IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
A Christmas Classic by Chas. A.
Dana, Editor New York Sun.

A Christmas Classic by ChaS. A.
Dana, Editor New York Sun.
We take pleasure in answering at
once and thus prominently the COM
munication below, expressing at the
same time our great qualification
that the faithful author is numbered
among the friends of The Sun:
Dear Editor: | am 8 years old.
Some of my little friends say there
is no Santa Claus. Papa says, If
you see it in The Sun it's so. Please
tell me the truth, is there a Santa
Claus? VIRGINIA O. HANL0N.
"Ore Hundred Fifteen West
Ninety-fifth street"
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticism of a skeptical age.
! They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be which
is not comprehensive by their minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether they be
mems or children's, are little. In this
great universe of ours man is mere
insect AN ant in his intellect, as COM
pared with the boundless world
about him, as measured by the intel
ligence capable of grasping the
whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there. is Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty
and joy. Alas! how dreary would be
the world if there were no Santa
Claus. 1t would be as dreary as if
there were no Virginias. There would
be no child-like faith, no poetry, no
romance, to make tolerable this ex-
istence. We should have no enjoy
ment except in sense and sight. The
eternal light with which childhood
fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as we'll not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire
men to watch in all the chimLeys on
Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus,
but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody 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 imagine all the Won
ders there are unseen and unseeable
in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's
rattle and see what makes the noise
inside, 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, 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 abid-
ing.
No 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 hearts of children. -Neo Hork

to defend the canal are provided for
by legislation. But we should have,
besides the fixed Notifications, a sufli-
cient navy that would be able to beat
off any naval attack before the forti.
flcations themselves are reached, The
Notifications of the canal would be
the second line OF defense; the navy
would be the first line, and we should
have such a naval force that any
fleet attempting to seize the canal
would be pretty badly handled before
it could get to the Notifications at

TAFT's WINNING CAMPAIGN.

The mana gers for President Taft are
conducting winning campaign, The
carrying of Illinois by Col. Roosevelt
was clearly on local issues. the chief
of these being anti. Lorimerism, 1t is
n significant feature Of Col. Roosevelt S
campaign that he has abandoned Ma.
tlonal issues, and is confining his fight
TO the local politics Of each State. In
his Columbus speech he made gen
crai assault upon the Judiciary, de-
manding not only the recall of Judges
but the recall Of judicial decisions.
Later, he has explained that in this he
did not mean TO include the Federal
judiciary, but only the State Judges
and the recall Of decisions of State
courts. 1t is not easy to understand,
therefore, what bearing he wishes to
affix to this proposition Of judicial re-
calls as related to a Presidential cam.
paIgn, and no more is it apparent why
he should consider the State suuabbles
in Illinois as having an important bear
ing upon National events or politics.
And yet, so it is. His only National
ism is in his personal assaults upon
President Taft.
On the other hand, President Taft is
conducting a distinctly National cam
paign. He is keeping out of all State
squa bibles, and is not undertaking TO
use State issues and intrastate con
tcntions to help him in his Presidential
campaign. This is clearly the right
basis for Presidential campaign to
be conducted upon, and it is assured
that, as the people come more and more
TO understand the essential difference
between the Taft campaign and the
Roosevelt campaign, they will more
and moro incline toward Taft; this,
not only on account Of the impropriety
Of resting National campaign upon
the petty State squabbles, but because
Of the inapplicability of State issues
to National affairs. Another distiuc-
ton between the two campaigns also
decidedly in favor Of President Taft,
is that, whereas Roosevelt is making
a vindictive personal campaign against
President Taft, the latter is entirely

~ in its human interest, and putting 1T
out is also good business.
THE cH1RrouI ERUPTION.

The dreadful news of the outbreak
| of an eruption from the volcano Chirl'
| aui. in the Republic Of Panama, adds
| to the horrors of the time The ac.
count as received, says that thousands
OF people have been killed, and whole
| Indian villages swept away by the
eruption. The captain of the vessel
which brought this news to Mobile
gives a graphic and. in a way, lurid
description Of the terrible catastrophe.
1t makes dreadful reading, and one
cannot help feeling the deepest sym
pathy with and sorrow for the unfor-
tunatc people who have had to face
this calamity
Naturally, the special interest of
the American people in this volcanic
outburst Will be its relation to the
Panama canal. We NAV say, then, to
begin with, that this volcano is about
as far from the canal as it would be
limits of the Panaman Republic. It
is about two hundred miles distant
from the canaI, along the main range
of the Cordilleras, the Chirioui peak
being on the crest of the mountain
range
The captain of the steamer which
brought this news to Mobile was
anchored near Boca del Toro, one of
the entrances to Chiriqui Lagoon,
which is on the north side of the
this lagoon, Boca del Toro, Boca del
Drago, and Boca del 1igre. Judging
from his account, the chief destruction
must have been on the north side Of
the range, Whatever may have oc-
Cured on the south side, he would not
be aware of
The Bay of Chiriqui ia large, with
the three entrances named. 1t is

about ninety miels, and indcnts the

From the time that the Panama
Canal was first suggested. there have
been misgivings in certain quarters as
10 the possibility Of volcanic disturb
ancos that would destroy the canal, If
built. SO far as this volcanic erup-
tion is concerned, there is nothing TO
fear. and so far as the evidences of
volcanic action appear In the region
Immediately contiguous TO the canal,

tically to be negligible.
