The best thing about Christmas is that as a geiiiiral rulo each one ia better than the one before it was. S. Cluus is Renerally reputed to re side at tho North Pole, but fortu nately the immigration laws can't touch him. . - Newspaperin' seems a vain and fu--tils thing, on such an occasion as this. What havo Santa Claus , and the mistletoe to do with news? Ohio cities are threatened by flood, and others are threatened with severe drought ,Tho early promise for Greensboro is a normal holiday. Another thing that makes it merry, for all except the coal man, poor man: while there is still time left for a Hard winter, it cannot very well be a Long one. . ... . . j Kugene Debs is to be released from prison today, and since the Tresldent has seen fit to do it, no doubt it's all right. But all the same, ha'd bet ter not try it again. To fellow puracraphers, all and sundry, we lift high a goblet of but tcrmilk: "Here's to your good health, and your families' good health; may you all live long, und brosberl" But as for the Daily News ''Utah, it has its hands full a matter of a couple of years' resting all to bo done today. It is now 2-4 months since the shop was locked up for an entire day. Here comes Collector livtssnm on the merry Yulotido eve with the re minder that federal income tax list ing begins on the 15th dny of the gladsome Ne Year. The collector is a Regular sunsliine spreader. We see by tho want tul columns that Thomasville is advertising for a banker. We svenvlo remember hav ing heard something nbout one being wanted down there, but powerful us is our faith in the efficacy of Daily News Wants we doubt that they will fetch that particular one. The compact between S. Claus und small Johnnie, whereby for valuable considerations the' party of the second part did covenant and agree to follow for a given period an unnatural course of doings and omissions, said course commonly described as "being a good boy" this day expires by limi tation. Yo parngraphcr wishes a merry Christmas and extends fraternal greetings to tho mighty army of the newly-busted this morning; ami If that doesn't include all,, uuf -quaintnncen, we should like to bo in formed as to whom we have omitted, for that person might lie good for a nan. , THE BEST CHRISTMAS. Tho merriest of merry Chritmases to tho friends and neighbors to whom tho Daily News is permitted to offer the compliments of the season this morning. "Way nothing you dismay;" but, on the contrary, may the Joy of the cheeriest season till you with com fort that will last through many long winter days. Indeed, tho people who honestly believe in the spirit of Christmas, what we are wont to call the spirit of old-fashioned Christmas although truly it is forever new, have reason for merriment this day; for their spirit prevail more widely in the earth in 1921 than in many years.! Tho old-fashioned spirit, wo take-it, means tolerance of the weakness of others, kindness toward one's neigh bors, willingness to give the other fel low a lift with hi burdens, and a resolute endeavor to make the most of such measure of happiness as may fall to one's lot. After seven murderous, years of hate, during which it was obscured, if not forgotten, that spirit once more is asserting its dominance over the minds of men. Not that we have achieved it, or como anywhere near achieving it; but we are admitting once again that it .is the ideal toward which we should strive. The Wan Lord is dethroned, and again we pay lip-service, at least, to the Prince of Peace, Not the foolish puppet-emperor who bombastically called him self war lord he was hurled into the limbo of forgotten things three years ago but the) real War Lord, that spirit among men that proclaims that this world shall be ruled by might and by power, and not by the Bpirit of the Lord of Hosts, has lost the greater part of his following, and the remnant dwindles every day. The red planet is Betting, and the star of the cast is in the ascendant again. Hut there is room for calling it a merry Christmas nearer home than in worldly affairs. North Carolina is going forward, not merely in ma terial wealth, but in her regard for the helpless and the unfortunate. There is a greut and encouraging significance in the very fact that, while the state has been undergoing a more or less embarrassing financial stringency, there has been no sug gestion that it should economize, at the expense of its wards cither the public school children, or those in the care of its various eleemosynary in stitutions. North Carolina is begin ning to reulizo more strongly than ever she did before that the command ment which Christ put Becond must be observed before attention is paid to selfish ends. Is not that evidence of a growth of the Christmas spirit in practical thing3? Most striking and conspicuous of all has been the news of the last few days in our own county of Guilford. The significcnt gift that Guilford county has made to humanity in the shapo .of a great hospital to combat tuberculosis had the support to their honor be it said of many Jews and freethinkers; but the great bulk of the vote that made it possible was cast by the people who depend for the healing of their souls on Him whom they call the Master of all physicians. It is a brilliant case of social progress and of wise and far sighted government, to be sure; but it is also a material exemplification of tho spirit of Him whoso birth we celebrate today, and who "went about healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people." He who seeks them, and he need riot be very diligent in his seeking, no doubt can