be a good thing for most OF US i,
instead of lavishing useless and
worthless gifts upon our children,
we would make them presents OF
some of these stamps, thereby en-
couragine them in thrift and at the
same time making contribution
of ready money to the government
to be used in the prosecution OF a
struggle for liberty and freedom.
Of course we understand that the
little folks are not to be deprived
entirely of the gifts usual at this
season. 1t has not come to that in
this country. Santa Claus is as
much alive as he ever was, and IS
still in the very legitimate and very
laudable business Of visiting and
pleasing the little people. But we
do submit that this is no time to
waste and waste, as perhaps we
have done before, even by those
who may be best able to stand the
expenditures. There are now too
many channels in which money is
needed and can be usefully expend-
ed to permit Of throwing money
away. Anyhow, when you buy
War Savings Stamps you are not
making a gift. You are making an
investment, the safest investment
in the world and the most patriotic.
Buy War Savings Stamps with at
least a portion Of the idle money
you can spare, Help yourself and

A THANKLsss JOB, AT THAT.

Poor Mayor Mitchell of New York!
 In his burning desire to succeed him self he finds his candidacy in pretty predicament. A Democrat himself
 Tammany Hall has named candidate
 of it's own and is openly fighting the mayor. Populated by his own party
 the mayor sought the Republican tho
 imitation, and, notwithsttafr Judge
 fact that Colonel Raf other nromi-
 Charles E. HuGh0penly urged his
 nent Repuh4' lost this nomination to
 candidao unknown Republican. Now
 a}or Mitchell is determined to make an independent campaign for re-elec- ton, and while he has the support of the best element and the biggest men In the metropolis, the chances are that he will be decisively defeated.
 The chief trouble with Mitchell seems to be that he is a poor poli- ticlan, As mayor, New York has not had his equal in years. He has been clean and competent in office and has shown firm grasp of the af- tairs ot the city. Moreover he has risen above partisanship, and this appears to be the cause of his undo ing Mitchell, although 1eminently fair with the plain people, has for gotten to cultivate their friendship. On the other hand, he has flirted con with the blue bloods and the class until the common people think that he is a genuine highbrow Hence they are all against him, and that just about spells his defeat, for the poor can outvote the rich every day in the year.
 Mayor Mitchell seems to have made the same mistake that ex-Governor Ferguson of Texas made, only in the opposite direction. Ferguson made a hobby of identifying himself with the hoi polloi in such a manner as to in vite the solid opposition of the intel lectual and aristocratic classes. When fully aroused, they finished Ferguson in hurry. Mitchell, on the other hand, has consorted so openly with the elite that the ordinary people have lost faith in him. And he can't win with out their support. It will be misfor- tune for Mitchell and the metropolis that he is unable to weather the storm.
