It has always required strong EFFORT
to accomplish much In the world. and
there IL nothing that carries q man

such stimulus. These stimuli grow

annual meeting of the Kentucky NO
rams Christian Temperance Union
held in Winchester Clark county,
strong resolutions were passed by the
convention, opposing the use Of tAe
weed on the grounds of morality anu
the general benefit of the people. The
Fixing squadron will probably follow
this lead and 1t is likely that prohi-
bition of the use of both liquor and
tc1acao will be discussed and aG5o-
Gated. Many states have anti-cigar-
ette laws - practically all of which
are dead letters as far as enforcement
is concerned-but no state has yet
passed a sweeping law against the,
use Of tobacco in any form. AS Ken
tucky is one of the great tobacco rails
ing districts, it will be interesting to
watch the results of an attempt to
rroh.bit its use in that common
wealth.

A REFINEMENT OF CRUELTY.

OF course 1t is not known how
much dependence can be placed upon
the claim, reported from Gloucester
Mass, that John Hays Hammond, Jr.
has invented a new type of projectile
which will scatter a white hot
mixture of molten steel and follow 1t
with the release of a deadly gas
which would prevent the fire being
extinguished. Ii sounds something
Ike that famous flight of French
fancy that was supposed to asphyxi-
a.e everything living within 400
yards
But if young Mr. Hammond has in
vented such a projectile why the re-
finement of cruelty in burning and
hlistering the victims who are to be
Immediately overcome by The release
OF the deadly gas? why not shoot
the gas bombs at EN- and kill them
rainlessly? 1t seems too much like
killing one bird with two stones.

\ conscientious person was supposed
to look back over the twelvemonth,
and determine whether it had been a
Year of moral advance or retrogres-
sion.
A cheerful spirit of anticipation is
more healthful mood. 1t promotes
feeling Of confidence which is half
the victory. At the same time one
must be thoughtless indeed if the
eadng OF the Old Year does not
raise the question whether on the
whole it has brought some new
powers, and has been period of
gain or loss. Every year should give
one a little higher skill in his call
ing, and some better degree of con-
troll over ones spirit
A person is pretty dull workman
ii the year has not brought new
tasks to be performed and new prob
lens to be solved. If one Is doing
the same old work, new ways OF
meeting its difficulties should have
been seen If the mind has been
wide awake, a year of effort ought
to have devised shorter cuts to ef-
ficiency, smoother methods Of avoid
ing friction.
Similarly in the more intimate
realms of personal contact and
struggles with ones own weaknesses.
il year Of experience should leave
every one ripper and more resource
ful. Some of the inability to adjust
oneself to ones surroundings should
have been mastered Somewhat
more self confidence, something more
OF independent initiative "a greater
feeling of Indifference to the vanities
and vexations of the world, should
have been acquired.
If one can spend an hour looking
back to the preceding New Year and
find gains in such respects there is
no reason for regretting the rapid
flight of time.

TOO MANY LAWS TO ENFORCE

This nation as a whole, and al
most every state in it-this one not
excepted from too much
law making. Senator Root told the
American Bar association that in five
years from 1909 to 1913 inclusive
congress and the state legislatures
passed 62,014 laws. No one knows
how many thousands of laws were in
force before 1909, but the 62,O14 new
cues repealed many of those preW-
ously in force, and amended many
more, with no end of resulting con
fusion. Relatively few of the laws
are vicious enough to work direct
harm. but hundreds of them are
harmful indirectly, for they are un-
necessary, inconsistent, aud impos'
sible to enforce.
