THE ANSWER TO VIRGINIA
(The moat widely ... road editorial (
ever written, stated the lteader'a Dl-j
gust In Its December 1933 edition, appeared
36 years ago in the New York |
Sun, has been repriuted by the Sun
annually at Christmas time ever since
has beon quoted In a score of languages
the world ovef;i"J
This world-famous "Santa Olaus editorial"
was an answer to the following
letter:
Dear Editor: I ant eight years old.
Some of my little friends say there
Is no Santa Claus. Please tell me the
l ruth.?Virginia O'Hanlon..
The editorial writer who was assigned
to reply to Virginia ut first dlsdainod
the t^ask as trivial then found
hitnsolf warming up to a real opportunity,
and finally^ wrote the words
that millions since then have warmed
to road. The answer follows:)
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong They have been affected by
the skepticism of a skeptical age.
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be which
is not comprehensible by their little
minds. All minds, Virginia, whether
they bo men's or children's are little.
In this great universe of ours, man
is a mere Insect In intellect, as compared
with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole 'truth.
Yes, Virginia, there Is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exists,
and you know that thoy abound and
give to your life its highest beauty
and Joy. Alas! how dreary would be
the world If there wore no Santa
Claus! It would be as dreary us if
there were no Virginias. There would
be no childlike faith then, no poetry,
no romance to make tolerable this
existence. We should have no enjoymeat,
except In sensq and sight. The
eternal light with which childhood
lllls -the world would be extinguished.
Not to believe in Santa Claus; you
might us well not believe in fairies.
You might get your papa and mama
to hire men to watch all the chimneys
on Christmas Eve to catch Santa, but
even if thoy did not see Santa Claus
coming down, what would that prove?
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but?that
is no sign there is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the world
are those that neither children nor
men can see.
You tear apart the baby's rattle
and see what makes the noise Inside,
but here Is a veil covering the unseen
world which not the strongest men,
nor even the united strength of all
the strongest men that ever lived
could tear apart. Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance, can push aside
that curtain and view the supernal
beauty beyond. Is it all real? Ah,
Virginia, In all this world there is
nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus? Thank God! he
lives, and lives forever. A thousand '
years from now, Virginia, nay, ten
times ten thousand years from now,'
he will continue to make glad the
heart of childhood.
BEGGARS THAT NEVER SLEEP
(Calhoun Times)
Let old and young pray that no j
semi plute in the future will try to (
sanctify his memory by establishing
any institution that can by hook and
crook be saddled upon the backs of
the taxpayers. There was Thomas O.
Clemson. who gets the honor and
glory of a college in his name, and
now next to the University and Winthrop.
the leading mourner at the
bench of free help and state taxes.
Cotton and every other product of
the producers may drop to zero. The
demands of the state boggars novor
follow the slump They go up, froih
year to year regardless of conditions.
All are bad enough but the University
is asking ?v?r a half million for maintenance.
and another half million for
improveiiu-uts. It has something over
1,.'iU0 students They must be the
po< r-*st "hurras" in the state to need
a h. If iniilfon tor rations and other
free accompaniments. Then there Is
Torn Clomaou'ti baby cr>iag fur an ,-xcess
of $-30<),<)00. Others in like proportion.
Put a beggar on a taxpayer's
back, and he needs no spurs to
ride like Jehu. And who are the taxpayers?
Echo answers, who?
Three men are dea<) as the rosult

of Morg&nton, N. C. Tfca fourth man
