Anguish and All-Night Licenses.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Have you any information in regard
to the number of all-night licenses the ad-
ministration will give out for New Years
Eve?
Last year, when the little land of Belgium
was swept over by perjured foe, the Mayor
issued two hundred all-nght licenses.
Was it that by eating and drinking and
revelry we might rot hear the groans Of the
oppressed?
This year there will be Poland, Serbia and
Armenia added TO those who have been
stripped Of land and home and food and
rament.
Taking these ravished countries into consid-
GRAFTON, the administration can do no less
than issue at least eight hundred sll-night
licenses.
Out in Chicago. where there is to be no
foolng with tie license laws, there may be
some poor creatures who will come 20 New
York and celebrate il our bright administra-
ton will make it worth while.

ever been In addition he taught us to
telieve that by words we could preserve
our honor and our profits. He taught US
to flee our duty, but, as we fed, to pro-
claim our championship Of human liberty
and neutral rights.
And now, as the year ends, there is no
reason why any American should mistake
the estate to which his country has fallen.
There is no reason why he should misun-
derstand the contempt and loathing felt
for the United States abroad, felt by men
and women who are daring all and endur-
ing all for the principles we continue to
assert that we cherish at the moment when
we skulk away from the obligation Of de-
Tending them.
The year that is ending is the most
shameful in American history. Our chill
dren and our children's children will turn
from its page with scorn and humiliation
But out of the shame and the humiliation
there may yet come a new strength a new
patriotism, new unselishness. 1t Is for
all Americans who realize what has hap
pened and to what a level their national
life has been brought to resolve to ded-
cate themselves and their resources 20 the
work of cleansing the temple and sweeping
forth the money changers who have occu-
pied the most sacred place in our national
life and turned it to their huckster ends.
The America that is real, the America
that has come to us from our fathers. was
on America in which there were patriotism
and idealism. Ignoble leaders and selfish
politicians have betrayed it to the world
and to ourselves. There can be no hope
for the New Year, no duty and no desire
more controlling. more compelling. than to
take our country's honor from the mire
into which Mr.. Wilson has cast it and re-
store it TO the place it once held in the
hearts and the minds Of Americans and Of
men Of all nations in the honorable years
that have gone before.

 pauies have been rushing work on the mines in order to take advantage of the high prices of copper, but the trans portation companies are unable to handle the ore, aud as result many of the properties will be forced to close down for the winter.
