adduced. but the figures already given
show plainly enough for the present
that either Washington has now been

or that other cities which are SO
often cited by the critics of the present
fiscal system here to the disadvantage
of the capital, are grossly underas-

FESTIVAL FOR THE YOUNG
Opportunity of Christmas of Bringing
Happiness to Children Should Not
Be Passed BY.

Christmas, the celebration of the
birthday of the Divine Child, is Pc
culiarly the children's festival. And
while it cannot, too, but be time Of
special rejoicing among grown-ups, we
realize after all, that it has no ether
charm to compare with the pleasure
we take in some kiddy's delight over
the doll or drum or picture book that
our special Santa Claus has brought
him.
This opportunity Of making some
child's Chr stmas one of surprising
joy, of which he will carry gracious
and ennobling memory into after life,
years. it may be, after our direct in
f1uence for good or evil will have
ceased forever-this opportunity Of
giving pleasure is one OF the best
that life has to offer us. And per-
haps the greatest opportunity is his
who in place of home times, has the
wide, gray world of homeless, loveless,
unhappy childhood from which to
choose the most needy recipient of his
Christmas giving. The chances Of
giving happiness in this way are so
many, the means SO simple, and the
deed itself SO worthy, that no one OF
us should let the season pass unim-
proved.