find horrors and misery enough to cast a gloom over the day. The Christmas spirit has not yet permeated the world, else it would be transformed Into a place so close to Paradise that men would cease to wish for heaven. Pain and sorrow still exist, in woeful measure. But for tho man who deliberately chooses to look for these things today, there is no hope. After all, the Christmas spirit may be encouraged by things without, but it must take its rise within. None can lighten the gloom of those who will not be merry. But ho who wishes to find joy and peace the festival time hasiall the en couragement he could wish all around him. Even the old song recognized that fact. It called down blessings, not on all men, without discrimination, but made a sharp distinction in favor of those who wished to be blessed. It isn't "God rest you, gentlemen;" for folk songs are always founded on sound psychology, and, whether he stopped to think about it or not, the writer of the carol knew tbat not all men can bo blessed, even at Christmas time. So the Daily News defers to the experience of the race and accepts the limitation, as it pass es along to its readers the greeting of tho waits: " fTntt rest- ynn.-- merry utloinen; ' .May nothing you diniuy. NO PAPER TOMORROW. With the exception of a sketchy and diminished office force, the Daily News expects to take holiday today, and that no paper will issue tomor row; tho first paperless morning but one in the institution's history. There Is next to no occasion for advertisers to advertise, as most places of business will bo closed. Sunday produces the least news of all the days of tho week, holidays arc unproductive of news, and the pros pect for a combination holiday and Sunday offers no pretext for issuing a newspaper. The Associated Press avenues of communication will be kept open, and if anything should happen of which readers ought to be apprised, the boys will be summoned to news and mechanical departments and a paper will be printed. The main reason for the decision to give tho whole force a day of rest un less something very extraordinary should happen is the unlikelihood that thero will be material Monday morn ing out of which to make a newspaper. I TO YOU, FRIEND. The circulation department have exhibited to the staff a large map of North Carolina to which they have been doing things. They have stuck in lacks, with heads of white and black and gay colors ; scores of towns and villages and hamlets thus desig nated ; the result is, if the Statesville Daily will permit, colorful. It looks like a Christmas decoration, but Is not. The effect is peculiarly cheerful to all who work in this -establishment because each tack represents a group of readers ; one color, 25 to 50, an other 50 to 75, a broad-headed one with the number of daily and Sunday subscribers marked in hundreds, etc. This regiment of upstanding sym bols, like so many gay-hatted soldiers, strewn around over the mountains, the hill country, the coastal plain, helps us all somewhat to visualize our audience, tho immense throng of North Carolina folks for whose daily information and edification we all strive. ' It Is as if one could go in a ship of the air far enough up f.o see the whole stiitc, and as if thbre were some color formation in each locality indicative of the density of Daily News-reading population there. It aids the imagination in a flight of visitation to Daily News friends in their homes ; the humble cottage, the mansion, the comfortable, substan tial dwelling of the average North Carolina family, where the great ma jority of Daily News readers are found. Friends, to yon, Merry Christmas! Many vi you, in the coves and valleys of the western mountains, over the busy Piedmont; the alluvial plains, on down to the Atlantic's brink, have been faithful in your friendly sup port for many ypara. We have no pleasanter thought than that 'you have found us worthy in sufficient degree to warrant you to continue the association. In deepest sincerity we send on this brightest day in all the calendar the wish that you may have an abundant share of the season's Joy. Friend, to you.a Merry Christmas! We osk you to receive this as a per sonal greeting, to serve in lieu of a face-to-face, palm-to-palm outgiving of Christmas felicitation; in the ex change of n that cordial good will which is the hope of the world, the only thing upon which humanity may depend for that ultimate tranquillity toward which every heart yearns. There arr), at least 5.145 neoDle in Gulfford county who are entitled to merry Christmas, if helping along a poor fellow who can't help himself gives one such a right. They are the people who voted the tuberculosis sanatorium into existence last Tues day; and we believe that their right to merriment is fully established. We don't want the city dads to be come over -exhilarated, but if they should become merry enough to re solve to stop fooling with Elm street and pave it pronto, why, it would be a wonderfully successful Christmas with them. THE PROGRESS OF PEACE. They ahall beat their swords Into - plowsharea, and their spears Into pruning hook; nation shall not lift up aword against nation, neither shall tney learn war any more. jsaian, If biblical chronology is correct, and hardly anybody pretends that it is, nearly jiOO years passed between the Messianic dream of the prophet and the first Christmas morning when an gels sang a song and another proph ecy over the fields of Bethlehem. Barely moro than 1900 years have come and gone since celestial choris ters chanted "peace on earth, good will to men." "This