and pre-
dictions have been published with re-
gard to the presidents attitude in the
matter. AS usual he has acted with
dignified firmness on the first occa-
sion upon which the matter was
brought to his official attention. The
assurance from the Senate leaders
that the Upper House will sustain the
president seems to make certain the
final settlement, in the wisest man.
ner, of a controversy that has been
source of irritation for long time.
It may be ventured as hazard that
before the expiration of the year re-
quired under law, conditions which
demanded the abrogation of the
treaty will have disappeared and a
new convention, consistent with the
dignity Of both nations, will be nego-
tiated.-Kansas City Journal.

NO SANTA CLAUS.

This is the season of the year when
the papers run through the files and
print the answer Of Charles A Dana,
editor of the New York Sun to little
Virginia, VINO in her perplexity
wrote to ask about Santa Claus. Lit
tie Virginia asked the question years
ago and Mr.. Dana answered it years
ago, but the answer still holds good
and it Is worth reprinting each
Christmas tide.
Little Virginia wrote:
Dear editor: am eight years old.
"Some of my little friends say there
is no Santa Claus.
Papa says II you see it in the Sun
it's so.'
please tell me the truth, is there
Santa CLAUSE"
The Sun said:
Virginia your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticism of skeptical age.
They do not believe except what they
see. They think that nothing can
be which is not comprehensive by
their minds. All minds, Virginia,
whether they BIZ mems or children's,
are little. In this great universe Of
ours, man is mere insect, an ant in
his intellect as compared with the
boundless world about him, as meas
ured by the intelligence capable Of
grasping the whole truth and knowl-
edge.
Eyes Virginia, there is Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion ex-
ist, and you know that they abound
and give to your life its highest
beauty ard joy. Alas! How dreary
would be the world if there were no
Santa Claus? 1t would be as deary
as if there were no Virginia. There
would be no childlike faith then, no
poetry, no romance to make tolerable'
this existence. We should have no
enjoyment, except in sense and sight.
The eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be extin-
guished.
"Not believe in Santa Clausl You
might as we'll not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire
men to watch in all the chimneys on
Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus,
but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody secs 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 sec fairies dancing on the lawn ?
OF course not, but that's no proof
that they are not there. Nobody
can conceive or imagine all the won.
ders there are unseen and seeable in
the world.
"You may tear apart the baby's
rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but there is veil COW
ering the unseen world, which not
the strongest man, nor even the unit
ed strength of all the strongest men
that ever lived, could tear apart.
Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, ro-
nance 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.
"No Santa Claus? Thank Godl
He lives and He lives forever. A
thousand years from now, Virginia,
nay, ten times ten thousand years
from now, He will continue to make
glad the heart of childhood"
