MUST LOOK AFTER OUR
OWN INTERESTS

In a long statement made in
Washington the past week, SEN
ator Borah, of Idaho, deplored
the fact that our authorities
have been so tremendously oc-
cupied with foreign affairs that
they have not had the time to
attend to affairs of the most pre-
ssing Importance at home. Sena-
tor Borah said in part:
ut is time to look after the
interests and welfare of our own
people. We have been deluged
with propaganda for months
as to our duty to other peoples.
1t is now time to give the AM
erican people consideration.
They have been wholly neglect
ed thus far ever since the war
began. Our industrial and eco
nomic conditions have there
fore reached a point where they
demand our first consideration,
1t is becoming a little bit nau-
seating to be told of our continu-
ed obligation to other people,
with never a word for the in
terests of our own people, some
of whom are very sorely in need
of attention.
Congress, it seems to me,
should at once pass the resolu-
tion declaring q state Of peace.
This is desirable more for
psychological reasons than any
thing else. The fact is that we
are in q state of actual peace,
and if it were not because the
advocates Of the League Of Ma
tions desire to make use Of the
fact that we are technically at
war very little attention would
be paid to the fact that we are
technically at war. The United
States, England, France, Japan,
and Italy are all trading with
Germany, and Germany is trad
ing with those countries. Great
Britain has just placed an order
with the German Government
for 75O, 600, 900 pounds for ma
terial of different kinds-pot-
ash and other things. But the
advocates Of the League con-
tinue to stress the proposition
that we are technically at war in
order to disturb business and
keep it restless and unsettled.
Far this reason the resolution
should be passed.
I'VE should then devote our
time every moment Of tito
bringing order out Of chaos in
our transportation system. The
necessary legislation to adjust
the railroad situation should be
had as soon as possible. No one
single thing is 80 important to
Industrial confidence and rovi-

val. One of the greatest and
best railroad systems in the
world has been wrecked through
incompetency and politics. Be-
fore we can have any business
prosperity in this country or
any such condition in our indus
trial affairs the transportation
question must be adjusted"

HAAKON COUNTY WILL BUY
RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
SEALS

The campaign for the sale of
six hundred dollars worth of Red
Cross Christmas seals in Haakon
county is well under way. Public
spirited citizens are giving their
assistance to the matter in all
parts of the county. The actual
sale is already under way, and
the campaign will not be conclud-
ed until December Is.
The Gem theatre at Philip, and
the opera house at Midland are
both showing slides and films
that are related especially to Red
Cross Seal work. This is a gener-
GUS contribution Of the manage
rs of these picture theatres.
School children in both of
these towns and in most Of the
country districts of the county
are lending a hand in selling the
seals. In fact, the school teachers
of the county and their pupils
are q main stay in this great
work.
Altogether the allotment of
Haakon county is six hundred
dollars for the campaign. "A good
many stamps at q penny apiece
must be sold to realize this a.
mount; yet if everyone in the
county will buy the stamps for
their Christmas packages and
letters the amount will soon be
realized. In fact they may be put
on checks, or almost anywhere.
Wherever they appear they
make people glad. and mark the
advancing lines Of the conquest
OF consumption.
The democratic slogan for
the coming campaign will not
be We kept them out of coal. "
Considerable fiddling is still be-
ing done down ct Washington,
while the country's store Of
things to burn is dwindling

his army should take a
vow to refrain from indulgence in
strong drink for whole year.
The practice Of beginning the new
year with good resolutions. however,
is very, very old The custom goes
back to the beginnings of recorded his
tory and was common to many peoples.
Time was when the New Years
resolution was solemn affair, marked
by elaborate religious ceremonies. For
example the Japanese, 800 years be-
fore Christ, made much of the day. All
outstanding accounts and debts were
cleared away, all enmitles were ended
under penalty of the law. The dwell
ing house was swept and garnished ;
old furniture and old clothing were
cast away in exchange for new in the
belief that the assumption of new
conscience was complete only with the
assumption OF new covering for the
body.
BY contemporary peoples was the
New Year day regarded as time of sol
ef0n remuneration Ol ittt lOllitS anu an
amendment for the future. In the days
of the Pharaohs the Egyptians sym
aolized their publication with elahor-
ate baths and fasting; the Pers ans
and Phoenicians greeted the New, Year
with prayer to the heather images ard
with Negotiations.
With the passing Of the centuries I'D
New Years VOWS have lost their Tor
mai character. Turning over new
loaf' is now a matter of individual
and not national concern. Swearing
orr is even Il favorite jest with the
aumorist and cartoonist.
Nevertheless. the modern man Is
more sensitive 20 the appeal Of the
New Year than he shows ia public.
What makes the New Year is the new
aess of life that human nature brings
bDto it. II Is a New Year 20 everybody
according as everybody tries 20 live
over again, and pushes forward aud
turns plan to action and discourage
ment to hope. People rely TOO much
on resolutions to make year new.

which is the paramount issue in this

the rumor current at Frankfort that
the Governor means to make radical
changes in the State Board of Con-

and possibly the State Tax Com
