Editorial Comment
A Never Ending Charge
Duluth Herald

A recent news story from Washington reported that
The government pension bureau had just issued a voucher
covering the funeral expenses Of the last veteran OF the
Mexican war. who died about two weeks ago. The Mexi-
can war ended e~ighty-one years ago. and the depart
mcnt announced that Its books or veterans OF that war
we're now closed.
But even c%ighty-onc years has not been long enough
to complete paying for that comparatively small con-
flict. There are still nearly eight hundred widows of
Mexican war veterans on the pension rolls, and 1t will
naturally be some years yet before they arc gone. rs
many Of the veterans late in life married young women.
In fact. the pension bureau announced that on June
thirticth eleven widows Of the War Of 1872. fought q
hundred and seventeen years ago. were still receiving
their monthly allowances.
Coming down to the Civil war. tho department reports
that only about sixty thousand veterans were OH the
pension rolls in June, but that there were also a hundred
and eighteen thousand widows and dependent children.
Widows OF Civil war soldiers arc not eligible to pensions
II they married them after 1905.
No one grudges this help to these elderly or middle
aged women. for the service of their husbands in giving
their time and exposing their lives for a mere pittancc
richly deserves this care Of their loved ones In later life.
but the figures emphasize the never -cnding cost of all
wars, even on the financial side. The misery and heart
ache and ruin all Of them brought to millions Of helpless
men. women and children. who were merely pawns in the
hands OF a ruthless few can never be rated IN dollars.
And yet there arc profit-mad corporations who will
hire sinister plotters like the Shcarcrs to hamper the
country in every effort to make wars difficult and peace
permanent.

The Birthplace Of Santa Claus
minneapolis Journal


Mrs. Title Hart has lost her fight to save from the
wrcckers the New York house In which DR.. Clement G..
Moore. more than a century ago. wrote that immortal
poem which has thrilled so many millions of children.
The Night Before Christmas. The land has been bought
as o portion OF the site for a great apartment building.
Even Il Mrs. Hart had established the validity Of her
lease. she could have preserved the historic dwelling
only until next summer. when the instrument expires.
Still and all. the sentiment that inspired this deter
mined woman was admirable. however futile her effort.
For the house could fairly be called the birthplace Of
Santa Claus. as that jolly old gentleman Is now conceived
universally by the little folk Of the English speaking
world.
For IL DR.. Moore was not the first to discover that
Santa Claus has white uhiskers. q red costume, and
T. nsports his gifts In q sleigh drawn by eight reindeer.
then Or. Moorc-Who, by the way. was q professor OF
theology-waS certainly the first to put the discovery
down on paper. ind In hat charming form!
For It was not much earlier than pr. Moorcis own
time that Santa Claus first came to be associated with
Christmas. For q long, long time. the families Of He.
land and Belgium had beer celebrating st. Nicholas Day,
December Q. as Q time for the secret bestOWal Of gifts
up-1 children. Eut only Il the last centuries have the
st. Nicholas doings been absorbed into the Christina:
festival.
The galy clad. red faced. white WHISPERED. jolly Santa
Claus who now annually visits every corner Of America
and every corner OF the British Empire. with his sleigh
load Of toys and his galloping reindeer. undoubtedly
owes tho universally Of his popularity to DR.. Moore.
Tho kindly professor. . hundred and seven years ago
next Christmas, wrote his delightful poem for tho cdifca-
tion d his own children. Not for some tins did he con-
oont q - pue1icak1oo. And that made" santa C1aus.

Need for Reorganization

The need for a thoroushgoing governmental rcorgan-
ization III Washington is illustrated by the recent an
nounccment OF William J. Cooper, U. S. commissioner of
education, that tho commissioner Of education is NO
longcr valet TO Santa Claus"
What Cooper meant was that the supervision of the
herd OF a million reindeer i'll Alaska has at last been
transferred idom the bureau Of education to the govern
ncnt Of Alaska.
Just how these far-away reindeer ever came under
The control Of this particular bureau seems to be O
mystery; but there they were. for nearly 40 years.
Wellington is full OF parallel cases. A complete re-
organization that would shuttle all such jobs and deal
them out in n more sensible manner is urgently needed.
