NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

We. don't know who invented the
custom of making New Years resolu-
tions, but we do know that for the
most part they are prompted by a
weak will. When man is under con-
yicuon OF the injury some habits he
has contracted are doing to him, II he
has any will power left worth exert
ing. he will determine to get away
from them and not ornately dedicate
himself to resolutions. There is a diff
ference between resolution and deter
nntnatiol. One may resolve to do a
thing, but If there Is no grim determl-
nation back OF the resolve nothing
comes OF the resolution. 1t takes a
strong will TO back up determination.
That Is why so few persons OF good
intentions ever get past day or so

A oUACK PROTECTION

There is a singular lack Of appre-
clifton in the Democratic party Of the
perils that will confront this country
with the conclusion Of peace In Eu-
rope, while we find in the Republican
party an intelligent conception Of
the menace that confronts us.
The attitude OF the Democrats
is susceptible of no other In
depreciation that that OF waiting
until foreign producers ship their
goods into this country in such quan-
titles as to injure our industries, and
then the administration will prosecute
the importers II they are selling mere
at a substantially less price than at
home and FOR the purpose of destroy
ing our industries by unfair compeu-
ton. II the importer sells hero at
practically the same price as abroad
with freight, and other expenses add
ed no offence will be committed
against the Democratic plan Of pro-
tectlng American industry. Even il
the sale here be at less than the price
at home. no violation Of law will he
committed, unless also made for the
express purpose OF destroying our In
duStries. And these 'faCts must be-
proven beyond d rrsonabl" doubt. III"
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1916-12-30

burden OF proof Is upon the American
citizen. This is the weak defense az
forded by the "anti-dumping" legisia-
ton, an Intellectual barrier TO any on
slaught made on US.
With the Republicans there is an
ingrained belief that nothing protects
like protection That Is based on the
we'll defined assumption that when
foreigner ships to this country goods
which can be produced here. he does
so for the purpose Of supplying our
market and supplanting American
goods, to the necessary injury OF
American producers. SO the Repuoh-
cans, in order to prevent tnat injury
would impose an import duty sutll-
ciently high to insure against any de-
structiye importation. The RepublI-
cans believe In safety first; that an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure. The Democrats believe IN
watchfully waiting. They would let
the foreign producer ship his goods
here and sell them. If injury should
result, they would still further wait
until several years of litigation had
determined the motive Of the import
er. II the final result should be de-
cision against the importer, there
would be no restoration Of the de-
stroyed industry, no reparation to the
American producer who had been
driven out OF business, merely a dts
continuance. perhaps, Of that particu-
lar importation which had been adj
Indicated to be unfair.
From the face OF tho election re-
turns, the Democrats may think the
American people voted for the Demo
cratic plan OF protection. If any OF
them voted for the Democratic admin
istraton and do not favor the Demo
cratic plan Of waiting until We have
been hurt before we apply a remedy,
they will do well to sit down and
write to their Senators and Congress-
men and to the President and tell
what they really think Of the policy OF
not closing the door until after tho
horse has escaped.

O: trial of their New Years resolutions.
They lack the will power. and that IS
why making New Years resolutions
has become Il matter of jest and airy
persiflage at this season Of the year.
The broken New Years VOW is the
standard American joke. But strong
men do stick: it is the weak that fall.
But that need not discourage the
man who in the closing hours of every
succeeding year sits down and takes
account of himself, subjects his past
deeds and accomplishments to Sc
we're analysis. digs deep into the
causes of any failures he has made
and sums up his accomplishments
with the standard he had previously
set. This is a good and helpful thing
10 do. 1t is the human inventory.
These reflections and introspect1ons
will show one just where he stands,
whether he has done all he could have
done. or done those things he ought
not to have done. After he is through
with this self inspection he will be
better prepared for the coming year
He will be warned against repeating
mistakes and perhaps encouraged and
inspired for greater things to come.
Such an examination Of the past IS
much more fruitful of results than an
historical leap in the dark, as those
take who seek sanctuary in New
Years resolutions.

nervous instability and OF emotional

1t is apparent that Europe is doomed
TO the congenital misfortunes from
which we still have the opportunity
to save ourselves. 1t is not TOO much
to say that the future Of the while
race lies with the American people.
II We will soberly. wisely, unselfishly
determine, material gains which mean
luxury for ourselves, 1t lies within our
power TO maintain unimpaired the
material potentialities OF our people.
If, on the other hand, we finch from
the plain duty confronting us, the
American Of the coming generation
can be short Of stature, weak OF arm,
pitifully emotional, limited in mental
ity, and prone 10 cowardice.
Europe's future is deplorable. France
after the immolation Of its best and
its bravest in the Napoleonic wars,
lost four inches Of average stature for
two generations and only now, after a
century OF comparative peace, is
restored TO the elan Of courage which
was her ancient boast. the nervous
forces, apparently, have recovered,
but the actual return to type in con-
formation, is still lacking. Madison
Grant has pointed out the appalling
consequences, to the German popula-
lions, Of the Thirty Years War, in the
course (which two-thiTds Of the
people were destroyed, while, even
now, out Of the 70,000000 inhabitants
OF the empire. only 100000 remain
purely Teutonic in celebration, stature
and other characteristics. These are
history's visible warnings.
Wars process today is equally ruin.
Gus. The flower OF the race in Europe
is passing away; the wastage must be
followed by lowering Of the average
citizenship. at least In those qualities
capable Of being transmitted. But
Europe appears 10 be pledging itself
10 burn out. in its factories and lis
workshops. the mai ernal powers of its
best populations. Given fathers who
as TO be ineligible for active service,
in the field. and fathers nervously
exhausted by the extraordinary hor
rors of modern warfare. and fathers
who are either immature or are the
rejects OF CONSUMPTION, and their pro
Eeny has the poorest chance possible
from paternity. Add TO thar depleted
inheritance mothers whose powers
have been crushed out by Europc's
desperate resolve to regain its former
material prosperity and, through whole
strata Of the populations. the dire con-
sequences discernible in post-Napo-
leonic France must be double.
Europe may aver that il has no
choice. But surely we Of America
have. Our choice. unlike Europe's, is
not between starvation and survival
but between riches and moderate
prosperity. Are not the American
woman of today. and her child of the
future. worth the requisite selfdeuial?
