6 I The Christmas Ship | ! $ i News and Courier. , W< yKK -M+- 1 For the last month or so newspapers all over the country have been tilled with stories of the Christmas Ship, the ship that is to carry a ray of sunshine into the clouded lives of the war orphans of Europe. All over this broad land froui coast to coast, up and down its borders and in and out its cities and towns and villages the news has travelled that a wonder ship laden with Christmas cheer would sail from this land of peace to foreign shores, beyond which lie war and desolation and starvation and the wreckage of homes which but a few short months ago echoed with the laughter of happy children. Now the war clouds have rolled up with j amazing swiftness and buried in their shadows the homes of thous amis of little ones who have been : forced to seek reluge in strange lands. Far removed from all famil- iar scenes these small soldiers of for- . tunes are called upon to face prob- i lems which would bring despair to ( the hearts of brave men and women. , True it ist the responsibility will not weigh heavily upon them for any length of time because youth and . immaturity acknowledge no respon-' sibility that cannot be shifted at | pleasure, but they will know and realise as only little children can the absence of their good friond Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas, as he , is known to many of them, when Christmas comes around. Just because they have been forced to leave their homos will be no satisfactory reason to them for his fail- S ure to make his annual call, and it seems to us that there is no sorrow quite so pitiful as a child's disappointment over an empty Christmas stocking. It was a tender thought, a "golden thought.'' as someone has expressed it, wh'cli prompted the editor of theeChieago Herald to start the movement for a Christmas ship ami the generous respons" which it has met is to the lasting credit of the American public. There can be no question of whether the people of this community can do as much, but r:\ther how much they can do. Times are hard, it is true, but that makes little difference when the Christmas happiness of children is at stake, and for the sake of our own little ones safe in their homes and happy in the thought of coining of another Christmas season let us make a sacrifice and give generously of our means to gladden the hearts of some of tlie fatherless, homeless children of Europe. Thousands of stockings will he stored away in the hold of the good ^iip Jason when it leaves the Brooklyn dock on November 10, and it will be a pleasant memory to carry with us through life to know that somewhere tucked away in one of those precious stockings will he a gift of | ours to brighten a little child's life. Of course il is not possible to reach every child in Eur .pt who has been orphaned by the war but at least an earnest effort will be made to bring a ray of Christmas sunshine into as many fatherless lit'lo hearts as is possible. The movement has taken wide shape in many states, Texas,, . we are told, having contributed a million quarter-pound packages of puts. The National Federation of Women's Clubs is doing line work among its members to further the good cause and from the reports which have been received from var ious sources the Jason's cargo will i Ko n ~ T ? .1 1 ,-.1 1 ? ?

We are as a rule, actuated by generous impulses and the desire to be of service to others, but many of us, either through carelessness or lack of initiative, neglect to put our wishes into effect and ; thereby lose many cherished oppor- j tunities of doing good. We cannot afford to be indifferent on this occasion, however, and the realisation of the pitiable plight, of the thou-: sands of boys and girls upon whose I innocent heads war's iieavy penalties j have already fallen will he sufficient i to make us clamor tor the privilege ; of serving them. It is said that let- I tern to Santa Claus from many i American children have already) been received requesting the transference this year of their toys to the little orphans of the war-ridden countries, and if such sentiments can animate the hearts of the children at our own firesides, surely we who are In conspiracy with Santa Clnus will be quick to benefit by their lofty example.

Hear President Wilson. therefore, and be ready to applaud when he speaks: "High prices did not spring directly out of the tariff. The/ sprang out of the suppression of domestic, no less than of foreign, compeition by means of combinations and trade agreements which could be much more easily contrived and maintained under the protection of a high tariff than without it." Nothing new or surprising in that?it is the old doctrine generally received. Hut a satisfying solution must solve all the difficulties and give a complete answer?pardon us t if we ask for more. liigh prices come from the suppression of competition? For we have a mass of legislation prepared on the -opposition that competition will save 11 and another mass, if not equal to size yet portentous, which denies us the right to compete. How's that?

IIow can it be possible that a bumper crop means 1 i loss, and we are the richer for small crop of cotton than a big one? That war in Europe deprives us of eood customers, and we can under stand how the Iobs of a customer en Lails disaster on the merchant, but we were not entirely happy last year when markets were glutted because we produced too much and prices fell below the cost of production. We ;an't blame the war for the Injuries we received before the war was detain red. Are high prices good or bad? Are low prices a help or a hurt?
