Keeping Faith

Yes, yes, we'll do the best we
can to keep our New Year
pledges. and look with scorn on
any man who loses nerve and
hedges. Temptations every hour
assail. and say, "Nour pledges
hurt YOU" but up to date our
vows prevail. and we are strong
for virtue. We made our vows
with main and might. eschewing
habits cheesey, and if our friends
would treat us right. our tri-
umph would be easy. If men
would say to us. Gee whiz !!
You brave repentant sinners,
we know how hard the struggle
is, but surely you'll be winners,
weed be inspired to carry on, to
press the moral battle; alas. the
words of James and John are
prone our souls to rattle. Too
cynical are John and James;
they take it all for granted that
we've gone back to those cheap
games from which we GALL
wanted They laugh at all the
sacred VOWS DER which we brood
and ponder; it is a shame the law
allows such guys at large to
wander. For they discourage
soulful jays who would Old sins
abandon. and when they've
ruyed us. forty ways, we have
40 vows to stand on. Oh. read
CT. as you travel by the high
ways and the hedges. don't
Josh or jeer the earnest guy

near future unless the federal re- serve banking system rushes to the aid of all the overloaded banks in the country. revival of bad business conditions is predicted within the next six months, but the depression may last longer and get worse if un- employment increases. One feature of the situation is caused by the slump in prices of farm products, but this was to be expected as result of general liquidation
 It will be the job of congress, by wise and far-seeing financial and tariff legislation, to overcome the de- pression in so far as legislation can accomplish it. Even now congress is working hard with the emergency tariff bill to ease the situation. The next congress, therefore, will first l bend all it's energies toward solving the fiscal and tariff problems, SO as to aid the population to quickly re- cover from the existing depression. It is this which will cause Mir. Hard ing soon after his inauguration to call the special session of the new congress.
 Present conditions in tils country
 are only repeating history. After the Civil war practically the iderti- cal conditions prevailed as exist at this time. After the war with Spain the same conditions existed though the situation was not as difficult as after the end of the Civil war. His torians are fond of telling this gener- ation of Americans of the terrible business conditions that existed after the Revolution of 1775. After all of these wars, however, when the country overc2me the results of the disturbance, long periods Of prosper ity followed. As soon as the country recovers from the staggering blows caused by the World war similar con- ditions of greet prosperity will pre- vail.
 Congressional economists say that the present situation was to have been expected, and as the disturbance caused in the life of the nation was severe and profound, because of the magnitude of the participation of the United States in the World war, so will the reaction when prosperity comes be greater than ever before. There is no cause for alarm, and it is the belief of senators and repre- sentatives that when the country be- gins to get back to normal there will ensue a long era of good times that will be the best ever experienced in the United States.
