SUFFRAGE HAS PASSED
THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1s.-In
striking contrast with the statement
prepared by Ex-senator Elihu Root
opposing woman suffrage, Governor
and Senator Elect Hiram w. Johnson,
wired Mrs. Walter McNab Miller, first
vice president of the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association, that
equal suffrage had passed the expert
mental state in California, leaving no
room for doubt as to its value.
Johnson's plurality of more than
10000 in the recent election, while the
head of the ticket was defeated, lends
more significance to his view with re-
gard to the enfranchisement of women.
California has passed the expert
mental stage of equal suffrage" he
wired. Experience and results leave
no room for argument here. Women
have proved sound and valuable in

CHRISTMAS LEGEND.

There is a little legend
Which Orient nations tell
That when the earth is joyous
With son of Christmas bell.
Unseen the Christie child wanders
Among the suffering dumb
And brings them joyful tidings
OF kinder years to come.
For was He not once sheltered
With cattle of the stall?
And does He not remember
Earth's helpless creatures all?
And did not the star beckon
Above them on that night.
Instead of DER palace
Aflame with gorgeous light?

FRENCH DOLLS PARTY ON
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.


Are you going to the French Dolls
party on Thursday afternoon at San
Carlos hotel? OF course If you are
small girl. or a boy who loves fun
and dancing, you are. For there is to
be dancing, with a splendid orchestra
Not fancy dancing. but just dancing
for everyone. so that all the little chill
dren, and the big ones, TOO, may en-
Joy the afternoon. And of course you
know that the fairies Will be there
and Mother Goose, and all the friendly
toys that you know.
Last year you all met the French
Doll and the funny clown and the
Teddy Bear, and Mother Goose and
ever and ever so many delightful peo-
pie And this year once more they will
come to play with you sin the home Of
Santa Claus"
Have you ever seen the home of
Santa Claus? It is the most wonder
full place in the world. For that is
where all the toys come from. Not
that Santa Claus is going to show
you all the toys on Thursday after
noon No, indeed! He is keeping
those to surprise you with on Christ
mas morning. Except your old ia
vorites you meet there every year.
For you see this party is just little
bit different from any other party in
the world
While it is given in the home of
Santa Claus, and he has so many
thousands of toys. he is just little
bit worried. For this Christmas there
are so very many little children and
on account of the war all of the toys
had to be manufactured right in the
great big work shop Of Santa Claus
in America. And he is afraid there
may not be enough to GO round.
That is he would be If it were not
for the St. Nicholas Girl But every
time old SAINT Claus gets into a
Christmas quandary-and that is a
! terrible trouble to get into-the St
Nicholas Girl and Miss Curtis just
snap their finger and say:
why. there isn't any cause to
worry. We know how to make dreams
come true. Don't you remember the
Christmas fairies?"
OF course old Santa Claus does re-
member. only he is so terribly busy.
But perfectly splendid idea has come
to him and the other day he said to
| the Christmas fairies:
See here. just suppose I don't
have enough toys this year to go
round? There are plenty and plenty
Of toys that put in the stockings last
year that the children don't need
Why don't they exchange toys?'
And the Christmas fairies said that
was the very thing. So waen the chill
dren go to the French Dolls party
they are invited to bring with them
some of their discarded toys. Or, II
| they have a bright shining quarter, oil
silver dime, or even penny, they
may bring that too. for Santa Claus
knows where he can get some very
wonderful bargains.
But the main thing is for all the
children to come. Miss Curtis wants
you every one to come and help hel
make Christmas happy for Other
| people, for all the toys that you br1ns
and all the money that comes from
this party is to go towards the big st

AIN HIS NAME"

Mrs. Frank Marston, president of
the Woman's Home, said yesterday
afternoon, in~ speaking of the many
acts of charity which are taking place:
I hope the public will not forget the
Woman's Home. We all remember the
children and it seems. with the splen-
did spirit of helpfulness that no one
will be overlooked. But would it not
be well to remind the public that at
the Woman's Home there are nine old
ladies and three little children to be
cared for and made happy on Christ
mas Day"
Pensacola never forgets the Wom-
ans Home, and is not likely to do so
at this season. But this is Just as
a reminder of those who are working
In His Name" to make Christmas a
happier and a better season.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
There Are Dogs and Dogs.

Mr.. Editor: Our DanieIson friend
tells some truth in his dog VS.. sheep
story and from his point of view prob
ably tells the whole story, but There
are dogs and dogs"
To begin with there are dogs in this
neighborhood more valuable than a
whole flock Of sheep.
], myself, am no friend to dogs,
never owned one never shall, and if !
had my way no one would own one
unless he was man enough to own a
good one and own it right.
The dog that annoys his neighbor
in any way is a nuisance but not half
the nuisance its owner is. I know
a dog owner who refused $50 for his
female setter, two ntters or pups have
nectfcut could get one of them for a
dozen Of his best sheep.
Some story, but a fact.
I also find that the man who owns
good valuable dogs never allows them
to trouble any one and further than
that they are seldom, if ever, heard
of killing sheep. The other kind of
dogs are like their owners first
class nuisance-and the law provides
for an examination Of the dogs, but not
the owner.
Let's look at the sheep side. A man
buys lot Of waste land that wouldn't
support black SNAKE, buys himself
flock of sheep, turns them on the
land to-live or die as they may, know
ing full well that dogs kill sheep" and
towns pay the bills.
Not once, twice, but score of times
he does the same thing. There are
laws concerning cruelty to animals
that should be applied to some OF
these So-called sheep raisers. I have
seen sheep within two years so poor
and starved that they couldn't gel
away from a plow jaeger. let alone a
dog.
I do not for moment say dogs dc
not injure the sheep industry, but the
sheep industry in this section ceased
| to be one long ago, or when greedy
farmers conceived the idea that a lot
of land too poor to support GROUND
moles could keep a large flock Of sheer
| in good condition.
By all means get after the bad dogs
but there are dogs and dogs and SONS
| of the dogs should be set on some o.
| the sheep owners.
