THE ward boss is intensely human. Theory
i does not bother him, but charity is his
handmalden. He looks out for his people.
There was Tim" Sullivan, with his shoes.
The fellow who got them did not care IL
Tim" was lax in government. He was glad
of IT, in fact; and there was as much chance
Of beating Tim" in his own district as there
was of brushing back the tides at Coney
Island The man who puts coal in an empty
cellar Is the man who is likely to get the vote
of the owner of the cellar.
Ten thousand children were the guests of
Congressman Ware yesterday. They all had
a good time, and they did not forget to tell
their parents about t. why should they?
The Riddles are always grateful-and tomor-
row they are men. Yes the ward boss deals in
pleasant charity He bubbles over with hu-
manlty. He is always ready to help the men
who need help, and without asking too many
questions. That is how he gets his power.
And the paradox is that in such excellent
good works lies the greatest menace to good
government and American institutions.

Belgium Is Still Belgium

TNHE United states Government does not
J. recognize Belgium a conquered and an
nexed province of Germany hence the United
States Government will not ask Germany to
commission our Consuls. IF Germany will
not recognize the American representatives
in their original status, then we may with
draw them.
Belgium, according to international law
has not ceased to be sovereign State be-
cause her land Is invaded by a foreign foe
There is still n Belgian army in the field un-
der the Belgian King, and the Belgian Minis
ter still represents his country in Washing
ton. America is far too fair and far too proud
of it's national justice to acquiesce in any
such proposal that made by Germany.
Every right that belongs to neutral ma
tlon America will insist upon in the face of
all the world. Our Consuls in Belgium will
continue to do their useful work under their
original exequaturs or they will be recalled.

THE ANTIDoTE FOR PEsllMIsM
Longer Than Methusalah Ever Kew.
By WILLIAM RAIDER

NTEW YEARS is the station whCe we
IN pause long enough to forget something's
and gather fresh courage to press toward.
1t is the point on the journey where W un-
load unnecessary baggage-old troubled old
sins, old habits and old worries A Japaese
couplet contains a wise injunction:
my sleeve with tears is always wet
1 have forgotten to forget"
What has been cannot be recalled. GoNe
is the biting, stinging word, and 1t can u
more be recovered than the bullet once \
leaves the gun. Gone forever is the golden
opportunity, and it can never be brought
back The petals of the flower cannot be
replaced once they are scattered on the
ground Let the dead bury the dead" The
old year is going. Let it go. We may turn
back the hands Of the clock, but the sun
moves on in invincible progress. I'VE spend
our years tale that is told"
The dawn of the new year should be the
grave of old experiences which rob us of our
joy, OF old relationships which bind us to
yesterdays.
on the contrary, there is a power in the
past which contributes to next years wealth
as last years seeds carry in them the gold
of next summers harvest. Retrospection
may yield sweetness bitterness. 1t de-
pends upon the way we have lived, Intro
spection is one of the moods of the new
year, a mood of self-examination and meas
urement. When introspection rises to reso-
luton then have we seen the vision of to-
morrow.
Time sobersN the mind. The rustic Of its
flying wings settles us into seriousness. A
goth century year is packed with duties pos
slbilities. perils and responsibilities. We live
longer than Methusalah, for time is meas
ured not by years. but deeds,
Things that cannot be helped should be left
in 1914. and we should fret only about the
things which we have left undone. Growing
old is Iife's most beautiful experience. Rus
kin said Rembrandt was the only artist who
could paint wrinkle, and his wrinkles are
beautiful because he glorihes the commons
place Of age. II youth is passing better
season follows.
New Years then should be the occasion Of
the forward, upward, hopeful look. It should
be the hour OF new determination and a
desire for the lasting satisfactions. Each
year brings its own peculiar duties. 1t is
this that makes life vital and fresh,
There Is no dead line for the hopeful ana
no time limit for usefulness to those who
aspire.
Aspiration Is the antidote for DesslmIsm.
We have not yet done our best
