ease are TO the physician, the one
ser wing for an understanding OF dis

places where disease is most prevail
ent and against the particuIay dis
ease most responsible for the COM

ttration of Vital Statistics, and.
WHEREAS, Vital Statistics, in fur
nishing the known crude and special
eaths rates. annual number of deaths
per thousand population) supply e

opement of an efficient system of pub

WHEREAS, There are many other
strong reasons of legal nature, such

schools and certain Industries, rights
to insurance, suffrage privileges, mar

There are positive ways in which
the seeker may find happiness Hap
piness comes not so much from the
possessions as from the within" of
the life 1t is not what we are rather
than what we have. With a clear
conscience, a pure heart and a sense
of duty well done and happiness is
assured. Happiness is also found in
making others happy-in doing good.
The less that there is of selfishness,
the more there is of happiness. Self
ish people, that is self-centered peo-
pie are ever seeking and seldom ind
ing happiness. Unselfish people are
continually finding happiness without
the trouble of seeking it. It is OBJ
tanned indirectly. Try. the rule Of
giving away in order to become rich.

are powerless to help themselves.
There ought to be better factory san
itation, extension of the workmen's
compensation principle to include in

Much unhappiness could be avoided
if wrong doing were not permitted.
Some people strive to find happiness
liz wrong doing and disappointment
results. Then they become sullen,
morose and wretched If your life is
unhappy it is pertinent to inquire
what have you been doing and. how
have you been spending your life?
What sin, committed during the days
has spirit which comes to you in the
evening and glares at you with eyes
that never slumber and thus dis
turbs the quiet restfuIness of your
life? Very often it is sin that makes
life burden and gives an unhappy
soul.

today. The present may be we'll
enough, but there is disposition to
peer into the future and imagine fear
full events as coming to pass. 1t is
fret, fret, fret all the time, and not be-
cause of actual but rather concerniDg
anticipated trouble. The man who
worries over imaginary evils is like
unto the railway engineer fearful of
the shadows on the track in the moon
light If you would have q happy
new year, cease borrowing trouble
it will be time to cross the bridge
when you have reached the stream.

MOSTLY CONTEMPLATIyE.

Happy New Year! The very atmos-
phere is tremulous with the holiday
greetings For the past ten days the
homes have been garlanded with holly
and mistletoe but the greetings OF
friends have proven a richer gar
land to the heart. The words
Happy New Year-have been
written and spoken and yet it is an
unfortunate fact that very many peo-
PIE are not happy. Why? For a gen
eral nswer paraphase Shakespeare
and reply: Some are born unhappy
some achieve unhappiness, others
have unhappiness thrust upon them

Some are born unhappy copstitu-
tionally miserable Unfortunate con-
dition and yet a recognized fact.
Some are the victims of circum-
stances and it appears that they are
unable to change them. They are the
class that seems to have unhappiness
thrust upon them But the vast ma
jority of unhappy people belong to the
class who achieve unhappiness. They
bring it,upon themselves and are alone
responsible for, their wretchedness.
It is the work of their own doing, and
while there are causes for the condi-
tons that exist. it is possible in many
instances to avoid those, causes.

Happiness during the year. Nineteen
Thirteen can be achieved with indivi-
dual effort Much unhappiness is the
result of constituencies and exagge-
rated egotism No one enjoys having
their own thoughts of themselves
self vastly more important than he
really is. Oftentimes he gets an idea
that he is not appreciated and this
brings unhappiness to him. Then he
snarls and frets. Those about him
are made as uncomfortable as possi-
ble Se1f-conceit is at the bottom OF
much unhappiness.

ANOTHER HITCH y GMN1E!s1E: g: -.

New York. Feb. 3.-Confirmation
Of reports from Pcking Of q further
Litch TN tho Chinese loan ncgo:ia-
tons was received BY American rep
rrsentattvcs Of the syndicate today.
Some Of the objections advanced by
the French bankers were quite un-
expected. Il was said. but these, the
American bankers thought, probably
will be sustained because Of the pre-
dominence Of French interests in
the proposed loan.
II appears that Russia Is to fin.
ancc. only half Of her one-sixth in
terest, while the japanese participa.
ton will be financed entirely by the
French. In effect. France Is to sup.
ply nearly half Of the loan. For that
reason, the American. British and
German bankers are willing to con-
cedc some OF the claims. made by the
French group.

THE NEW CHINESE REPUBLIC.

From the Springfield Republican.
We call the new government a re-
public. but IL is not u republic In the
American sense. nor was the old
tyranny n tyraun! In the European
sense. In way China has always
been more democratic than Europe.
With the exception OF the royal
family. there Is no hereditary aristoc-
racy In China. save TO a limited ex-
tent among the Manchus. The per-
mancncy OF birth privileges Is al
lowed to the royal family. not be-
cause. IL {u!Iills the functions Of an
but because II cmbodies
the conception Of the nation as one
family with permanent relation to
the will OF heaven. which SO or
dained the social nature Of man. The
rulers and people are not contrast
cd and divided. They are not aristo-
Gratis and democrats. They are not
masters and servants. They are ono
family and stand IN the same relation
as parents and children. the grand
parents and descendants. ut Is not
possible" said Confucius III the
Great Learning. for nun to tcacl
others who cannot teach his own
family. Therefore. a ruler. without
going beyond his family. completes
the Lessons of the state. There fs
filial piety--theiewfth the sovereign
should be served. There is kindness
!--therewith the multitude should be
served" .t.
These principies periaeatc the ma

village commune is equally sslf:con-
tained and sslf-soyeruing. Districts
are ruled by delegates chosen from
the villages and towns. and they.
too. are self-goyernlng. The t1tuii
assesses the national bearing OF
questions arising In his district and
serves to line up this district TO other
districts In the new national family.
The result will be simply that the
