HE BEST NEW YEAR RESOLUTION
 YOU GAN MAKE

So leaving the old year behind IS, let us take couGel' together and make d new Years resolu- ion, and that is. that next year we will be happy.
 You know 1t was once taught and believed that 1t was not quite the thing for good people to be happy; that was left for the vorldly-minded a n d frivolous. Happily, that old idea is losing ground and goodness and happi- ness are not thought to be so h. compatible. In fact, my motto $, "To be good is to be happy, md it reads almost as we'll the other way. To be happy is to be good.
 And the thought 1 would like 70 impress you if could, Is to realize your happiness. It is lere now, all around you, but you must strealize it before it can do you any good. And you have no idea how 1t will smooth things out all along the way when you
  begin to do this. The work will go easier, the world will look brighter to you, and your health will even be better. Perhaps you do not believe this, but it is true nevertheless. Solomon said; A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.
 So let us resolve to be happy this New Year, and to find our happiness a day at time. Think every morning when youf wake up, I'm going to be happy today no matter what happens, and be fore you go to sleep at night think over all the pleasant things that have happened during the day, and forget the unpleasant ones as much as possible. After awhile you will find your yourself worrying less than usual, and happiness becoming a fixed habit and when this season comes a year from now you will have

Washington, May l5. The supreme

this action was taken at the Balti-

From time to time there have accu

Councillor Moore Is to Fully Pre-

of President Wilson and His Cab
met.

Washington, May 10 Gov John
sons decision to sign the California
alien land bill despite Japans protest
was mofncially communicated today
to Ambassador Chinda, with the I'M
derstanding that Secretary Bryan
may later present Gov. Johnson's an
swcr officially with such comment
as he may wish to make in behalf of
the United States.
When the ambassador has received
Secretary Bryan's formal communica-
tion, he will communicate it to his
foreign office and receive instruc-
lions for preparing his reioinder.
interest has been excited by Gov.
lohnson's quotation OF that part OF
the California law which appears to
limit his action SO far as it recogniz-
es japanese rights to the existing
treaty OF 1911, and there is some
I speculation as to whether that was
/ intended to foreshadow a refusal Oh
the part of the California authorities
to be bound by stipnlations of any
treaty that may hereafter be nego
tiated between the United Nates and
Japan that would appear be in
conflict with the proyision4 Of the
! new law.
Officials here fail to discover any
other point net suggested to Secre
tary Bryan when ne was in Sacra

Of reference to the fact that the pres
ent state constitution in terms sane
tions and even requires the enact
ment of such legislation as the WEBB
act.
The fact that though Announcing
his intention to sign the act, Gov
johnson has not actually affixed hi
signature, is regarded here as an ac
of courtesy, intended to hoid tn
door open to a last word from

BRUNSWICK LEADS THE FIGHT
Plan of president Taft to Consolidate
Offices in States into One District
Meeting With General Protests
over the Country.

According to reliable information
recently received from Washington by
various cities interested, it is hardly
probable that the new customs plan,
as arranged by President Taft Just
before he went out Of office. will
ever be put into effect but the entire
Service win remain as it is at pres
ent
As is well known, just a few days
before the expfr@ion Of his term
President Taft passed orders for a
general reorganization of the entire
customs service. dividing the country
up into districts with only about one
collector of customs in each state,
al of the other ports to have only
deputy collectors. Under this new
rule savannah was made the head
quarters for the Georgia district, and
consequently Brunswick and other
ports would have only deputy collec-
tors and everything would be under
the Savannah office
A general fight, however, has been
made on the new order OF things and
the Brunswick Board of Trade has
been a leader in the fight, Letters
were sent oat by the local commercial
body to practically all ports in the
country effected by the new rule, and
these ports were urged to at once get
into eommunA Aation with their repre-,
sentative in Washington and urge
them to strongly oppose the inau
guration of the new rule.
AS a result letters have been pour
ing into Washington from many OF
the ports of the country protesting
against the prog .ied change, and
many prominent D5 ocratic senators
and congressman Rave interested
themselves in the matter and will op
pose the change as outlined by Pres
ident Taft
Brunswick. of course, is vitally in
terested in the matter insomuch that
If the new rule becomes effective
this city will lose its collector OF Gus
toms and the local office will be plac
ed in charge Ct a deputy. 1t is being
claimed that the proposed change by
the republicans was merely a politi
cal scheme to keep hundreds of Dem
ccrats out of office for the next foui
years. as all Republican collectors o
customs VIII be succeeded by Demo
Gratis as soon as their terms expire.
