A New "Goat." "

There Is large element of humor in the fact that
the New York World now blames the Baker-Creel
brand of censorship for the deplorable army cond-
tions exposed before the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs.
Has the World forgotten that it was the strongest
champion Of the drastic administration censorship bill
which failed in the last Congress?
Has it forgotten that only few days ago it threw
fthe sneer of partisanshp the Senators who were
most active in the investigation?
1t reaches the conclusion that morally far larger
measure of guilt rests upon censorship system for
the shortcomings of the army administration than upon
the army itself Truly an extraordinary assertion
One might as well blame the child for the sins of the
fher, or the disease by eliminating its symptoms
Publicity may be the speedy remedy for army mall
administration but surely that does not make the NAL
administrators less culpabe for the results of their
work ~-
In lace OF the larger ISSUE however this fact need
not be pressed and is evidence of new day dawn
ing when the New York World finally decides that the
present absurdity of censorship straackef must 60
Perhaps some such thought may have come to the
War Department ITSELF for only this morning new
set OF censorship rules is placed in the hands of the
press. 1t IS better than the old but shows the same
earnarks of army old-fogyism and red tape The war
bureaus clearly have intention of enlisting the aid of
publicity IN clearing up the cantonment and ordnance
conditions that have been reluctantly disclosed to the
Senate -
The censorship is thesmost powerful ally of red
tape and bureaucratic incompetence yet the ary per-
sstenty uphods it regardless of its own welfare saws
the World OF course it does Does the World sup
pose the War Department enjoys the spectacle unfold
ca oy the Senate interrogators? Does suppose for
minute the army will voluntarily permit the press to
make its life continually miserable by parade of its
now admitted shortcomings? The bureaucrats never
learn never reform They can be blasted out of office
or whipped into line by the application of forces but
that is the only way.

Go for II, Nicholas!

Representative Nick Longworth proposes to rectify
that inqutous and discriminating provision of the new
income tax law which imposes flat rate of per cent
salaries of professional men, and he will have the

Willing to Swat.

The conversation at a social affair turned to the
energy of the hobo, when this little incident was
contributed by Representative Lemuel P. Padgett,
of Tennessee:
One afternoon last summer tramp meekly
knocked at the back door of suburban home, and
when the maid appeared he told her pathetic
story of starvation, and begged for bread.
II am willing to give you something to eat" re-
sponded the maid, without showing any great SYM
pathetic emotions, "but you muse earn it. Are
you willing to do little light work."
"Yes, maam," answered the tramp, -wearily sink
ing down adjacent bench. Anything to get
bread"

kitchen, "is full of flies Do you think that you
can kill them?"
"Yes, ma'am," answered the hobo, retaining his
comfortable position. Just let them come out

WELCOME, LITTLE STRANGERl

Here's 1913 stepping off at our door
While last year departs, to return nevermore
He's gone with his baggage of trouble and woe
And few of us weep we're watching him go;
But IoI8-well, we greet him with hope
And trust that he'll show HIMSELF able to cope
With problems that stumped the old year. Oh, we'r,
keen
For luck and good fortune with 1918.
He comes as child with an innocent smile,
But he will grow up in mighty brief while
For battle and slaughter and conflict in truth,
VIII soon make a of the caowest youth
And 1918, we quite fervently pray,
Will take hold of things in the manifest way
And help wipe the Kaiser ct al, off the scene
A sizable job for young 1918.
Oh, 1918, you'll be weighed down by war;
The burden of causes we're all fighting for;
We hope you can lead us to permanent peace
For not otherwise shall this mighty war cease
We want to be free of this terrible fight
We pray We can end it-by ending it RIGHT.
But if you cannot then we'll fight on, ween
Long after you've left u.s. Oh IorSl
And meantime, while whistles and bells make their din
You're welcome, young 1913. 50 come inl

the situation changed that Germany is bouyed up with
the hope that-eyen without the submarine-she can

power is effective that is before another year rolls
around OF course, she will not be able to do that
but she will pound desperately against the lines in the
West and keep her enemies on the defensive. She
may even be able to crush Italy
These are the things that the American people
must take into liberation and keep before their eyes

be period of gigantic preparation. We will be on
the battle line, but in numbers commensurate with
strength We be there fullpanoplied in 1910

concentrated defense of the German and Austrian
armies.
These are purely military calculations; they take
no account of civilian break down of Germany, of
the growing shortage of her supplies. They based
on the assumption that Germany will be able to hold
out economically That assumption may be i-advised
The world has good reason to believe that Germany

A LINE O. CHEER
EACH DAY o. THE YEAR.
To THE NEW YEAR.

