Baltimore Sub. : A bunch of Boatonians, led by Mus Lotta Clark, have started a new eru-. sade against Santa Claus. They say 8iuia Claus is u myth, and that chil d?en should not be taught to be!i-ve in myths. In other words, they want to rob childhood of its sweetest possession, to dwe.rf its imagination and form its character upon the cold foundation of fact. These people ha ve not stopped to consider that the crea ture of the imagination of today Is the accomplished fact of tomorrow; the accepted ; fact of today, often the exploded fallacy of tomorrow. Tbey forget that everything worth knowing or doing in life has been first pictured to the imaginative mind. Columbus imagined another continent beyond the see, and boldly Bailed away to its discovery. New ton Imagined the force that drew the apple to the ground, and the law of gravitation was soon made plain. Wstts imagined the giant force of steam when beaaw the vapor disturb the lid of his mother's tea kettle, and the mighty locomotive of the present J uay started on its way. Franklin's imagination sent him to fishing the lond with a key, a kite and a silk strlug, and the electric current was le-i captive. Edison imagined ti;e fl..-od of light that dweltin electricity, and the world now d web's in Its radi aoce. Marconi imagiied the invisi bis lines that thread the trackless air, $n 1 we have the wireless telegraph. Ucoumbered fmaginaUons have felt the bodies that gave them habitation eo i ring birdlike over and above the earth and behold the flying machine Imagination explores the unexplo ruble, fathoms the unfathomable, m.3ures the. immeasurable. It ip the forerunner of achievement, the' pioneer of accomplishment, the pro-1 phet of the possible. To stunt the inn gtnation is to discourage the mind, i to hamper the soul, to shackle the ! B'ijitionj. To destroy the imagina- j uad over 100,000 injured while cros3 tiun is to paralyze genius, crippie in-".?g or walking along railroad tracks, vestigatlon and bid the world stand j; This is a tragic record never ap 8t;ll. This from the standpoint of thet '-roaehed in -any other country. In physical value of imagination to the . wo? II. ' .. From the spiritual viewpoint " th-. ltes from the destruction of this pgr ticu'ar creature ct the imaginatloc vojld be still greater. . Santa Claun etnuodies to the childish mind the ftphit of Christmas, implants the 1m pulses of generosity, ofiove and c. brotherly kindness. What but the beautiful belief in Santa Claus would make the rag doll iu the hovel and the costly gifts in the mansion equal ' ly potent to bring happiuess to the citiidish mind? Who but Santa Clau? i cculJ, no matter how much the little one asks, render it content and hap py, no matter how litue it receives? Af:er all, it ia the spirit of the fdver tust really makes the gift, and so no matter whai physical form the bricg er of the gift rray bear, If the gpirir b i that of Santa Claus, with his love for all earth's little ones, and the will to give to all, If the ability were there, then that spirit is Santa Claus, aa much if it creeps In at the side door and hides away the gifts from little pryiog eyes,' or softly enters at the front after those little eyes are elosed in happy eleep -no matter bow or iu v bat form the gift may come, if the bearer has the soul of the myth tea; S iota Claus, then he Is Santa Claus. aod Santa Claus becomes a fact. And even , a bunch of Bostonians can't abolish a fact. : v ho woz it that sed "If our fore Bights wuz az good az our bind sites we'd never mi?s a mark?" . It wont Shskeepere yuz it?

Food ex perts have another theory on their hand3 today to account for the drop In prices. This latest one is ad vanced by Senator 0en, of Oklahoma, who says that the Democratic vote did it. "Palling prices are due," he as--:rta, "to the powerful influence hich the universal opinion of tee j merican people, shown in the last : Miction, exerted. When a - great; party is overthrown,, as the Repubii- j ? ins were on November 8, it is a far- rtAchln Davc-holosical influence One Of the Chief factors leading to ! .u , Kut. Lnia overthrow was the high prices rKl hv manoDolv. and unless these 1 jices were reduced. tho3e responsi- J h'a for them would naturally antici tate the application to them of dras ' c remedied." The coet-of living situation is fast becoming a puzzle. Secretary Wil Bon says the lower meat prices ere lue to a short hay crop. Dr. Wiley - iys they are a trick of the "inter- sts." Now comes Senator Owen, tt-id says "the Democrats did it." TRAGEDY THAT TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF THOUSANDS. Baltimore Baa. While walking on the railroad track near Tuxedo, Md., a man and i iis wife were struck by a train and j-jstantly killed. In their cottage not rr away were five little children, rpbaned in an instant. All the res taects had been warned of the dan-..-ar of walking on the track, but the 'tilroad bridge formed a "near cut" ; ad scores of them used it as a thor oughfare. The accident in which Mr. and Mrs. Gray were killed cnocked the entire community. Many t -hers had walked along that same stretch of track, never considering the fact that they were jeopardizing their own lives and running the risk rf leaving their babies alone in the workl. y '. The fate of these children left with out father, mother or near relatives t -niched. ''the', hearts of thousands. Friends were raised up on every hand. They found that not only !re the children left penniless, but p here was a mortgage of $300 on the dome. - A fund wao started in Wah- iatrton by the Herald, and in a few nays the entire amount needed to i-iae the mortgage aud put a free roof over their heads was subscribed. A prominent lawyer, Mr. Robert Wells, volunteered to undertake the responsibility of their guardianship. Funds are now being contributed for ieir suppmt, and though a good deal r-jore is needed,1 there is no doubt tijat It will be contributed. Cierks in he Pension Bureau, mechanics in rie Navy Yard, jurors in the courts, uarenls and children were glad to :ive their dimes and dollirs. - But charity cannot give back their jz-rtnta. A statement recently was ssued showing that si ace the compa nies htve kept correct a records more iaan 50,000 persons have been killed 1 .. reat part it is undoubtedly due to is rppklfwriPKfl of nfidpHtrin.ns.whr. m eplte of ail warnings, persist in U3- I ing the tracks as a roadway; but ' aany are killed on the deadly grade crossings Btill maintained by the oada in every section. Yet this hocking waste of life goes on with io strong concerted tflort to prevent t. In England there are no grade. . rossings, the tracks are fenced in, nd the number of persons killed or ulmed by traios is probably not so reat as the number killed by cyclones .rx this country. : .To' dwellers in Eng- .'nd or on ihe Continent, Americans ust seem Jo have a reckless disre gard for human life.
