ThlH In the acus?n when the kiddies
ire interested In writing their letters
o Hanta Claus, making known their
leslres as to v. hut shall tx* pluced In
heir stockings on the interesting
light of the year to childhood, lt is a
jeautiful custom-a modern develop
uent of the Hanta Claus tradition that
ueans so much to children, old and
i'OUUg.
The first batch of letters to Santa
Maus always to tiring to the minds of
nany what is perhaps the most fam
JUB literary production ever elicited
.y such a letter. Many "anBwers"
here have been, but the one which
,vas printed a number of years ago in
.he New York Hun, and widely credit
ed to tho editor. Mr. Dana, has be
come a classic Mr. Dana wan not,
However, the author of this particu
ar editorial. It was written by a com
paratively obscure editorial writer for
The Hun, a Mr. Church, who died nome
Uve or six years ago. It should be
explained, rather, that the letter from
'Virginia" was not addressed to
9snta Claus, but was rather an in
quiry of the editor as to whether or
not there was -and ls-a Santa
'laus. The editorial reply was as fol
lows:
"Vi-s, Virginia, thero is a Santa
Dlaus. Ho exists as certainly as love
?ind generosity and devotion exist; and
you know that they abound and give
to your life its highest beauty and
loy. Alas! how dreary would be thc
world if thore were no Hanta Claus
It would ge as dreary as if there
were no Virginias. There would bc
DO childlike faith then, no poetry, nt
romance to make tolerable this work
except in sense and sight. Tho eter
nal light with which childhood fill:
the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! Yoi
might as well not believe in fairies
You might get your papa to hire mei
to watch in ali the chimnoys ot
Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus
but even if they did not see 8anU
Claus coming down what would tha
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, bu
that ls no proof that there is no Santa
Claus. The moBt real things in tb
world are those that neither child
ren nor- men can see. Did you eve
see fairies dancing upon the lawn
Of course not; but that's no proo
that they are not there. Nobody cai
conceive or Imagine all the wonder
that aro unseen and unseeable li
the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattl
to see what makes the noise ineid<
but there ia a veli covering the un
seen world which not the strongei
man, nor even the united strength J
all the strongest men that ever llvet
could tear apart Only, faith, fane;
poetry, love, romance can push ssld
that curtain and view and picture th
supernal beauty and glory beyond. 1

WHY THIS AGITATION!
A rumor that will not down on tho
st roots of the city IH to the effect that
an effort will shortly he made to have
City Council enjoined from making
further payment on the contract en
tered into between the city of Ander
son and the Southern Public Utllltiea
Company, lt is also rumored that
there, ia an agreement among four of
the councilmen that the city will pay
the expenses of tho private citizen
who act8 as the cat's paw to pull out
the chestnuts of those memhers who
are unalterably opposed to the fran
chise. The rumor haa even gone BO
far as to say that the papers are now
being drawn and that in n few daya
an effort will be made to secure an
injunction. These may all be tumors,
but they are like Hamlet's ghost,
"They will not down."
Now, thia will te another conflict,
if auch steps are taken. It will mean
that tho City Council will try to do
by Indirection what they have failed
to do by direction, and the people ot
Anderson will not stand for this any
more than they would Btand for the
City Council's nnnulment of the con
tract made by a former Council. If
any citizen wishea to enter such ault,
let him bo prepared to pay bia own
expenses and the coats of auch liti
gation. The Intelligencer does not be
lieve that Council will undertake any
auch foolish thing aa to pay the ex
penses of thin ault. What right, if
you please, has the Southern Public
Utilities Company to pay for being
Bued? What right have thc great ma
jority of the citizens of Anderson who
are opposed to all this agitation, and
who are satisfied, both aa to the legal
ity and to the right -of the franchise
contract, to be made to pay a private
individual, who haa some personal
grievance, perchance, to enter sui)
against what they believe to be right'
It is utter nonsense, and wc put an>
such individual -on notice that he, 01
they, are laying up for themselves 1
burdensome suit, and one they wil
have to pay for Anally.
