THE BROKEN
RESOLUTIONS
By Chas. Grant Miller.

And so, after week or two, have
your New Year resolutions with
cred and gone?
Have you already neglected the
nice, new diary? Have you gone
back to smoking, or drinking, or
saying spiteful things, after a few
days of martyrdom?
Well, well; you are not the only
one.
He or she who fails to carry out
all high resolutions has the COM
fort of lots Of company.
There are people who say that
good resolutions are bad because
failure in them reveals to one his
own weaknesses and slavery to
habit; that having once failed he
is less likely ever to try again
with the hope and confidence so
necessary to success.
But isn't 1t better for us to know
our weaknesses than to be blind
to them? Isn't it better to have
tried once and failed than never
to have tried at all? Strength
comes of effort.
Isn't it better for a man to have
had week, or a day even, of So
briefly for himself and of happiness
and hope for his wife and children,
to have had a clear-brained look
at himself and the world about him
and to have known for little
while at least how it feels to be a
man and master of himself?
One battle does not always de-
eide campaign. One failure, one
reverse, or a dozen of them, need
not mean defeat.
There is no need of waiting till
next New Year to try again. A
good resolution and good efforts
are as good one day as another.
They are best of all when made
every day.
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 orld ends. Years, centuries,
ages are nothing to us but names;
it Is the days, hours, minutes, Sec
onds, that are ours.
The best time to try to get up
is when you realize that you have
fallen.

WHAT HAS THE UNITED STATES TO
DO WITH MOROCCO CONFERENCE?

What has the United States to
do with the conference over Moroc-
co?
It's a query that the results of
the conference itself will have to
answer. But it comes as a sur
prise to the great majority of Am
orleans that the United States is
taking any part at all in what
looks like a big game of politics
between the forever quarreling
powers of Europe.
The conference is in session
at Algeciras, Spain, and we are told
simply that Ambassador White, at
the court of Italy, and Samuel Gum
mers, minister of Morocco, will sit
for this country with the represent
atives of Germany, France, Eng
land, Austria, Spain and Italy.
The ostensible purpose of the
conference is to arrive at an agree
ment for absolute commercial
equality of the powers in Morocco.
American commerce in that semi
civilized land is next to nothing.
No intelligent reader of the
worlds news, however, will be gull
ed by the story that the meeting is

to be a trade talk-talk. Politics
almost solely is behind the confer
ence, and the control of northwest
ern Africa and of the Mediterran-
can sea is the apple the European
governments are ducking for.
When England upon the occa-
sion of King Edwards goodfeeling
visit to France agreed to give the
Franks a free hand in Morocco such
as she herself has in Egypt, she
raised that very issue. These two
powers, with the consent of Spain
and apparently also with the con-
nivance of Italy, arrogated the
right to dispose of an extensive
realm known to have vast natural
resources and occupying a position
of signal strategic value, command
ing as it does the western entrance
to the Mediterranean. 1t is not
surprising that Emperor William
should have resented the assump,
ton that he and his Austrian ally
did not need to be consulted in the
matter.
