For four years Elizabeth Phillips
continued her work The Santa Claus
association grew with each succeed
ing year. II came to have many as
sistants with fleet of automobiles
and an army of givers in the cause of
Christmas giving. The movement
spread to other cities and thousands
came to know her nume and love It..
But the results of her work, though
great In the estimation of others,
seemed small to her. And as fhe re-
suits became greater and the work
increased the goal seemed farther
away than ever to her. Her work
was hnlted by illness. and she was
| forced to watch tlhe Christmas OF 1909
draw nearer and nearer without being
| able to keep on. Despair took hold
| Of her and she ended her life.
But the spirit of Christmas that
animated her did not die with her.

Borrowed Editorials

t'One Of the curious features of the
| bending movement on the part of the
liquor crowd to break down the prohib-
Iition Law and prevent its enforcement,
is that many of the most stalwart and
determined defenders Of the amend
ment are public men and women who
did not originally favor national pro-
hibition and took no part in the fight
for prohibition when fighting was hard
and the goal distant-unless, indeed,
some of them were among the Oppon-
ehts of prohibition, says The Bap-
tist.
"The eminent jurist who fills the
office of Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court was not an ad-
vocate of national prohibition; but
one of the most crushing blows dealt
lat the nullificationists after the adop-
tion Of the Eighteenth Amendment
was an editorial written by Mr.. Taft
for the Philadelphia Ledger in which
he told the vets they had not a leg
left TO stand on and that the amend
ment could not be inyalidated. and
must be obeyed.
"The veteran Christian scholar and
editor, Lyman Abbott, was not among
ton in pre-war times; but Lyman ABB
bott's paper, The Outlook, had this TO
say editorially last month:
Any intelligent and fair minded
man who is accustomed to studying,
comparing, and tabulating the sources
and factors of historical progress must
come to the conclusion, no matter how
wet his sentiments may be, that the
prohibition amendment was not sud
