+; For most Of us the memory Of the
past is a chamber of discomfort. Let
therefore the old year bury from
sight it's story Of sin and sorrow and
failure. Let there be sincere repent
ance for the follies of the past, and
then let new man step forth to meet
with hope and determination the glad
New Year which God desires shall be
blessed year for every child of
: earth. When God forgives. He for
! gives utterly. He casts mans sins
+: Unto the depths Of the sea-" Why
then should memory thrust it's hooked
pole into the sea to dredge the bot
tom and bring up by the locks some
pale memory which God has plunged
: into the ocean of forgetfulness? Mans
; life Is not in the past, but In the
! days to come, for our times are In
! His hand.
e; And how many Of US are waiting
! for the opportunities Of the coming
year? With how many of US is it the
: unuttcred hope that tomorrow may
: be free from the sins and the mis-
takes Of yesterday I pray God that
: for you it may be so. Your times are
In His hand, and let your Father
shape the new year for you; let Him
rule it, and strive with the help of
the Spirit to walk the way Of His
commandments. Forgetting the
things that are behind. let us press on
for the prize Of the high calling in
Christ Jesus"
The passing year also must remind
us that there will come last year for
each one Of us. Perhaps this coming
year is your last. Are you therefore
ready to see the curtain rise upon
eternity2 Are you now ready to hear
the midnight cry, and to enter into
the marriage supper Of the Kings
Son? Our times are in Gods hand,
and no man knoweth what day or
hour he may be called from his labor.
Though we live to be counted among
the oldest Inhabitants We must depart
at last. Others have gone before us
and are going every day, and yet we
seem SO eager to forget our own NOR
tally. Nay, let US rather look for
ward with anticipation, believing that
God will then give US q New Year
which shall be without SIN and tears
and sorrow and pain, where love shall
rule, and where happiness shall be
complete in the fullest service to our
God.
The New Year bells will soon be
ringing. Do not fail to make some
personal preparations for it's coming.
Make resolutions for the future on
; the basis of your experience of the
past. Every heart knows it's own
needs, and its own weaknesses. Re
not discouraged by past failures. but
pray to God earnestly to help to fu-
: ture successes. Take this New Year
as holy gift from gracious Father
/ and begin to live it carefully and
:prayerfully. Do not strive to carry
the burdens Of future months, but live
each day as If it were the last and
the best. In spite of all the Ills which
we see In the world today. let us be-
lieve that the New Year will be a
; blessed year to all mankind, and let
each one of us do our uttermost to
make it so. May God look upon US
all in mercy, and may He let this
New Year
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust Of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars Of old,
Ring In the thousand years Of peace.

A shinina Exceptien

So people have yielded to the temptation make while the making is good'-who though previously good citizens have become the most con sceneless profiteers that it is refreshing now and then find or hear of who hold himself restraint stick old standards of decency Rent profiteers have become the most shameless. People who are business who depend upon the patronage of the public bound by at least one limitation-the need of continued patronage They are wise quite kill the golden egg lay ing goose But the rent profiteer has such limi- tations His attitude toward his victim is that of the highway robber-he expects only one chance at him. As soon as victim despoed and disposed of he look for another.
 Accordingly, we relieved by printing the following from the Windsor (Canada) Star:
 Col. F. IT. Laing believes in practical patriotism and an example he has this week may interest and inspire other owners of estate in the border cities The colonel refused highly satisfactory of fers for four of his houses because he believed the tenants rights. More than thirty persons depending upon these for shelter would have been affected and forced had the sales been made.

