FATHER CHRISTMAS.
(By Norman Gale.)

(By Norman Gale.)
Perchance you cannot see his face
That beams with such a jolly grace;
Perchance you miss the bursting pack
of joy and frolic on his back.
But none the less, amid the throng,
Old Father Noel walks along;
To hearts and houses drawing near
With love, the best of Christmas
cheer.
His smile, unseen but always felt,
Makes frozen misery to melt,
For foes he uses such acharm
AS sends them homeward arm in arm.
He tells the wayward son that rest
Is surest on a mothers breast,
And brings to all who sojourn here
sweet conclusion for the year.

MET DEATH BY DROWNING
Autopsy Yesterday Shows Mabel
Harris Was Stunned Going
Over Dam

Ponpton Lake, N. j., July 81
An autopsy held at Riverdale this
afternoon on the body of Mabel
Harris, which was recovered early
yesterday at the foot of the dam IN
the Ramapo River, showed that the
girl met death by drowning. There
was but little water in the lungs,
but DR.. Colfax, WHO performed the
autopsy, said this probably was due
to the fact that the girl was stunned
in going over the thirty-foot dam
and was suffocated without taking
much water into the lungs.
Lester Decker, the girls fance
and her companion on the fatal
canoe trip Sunday evening, IS still
held as a material witness in the
case.

When any competitor OF the News
Budget is a candidate for office, no one
need to expect that because OF that
fact this paper will be arrayed against
him. Such a position would be con-
trary to the ethics of journalism, 1t
would be petty and it would not look
well to the public. You seldom hear
of newspaper ethics but, though they
sometimes are submerged, they are be-
coming more and more recognized and
lived up to by the fraternity OF the art
preseryatiye. Unlike some profess
sions that prate of ethics until it be-
comes tireSOme and the members OF
which in nine towns out OF ten are
champion members of the anvil club
and early and late are hard at work
knocking their local competitors prl-
vately, the newspaper voices any differ
ence or animus it may have for any
reason against competitor openly IN
black and white and then the next
morning probably bOrrOws a ream OF
paper from the hOrSe-thief or lgnOr-
anus, as the case may be, that edits
the rival sheet.

give more people chance to draw pub
lie money. The value of experience in
performing official duties was over
looked.
Modern tendencies are toward long

is utilized for the benefit of the public
by continuing the incumbent in office,

Did Not Try to Influence Her.

In an account printed on Wednesday
of the filing of petition by Althea,

probate OF the will OF Mrs. Frank
Leslie, an error was made by THE SUN
when It was asserted that the plaintiff
alleges Mrs. Leslie was under the in
fuence of her attorneys and executors
and trustees, William Nelson Cromwell
and Louis II. Cramer. II was also
enormously stated that the plaintiff
charged that 'the attorneys represented
to Mrs. Leslie shortly before her death
that the estate amounted TO only $780,
900, whereas 1t was worth sl,700. 000."
The papers fled allege that Mrs. Leslie
believed her estate to be only 500, 900.
but the petition makes no charge that
Mr.. Cromwell or Mr.. Cramer misrepre-
sented the value of the estate to her.
Mr. Cromwell is now in Paris. but
II was said on Thursday in his behalf
that neither he nor Mr.. Cramer knew
anything of the provisions OF any OF
Mrs. Leslie's wills prior TO her death
and neither OF them had any interest
in woman suffrage or any acquaintance

Why Shouldn't the Entente Keep
Faith with Italy?

With the international agreements
by pact or treaty between the several
Governments allied against Germany
and Austria Hungary before our en-
try into the war this Republic has no
immediate concern except that of
friendly interest.
We confess we fail to see what
legal or moral bearing the fact that
Russia has defaulted and dropped out
has upon the validity Of the obliga-
ton and understanding as between
Britain, France and Italy.
Nor can we see what bearing the
subsequent erection Of Czecho- Slo-
vakia has upon that same question
of faith pledged to Italy. When the
Pact Of London was concluded Czecho-
Slovakia was unheard Of; 1t did not
then exist.
How we'll it was said by WOODROW
WILSON to the Pope on August 81,
1917, that the obligations of treaty
we're sacred! How often has the
same preceptor of international mo-
rality reminded Germany that we
could make no peace with a Govern
ment whose pledged word Of honor
was worthless!
