identified with an important phase of national history: a drink that was to revolutionize the domestic scene purge diplomacy of its guile, bring in- ternational peace.

 But one might say the same of any drink, of arsenic or prussic acid. And thus falls to the ground that fabric of hope which had builded upon the in- secure base of grape Juice.

 Grape juice is indeed harmless if not used in excess. But there are some who will contend that excess begins with the first drop. It will be noticed that pr. Wiley, true to his cognomen, neglects to commit him. self on this point

the year that heralded the dawn of the Christian era and the one that announced the birth of the world. 1915 means much more than many of its predecessors. It stands for the greatest upheaval that ever shook the face of the earth It is the preci- pice over which civilization toppled into the depths of barbarity.
 Like a spark in prairie grass the war in Europe has developed into a fire that promises to be world wide. It has 1ashed it's tongues of flame ahead of it taking all in it's path and scoring and burning those who stand on the roadway. AS long as there is a blade of burnable chaf it will go on, and on, and on, until prop ably the year 1916 will see more horrors than the year we are just sending away. 1917 may be even bigger year No one knows. And so it is with some timidity that we uncover our heads and stand aside as the feeble old year limps out into the vast unknown, for we know not what it's successor will bring, whether there will come more misery, or less slaughter The only thing we have to bolster us up is hope,-hope that the end is drawing nigh, that the bad deeds of men have been spent once for all, that a new page on the book of life will be turned and the pen of Time will be tempered with Christian charity in it's writings.
 To old 1915 then as he ambles out the door into the cold and bleak be- yond we wish god speed and trust that when he hands his hour glass and scythe to the little stranger on the threshold he will pour out some of the vitrol before reckonings be- gin. To us, on this side of the At lantic 1915 was better and kinder than to our brothers abroad he gave us the greatest mercantile and busi- ness year in our history, the year of greatest exports, but with it he land ed a liberal dose of internal dissen- tion so that whatever joy he dis pensed was equally balanced with sor- row. That is why we are not so sorry to see him go, and we say in parting, may he never come back, nor any of his ilk. Good bye. 1915.

THE PROPER IDEA.

Party lines are being fairly we'll obliterated owing to the present in- ternational situation. There is con- certed movement to stand by the President as far as possible. Whereas but few short months ago republi- cans, progressives and others than dem ocrats were ready at a moment s notice to bounce on the administra- ton, now all is waxing serene. There is more show of national unity. And in unity there will be found strength As an example how the majority of folk in this country feel in regard to the situation, the following remark made not long ago by well known citizen of Massachusetts is explana- tory:
 "I say of our great President of the United States, we stand by him, we stand by America, we stand by the honor and dignity of the nation itself."

Theodore S. Woolsey. who for many years was professor of international law at Yale University, need take his hat off to no authority in the world for knowing his subject. The pro- lessor is recognized as one of the few men in the world who know in- terna'tional law as it should be known, And the professor knows whereof he speaks. In an address before the del- egates of the Pan-American Scientific Congress in Washington, Professor Woolsey accused the belligerent na- tions of violating virtually every law that stood in their way, putting up the plea of military necessity. They have too. And neutral nations should beware.

 Actors and their managers have failed to catch the spirit of the times, which is that art to be successful must seek the widest, not the narrow est, field.

Our Free Press.
(New Haven Register)


 we Germans do not understand what you call your free press," says Captain Boy-Ed in his parting shot to America. The opinion and utterances of the captain are not under the cir cumstanCcs, worthy of especial atten- ton, but his slur at our free press may not pass without comment, for the sake of our own people. Perhaps not all Americans understand what we call the free press, but it is a real and cherished and valuable institution.
 There is a sort of free press in Ger many. In time of peace it is permit ted to say some things which seem to us surprising. But the rules governing the utterances of the press in Ger many and in some other countries under monarchy are radically differ ent from the rules which obtain here. The discredited captain is sore because our newspapers have printed the truth against him. In his own country he might have had protection against that truth In this country there is no such protection. The truth will out and the free press will generally print it. No privilege or rank, no eminence of office, shields man. It is a common impression that wealth will muzzle our press. If that is so in some instances there are five instances to the contrary to every one of the sort. If there is any sort of American citizen on whom our publicity unduly bears, 1t is the sort who was once described as "the malefactOr of great Wea lth."
 Thought and expression are free in this country, yet the rights of every man are sacred. Our really free press prints only the truth, but if it's critics could know how frequently it refrains from printing the truth when the truth would hurt the individual with out serving the common good, their faultfinding would be hushed. As for instances, which are rare, of malicious published statement, we have such effective libel laws that they seldom fail of prompt and proper punishment.
