fq Brothers Must Arrange for
 Santy tO Visit 70 Riddles Here

The weather so far this season has been mild-it is really a long-drawn- Out fall season, instead of winter season. There have been few cold days or nights. But some of the old established long-distance weather forecasters say it will be "white Christmas" that the festival will be celebrated in the midst Of snow.
 All the more reason for the Big BrcEhers to get busy. The little fellows need the Big Brothers always and the worse the conditions, the greater the need.
 Children Expect Little.
 It is such little thing the chill dran expect of the big brothers-a few little toys and trinkets, doll, a train of cars, wagon, doll bed, some candy and nuts and fruit-stuff 8 few nickles will buy-the same

nlckels that are so easily spent for a lew cigars or a game of billiards or something else che can just as we'll do without. It is sucl a little thing yet the insignificance of the thing Is what makes the appeal of the chil- dren so much the more pathe;tic and touching, and which brings so gener- GUS a response.
 The Elks-those great, big, soft hearted fellows, many of whom ar, not only Big Brothers, but fathers and, in some instances. even grsn<s- fathers-the Elks are perfecting their plans for the annual distribution of toys to the little fellows, and as is usual, the distribution is going to be most happy affair, for the tots and for the Elks as we'll.
 But--the Awakening on Christmas morning, the wide-open, staring eyes of the children, directed upon the stockings so carefully hung, the night before, at the fire place. the thrill of extreme pleasure and qualification that is experienced when that stock ing is seen to be bulging with fruit, and candy, and nuts, with flaxen- haired dolly peeping over the top, or a drum hanging alongside, or a wag- On or train or tin automobile, stand ing nearby, on the floor-that is the very essence of Christmas, to the children. Take that away-and the dreams of Santa Claus are gone, th~ vision is dissipa.ed as a mist before the morning sun, an ideal is found to have its feet of clay, and childhood
 is no more the thing of which poets sing.
 Making Dreams Come True.
 To make those dreams come trc-, to continue the vision, to preserve the ideal in all its beauty, to maintain all the blessings and the songs and the happy laughter Of childhocd-that
 is the duty of the Big Brothers. They have done we'll in the past. They will do better now, and in the years to come, because man is but a grown up boy anyhow-just as every Big Sister is always and ever the little sister back home" whom man ever loves and honors and respects and rreveres. If only in honor of the memory of that "little sister back home," who, perchance, is now Big Sister, each Big Brother is doing his part.
 Lois Has Confidence in Santy.
 Lois Henigan, who lives in Georgia street-Lois knows Santa Claus is coming to remember the good little children. Lois writes re'tter, to Santa Claus, as follows:
 "Dear Santa Claus:
 q am a little girl years old, and have no brothers or sisters, and or course I could just play with lot of toys, as I have no one to play with me. But all ask you to bring me IS dell, doll buggy. trysickle ana candy, nuts and fruit, and if you will be so kind I will be more than glad and will be good and mind mamma and papa.'

Chicago, H., June 22.-"The Effect
OF Advertising Censorship on the

There can be no dispute as to the
immortality of printing fraudulent

poor way to build up business, There
is no stability about that kind Of adj

of regard for their own regulations,
and their heedlessness in printing un-

honest selfrespecting newspaper has
the most enduring success.
"The sincerity of the newspaper
which proclaims its devotion to the
public welfare in its editorial columns
and sells its advertising columns to
quacks and frauds is open to question.
There is no doubt whatever that the

one which declines fraudulent adver-

Ann Arpor. Mich, June 22.-Sim-
plification of American legal proceed
ure and the elimination of forms and
observances that are worn out, was
urged by Rousseau A. Burch, justice
of the Kansas supreme court in de-
livering the commencement address
at the School of Law of the University
of Michigan here today.
Justice Burch pointed out that there
is a constant need of modification,
readjustment, improvement and pro
gress in the administration of Justice
"a law does not become living
force IN society until it is applied in
the solution of some controversy, he
said. "No more difficult task con-
fronts court than that of determin-
ing what the legislature intended
should be done. But the courts. charg-
cd with the administration of the law,
must apply the statute, however gen
eral, lame, ambiguous or obscure.
"a few years ago two high constitu-
tional officers of the state of Kansas,
the governor and the attorney general,
disagreed in their interpretations of
the constitution and the governor in
stituted an action OF mandamus in the
supreme court against the attorney
general to compel him to do a GER
tai nact. The court could not perform
its duty and either grant or refuse the
writ without interpreting the constitu-
tion.
