Santa Claus Seen.

It was a droll and interesting story
which Capt. Macmillan "radioed" to
The Star from Etah, not far from
the north pole, telling Of Santa Claus,
who is also known to some old.style
children as Kris Kringle and called by
some Of them "Kis Kingie." 1t was a
piece of writing which deserves a
prominent place in literature and in
the records OF the human race. It was
an interview with well known and
long-established friend Of little chill
dren, and just as authoritative as
many stories which are given general
credence.
Capt. Macmillan, quite by accident,
met Santa Claus near the north pole,
talked with him, entertained him on
board the ice-locked exploring ship
Bowdoin, and got the names of his
reindeer, Starbright. Starlight, Snow
fake, Snow Crystal. North Star and
Aurora. The explorer later visited
Santa Claus at his home, met Mrs.
Santa Claus and inspected the toy
factory. and gave particular attention
to the doll.making unit of the great
plant. The personal appearance of

Voted for a Non-Member,

The roll calls that We're held in the
Senate during the closing week ON the
question Of the election of chairman
Of the committee on interstate com.
merce have been marked by an un.
usual feature. For number of bal.
lots seven senators cast their votes for
a man who was technically not a
member of the Senate. This was Mr..
La Toilette Of Wisconsin, whose term
expired on the 4th of March last. He
was elected for another term in 1922,
but when this Congress opened he
was not present to take the oath of
Office, and up to this time he has not
done so. Consequently his name has
not been sounded on any roll call. His
own vote has not been sought. Yet
seven senators during several days
voted for him. This situation may
have had a parallel in the past, but
certainly not for many years. Mr.. La
Toilette is absent from the Senate on
account of illness, and it is expected
that he will soon, perhaps during the

seen the venerable man during his
visits to this part Of the wortd. There
is satisfactory and sufficiently
minute description of his home.
The value Of this story from the
north pole neighborhood is that 1t will
confound those skeptical and irrev.
erent persons who have said that the
real name Of Santa Claus is Myth.
From time to time one meets O man,
and sometimes an older child, whose
faith in the reality of Santa Claus is
not so strong and well founded as
might be. This Is said to be an icono-
elastic age or something just as bad.

for little children.
But the whole thing is clear now A
north-pole hunter has run into him,
and the report shows that Santa Claus
is everything that we believed him to
be, kindly and Industrious old fellow
whose business in life is to make lit
tie children happy at Christmas The
facts are now before us. and the little
ones may rest content that Santa or
Old Kris will visit many Of them in

The Coolidge Campaign.

President Coolidge's campaign for
nomination for the presidency is being
developed by his friends and man
sequence. The start may be said TO
have commenced in point of fact when
the President delivered his address to
Congress in joint session lof the two
houses, for that was the declaration
Of his platform Therein he told the
voters what he stands for, and in at
least one conspicuous case what he
does not stand for.
The country was allowed to ponder
this. and then a few days later came
the announcement of Mr.. Stearns and
National Committeeman Butler of
Massachusetts that campaign for
President Coolidge's nomination would
Immediately be commenced. This was
the official notice of his candidacy.
given in a dignified way. 1t came at a
psychological time. by reason of the
presence in Washington Of the gov
erning body of the republican party
the national committee, together with
other republican leaders from many
states.
And Friday the news was given out
that campaign headquarters would be
established in Chicago December %
and active work in the campaign
would begin. The Coolidge managers
evidently do not intend to allow grass
to grow under their feet. The only an
nounced rival aspirant for the repub-
lican nomination thus far, Senator
Hiram w. johnson of California, has
already been in the field for several
weeks and his managers are at work
The contest being now fairly under
way, the campaign may be expected
to speed up in intensity, and the whole
country Will watch it with ever
growing interest.