Why all thia agitation? It haa beer
demonstrated that the people are sat
hided on tho franchise matter, ant
that it la legal there ia abundant lav
to sustain, BO why thia continued agi
tation? Ia lt to drive capital a wa;
from Anderson? Thia will be the cf
feet If it is kept up longer. There ii
no demand for any action,, so far a
we can learn. The Intelligencer pub
liahed a number of interviewa of per
son8 In all walka of life, and the
were asked If they had heard of an
demand for the matter to be teated a
thia time. They all said they had hear
of no demand, and frankly, we ca
learn of no demand outside of a fei
pcraons who are constitutionally -
oot applied legally-opposed to it c
other progressive measures.
?LET THE li~EATHE?i~RAOE,"
Poor little Willie Hearst has ha
his force of hired brains to search tl
recorded words of George Waahini
ton for the language therein contait
ed which can moat easily be miacoi
atrued into something opposed to whi
President Wilson stands for. Mr. Wi
son is the latest and perhaps the be
biographer of George Waahlngto
and no doubt read all that the Hear
hired brains have discovered, and 1
has read lt with an understand!!
such as Mr. Hearst's millions mull
plied could not hiro ov prostitute.
After all these months of Mr. WI
son's administration, about the on
thing that the Hearst hired hunte
have been able to dis ?over in Was
tngton's writings, capable of bell
distorted In the usual Hearst way In
meaning something that Washlogti
never meant, ter -the fol to w tn g ' tone
lng "preparedness" for war, abo
, Whihh the Steel Trust and the Powd
Trust and their like are so much e
prcised. The quotation ls from Pre
dent Washington's message ; to Cc
gress In 1793, Just four years after t
United States of America had t
come, a nation, and when it waa
about the strength and dignity
one of the Central American ?epubll
of tho present time:
"There ls no rank due to the Unit
States among nations, which will
withheld, if not absolutely lost,
the reputation ot weakness. If we <
sire td avoid Insult, we must be al
to repel lt; if we desire to sect
peace, one of the most powerful
struments of our rising prosperity,
must be known that wa are at
times ready for war."
This ls the sentiment ot Wash Ii
ton which the Hearst papers say 1
Wilson opposes. Let us see.
The rank that Mr. Washington .<
e?ared waa "due to the United Stab
haa long since "./oca attained and 1
surpassed. Even Washington ne1
dreamed of a nation such as we hi
-of a nation aa strong and aolf-r<
ant, and particularly as self-contr<
ed, aa the United States is ta ll
The "reputation of weakness** tl
Mr, Washington feared was avok
because there were no Hearsts
those days to stir up, especia
abroad, the Idea that the Uni
sutes waa weak hy preach tag "1
preparedness" day attar day at vi
anea with the facts. If we acquire
reputation tor weakness'* in the tw
Goth century lt will he because ot
I
misinformation that thc Hearst papers
am! their kind have been purveying
to their readers, which contain a lar
ger proportion of gnorant and vic
ious men of the Czolgocz type than
the readers of any other newspapers
In the world.
"If wc desire to avoid insuit, we
must be able to repel it," says Wash
ington a century and a quarter ago.
It will be noted that he did not use
the term "avenge." To repel an In
sult is to prevent it. No insult was
ever "repelled" by force. The re
pelling of insults may he achieved
most effectively by avoiding an of
fensive, attitude toward -others, and by
avoiding braggadoclo--two things of
which the Hearst mind is apparently
incapable of conception. Rut the
United States under Woodrow Wilson
is less likely to have any insults to
repel or avenge than vere the head
of the nation a man whom Hearst
'would approve.
"If we desire to secure peace, oqe
of the most powerful instruments of
our rising prosperity, it must be
known that we are at all times ready
for war." says Washington. To those
worda, of course, Mr. Wilson holds
hearty assent, though he would prob
ably improve thc expression by ad
ding "if war is necessary." It has
been known of ail men that we are
ready for war if war is necessary, but
the vaporings of tho jingoes have pos
sibly lexi some wcakroinded folk to
believe that we are "unprepared." If
any foreign nation is fool enough to
bs so misled, and to undertake a hos
tile action against the United States
I because it believes the Hearst rot that
we ai e unprepared to take care of our
selves, the nation will have Mr.
