TRIUMPHs OF A YEAR.

The year 1909, now drawing to a
close, has been a year Of peace and
Of progress.
Nations have not been arrayed against
each other in conflict Of arms. On the
contrary, the world powers have been
striving for universal peace, which
shall endure throughout all future ages.
In the field Of science, inventions and
discoveries have multiplied. The winds
have been brought into subsection. At
last, we have the flying machine, and
navigation in air is no longer a dream
Of dreamers, but is a reality. Wireless
telegraphy has been brought nearer to
perfection, and by it the voice Of the
seafaring man, rising above winds and
waves, reaches the shore, and brings
rescuers to the storm tossed vessel.
The domain Of discovery has been
enlarged The visions and hopes Of
centuries have been realized in the
finding Of the north Pole, and the plant
ing there Of the flag Of freedom.
The year has had some defeats and
disappointments, but progress marks
every month and every week Of the
time that is gone.
The fields Of religion and philanthropy
have broadened. Christians Of various
communions, more than ever, under
stand that love Of God implies love
for fellowmen, and vie with each other
in deeds Of charity.
In political affairs, both at home and
abroad, mighty conflicts have arisen.
insurgency against wrong and oppres-
sion has gained a firm foothold.
In Great Britain notice has been
served on the upper house Of parliament
that the common people have rights
which lords, temporal and spiritual,
are bound to respect and that wrongs
which have been borne for years will no
longer be tolerated.
In our own country, party ranks are
broken. Sefishness and trickery, in
and out Of congress, have had their in
nings; but a day Of reckoning is at
hand. While an unjust and oppressive
tariff bill was passed by the last con
gress, and made law by the signature Of
the President, the people are determined
that they will not stand for it. Protests
have reached the ears Of the law makers
in Washington; and these protests are
not only from the middle west and west,
but from east, north and south as well
And herein are signs of progress, and
hope of securing legislation in the in
terests Of the whole people
Altogether, there is much in the year
that is nearly closed for which to thank
God, and give us courage for the tasks
and duties Of 1910.

GOV. ARDS REPLY.
Recently the Democrat criticised the
editor of the jefferson County Union
for making light of the use Of money in
the Wisconsin senatorial election of last
year In the Milwaukee Free Press of
Monday last appears Governor Hoard's
reply. Two opening sentences are:
"SoftIy, my dear fellow. Governor
Hoard never attempted to justify wrong
doing anywhere, and you know it. -
Gov, Hoard, you can not Justify the
use Of over 100000 by candidate for
public office; and every right minded
citizen knows it. You have Il bad case.
1t needs no further argument to convict
before the people men proven guilty Of
missusing money in elections. There
is, however, one sentence in your reply
which deserves notice. In it you follow
a practice which is by far too common.
This is the sentence:
IF Stephenson was guilty in what he
spent, then Hatton, Cook, and Nc
Govern We're guilty up to the amount
they spent.
This is very much like saying You re
another" The Democrat never held Il
brief for any of the candidates named
No man can justify his sins by another
mans shortcomings The true test Is
whether he does that which is right.
