1T DIDN'T HAPPEN.

The superstitious had their minds
full to overlooking this week over the
prediction that the world was to come
to an end December II. 1t never hap
pened, but because of the mechanism
of the solar system being set for
strange action on that date the great
planet Jupiter, red Mars, Venus, Sa-
turn, little Mercury and the remote
Neptune having ranged themselves in
line between the sun and earth, while
Uranus continued the vast series on
the opposite side of the sun, some fool
ish astrologers started coming miXup
among the stars that set many to wOr-
rying. Many old time superstitiOnS
have been revived by this unusual con-
junction, and alarmists have even ap-
pealed to modern science to support
the theory that the combination threat
ems to produce huge sun spot and
cause electromagnetic disturbances on
the earth. Astronomers, however-as
pointed out by the January Popular
Mechanics MagaZine-state that there
is no connection between planetary at
traction and sun spots and that earth
jewellers will remain physically I'M
aware of the celestial combination.
The anxiety being now over, the
world may settle down to await the
coming of another fool prophet.

TEACHING AMERlCANISM.

The classes now being held in many
communities, attended by unnatural
lied men and women seeking citizen
ship, are the most powerful of the
many AmericaniZing forces now at
work.
We would all be better Americans
If we could attend these classes and
have our minds refreshed on the adj
vantages and blessings of this coun-
try and government.
The main idea eXpounded to appli-
cants for citizenship is that while our
country is not perfect, yet it offers
greater freedom and opportunity than
any other government.
Especially important is the empha-
sis that our government is mutual
agreement between the people and that
any undesirable or obsolete features
of it can be changed through the bal
lot box or by other peaceful means.
Methods of violence are not necessary
and will not be tolerated.
OF all instruction given citizenship
classes, the most vital deals with an
American citizens rightS-and duties.
First is the right to freedom. Then
there is the right to liberty in religion,
to freedom of speech and press, the
right to assemble freely without dis.
turbing the peace and the right to pc
tition public officers and obtain hear,
ings.
Fifth and sixth of fundamental
American rights are the right to fair
treatment if accused of crime and the
right to vote and hold office, the latter
fortunately being extended to include
women.
Duty is the fair price of right.
The citizens duties to his govern
ment-meaning his organized fellow
citiZens-are:
The duty of obeying laws, all of
which are subject to change at the de-
mand of the majority.
The duty of helping TO enforce the

ENDORSES DEMO-
GRAFT.

The speech of Governor Runyon, Re-
publican, Governor of New Jersey,
made at the testimonial dinner in
Jersey City last Saturday night, re-
vealed new condition existing at this
time in this state. At no time has a
party leader ever so far committed
himself in the manner the daily news
ing. Declaring that partisan politics
has ceased and that during the years
ahead of Governor-elect Edwards adj
ministration, Republicans as well as
Democrats would be standing by,
ready to make Governor Edwards adj
ministration the greatest and most
progressive that New Jersey has ever
had"
These be noble words, and show
that the impression Governor-elect
Edwards made before the people of
New Jersey of all parties must have
been most impressive as well as per-
suasive. His campaign started out
well, and, like that of Woodrow Will
son, made a Roadway as 1t progressed.
Mr. Edwards made a remarkable race,
and that he has been able to draw
from the acting Governor such line
tribute, speaks volumes for his char
acter and abilities. Governor Runyon'
also, is to be congratulated for his
liberality in treating so delicate sub
ject. He no doubt will bring down
the criticism of the radical wing OF
his party, but his broader view Will
meet with general appreciation from
all right-thinking people of all parties.
New Jersey certainly needs progress

now more than ever in order to clear
her escutcheon of the blots more re-

Famous Art Collection.

The unique collection of Chinese
works of art made by the late Ii Hung
Chang, one-time viceroy Of China,
which for years collectors tried vainly
to acquire, has finally been bought by
a Swedish syndicate. The purchase
price is understood to have been more
than a million krone (nominally about
$2SO,OOO), but the intrinsic value Of
the collection is incalculable.
Ii Hung Chang died in 1901. He
had a collection of works of art larg-
er than anything of its kind in the
empire. 1t included numerous old
paintings, bronzes Of great worth and
ancient ceramics. The bronzes date
from a time before Christ, and the
paintings were done from the tenth
to the twelfth centuries.

FEW SEE SECOND CENTURY
Not Many Claiming to Be Over One
Hundred Years of Age Can
Prove it.

Sea serpents being out of date, and
interest, there comes the recent story
Of Kentucky man who celebrated the
131st anniversary of his birth by taking
his first motor car ride.
When a report of this sort is in.
vestigated it usually is found to lack
proof.
Some years ago, at meeting of the
Actuarial Society of America. its
president, John X. Gore, said: 1.-THE
well-known cases of individuals COM
monty believed to have lived century
and a quarter and even much longer
have not in any instance been veri-
fed"
There is usually temptation to exag-
gerate the age Of extremely old per-
sons; often they do 1t themselves. Not
very long ago man in England, inter-
ested in the study of human longevity,
offered 5000 to any man or woman
living at the time who could prove
that he or she was 100 years old or
more. There were hundreds Of claim
ants, but In no case was irrefragable
proof submitted.
In point Of longevity, women are far
ahead of men. generally speaking.
They are more resistant to diseases
and they live longer. And yet women
are called the weaker SEX" So they
are, muscularly. but 1t Is manifest that
they are the stronger sex constitution
ally. They possess what biologists
term greater ''viability"-a superior
ability to survive.

