~ AIRED f9axna
On Christmas Eye, aspoor mother
and father we're trying s rn1nk Of q
way to make their children happy.
They had no money, no food or moth
ng to sell. They were il dismay and
knew of no plan.
AFTER they had been watching
their little boy and girls stocking,
all ragged with holes, the man
thought of a plan. This plan was to
steal but his wife told him that it
was wrong.
Later they decided to go to bed
nd after they had turned the lamps
down and the room was dark. the
door suddenly opened, a tall, slender
man, dressed in black entered. This
maj seemed to have a large basket
full of toys and goodies.
"He found the stockings and filled
them, but the candy dropped out. He
shen pulled out two brown stockings
and refilled them.
"In the morning when the children
awoke, they founl everything they
had wished for. The little girl found
a doll, doll-b. rgy and goodies, the
little boy al 0 found marbles, kites
and a sled.
"When the mother and father
awoke. much to their SUNRISE tovs
we're scattered over the floor and the
children we're playing. They knew
some one had done thi- and they
thanked God.

Says E. J. White
FINDS WEST AGAINST PLAN

Government ownership of the rail
roads will not materialize unless there
shall be drastic revision of the federal
constitution, in the opinion Of Edward
]. White. general solicitor for the
United States railroad administration
in the southwestern region, who was
in this city today. Mr.. White was
formerly vice president of the Missouri
Pacific.
"It is puerile to talk of permanent
government ownership under our pres
ent constitution, or even of protracted
government operation in time of peace
unless fundamental decisions of the
United States Supreme Court, interpret
ing our constitution, which hold that
private property can only be taken for
strictly government purposes after Just

should be in close touch with the prop
critics.
They want to see the railroads kept
out Of politics, and while they are glad
to see labor get n fair wage, commen-
surate with the service rendered. they
appreciate, as never before. that the
public pays all wage increases in rail
road service, and they deplore the so
cialistic urge that the employees have any
partnership interest in the railroad
properties of the United States. for
which they have made no investment
