HAmING A NEW WORLD

We American people today face 9
new era and we hail 1t with great JOY.
We are gratifled over the passing Of
q lipolitical and social conditions no.
In accord with all human progress.
The new order Of things will be con-
ducive to a greater progress and to
much greater advancement In civili-
zation never yet achieved or perhaps
ever thought of and to try to make an
estimate of the good coming from the
newer conditions would be confus
ing. The time has now arrived when
all should have clear vision and
think straight to the mark OF prog
ress. In all the evenues OF living
these new conditions have now be-
come case Of watchful waiting to
see what the harvest will be and we
stolid Americans are firm in our be-
lief that finally this new era will
show results quite satisfactory to US
and to all the world generally. We
should be mindful that all values are
measured by the means to produce
them and everything made that we
don't surely need at this time is waste
and works In restraint Of al business
! enterprises. All waste tends to worse
conditions. There Is nothing in it
conducive to contentment or to make
us happy. So, for this, If for no other
reason, the waste Of everything should
be eliminated to the fullest degree, !
believe. We, as a people, have bene
much too wasteful in the past and
the bringing to pass Of things by the
late war must have ere this opened
the eyes of we Americans and the
good that will eventually come from
the conditions created by this war
will be like the Wilderness Of the sea.
II would seem to me that all we have
to do now is to just look into the fu-
ture. And make the progress that is
now very possible. We have the
high ideals and the principle, so all
we now have to hand is to 60 right
ahead and apply them. Let our good
common horse sense be the incentive
ir the vanguard and by this we will
some day look on the beauties of this
newer world-and to our brave young
men we give the glad hand for their
noble part in the new making.
Sincerely, W. 8. B.
