Rebuilding of County Bridges.

Governor PeDnypacke Ter has made the
following suggestions with regard to
the rebuilding of county bridges in
his biennial message to the Legisla'
ura.
With the respect to the rebuilding
of county bridges. l recommend that
the amount to be expended each year
for this purpose be fIed at such a
figure as may seem to the Legislature
TO be wise. Under the law, as it ex-
lists at present, there Is no limitation
TO the sum which the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings may be requir-
ed to expend in this way and at time
OF the coincidence Of great floods aud
diminished revenues, the situation
might lead to serious embarrassment.
II certain proportion of the cost of
construction of these bridges were left
20 the counties instead of the whole
burden being imposed upon the State,
they would have a substantial inter
est, not only in making effort to save
the bridges from destruction. but also
in the preservation of such of the ma
tsrial as could be utilized.

Broken Resolutions.

And now, after week or so, have
your New Year resolutions withered? :?
Have you already neglected the nice
new diary? Have you gone back to
smoking after a few days of martyr
dom? Are you up against the booze
once more?
Well, you are not the only one.
The man who fails in his high res
olutions has lors of company.
There are people who say that good
resolutions are bad because failure in
them reveals to one his own weak
nesses and slavery to habit; having
once failed, he is less likely ever to
try again with the hope and confidence
so necessary to success.
But isn't it better to know your
weak knesses than to be blind to them.
Diagnosis precedes cure.
Isn't it uetter to have tried once and
failed than never to have tried at all ?
Strength comes of effort.
Isn't it better to have had a week
or day even-of sobriety for your
self and of happiness and hope for your
wife and children, to have had a clear
Drained look at youself and the world
about you, and to have known for a
little while at least how it feels to be
man and master of yourself?
One battle does not decide a cam
paign. One failure, one reverse, or a
dozen of them need not mean defeat.
There is no need of waiting unit |
next year to try again. A good resolu-
tion and good efforts are as good on
one day as another. They are best Of
all when made every day.
Having failed, there is no need to
drag out whole year in helpless and
vain regrets. There is nothing magical
about the beginning of the year or the
ending of it. The only psychological
moment for throwing off the thraldom
of an injurious habit is the moment
when you have the courage to try.
Years are big spaces. We live by
days. Every morning when we wake
a new world begins; every night when
we drop to sleep the old world dies.
Years, centuries, are nothing to US but
names; it is the days, hours, minutes,
seconds, that our ours.
| The great events of world history
{ have not waited upon arbitrary mea-
surements of time, nor need the affairs
of any mans life.
The best time to try to get up is
when you realize that you have fal-
len. Yearly efforts may fall forever,
while daily efforts may soon succeed.
