The Latest Message

The President sent another mes.
sage to Congress yesterday.
Just how many messages he has
sent to Congress, there are no stats
tics at hand to prove. Just how
many messages he will yet send to
Congress, there are no prophets
with nerve to foretell. Other Pres
idents have been accustomed to send
messages to Congress at the begin
ming of each regular session and
rarely on extraordinary special oc.
casions thereafter. This one sends
messages to Congress not only at
the beginning of the regular ses-
sions, and on extraordinary special
occasions, but on every occasion
and no occasion. Moreover, i'll ad.
ditiOn to his messages to Congress
he is almost necessarily sending
messages to everybody else and
everything else, in the form of let,
ters, essays, statements, speeches,
etc, etc. Thus it is that his de.
liverances have become almost as
regular feature of the daily paper
as the market reports, though with
less pith and moment for many peo-
pie. 1t has long since become a
matter of general Indifference as to
what these outgivlngs contain, and
even the newspapers which were
never known to fail in state COM
ment on the messages of other
Presidents now content themselves
with printing the documents, or
summaries of them, ''next to read
ing matter" and turning their
editorial attention to other consid-
erations
The truth is that the President
has said so much, said it so often
and said 1t about so many things,
that his audiences are nodding or
slipping out of hearing, while the
! politicians are even more careless of
MS opinions, admonitions and de-
mands, coming as they do from a
President who is now at the end
rather than the beginning of his
official power.
The Courier-Journal accordingly
sees no reason tor further present
comment on the Presidents latest
than to say that it contains some
good, some bad and a great deal

Another year is drawing to
close. Another milestone of life Is
in view and we shall, in all human
probability, pass it and struggle on
to the next As we sit at our desk
and pen this short epistle to the
young, we wonder if anything we
may write will cause them to think
more seriously of all life means to
them and the brief period that is
given them to improve it. The boy
makes the man, the girl the woman.
My boy, how do you want to be
remembered by the people after you
are gone, as a Lincoln or a Booth?
My girl, what position do you wish
to occupy in the hearts of the peo-
pie with whom you have lived?
You are the moulders of your own
destinies. You can make them
what you will. 1t rests with you
whether your name shall go down
in history honored or cursed, or
whether 1t shall pass into oblivion
as soon as the earth has hidden your
mortal remains. Now is the time to
choose. There are only two roads
to travel; one leads to happiness and
honor, the other to sorrow or de-
gredation. We suppose you want
to travel the first mentioned. Are
you doing it? As the apprentice
works at his task and each succeed
ing day turns out work more perfect
than on the preceding one, so
should we make each succeeding
year Of or lives more perfect. Are
we doing this? Do we take time
during the hurry and hustle of the
holiday season to review our work
of the year and see wherein we have
made mistakes, jotting them down
in our memory as TO be avoided in
the future? That boy would never
have become perfect workman if
he did not avoid the mistakes of
yesterday. We must never make
the same mistake twice, and in order
to guard against doing so, we must
look back and find the mistakes we
have made. Will you do this, boys
and girls? Will you rest from your
play and jollity for just a little sea

Christmas is really the worlds
festival-every tribe and people
upon the earth's surface observe it
in some form. The forms may
vary but the spirit is everywhere
the same. The different nations of
the world celebrate the virtues and
illustrious deeds Of their great men
and we on this side of the water do
the same when we celebrate the
birth of Washington in February,
or the birth of the nation in July,
but in December the world cele-
brates an event which far surpasses
the birthday of Washington, or
Wellington, or Napoleon, or Alex
ander the Great, or even the birth
of the worlds redeemer, who was
given as an atonement for sin.

The great event in every young
mans life is his awakening. There
comes a time when he's aroused
from the dreamy carelessness of
boyhood by the opening possibili-
ties of life. If he then drops into
indifference and begins life in an
easy, shiftless way, he fritters away
his chances. If he comes to a deep,
earnest purpose to be his best and
do his best, he arrives early at the
highest rank among equals in busi
ness, profession or trade.' Enthusi-
asm leads him to attempt the seem
ingly impossible. Energy will
achieve the marvellous. Effort will
seize transcendent leadership in the
chosen sphere. These forces in
youth look forward, while age looks
backward. They make youth radi-
cally venturesome, while age be.
comes conServatively cautious.
Youth may make mistakes, but is
doing something. Age less active,
may be less mistaken. 1t is well
for enthusiasm and energy to be
guarded by experience but not to be
paralyzed by fear.