Scaw Fell ri.s.

Scaw Fell Pike, Cumberland's
mountain summit, is to be the prop
erty of Englishmen in perpetuity. The
highest hill of England is the very
noble gift made by Lord Leconf1eld
to the men of Cumbria who fought in
the war, and as a token Of gratitude
to those who gave their lives for the
cause of the worlds liberty. Truly
gift in the spirit of Ruskin and one
which causes the Manchester Guard.
ian to utter deepest Appreciation
gift, it says, through which "even we
common people may get a momentary
entry into the ecstasies Of the poets
and see the earth and everything in
it mystically appareled with the glory
and the freshness Of Dream" Scaw
Fell Pike has the venerable distinction
of being among the most ancient
mountains Of Europe, outdistancing
the Alps in point Of years.

OUR HOUSE OF CARDS.

To the closer student of political
economy who looks afar into the future
and whose Imagination overlaps the
next half a century the League of Ma
lions appears a failure. Untried as it
was, the fates seemed to conspire
against it. All of the power and ideal
ism of Woodrow Wilson could not over
come the pressure of the mysterious
force that has worked against it from
the start.
And yet is this hidden force as mys-.
FERROUS as it appears? Is it not down
deep at the bottom a. partisan politics
affair here in America-in the United
States? Are there more of the cOun-
try's leading minds in favor of the
league than against it? No one knows.
This is a presidential year (1920),
and each party is playing for the adj
vantage before the people. Each
tant than the other. The Republicans
say that If the Democrats start out
with the league an accomplished fact
they will have great advantage.
They want other issues, but do not
know how to make them. With a par
ty majority in Congress, they have
blocked the treaty-nOt because the
treaty is not necessary, but because its
acceptance will give the Democrats an
advantage. All other important legis-
lation has been ignored. But, of
course, everybody knows this, and so
the Democrats, rightfully claiming
certain form of prestige because the
administration is Democratic are hold
ing on to every advantage, trying to
keep the league and treaty intact, be-
cause they believe it is right.
This thing of Am ~ican interests not
being protected is-ene treaty as it
stands is nonsense. 10 suppose that
President Wilson would have permit
ted our interests to become entangled !;
or to have conceived him of being a
party to connection that would in
Folve us in the future would be to
presuppose him a fool and a traitor.
There is not a reservation among the
many that have been proposed that
alter the original intent of the treaty,
except Lodges preamble, and that des-
troys it completely.
Maybe some other mysterious force
will bob up and save the treaty yet.
Last weeks closing hours saw it in a
game of battledore and shuttlecock.
The dignity with which the fate of a
world has been treated has no coun-
terpart in history. Nor was there
ever parallel in motives to Americas
humanity plea on entering the war.
1t was wonderful display of unselfish
idealty. Yet as things stand today, the
castles are overturned like house of
cards.

Santa Claus to Arrive at New York
Hippodrome on Shimmyina Elephan

This week after Santa Claus had
paid his advance visit to the New
York Hippodrome and reported for
his customary rehearsal, an innova-
ton was decided upon for this holiday
season. This year, at the Hippo
drome, there will be another novelty,
and the Hippodrome Riddles, both
children and children of employees,
performers and attaches of the big
playhouse will greet a Santa Claus
who makes his tour ON an elephant.
Albert Froom, who plays the role
of Shakespeare in the book story
scene in Happy Days." the current
Hippodrome attraction, will "double"
as Santa Claus, and attired in the
conventional red blouse, baggy trous-
ers and high black boots of the
ancient Christmas saint, but with the
modern innovation of fireproof whisk-
ers, will assist Jennie" the famous
shimmying elephant, in bringing joy
to Hippodrome people.

One Car to "a Persons.

There is motor vehicle in the
United States for every "a persons ;
in Canada the proportion is probably
one to each 80; in England, one to
200; in Denmark, one to 300, and
in France, Belgium, Holland, Switzer-
land and Germany about one to every
400, says the Compressed Air Maya
zine, New York. In 1917 it was .esti-
mated that Italy had one car to each
1000 of population; Portugal to each
1890, Spain to each 1900, Austria
Hungary, to each 1850, and Russia
to each 5000. In Australia there was
one for each 40 of population, and
in South America, as whole. one for
each 1,430.
Many a minor city in the United
States has more cars than the whole
of China or Japan.

A HOME CHURCH PAGEANT.

The beautiful religious pageant at
Trinity Grantwood Episcopal Church
last Sunday was fitting crown to the
recent nation wide drive for renewed
interest in the American Church and
which locally was so successful. The
little home parish needed just such an
awakening, and this happily conceived
play, in which real characters bore
names that symbolized the various
parts of the Book of Common Prayer,
presenting the purpose and the mission
of the church, was a most feeling me-
dunn through which to express as well
as to impress the depths to which re-
ligious ideals should go in order to
move men to better lives and to conse-
crate them to Gods service. If there
