THE crowd grows larger and blocks
the mouth of the street. Men and
women hang out of the tenement win
dows. The dicks poke fun at a Negro
woman who listens eagerly. A big
beefy man passes by and mutters to
the pickets, "You got right, I'll say"
School children flock down the street.
One of them, a Pioneer, asks hungrily
how the fights going on. She'll picket
after school.
But the forts of the enemy are here

Is There a Santa Claus?

We take pleasure in answering at once and
expressing at the same time our great gratif-
cation that its faithful author il numbered
among the friends Of the Sun:
Dear Editor-I am eight years old.
Some of my little friends say there II
no Santa Claus.
Papa says: III you see It In tho Sun
It's So
Please tell me the truth Is there
Santa CLAUSE"
VIRGINIA O'HANLON.
Virginia, your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the Hkepticism OF
a skeptical age. They think that nothing can
be which is not comprehensive by their little
minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be
mems or little childrcns, are little. In this
an ant, in his intellect, AZ compared with tho
boundless world about him, AZ measured by
the intelligence capable Of grasping the whole
of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He
exists ~ certainly as love and generosity and
devotion exist, and you know that they
abound and give to your life its highest beauty
and Joy. Alasl how drcary would be the world
If there were no Santa Claus. 1t would b. ~
drear a II there were no VHKlnfa1. 1nere
would be no child-like faith then. no poetry,
no romance to make tolcrable this existence.
We should have no enjoyment, except in sense
and sight. The eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be extnguishsd
Not believe in Santa CLAUSE You might u
well not believe In fairies You might get
your papa to hire men to watch In al the
chin1neys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even II they did not sec Santa
Claus coming down, what would that provs9
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that Is no sign
that there is no Santa Claus. The most real
things in the world are those that neither
children nor men can see. Did you ever see
fairies dancing on the lawn? OF course not,
but that's no proof that they are not there.
Nobody can conceive or imagine al tho won
ders there are unseen and unsceable In the
world.
You may tear apart the babys rattle and
see what makes the noise inside but thsrs II
veii covering the unseen world which not
the strongest man, nor even the united
strength Of all the strongest men that ever
lived, could tear apart Only faith, fancy, po-
etry, love, romance, can push aside that cur
tain and view and picture the superna1 beauty
and glory beyond. Il It all real2 All, Virginia
in all this world there il nothing else real and
abiding.
No Santa claus7 Thank Godl he lives for
ever. A thousand years from now, Virginia

that they may long retain their beautiful relish
for the unbought homebred joys which derive
their flavor from flial pety and fraternal love,
and which they may be assured are the least
alleged that time can furnish them; and that
they may never part with that simplicity OF
character which Is their own faIrest ornament,
and for the sake OF which they have been pro-
nounced, by authority which none can gainsay,

of Heaven"
Other newspapers copied the poem and soon
1t had become known all over the country and
even found its way into the school readers. But
despite Its popularity, Its author preferred
to remain unknown In 1909 he had published
his monumental Hebrew and English lexicon,
the first work OF its kind to be Issued In this
country and 4 scholarly work which he hoped
would make his name famous AS scholar he
did not want 1t known that he had composed
what he called this SILLY verse" But he could
not help 1t becoming known that he had writ

'-The New York Book OF Poetry" with his name
attached to 1t. Finally In 1852, forty years after
he had written It, he admitted It's authorship

ciety autograph copy Reproduced above)

that "the original free pension
system could provide for only

The reason given for the estao-

ito provide retiring allowances
for teachers and pensions for
their widows in universities, col

tracts was 14,919, and the total
amount of the annuitieS $13,662,-