Hearst and his kind to thank for an
other absurd and unnecessary war,
as they were responsible for that of
1898.
But "there is hope." The dignified
manner in which Mr. Wilson ignores
the. Jingoes is the surest way to get
them to go to extremes; and the way
to have a calf-or a Jackass-hang
himself is to give him plenty of rope.
The Jingoes are getting plenty of rope,
and there is hope that they will soon
make their own propaganda appear as
ridiculous as in fact lt ls.
YES? BUT WASN'T IT ANDERSON I
One of the Anderson newspapers
haa seen flt to rise up and rear all
over the York News because of the
recent editorial published in this pa
per under the caption -of "Prosecution
or Persecution." The editor of The In
telligenccr remarks that the article
must have been written about Ander
son and goes on with a lengthy de
fense of the ctiy for taking the bteps
it did in regard to the blind tiger
situation. It is truly remarkable that
the article "must" have referred to
Anderson. Of course Anderson ls the
only city of any sise or prominence
In th.* State and nainra?ly any editor
must stralgh-way be drawn and quar
tered or hung np by the heels and be
nibbled to death by young ducks If he
dared to write sn editorial about any
other city. He must hare Anderson in
mind; lt is not conceivable that he
could be thinking of Columbia or
Greenville or Spai tanburg.
No, Mr. Editor, everything you see
In the York News will not necessarily
refer to Anderson-even If lt is "My
Town."-York News.

Christmas.
By universal consent, Christmas is
;ho season of greatest joy. Whether it
Is the snowbound fishery ot Norway,
the boundless prairies of Russia, the
rine-covered hills of Italy, the manu
facturing centers of America or the
balmy Isles of the southern seas,
Christmas everywhere reigns supreme.
However great may be our poverty,
or severe our sufferings, or heavy our
burdens, Christmas comea to put .a
new smile into the heart and a nev
smile upon the ince ana remind us
that life may be filled with joy.
Heaven thought that earth might not
realise the greatness of ita possession,
so lt sent on angel host from the very
presence of the throne and whose vo
cation was to chant the anthems of
praise; to announce to men that they
were to receive a great joy. The mes- !
sage fell upon the ears ot humble
shepherds whose hearts so ached be
cause of the experiences of Ute tbSt
they hastened to the cradle where in
finite joy was born. A star gleamed
forth- tha good -newe 'lute--the--Par
East io BOOM wise mea? who mounted
their camels and came on their jour
uey to the manger; and when the
child was first b .ought into .the tem
ple an aged saint named Simeon look
ed upon his face and catight from him
the joy celestial and exclaimed lb rap
ture: Now leitest Thon Thy servant
depart In peace!"
We have many festivals, and each
baa Its special significance, but
Christmas ts the festival ot joy. There
sire great days which we observe in
memory of some great national event,
or when we think again of some great
heroic leader, or when we offer thanks
to Qed for the year's bounties, or when
we pause to adjust ourselves to the
dawn at o new y ear .but above all tow
ers, hristmas, ss t. brings to every
clime, nation, clsss, and Individual.
Its message of }ox
Richter says that joys are our
wings. Can we estimate the lose to the
world if Christmas did not bring to us
these wings by which things soar to
higher sud nobler things In v?iaracter
sud servicer Take Christmas from the
calendar and at once man sinks into
the slough ot despond ; he becomes the
slave ot his appetite and passions;
als Ute will be nothing more than a
gloomy prison boase, and be will be
the creature of bis blind late that
leads hun ever oa Into uncertainty.
But since Christmas is here man'can
Utune his heart to the note of joy.
To the nations of the world this joy
amy come through the message of
peace and good will. This means the
tad of war end ot bloodshed. Ci ?ll
lbs practices among men none Ss so
rooltsh aa war. It is especially unjusti
fiable in thU day ot splendid civili
sation. Looking at the past we know
thai questions decided by the greatest
Exhibition of force were very often
sot decided justly.
There ls no conscience or justice in
the conclusion gamed by a superior
le's Letter

I war ls necessary at certain periods j

A little poem in one of our news
