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

will do her part, of course, but she
must act promptly for the time is
short and the opportunity may not
come again. 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.

The Voice of the Statesman.
Florida Times-Union. c
Our wisest economists are puzzled t
l>y some of the phenomena confront- | <
ug us in the home market, and | c
many of us are looking for light. ?
President Wilson is a scholar as well <
is a statesman, and we know he is |
honest and without prejudice?it is f
from these that enlightenment must
come unless we are to see again the
miracle of old when "out of the
mouth of babes" came wisdom to
confront learning and experience.
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?

That is one puzzle, and the presi- ,,os
