Here was a roval SCOOP How delighted
his old chief would be to get hold of such
stirring story Seeing that the hands Of the
clock above his head on the wall pointed to
twelve-forty, and realizing that all morning
papers would go to press soon, he madly
called up his old offices and told the editor
that he was on his way up with one OF the
greatest scoops IN years.
Then he entered upon one OF those stirring
races against time which can be shown so
effectively through the medium OF the NOV

mad rush. Then are shown gllmpses OF the
pressrooras of the paper, where the men
are feverishlv waiting round the big ma
chimes. ready to turn on power and grind out
the enormous editions Next the editorial
rooms with editors and reporters standing
excitedly IN little groups, each man looking
at his watch and all wondering whether
Hendrickson would get to the office on time
OF course Fate smiled kindly upon TIE
Young man. and lust as the managing editor
had lost all patience and was about TO issue
orders TO release the last form TO the presses,
in plunged Hendrickson, his lat gone, his
collar up and around his ears, his clothes

" War has just returned
from the Philippines by
way of Asia and Europe,
bringing the somewhat trite
information that our Malayan
acquisition from Spain is not
fit for self-government. Well,
what country ever was fit?
The real difference is that the
Philippines are less fit, or least
fit. 1t is a positive benedic-
tion to some countries like
India, Egypt and the Philip
pines to be governed by an
Anglo Saxon people. All chill
dren need guidance and con-
troll, and these peoples are

reHcCtlOn. nc Past NlOWuo
upon US at such a time with
far more than usual intensity,
and especially forces upon our
attention our faults, failures
and mistakes. Let US look
them squarely in the face and
profit by them. The wise man
always does this, but the fool
never. The latter goes on
committing the same follles
and making the same mis-
takes, never prohting by his
experience, to say nothing OF
the experience of others. Ev-
ery man makes mistakes. 1t
may not be his fault the first
time, but it is if he makes the
same mistakes a second time.
We believe that the secret OF
success with those who succeed
and the cause of failure with
those who fail will be found
largely in the ability and dis
position to study the causes
of both success and failure,
not only in ope's own expert
ence but in that of others.
The former now has leisure
to review the operations of the
year, and he should do it can
didly and critically. Make a
complete analysis of every i'm
portant operation. Find the
weak places in it and trace
them to their origin. Nothing
will prepare one so thoroughly
for the operations of the year
to come as this kind of search
ing investigation.
And while we are about this
business we should look just
as carefully into our record of
moral responsibility. We
should be far more anxious to
improve character, mind and
morals than to improve our
furms. Serious study of our
weak points and of means to
strengthen them is a very
profitable business at any
time, and if pursued assidu-
ously will strengthen and de-
velop all that is good and ad-
mirable in our natures, and
make us better, stronger, no
bier men and women as the
years 60 by. And the time
will come in the life of every
one when such a record OF
honest, earnest, persistent ef-
fort to improve will afford far
greater satisfaction than any
thing else in his account with
this world. We can wish no
better thing for all our read
ers than that they begin the
new year animated by a firm
resolve to turn all its expert
ence into profit for themselves,
mentally, morally, socially and
materially, and then to faith
fully carry out the resolution.
New Years is a grand and
inspiring occasion, for it is al
ways saturated with hope. We
are wont to scoff at and deride
it as a day when men make
good resolutions only to break
them; when they turn over
new leaves, as it is called,
merely to turn them back
again. They want, they hope
