A good American can help just now
by putting his respect for the law
strongly In evidence. For the law Is
the law. II 1t Is poor law, 1t should
be changed. But until 1t is changed,
IT should be obeyed-whether 1t re-
lates to the shooting Of game birds or
to the use Of liquor or to the speed
OF automobiles or to murder or to
anarchy. Many people who would
holly resent the charge that they are
anarchists take delight in evading the
laws and In making sport Of the laws.
Every thinking man must realize
that this Twentieth century civiliza-
alton is too complex to be sane, safe
and sober. Medical philosophers are
unanimous in declaring that we Amer
leans 1--we too hard and too fast; that
our rapid ways are harmful both to
the individual and to the race; that
we should slow up. We are, to use the
homely old phrase, burning che candle
at both ends. Men try to succeed In
business, to rule In politics, to be So
cial leaders-all at the same time.
To crowd dissimilar things together
has become national characteristic.
Our avocations are often as wearing
as our vacations; we play even harder
than we work. Thus to crowd two
or more lives into one is to borrow
of nature. She is hard creditor and
she always exacts payment.
One cannot, of course, indlct whole
people. There are still millions Of
sane, safe and sober people In Alneri-
ca. But society that demands or
even countenances such recklessness
Is In need of reformation. 1t would
be interesting-and startling-to know
how many men and women put them
selves in an early grave by going the
pace that kills.
"Of all sounds Of all bells, most
solemn and touching Is the peal which
rings out the old year. never hear 1t
without gathering up Of my mind to
a concentration of all the images that
have been diffused over the past
fered, performed or neglected, in that

exclaimed: I saw tho skirts Of the

Every nrst sf Jaaaary that we ar
rive at. Is an imaginary milestone on
the turnpieb track Of human life; at
once a resting place for thought and
meditation. and . starting place for

be either very good or very bad indeed.
And only to propose to be better Is

acknowledgment Of our need to be SO.
which is the first step towards amend

he who Is not better, Is worse"
