during the last few days, wishing one
another happy new year. But there
can be no happy new year to the man
who has not hopeful spirit And
there can be no hopefulness apart from
courage. We are looking for great
material progress during the coming
year, and this is well. But may we
not hope also for moral and spiritual
progress? Some advance has already
been made along this line. The faces
OF this people are set in the right di-
rection. We are learning to be con
tent with nothing less than the best in
society, politics and religion. In these
matters things will be very much as

came the word that the president had
pointed out 10 the congressional com
mittee the necessity for allowing eth
er one or two years for big business

Another essential in the trust pro.
gram being emphasized is the deter

state trade commission an auxiliary
not only to the courts in carrying out
DEGREES, but an actual assistant to big
business itself. Under no circum-
stances would the commission fix
