a Cubsn commenting on the idea
Of government - established in Gu
BE- by Governor Magoon, some years
since. expressed himself in these
words: Government used to mean
to some of us something to resist
and conspire against; to some of US
something from which to draw per-
sonal salaries and make personal pro-
fits, and to some of US something to
which we must pay heavy taxes with
out getting anything in return"
! These same thoughts are too often
shared by those who do not realize
the protecting care Of a we'll ordered
government. and would smite the
hand that protects them.
And by those who are selfish and
care for nothing only the emoluments
Of the Office they are holding.
And by those who would evade con-
tributing their share to the support
of the government under which they
exist: such views will never produce
patriotism when viewed from the
highest standard.
No government is effective in the
highest sence unless in it's admins
trative factions 1t affords proof of it's
utility. This is true whether it be
county, city, state or nation. Any
government conducted on this basis
inspires confidence, begats patriotism
and calls forth the financial and
moral support of its beneficiaries.
1t is needless to say that such ideal
just and evitable laws exist, and these
must be administered by officials who
have the highest sense of right and
justice.
Out of such governments proceeds
the qualities solidity and cohensive-
Isuch nations next to invincible in the
trying crisis of war.

GERMANS PROPOSE
 ID REDUCE ARMIES
OFFERS TO JOIN IN WORLD LEAGUE TO ENFORCE
 PEACE.
ENTENTE MAY NOW GIVE HEED
Moderation of Terms Sought Permits Wilson to Tender Good Offices Other Neutras Join in
 Urging Farley.

Washington.-The German embassy has authorized the statement that 1t was certain. should representatives of the belligerents meet to discuss peace terms. that one of the most import ant subjects for discussion would be that of limited universal disarmament The German view Is sad to be that any peace would be worthless which did not make unnecessary armament on a scale approaching that which exist ed before the war
 It was suggested that actual forma- tion. as has been proposed in some league of nations to enforce peace. necessarily would have the effect to bring about a limited disarmament The German chancellor has said Ger many would be glad to enter a league to prevent war.
 Press dispatches from London. con veying the broad intimation that the entente allies might insist upon Bel gium being indemnified as well as re- stored. aroused keen interest in Teu tonic quarters. where it was indicated that if indemnities were to be given those localities where damage has been done by war. Germany would have claims for damage in East Prus- sta, Poland and other places.
 Consider German Proposals.
 When. with the announcement of the German proposals recently. it ap- peared that the entente allies were inclined to reject the offer flatly. it appeared very doubtful if President Wilson could find a way 10 add word of mediation in transmitting the notes. With the apparent moderating of that first attitude. as reflected in the Brit ish newspapers and among the entente diplomats here. the way seems easier for the president to express in some way the hope of the United States that the proposal for a discussion of peace will not be rejected without consideration.
 In such step there is q likelihood of the United States being supported by some of the European neutrals. The minister of He of them has asked his government to authorize him to assure the president of indorsement in such move. and it is believed others are considering the same phase of the situation

Goodby, Old Year.
By THEODORE H. 6oIcE.

The time has come to say goodby. Old Year, for We must part; And 'tis reluctantly we speak
 The word that wrings the heart. For you have been faithful friend Through all your tweive-month stay. A friend who clung to us by night And walked with us by day. We we'll remember when you came. bright and smiling youth. With all the promises of hope
 And all the cheer of truth. We hailed you then with merry shouts, And fondly clasped your hand; With you we started on the road To newer conQuests planned. Meath sunny skies we journeyed on Along life's thoroughfare. And you were ever at our side.
 In all our joys to share. Through days of toll and days of rest We always found you near, A loyal friend, companion true,
 With purpose ever clear. When skies were dark. and rough the
 way.
 And grief and trouble came, You through misfortune to us clung. Your friendship eer the same. Through summers heat and winters
 cold
 Through gladneSs, doubt and fear. You with us steadfastly remained
 A loyal friend. Old Year. But now you're sadly aged, old friend. Your hair is white as snow; Your steps, once firm, are faltering. And you desire to go. We cannot keep you 'gainst your will, And so tis with a sigh We clasp your trembling hand and say "Goodby. Old Year. goodby"

The Old Year.
By JOSH WINK.

We bid goodby to thee, Old Year. But not with sad regret: For long the scars of thy sore wounds Will be upon us yet. A record thine of blood and woe, Of nations in fierce strife The greater one for world control, The weaker ones, for life. Thou hast kept arms in mems grlpped
 hands,
 The tears in women'S eyes, The dread in little children's hearts. Death rattles in their cries; Lands hast thou swept of homes and
 crops,
 Where toll contented reigned. Thou hast brought flame to scorch and
 kill.
 With blood the soil hast stained. Across the seas thy direful work Hast planted seeds of hate 1n fearful deeds and wrath to come To live and germinate. Q fateful year, O fatal year! Pass from our shuddering sight. God grant the year which waits its birth
 May bless where thou didst blight !

 And deep in his eyes of blue Is the promise of all the joy that life Is holding in store for you. Health's shining therc--if you'll cross
 your heart
 To live with n wise discretion And then follows Sleep and then fol-
 lows Play.
 And Love joins the dim procession. And trailing behind are the ghosts of
 the years
 That wait on the Grown-Up Shore, And haunt all the paths of Aftera-
 While
 That lead to the Futures door. The New Year stands on his tippy-toes And puts in your two brown hands The reins of his steeds. l CAN and l WILL To drive through the deep life sands. And hard he stares with his wistful | eyes. Wond'ring if you'll get through And hoping that all of the dreams he's | dreamed | Will have the good taste to come | true.

 Think not of the faults and mistakes

 Take one backward look and let that

 The wrongs of the past and the things that annoy; But substitute action and deeds opti- miStic
 And anchor yourself In the harbor of joy. The future depends upon striving and trying And doing your best with your own little part. The slogan of all should be Doing or Dying
 Just swing into line with good run ming start. Forget all things past that are border

A Poem for the New Year.
By S. E. RISER.

l will start anew this morning with
 higher. fairer creed: I will cease to stand complaining of
 my ruthless neighbours greed; ! will cease to sit repining while my
 duty's call Is clear. I will waste no moment whining and
 my heart shall know no fear. I will look sometimes about me for the
 things that merit praise ! will search for hidden beauties that
 elude the grumbler's gaze; T will try to find contentment in the
 paths that must tread. ! will cease to have resentment when
 another moves ahead. I will not be swayed by envy when my
 rivals strength Is shown: II will not deny hls merit. but I'll strive
 to prove my own; I will try to see the beauty spread be-
 fore me. rain or shine I will cease to preach your duty and
 be more concerned with mine.