suppIementaI censuses

Speaking of supplemental censuses and recounts. have yet hear of the first that paid over expenses. they honestly conducted they result n adding here there only the of few citizens who have been overlooked by the enumerators. Now and then there is gross negh- gence there in Phoenix in 1910 when whole addition missed and rather by accident was in- cluded after the figures had been made We had believe that the negligence of the enumera- tor that year cost Phoenix 2ooo or 5000 names. But these cases and usually easily discovered that the negligence be repaired be- fore the figures are sent
 We have known figures to be greatly swollen by supplemental counts every case. it was afterward developed that there had been scienceless padding. That requires padding ten hence and every years thereafter, sometime there will be the appearance of decline.
 There were several instances of that st-t in the census of 1900. Two conspicuous offenders the cities of Minneapolis. Minnesota, and St Joseph Missouri The peculiarly and above board. The original the city, believe population of about S8,OOo. St. Joseph a peculiar city. It from the earliest times the greatest wholesale town west of Chicago and probably occupies that position yet. There pride figures anything else except it's overshadowing wholesale business which had it's origin in the genius old Joseph Roubidoux whose extended into the wIds of the north the west and the southwest.
 Retail business Ianguished the shade of wholesale business. estate business which flourshing other towns from the early eighties on. had hardly place St. Josephs acti- t yities
 But previous to 1900 some new blood was in E fused. A real estate boom started and the mem < bershp of the Board of Trade was changed the old fossils being replaced by real estate who wanted to attract population The chief boomer of them all < was made president the board. When the census E figures were announced the board through the con- gressman of that district secured supplemental 7 census and bureau sent agent along to E pervise the Union Station with brass band and great eclat A large delegation of boomers was there ostensbly offer him the free dom of the city but really to make him a prisoner Already 9 great banquet in his honor spread at the leading hotel.

Perrin against other applicants for leases Of state lands to which he lays claim that matter will be taken up in a special meeting of the land board to be held May 25. That. however. will have nothing to do with the charges which Dr. Perrin has made against the com missioner, of violations of the law in volved in the same transaction.
 At this meeting also it will be de- termined whether the CSila Bend school section shall be sold as originally planned or subdivided into town lots in accordance with a petition signed by citizens Of that district.
 This will be one of five propositions which will claim the attention of the members of the board at the special session set at the regular meeting yes terday. Aside from the reading of the minutes of previous meetings. which were approved and signed by the gov. ernor nothing further was accom- plished other than setting the date foi the final adjustment of unfinished business.

The Democratic Senatorial Fight

The usual seasonal temperature of the valleys of Arizona during the months of June, July and Au- gust is to be augmented, informed by a pecu- Iarly white heated contest between Hon. Marcus A. Smith and Superior Judge R. c. Stanford of this county for the democratic senatorial nomination It predicted by those ''in the know that Judge Stanford's declaration of will be issued within the ensuing forty-eght hours and that soon there after his mobized forces will be moving against Mir position which said be less strongly en- trenched than formerly.
 There was a tentative announcement of Judge -Stanfords candidacy after it made known that former Governor Hunt had been appointed min ister Siam. Later. when it appeared that con frmation of his nomination doubtful friends of Judge Stanford said that his candidacy would de- pend upon solution that doubt, then it believed to be probable that MT. Hunt would seek the himself.
 That his nomination would be confirmed, it was yesterday. however. appeared to be made tain by the report the other day of the foreign relations committee recommending it. Though word had reached the city that two or three democratic senators would oppose it. the republicans who voted for the report. expected to sustain it. that the former governor regarded the fully accredited minister plenpotentiary and envoy traordinary to the Kingdom Siam. It said that Judge Stanford will make shortly, formal nouncement of his candidacy.
 It is too to make estimate that could be regarded of the comparative strength of Mr. Smith and Judge Stanford. The latter 1t is be- leved will receive the bulk support organized labor perhaps not because it loves him but Mr. smith less Yet it hardly be believed that he will have the solid support of labor. In this county where nearly one-third of the vote of Arizona is cast, it be expected that Judge Stanford will roll up a tremendous majority Mir. Smith. But there here, elsewhere. in this state, many residents long standing who find it difficult break a habit formed a generation ago, stubbornly persisted in since of voting MT. smith.

VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC
 TROUBLE IN ARIZONA

Under the new railroad act, the in- terstate commerce commission is send ing requests to the various state bodies asking their cooperation and urging the furnishing of information relative to all things that adversely affect the operation of the roads, such as car shortage, labor troubles and traffic congestion which is usually a result of one of these other causes.
 A telegram was received yesterday by the state corporation commission asking for frequent reports concerning these matters. There is not much that Arizona can contribute. for it has

very little trouble of this kind though it is a sufferer from Arrangements elsewhere. For instance, there is a record of a shipment of sugar sent from San Francisco to Phoenix on May ,. It should have been brought to Phoenix in five days. but it was not until May r that it arrived. It is found that the congestion occurs in the railroad centeFs, Los Angeles being a troublesome spot to pass.
 Much freight from the east is de- layed in consequence of freight con- gestion or car shortage. There is no shortage of cars here except stock cars. so that the only exports from the state affected are those of the live stockmen.
