Betty ran to the window and looked out, She peered up and down the street, She couldn't sec Santa Claus, but she knew those must have been his sleighbells, She knew Santa Claus Brown must have gotten up from hts hospital bed, put on his Santa Claus uniform, and, once more his usual happy, jolly self, ridden away In his sleigh drawn by rein- deer.
 She was almost sure that she heard him call back, as his rein- deer galloped north,

Retreat From Trouble

A Washington woman. faithful to
her role as wife and mother, recently
established a new rule for the home
over which she presides. Under this
roof" she said, there will be no
further discussion of controversial
subjects. We believe in peace and
hereafter will strive to practice it."
Similarly, more than a few indi-
viduals have chosen deliberately to
isolate themselves from politics, do
mestic and international. They have
let their friends know that they do
not mean to add to the confusion by
talking about the rivalries of parties
and states. It is duty, they con-
cede, to know what is going on in
the world; but they refuse to be
drawn into the turmoil. BY con-
scious choice they are retreating
from trouble. Their flight may seem
cowardly, yet it is not unnatural.
For more than a quarter century
they have been suffering torture
which they believe to be hurtful to
body and spirit.
OF course, they could cite ample
precedent for their determination to
escape from the conflict. Every age,

New Tuxicob Rates

BY order of the Public Utilities
Commission, new system of taxicab
rates will 60 into effect tomorrow.
After a temporary staying of the
order issued last week, the commits
sion found it could not serve the
public interest by further delaying
the slight increase in fares.
So far as the officials of the Dis
trict are concerned, this realignment
of rates is as far as they can 60 in
attempting to solve the puzzle of
Washington's plethora of cabs. The
increase will help little, but only
very little, in answering a serious
problem. Anything further which is
to be accomplished must come
through congressional action.
Hearings already have been held
in the House on bill to give the
Utilities Commission authority to
limit the number of taxicabs in use.
But the issue is confused by many
factors. There are groups, mainly
composed of drivers, who want the
bill to embody control of the auto
mobile finance companies, which,
they charge, dominate the cab busi-
ness. Others would limit cabs di-
rectly, while still others would limit
them through a limitation on the
number of drivers licensed. The
larger companies and associations
are at loggerheads with individ-
ual independent drivers on many
points, with the result there is little
coordination of viewpoint among
those most directly interested and
most articulate in the argument.
Few definite suggestions have been
made, and only one of them, that cabs
be limited to from four hundred to
six hundred per hundred thousand
population, bears merit.
When stripped of its superdciali-
ties, there is little benefit to be de-
rived by the general public or by the
taxicab industry from allowing an
unlimited number of public vehicles,
operating at starvation rate under
a battling zone system, to clutter the
streets. If any definite results are
to be achieved, and the demand Ger
tainly is imperative, Congress must
cast aside many of the individual
viewpoints and act solely upon the
base of public convenience and ne
cessity. All other considerations
either are selfish or extraneous.

sanctuaries for wearied souls. In
modern as in ancient times people
seek the shelter of the church in
quest of healing for hearts sore with
suffering. Also, great multitudes
have recourse to outdoor recreations.
Still others find solace in books, pic
lures and music. 1t is the part Of
wisdom to avoid involvement in a
useless and fruitless quarrel. Nor is
he who assumes detached position
worthy of blame for lack Of interest
in the fate of the race to which he
belongs or the destiny of the country
to which he is devoted. Some of the
very noblest characters that ever
have lived have been hermits in a
period of fratricidal struggle. In that
respect they have served civilization.

A DIFFERENT WEEK
By the Right Reu James Freeman, D. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop of WASHINGTON

Out Of the 50 weeks Of the year one has,
for centuries been called "Holy Week"
The record of history recites the story of
mang great men, men who have achieved
high distinction and won the plaudits of
their fellows. Enduring memorials reared
by grateful peoples witness to the prowess,
the genius and commanding leadership
Of the good and the great. That sue
ceeding generations have profited by this
proud record is clearly evident.
Westminster Abbey in London en-
shrines the greatest memories in English
history and within its sacred walls the
leaders of the past find repose in what
men call the iron Sleep" Kings, states
men, poets, soldiers, writer's here mingle
their dust beneath the pavements over
which the reverent feet of the multitude
pass year by year. All this is as 1t should
be, and within these clustered walls
England pays unfailing tribute to her
honored dead.
Search where we will we do not find in
the long annals Of history any man or
group OF men who have made such last
AAS AAAp1 Coo4OIl Oll CllC race CIldL OuJ Oh
each year week is set apart to tell again
the story of their mighty achievements.
There is no 'Holy Week" saving for Him
who, centuries ago, in an obscure corner
OF the world gave His life for a cause so
great that 1t has changed the religious
thought of men the world over. Here is
recorded within the compass of a short
week the story of One who in the fullness
OF youth was tried, falsely accused and
nailed upon cross Few were His fol-
lowers and all that is written concerning
His life is contained within four short
books. His words were few and the long
est Of His known utterances is an exalted
message, commonly called "the Sermon
on the Mount" To add to the ignominy
OF His cruel execution, two thieves were
crucified with Him and His enemies felt
that His death marked the end of His
influence and power.
This in brief is the story upon which q
world religion has been built, and yet
Evening star., 1939-04-02

