SATURN HAS "A RIVAL

Our esteemed cotemporary, the
Richmond Virginian, yesterday con
tanned picture entitled New Ri.
val to Saturn Soon" It represent.
ed this colossal planet, probably
fifty times as large as our earth
with its beautiful rings and eight
satellites. in jealous mood at the
present appearance of Mothe,
Earth. The latter. instead of beau.
tiful bands of light, is pictured by
the Virginian with Il white ribbon
band around it. denoting dry
world upon which dwelleth right.
eousnesS. as King Alcohol is nc
more.
The conception is worthy of this
champion Of prohibition. Think OF
it; our orhs is about to be encircled
by immaculate white.
In the Apocalypse, while the Lamb
is Opening the seals. it will be re-
mernbere9, that the first figure
which makes its appearance is a
white horse. the rider being armed
with a bow. and he is told to GO
forth ccnquering and to conquer.
The meaning os the red, black anc
pale &tseds IS apparent; the Waite
horse is an enigma. ani we arc
left to conjecture. Most readers
assume the white horse represents
the preaching. of the gospel 10, al
nations; others, However. DO ro'
adopt this explanation, and are IN
clincd to believe the hc.se ard its
rider implies some counterfeit Chris
tianiCy, as We are told Satan otter
transforms himself into an angel OF
light
Probably the white band used by
our cotemporary explains the riddle,
and the horse and its rider. may
mean the spread of the dry wave
over our sin-tossed planet.

THE DYING YEAR

The year 1919, with all the his
tory it has made, will pass away at
midnight. When the clock in the
City Hall begins to strike the hour
of twelve the death rattles of the
old year viii be subsiding and the
New Year, 1920. and q leap year,
will be coming to the birth.
The dying year has had It's sor-
rows, joys and excitement as have
all its: predecessors. While wars
and rumors' Of ~.ar have been TEN
porarily hushed, we have had strikes
and rurnors of strikes, and as the
pulsations of 1919 grow weaker our
| country is confronted by issues the
outcome Of which is uncertain.
The year 1920 will witness an
other. exciting Presidential election
which will keep the country in an
UNCERTAIN, condition. until the result
shall have. been, known. Besides
peace has not been formally de-
clare2 and the outcome Of the treaty
is stiIl regarded with apprehension
by na2ny.
Upon. the advent Of the New Year
we alt feel inclined to turn over
lgssw leaves and start out afreshi

With pleasure own our errors past
And make each day a critic upon
