THE OLD AND THE NEW.

n n THE STROKE OF LAST MIDNIGHT the
good year 1901 gathered to his fathers in
lines vast catacombs. A year ago today we
welcomed with extended this herald of the twen-
tieth century. We could not then foresee what he
would bring to of prosperity of love, of light Of
laughter. We only knew he marked the closing of one
chamber IN the halls of eternity the opening of an
other Now sit we down calmly to review the dead
years work.
To many actors in ifes play the setting of the first
milestone IN the centurys progress bears close sim-
tude to the placing of monument above the grave of
ruined hopes During the years progress from infancy
to maturity these marked perhaps the raising of
mound In quiet bUrying ground; perhaps their
business, bright and promising, ravaged by the
wolf Of bankruptcy Such cases there were during the
year, such cases must there be in every year.
Happily, however, they arr far from numerous
The vast majority of Americans, of Utah and Salt
Lake citizens may look upon the dead year as upon
faithful servant, gone to his reward Nineteen hun
dred and one was oper handed, generous. The re-
wards OF lakor both Of mind and of body were COM
plete and ample. Particularly is this true of Utah.
where al classes of business hoUrshed as never before
The successes were so much numerous than
the wrecks prosperity much more in evidence
than penuy chat even the carping critic here at home
can but stand speechless. May 1t not be said of the
old year. In the words of ST. Luke that 'He did good
and gave US rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons
filling our hearts with food and gladness" Utah as
suredy has to be thankful for the old years
blessings; she has to look forward without fear
to the possibilities of the new.
So far as the human mind can foresee the second
year OF the twentieth century, the infant old Father
lime left on the worlds doorstep last night will grow
1Ato lusty, vigorous manhood. He Will distribute
lavishy from his store gifts good for all of us accord
ing to our need and willingness to work for them And
when full of days. he is gathered his fathers may he
deserve the same benedicton which grateful world
hestows upon his predecessor.
The new year VII be largely what we make it.
Plenty will not to the who does not seek it.
The world was when it written "In the sweat
of thy face shalt thou eat bread" Nineteen hundred
and two will furnish exception to the rule but it
will be full of opportunities for those who make and
take them This day is sacred to good resolutions, to
pledges for better performance of the duties under
our hands.
Nobody is ever hurt by the making of & good reso-
luton; is the breaking that degrades. Let US all
resolve to do our very best in whatever station we NAV
be placed and if follow that strictly to the years
end there's little doubt but that it viii find us better
placed than the years beginning.
The Herald, 1t is needless to add, wishes all It's |
readers and all to whom these presents may come the
happiest of New Years.

SECRETARY CAGES OPPORTUNITY.

HE STATEMENT made by Secretary Gage thar

lnyldlous remarks when the attempt was made
to sell the old mint building in Philadelphia and who
was called har by the secretary, has brought on some
dolngs. The individual turns out to be no less Der

DEwEr WON'T PLAY FAIR.

II HAT BCER GENERAL, DE WET, Is a most IN
gentlernalily sort of chap. During the year that
ended yesterday he captured less than
half dozen times and was killed on at least round
dozen occasions At least this is what the English
public asked to believe by lis generals at the front
But De Wet isn't playing fairly. He refuses to stay
captured he refuses to stay killed
He has another most annoying, deucedly I'M
pleasant habit The silly abs" to the English of
it. is always bobing around IN the middle Of the night
waking up British garrsons, capturing and killing
them He hasn't the first principles of gentleman or
he would allow the British capture him and send
him to England. He would at least allow Lord Kitch-
ener to take his morning tub in peace, We know.
Here few days ago Colonel Firmans camp at
Tweenfontei in the eastern part of the Orange River
colony was trying to forget that such a as De Wet
existed. The officers and had laid themselves down
to peaceful sun.bers when suddenly of the night
came De Wet with few hundred burghefs at his heels
Kitchener might never have known what happened
next if two of Firman's soldiers hadn't acct
dentally gotten away to tell him. So there was an
other case. of Il regret to report"

THE POINT OF VIEW.

! 4 GOOD DEAL seems to depend on the point of
n view, or rather the reason for the inquiry so
lar as the war department aud the Philippines
are concerned As far back as the 1900 campaign Re-
publican speakers went about the country declaring
that the end of hOstites in the Philippine archipelago
had been reached. "Of course they said tbere NAV
be few bands of robbers and outlaws but they don't
Democrats say"
Many misguided people believed the orators Ther
read every now and then story of the wpag out of
little garrison of American soldiers; they saw from
time to time that the "robber bands" had masacred
score or of Americans in blue but thev reasoned
themselves into believing that such things could hap
pen IN any country. How great, then, must be their
horror at Secretary Roots declaration that there is
war in the Philippines.
his exact words are 'The instruction in the
philippines against the sovereignty of the United
States and the authority of the government Of The
Pmhppme islands Is of such character and extent
as requires the United States TO prosecute It's rights
by military force and therefore creates the condition
OF war III said archipelago" The occasion for Mr.
Roots statementwas g claim made by Lieutenant H. w
oucde for $125.34, the value of some private books
lost IN transit between West Point and Manila
The books were on the transport Centennial which
went aground the northern shore of Luzon It be-
came necessary TO throw part of the cargo overheard
and the books were included. Now there rs provision
IN the federal statutes which provides for the rein1
oursement OF officers IN such cases except when the
loss occurs IN time of hostilities with Indians
he amount OF money involved is sufficiently large
TO make evasion necessary and therefore Secretary
boot cannot be charged with telling the truth in order
to avoid treasury raid
We cannot help wondering, however what course
ne would have taken had he been compelled to pass on
the Sickle claim during the presidential campaign.
For political purposes the war in tho Philippines was
over then For business purposes it is not over now
The decision of the SECRETARY puts lot of grand old
party speakers IN a mighty bad light.
In some countries he would Immediately receive
host OF challenges from gentlemen whose honor he
has lmpugned. He certainly has made them out as I
Fob6ers on the hair line of absolute veraciy. And.

President. Roosevelt's cordial. indorse-
ment Of the policy Of providing irri-
cation for the arid regions OF the coun-

economically maintained, has had the
effect of bringing the issue into the do

under discussion long time and sew
eral tentative measures have been en-
acted by congress for dealing with it.
The prospects are that It may now
soon be taken up in a comprehensive

Macbeth" by Modjeska and James
must therefore prove a superb per-
+ formance, and the small audience that
witnessed il last night was certainly
OF that conviction. An actress of such
rare traits as Helen MOdjeska is so
magnetic in any role that It is difficult
indeed to say which is her best. But
certainly her Lady Macbeth must be
near the limit of human possibilities.
But little matter what the role, Mod
jeska is source of continual wonder.
Mr.. James is a great Macbeth. Voice.
physique, energy and force are all in
his favor, but aside from the mans
natural requirements there is the fine
~ cultivated art. less subtle than Mod
JeSka's. but true ART, and before such
a combination even the hypercritical
must bow in admiration.
Mr.. Hackett was the Macduff last
night, and an earnest fOrceful inter
probation it was. The young actor is
at his best in the scene wherein he
learns of the slaughter of his wife and
babes. The minor parts are fairly well
sustained, especially in the instance OF
Mr.. Cookies Malcolm, but how griev-
Gus it is that Shakespeare and supers
are disintegrable! Some day we shall
hope to see a performance of mac