peace and good will have not arrived in Impressive measure. Yet, great as ia the distance be tween heaven and earth, it was far greater when Christ Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Those who look only at the daily news in the morning pa pers will find much to overshadow and darken their Christmas memories and their Christmas hopes; but those who will turn from their newspapers to histories and compare the condi tions of today with the world of 1900 years ago will find that peace has made steady and" enduring progress; will find much to encourage and in spire. For the age in which the prophet dreamed and the angels sang found war the pastime of nations and fore enthroned in the capital of the world, Heard by men of less wide or less keen intelligence, there would "have been a touch of bitter irony in the sublime words of the prophet and the prophetic carol of tho choiring an gels. Force was triumphant every where, and in tho near future ap palling disaster hung like a pall over Jerusalem; a thousand years of strife and disorder wero before the race in ths long process of reorganizing civilization along new and radically different'lines. Another stretch of centuries beyond this thousand years, an age of battle, of contention and bitter antagonisms, delayed the lorn ing of the Kingdom of Ilim in whose name Isaiah cang with his deathless faith. Slowly but "surely humanity climbs the steep ascent of heaven. Pain fully and with almost tragic toll, the race moves upward, making no prog ress without shedding its blood, gain ing no ground without deep and bit ter sacrifice. But somehow, in the anguish of its long march this poor race slowly but surely disciplines it self in self-denial, in self-control and care for others. That is what stands behind world peace conferences, that is what directs world charities and world philanthropies, that is what makes Christmas the harbinger of world peace and the prognostic of in ternational altruism. Those of us who weary in well-doing find it hard to account for mod ern ways. It is difficult to under stand Christians who clamored loud ly for such a federation of nations as would merely set the world an ex ample of peace, who then turned and rent the only human being who had offered to that good hour anything approaching world peace. The con version of war's machinery into weapons of usefulness, the dropping of war's ways into utter oblivion seemed moro humanly possible two years ago than today; but for all that, the race is climbing the celes tial ascent; there is progress In the world of peace. For civilized countries will not go again to war without pleading before the bar of popular opinion, moral jus tification, and when that is not to be had, nations will invent it. If they fight again they will summon all the resources of science, vf religion, of public and private generosities to diminish the horrors of conflict. There is not yet a pact to abolish war utterly, the armies in a few first rate nations are undiminished, the navies have not gone to the scrap heap. But society for all its beauti ful words and sordid conduct, for all its renunciations of high idealism, is becoming more and more reluctant to use its resources of war and the in disposition to employ these weapons outgrows the armaments themselves. These tools of death become more and more deadly; but society becomes more and more sensitive to the sav agery of war and shows a deepening repulsion to its waste and horror. At its very worst it is a vastly kindlier, more humaije and more un selfish world than that into which Jesus Christ was born. If one looks at the vulgarity and sham of modern life, of the brutal indifference of the strong toward the weak, the setting aside of marital sanctities, the shoddy splendor and coarse manners of so much miscalled society, the push of men to get ahead in the world, and the strident voices of professional malcontents, he will think us far from that kingdom of love Into which the prophet dreamed that " little child shall lead them." But noisy, crude, confused and vulgar as is the modern world, it has the prestige of spiritual position. It has a great and unshakable faith. The Child has transformed the world of force; He will transform the world of greed, if we will only let Him. No such glaring disparity between the invisible power of love and the organized force of selfishness exists today as was found in His da. Love and greed, truth and error still fight it out, but the battle is more in the open .and where they are Love and Truth win their way. Intent as a co terie of Americans have been on "America First," they must pay the world decent regard for appearances. Vulgar as we all have been, we are stirred by an uneasy consciousness that there are better things than we possess; eager and brutal as we are in the pursuit of ignoble ends, we are smitten with a growing knowledge that we are mocked by the very things to which we have given our hearts and that there, is something at work in society which will defeat its final and perfect satisfaction with its poor gains. wnereiore, there is a growing peace and good will among men for which all of us on this day must thank God and take courage. , 1 PVBLIC PULSE THF.Ill EFFORTS OF TEA11S REWARDED Editor of The Dally News: At a meeting of the PUtrlct Nurae and Hellef. committee thla morning was asked to convey the gratitude the committee to the Daily News, to every organisation, and euoa ludiviaual who, by their co-operation and untir ing efforta made Pecemher 10 a day we buva dreamed of and worked for since our organization.
