Happy New Year.

A happy New Year to all to NOR
row. AS Dickens says, "Come,
boys, this is a new half" Throw
away the old blotted, marred rec
ords; let the old scores 60; take q
clean page and fresh start.
All great movements have had
their beginnings in the mind of
some one individual who had the
courage of his convictions. All re-
forms that do not commence with
the individual are founded in error.
Just as each person becomes better,
places highed ideas before himself
and strives more earnestly to make
the world a little better, the CON-
muuity is lifted, by these aspira.
tions. 1t is useless to mourn for b" the
beautiful years We once let CO." We
must be content to take the coming
years and make them even more
beautiful in deeds of courage, love
and mercy.
1t is the fashion to laugh at the
good resolutions that are in vogue
at this season Of the year, but who
is it that does not form them in
thought at least. Who can be 80
contented with the past that be
does not wish better things for the
futures 1t is better to resolve and
re-resolve than to 60 on from day to
day without a thought or desire
that is not of the earth, earthly.
In the new year there is a mine
of joy, friends and success for those
who are looking for these things.
To win them it is only necessary to
"wish it in your heart that every
day is the best day in the year."

Demagogy is one of the greatest
dangers of the times. An appeal to
prejudice is always more potent than
an appeal to the reason. When pre-
JUDGE is substituted for reason the
demagogue becomes the man of
power, and that moment danger
threatens the government.

from riding a horse in the way a