Good morning. Mr.. Glad New Year
Here's hoping you will bring us cheer.
Here's hoping when your end draws
nigh
We may look back with grateful eye
Upon a measure rich in joy,
And happiness without alloy.
Here's hoping that to those in pain
You'll bring the boon of health again;
To stricken souls that dwell in grief
You'll grant the blessing of relief,
And to the heart opprest with care
The kindliest of weather fair.
And in these days of strife and hate
The miseries of earth abate.
Bring comfort out of woe. and hope
To all who in the darkness grope.
And every hour help US to press
Toward PEACE, firm fixed on
RIGHTEOUSNESS!

New York. Dec. 31.-A few years ago
the opening of a moving picture house
would not have excited a line in the
Harlem Home News-but now it
draws stories on the first pages. 1t
also brings out the regular first neigh
bors-the death watch-carping critics,
limousined ladies and their escorts in
evening clothes.
All OF this was proved by the OPEN
ing of Rivoli. the latest and greatest
picture house in the world, located on
Broadway and Forty-ninth street, in
the new theatrical belt. The theater
was built by the same man who thrill
ed New Workers with the Rialto on the
side of Hammerstein's old Victoria,
where the shooting show girls and all
the scandal makers were the featured
headliners.
Sam L. Rothapfel, the owner and
director of the new RivoH. left the
Pennsylvania coal mines, where he is
said to have welded a wicked pick, TO
enter the movie game in New York.
He got in at the right time and has
led the procession all the way.
The first night at the Rivoli was
like a Metropolitan first night with
Caruso at the bat. There were women
lighted up like Christmas trees with
jewels and swathed in rare furs in the
boxes. And up in the gallery were
the usual gallery crowds whose furs
perhaps would not make a good meal
for a moth. But they knew how to
appreciate artistic triumphs of the
cinema just as they do the blending
of harmoniss at the metropolitan.
Rothapfel is a genius for attracting
genius. He has the best orchestra
leader in town, and he has Hamish
McLauren. the keenest and perhaps
the best liked publicity purveyor along
Flash alley.
But the most amazing thing is that
Rothapfel says he is not through. In
the lobby Of the Rivoli after the tri-
umphant first night he said: 81 am
not through yet. 1 have in mind some
thing so tremendous, so Kaleidoscope,
so thoroughly American that it may
revolutionize the whole theatrical
situation in this country
And no one that knows his success
doubts him.

The afternoon fashion show on Fifth
avenue and the nightly parade along
Broadway are spectacles which have
done much to advertise the glory of
the metropolis, but they are not eX-
clusively New York functions.
But there is one great street parade
in which New Workers alone take part
1t is held on one of the narrowest
of the city's arteries and occurs only
during the winter time. This is the
great Nassau street lunch parade. held
at high noon in fair weather.
Broadway to be sure presents a more
attractive appearance than the Scrubby
little pathway connecting the City Hall
and Wall street, but in Nassau street
the clerks and~all Office employees can
rub elbows. The narrow sidewalks and
equally narrow streets are filled. Of
fee chatter fills the air
The boss receives the scorching ar
raignment he richly deserves, the color
of the new stenographer's hair is as
signed to its proper place as a wonder
of science and not of nature. There
are no sightseers-for there is nothing
to see but a row of little shops. For
an hour and a half the street is alive
with strollers-and then it is quiet.
Prohibition may come sooner than
We expect. New Years eve in the
cafes was an indication. There were
more lemonades, gingerale and other
soft drinks sold than wine. 1t used
to be that the prospective diner had to
promise to buy so many bottles OF
wine before he could get a table but
the rule did not hold good this year
At o'clock most everybody was home.
Central Park was not filed with men
and women in evening clothes trying
to- get a brace of fresh air in the
early morning hours. Wine agents are
a mournful lot. One famous Broadway
wine agent was seen riding to work
on a street car the other day.
