A SANE NEW YEARS

The Sane Fourth OF july" movement
has attained proportions that are ma
tion.wide and 1t Is a matter OF only a
comparatively short time when the
%country's greatest festival of patriot
ism will be generally observed in a
manne befitting its underlying pur-
pose. Another sane" movement
which has been launched, is that haV-
ing for its object the proper celebra-
ton of the advent Of the new year.
The movement has begun In New
York City, where the ushering in OF
the new year has customarily been
an orgy OF noise beyond all reason.
There is no sane excuse for wei
coming" the arrival OF the new year
with a hideous racket any more tina
for greeting it with funeral gloom.
No very potent reason is apparent
for going out of ones way to cele-
brate the event in any extravagant
manner. The arrival of a new year
marks the attainment Of another
milestone i'm the history OF the world
in general and of each individual in
particular. BY common consent 1t Is
~signalized by a sort of setting of each
house i'm order-after it has been
turned topsy-turvy by a period or hi
larity. 1t is a seaso when people
wipe the slate clean and start afresh,
making well meant but inadvertently
Kept resolutions to do better during
the dawning year than during the one
lust closed. New Years Is a time
for optimism, for hoping that no mat
ter how happy we're conditions during
the old year the new one will nave
even greater good fortune in store.
This spirit represents a fundamental
tendency and instinct Of human ma
ture, but there is no special reason
for getting excited over it and none
whatever for making it the occasion
Of a debauch.
If the unseemly noises which now
attend the birth of the new year in
the big cities are successfully sup
pressed, or reduced to q minimum,
the next logical step will be the elm
ination of the orgy of gluttony and
wine-bibbing which is supposed to be
the most proper way of extending the
glad hand" to the newcomer. Mil.
lions of dollars are worse than vast.
ed. taking the country as a whole, in
this selfish and harmful Indulgence
money which would do untold good
If diverted to other channels. The
same spirit which makes Christmas
a time for kindness and generosity
will logically make New Years the
occasion for inaugurating a new era
of happiness for those who are unfor-
tunate, rather than for squandering
millions on feasts and drinking bouts.
1t is not necessary to put on sack.
cloth and ashes in order to greet the
new year properly; neither are those
who r possessed of ample means
expected to sell all their goods" and
give the proceeds to the poor. But
the evolution Of human goodness
must in time bridge over the deplor.
ably wide chasmi between dire power.
ty and wallowing Indulgence.

THE NEW DAWN OF LABOR.

LABOR, weep! These dead are thine,
B~rokenlimbed and torn and MANNED.
What of creed that's thine or mine?
I Silenced now, we stand ashamed.
How now do these dead arise.
Mocking us! Are these but lies
Told of Labors Brotherhood? 81
How these ghosts of dead intrude
In our every solitude,
Crying shame! For they were one
One with US from sun to sun;
One in dreams Of labor done;
One in hope and one in need; a
One in manhood, aye, and creed.
How these bodies bleed and bleed!
Stands aghast thy shuddering line.
Labor, weep! These dead are thine.
Labor, see what Hate hath done
Hate, a follower of thy camp,
Skulking near thy lines! That one
Slew these tolers. See the damp
On these bloody brOws, where sweat
OF their labor beaded yet.
Death done in the dark, and, 10! f4
Hate hath slain no single foe,
But, like Cain, hath wrought this woe Y"
In his brothers house, and laid
On anhungered orphans made.
Burdens that strong fathers prayed
They might long be strong to bear
Ere the fatherless must share.
Now are. helpless dead heaped there.
What foul victory death has won!
Labor, see what Hate hath done!
Labor, wake! Now shalt thou cleanse
These four affairs where they pray
These that kill; and scourge them thence-
Labor, tbs the breaking day
OF the time to be when each
Shall be free, with hand and speech.
Labor, since thou art so strong,
One with Might and Power, not long
Wilt thou battle wrong with wrong.
Brotherhood need not be vain. &,
These be branded red, like Cain,
Who shall STAY, as. Hate hath slain.
Right shall, be thy sword, bright-steeled;
Aye, and Justice be thy shield.
Thou shalt meet no foes but yield.
See. the night of Hate is gone. +.t
Labor, wake! 1t is the dawn!