more memorials In every part Of the
earth witness to His short life than have
been erected to any man who ever lived
Even skeptic historians like Gibbon and
analysts of history like Lecky reckon
with His continuing and prevailing power
In every age. What endless books have
been written, what world embracing sys-
TENS have been set up, what saints and
martyrs have proclaimed His truth in
every period of history! This was He of
whom great thinker and scholar wrote:
"He lifted the gates Of empire from their
hinges and turned the stream of CEN
turies from its course"
The greatest of earth have been COM
PEELED to pause in reverence before Him
and to acknowledge His sovereign power.
Napoleon In the loneliness of exile ad-
monished his marshal, Bertrand, with
these words: alexander, Caesar Charlie
magne and myself have founded great
empires, but upon what do these crea-
tlons of our genius depend? Upon force.
Jesus alone founded an empire upon
love, and to this day millions would die
for Him. think understand something
of human nature, and tell you all these
were men and am man; none else is
like Him. Jesus Christ was more than
man."
1t is the utter incomprehensibleness of
His personality, the indescribable beauty
of His message; the majesty of His bear
ing before the petty Roman prince, Pom
titus PLATE; the sublimity of His patience
before His accusers and the unfathomed
depths of His love on the cross that have
made this week that chronicles again His
death Holy Week. Surely to enter un-
derstandingly, reverently and sympa-
thetically into these days that follow,
could the whole world but grasp the
meaning of their message, would prove
blessing indeed to the distracted minds
and the confused purposes of men. We
tragically need Holy Week with its
lonely Son OF God upon the cross. Its
story furnishes the key to much of the
worlds misery and the heartsease to
much of its pain.

Nonkine Politics

The Japanese military regime in
Nanking is up against an annoying
problem in civics. For reasons not
Immediately apparent to the mere
Occidental intellect, they make a
practice of filling most municipal
Offices, from dog catcher up to mayor,
with local Chinese talent, so that a
fiction of self government may be
maintained, and in practice it hasn't
worked out so well. So far dissatis-
fed electorate has removed from
office no less than two hundred and
forty of these stooges, by means OF
poison, knives, bullets, axes and other
Chinese election paraphernalia.
Sometimes bombs are used, in which
case the entire Office is removed,
along with the incumbent.
1t is quite evident that the citizens
of Nanking are not lukeWarm in their
politics, as is so often the case in
American communities. And yet, sad
to say, the course of good government
does not run smoothly. Alderman
Wang, for instance, overwhelmingly
elected by a million Chinese votes
and a few thousand japanese bay
onets, moves into office. He spends
a few days lining up the fan tan pro-
prietors in his ward for their weekly
pay-off, and has begun to make
progress with Cherry Blossom, his
stenographer, when suddenly he re-
ceives an impromptu delegation from
a citizens committee on legislative
reform, When Cherry Blossom comes
back from lunch she takes a good
look at the head of the department,
realizes that it is not much good all
by itself and puts in requisition for
another alderman. Then the whole
tedious process has to be repeated.
All this is very distressing to the
Mikados minions, who have labored
so unselfishly in Marking at their
humanitarian task of saving its in
habitants from the horrors of Bol-
shevism. There is strong suspi-
cion that the electorate is not CO.
operating and that the supply of
political candidates is running low.
The japanese are urging their Chi
nese proteges not to be alarmed, but
to keep their heads. The Chinese
proteges are so heartily in favor of
that idea that the more cautious ones
do not run for office; they run
from 1t.

Rules of Conduct

Legislative proposals of the Senate
Civil Liberties Committee for the
prohibition of certain Oppressive
labor practices" are fully deserving
of thorough consideration by Con-
gress.
For the better part of three years
this committee has been digging
deeply into certain industrial condi-
tions, uncovering practices clearly
not conducive to peaceful or healthy
labor relations. Among such prac-
tices, all of which would be pro-
hibited by the pending legislation,
are the use of detectives as spies
against Workmen seeking to effect
organization, the use of professional
strike breakers hired at exorbitant
rates from agencies which made
lucrative business of fomenting
labor strife, and the unrestrained use
of heavily munitioned private police
armies to fight labor.
Fortunately, as the committee
points out, these were not the pol
icies of the majority but rather Of
"a powerful minority" Any reason
able legislative prohibitions against
their continuance, or recurrence,
should have the support, therefore,
not only of those who have suffered
by such practices but of the en-
lightened majority Of industry who
realize existence of such conditions
initiates against all orderly labor
relations.
At the same time, there must be
general acknowledgment that the
question of protecting civil liberties,
in this instance to the end of peace
full and orderly labor relations, is a
multisided responsibility with indus
try, labor, government and the
public under obligation to abide by
comparably broad standards of fair
conduct. When such acknowledge
ment is made there will be less
necessity for prohibitions in law.
