To Our Friends and Readers
We Extend the Seasons Most Hearty Greetings
For a Merry, Merry Christmas
WHO LOSES FAITH LOSES ALL

In an age that seems more swiftfooted with every recurr-
ing season, few things escape the hand of change. Old habits
yield reluctant place to new inventions; old frames of mind are
submerged In new ideas born of modern experience. Human
ingenuity explores the elements of nature and shows the race
10 reduce mysteries to written symbols; restlesslv man
huris himself into the far spaces and jots down the road for
another generation to outleap him.
But Christmas changes never.
Somewhere in all the adventurous complexity of human
nature there is a beginning; traced back through experience
it is found to be in the cradle, of life no less than of belief: in
a superb simplicity. 1t is the hour of the dawning child life.
when faith is large and complete; because helplessness needs
lean On faith, where all is inscrutable. Helplessness begets graf
1tude: generosity, kindness, the primitive virtues which are
all OF a piece and not a veneer of sophistication, TONED with
a seasonal surface of goodwill.
For the child the shepherds ever watch their f1ocks by
nights; Tor the child the star never fails to lead the three
wise men from the East; for the child the heavens open to the
chorr OF angels, and their golden-voiced herald of the Prince of
Peace; for the child everything is a miracle and nothing in
credible. The world is an illusion of sweet dreams; the fairies
dance dance under the trees; the Indians people the corn-shocks: the
birds have voices for other things than song. Illusion is the
embroidery of faith; the liberty of simple-mindedness, in which
all men, consciously or unconsciously, are partners.
He who ceases to dream, loses the half of life; but he who
loses the capacity for faith loses all of it, and is already dead.
Christmas, defyng the logic of the times, ignoring the skepti-
clsm OF the chemical analysis, rests purely on the faith that in
every human being there is a divinity for whose coming the
shepherds watch, the star shines. the wise men pursue their
Journey and the angels sing through opening heavens-at Christ
mas.

ARE YOU A

Are you successful? Are you a "go-getter?"
lhese two questions do not mean one and the same thing.
The writers of books on "How to Succeed" think they do; but
they don't.
It is possible for a "go-getter" to be successful. 1t is also
possible to be successful without being a "go-getter."
The "go-getter" is the individual who starts out to make
as much money as he can, or to climb as high as he can.
The Roman Emperor Maximin was a "go-getter." In his youth
he was a Thracian shepherd; but being ambitious and about
eight feet tall he joined the army and secured rapid promotion.
His one idea was to get ahead. and he was not particular as
to the means. He secured the favor of the Emperor Alexander
Severus, and repaid him by having Alexander put to death in
Maximin's own tent. Maximum was then proclaimed emperor.
The "gogetter" had succeeded. But he was not a success.
After three bloody years he was assassinated by his own army.
While Maximum was having his ups and downs, there were a
few million Romans not mentioned by Gibbon who were marry
ing and raising families and educating their children and
keeping their promises and trying to be decent, self-respecting
citizens. In the opinion of MaXimin and the authors of books
on Success they were probably no-accounts, failures. But in
the long history of the human race they were the successes,
Maximin and his like the failures.

o MANY LAWS

Americans are fairly overwhelmed by law because of the
avalanche of legislation, according to Harold C. Michigan, vet
eran Kansas attorney in an address made recently before the
Kansas State Bar Association. Mr.. McGuigan pointed out how
Congress has been almost continually grinding out legislation
for years and pointed out that there are now no less than
$4,000 sections of the United States statutes. In addition to this
there are more than 1000 sections of the state statutes and
the number is constantly increasing. He said in part:
These various statutes are so complex that two courts will
seldom reach a like construction. The federal statutes reach
such great numbers that no lawyer in America has a compre-
hensive knowledge of them. Some lawyers may be expert
in finding them in the sense that some birddog might be ex-
pert in finding quails, but these lawyers no more know the
statutes than the birddog knows the number of quail in the
covey he is pointing
Mr.. McGuigan deplored the legal maxim which sets forth
that ignorance of law is no excuse. In view of these volumes
upon volumes of law, many of them beyond comprehension, he
said it would be an absurdity to invoke the maximu and it
does violence to reason.

advertisement Of the Forthcoming
presentation of the paly RAIN" in
which Miss Eagles recently appeared
in this CITY, as return engagement,
with New York cast and production"
such advertisement and such
words" Messrs. Ernst. Fox & Cane
assert, may convey the impression
that "the performances to be given
next week were to be given by Miss
Jeanne Eagels . and by the
company which produced the play in
New York and with the original New
York production"
THE facts are quite the opposite,
they continue. Miss Eagles is not
to play a return engagement in WASH
ington and the cast which VIII appear
is not the cast which appeared IN It's
New York production, nor is the pro-
duction the same as was USED IN New
York. such original cast and such
original production being, in point of
fact. now in Pittsburgh and booked for
Cleveland next week

rection Rain" is to be presented at the

lieve that we have conveyed the impress
sion that the company that played the
