EVERY WEDNESDAY
A EAsPY HEw YEAR TO ALL.

Delight and pathos are mex
sricabiy mingled with t b e
thought Of New Years day. 1t
Is only conventional point of
time,. any other would do as
well. Every day closes an old
year and begins new one, bat
for all we cannot help feeling
that this DAY, which is agreed
npon throughout Christendom
for the beginning Of a new year
is somehow unique. The pathos
eomes from the review of the
past, and from the sense that
another notch has been cat for
IS on the stick Of time.
Do we take time during the
!aurry and. hustle of the holiday
season to, review our work Of
she year and see wherein We
nave made mistakes, jotting
them down in our memory as to
3e avoided in the future? That
ooy would never have become a
perfect workman if be did not
aVold mistakes Of yesterday.
:Ve mlst never make the same
mistake twice, and in order to
saard against doing SO, we must
look back and find the mistakes
sIe have made.

the reason for the recognition of
Carranza by this government,
which originally contemplated
giving Villa an opportunity. 0b-
lection by Latin-American coun-
tries caused a change. and as
Carranza controlled a large army
and was in possession of a great
er area Of territory than any
other chieftaSn he was accept d
as the best saan to place-in con-
troll. It vas q sort of Hobson's
choice and recognition was not
extended for any other reason.
Carranza has given assurance
that all religions shall be pro.
secaed in Mexico SO long as, the
kmembers Of the different
|churches respect the laws OF the
republic. He has given assur.
iance of a free press and other
constitutional guarantees, and so
far has kepe bis word, therefore
the administration should not
he condemned for it's action.
Had the United States and the
Latin-American not recognized
Carranza a. most appalling con.
dition would have followed, for
there was no one to enforce even
the laws of humanity. People
we're starving in the midst of
plenty in some sections. The
bandits who posed as army chiefs
shipped large quantities of food
and large numbers of cattle out
of Mexico and permitted the
masses to starve. Banditry pre-
vailed and everywi. ere there was
a state of anarchy. From d hum
itarian point, therefore, the best
thing to do was to extend official
recognition to the one consider
ed the best man to place in
authority.
Ca rran8a has been travelling
over Mexico meeting the people
and explaining his policies. The
Mexicaps have for the first time
in their history found that when
they surrender and lay down
their arms they are not assassi-
mated, and this is having a
salutary effect. Had some of the
Others been placed in Carranza s
position they might have butch
cred all sheir former enemies the
first time they were disarmed.
Give the new Mexican admin
istration an opportunity to make
good, and if it fails it will be
time to criticise.--Ex.

TIE SITUATION IN MEXICO.

Recently Mr.. Tumulty, secre-
tary to President Wilson wrote
a letter to friend answering
criticism of the administration
because Of it's recognition of Car.
rama as de facto president of
Mexico. This was because some
Catholics have violently pro-
tested against recognition of
Carranza. Being devout Cath
olic himself, Mr.. Tumulty's let:
ter should have great weight.
The charge had been made
that Carranza was responsible
for the. spoliation of Catholic
church property, for the killing
and exiling Of priests and for
assaults said to have been made
upon nuns. Mr.. Tumulty pro.
duces testimony from Mexican
church dignitaries disproving
the charges.
During the almost fve'years of
turmoil in Mexico there has been
a reign of brigandage, and tits a
fact undisputed that the adher-
ents of every leader have re,
sorted to barbaric deeds. No one
faction is blameless, all are more
or less guilty. Another thing to
be borne in mind is that in all
proceeding revolutions in Mex
leo for the past century the rev.
olutionists have opposed both
church aud. state. That always
brings the church into the lime
light, and In all previous upris
ings the churches have suffered.
All the Latin-Americans recog-
nized Carranza. The time came
when some one had to be recog.
nized, as anarchy prevailed all
over the republic, and that is

TIE CLOSE OF The YEAR.

The close of the year is al
ways a time for serious thought
and reflection. The past crowds
upon US at such a time with far
more than usual intensity and
especially forces upon our at
tention our faults. failures and
| mistakes. Let US look them
squarely in the face and profit
by them. The wise man always
does this, but the fool never.
The latter goes on committing g
the same follies and making the
same mistakes, never pro6tlng
By his experience, to say moth
ing Of the experience of others.
Every man makes mistakes. It
may not be his fault the first
time, but it is if be makes the
same mistake a second time. We
believe that the secret of success
with those who succeed. and the
cause Of failure with those who
fail, will be found largely in the
ability and disposition to study
the causes of both success and
failure, not only in ones own ex
perience, but in that of others.
The farmer now has leisure to
review the operations of the
year, and he should do it candid
ly and critically. Make a COM
plete analysis of every import
ant operation. Find the weak
places in 1T and trace them to
their origin. Nothing will pre-
pare one so thoroughly for the
Operations of the year to come
as this kind of searching inves-
tigation.
And while we are about this
business we should look just as
carefully into our record of NOR
al responsibility. We should be
far more anxious to improve
character, mind and morals than
to improve our farms. Serious
study of our weak points and of
means to strengthen them is a
very profitable business at any
time, and if pursued assiduously
will strengthen and develop all
that is good and admirable in
our natures, and make US better,
stronger, noble men and women
as the years go by. And the
time will come in the life Of
every one when such record sof
honest, earnest, persistent effort
to improve will afford far great
er satisfaction than anything
else in his account with this
world. We can wish no better
thing for all our readers than
that they begin the new year an
mated by a firm resolve to turn
all it's experience into profit for
themselves, mentally, morally,
