no sooner have we started on the
great adventure than that moment we
begin to live. Here on earth, where
for the time we must ''play house,"
the race is to the swift, the battle to
the strong. We may not all be fleet
of foot, nor powerful in build, but
we can play the game with hopeful
ness and confidence, unconquerable in
the conviction that truth and honor
are not yet gone, that love and human
brotherhood are not dying with the
passing year, but will live for us to
win the only prize in life worth hav-
ing, the prize of service.

THE MACHINE AGE

We are living in a mechanical age.
The business show recently held in
New York exhibited machines that
perform delicate work that once was
considered only possible through man
ual dexterity. One machine stamps,
seals, postmarks, stacks and counts
letters. Electric calculators strike
balance, and one device
has typewriter attachment which
makes accounts by hand unnecessary.
There is another machine for prepar-

1922

We raise our hats in reverence to
the passing year and say farewell.
Of its ills let US be forgetful; save
as they strengthen us for greater
effort in the year to come. For the
gladness it has brought let US feel
the warmth of thanks. 1t is not the
overwhelming passions which bring
fulness into life, but rather the little
joys and sorrows which mark our
passage day by day So as we reach
the crumbling milestone of the dying
year let US realize that with all its
seeming hardships it has stamped
upon us all the mark of some degree
of progress. We wave the parting
hand not without regret, but rather
as one thankful to the hand that whip
ped us into better manhood, each with
face turned outward toward the ris-
ing sun, determined, unafraid. To
often do we heed the melancholy ad-
monition, "No sooner do we take on
life than that moment we begin to
die" Facing the advent of the new
born year let US rather realize that

HUGE AUTO PROFITS

New York.-The general motors
corporation, manufacturers of auto
mobiles, will have surplus of $4O,-
100000 at the end of the year. This
will be in the treasury after all
charges and taxes have been paid and
sufficient sums set aside to meet divi-
dends on preferred and common stock.
The du Points, powder manufacturers,
are the largest share holders. The
financial position of the corporation
is declared to be thoroughly satisfac-
tory"

to the official attacked is manifest.
1t is refusing that official his day
in court. 1t will not do, and the house
judiciary committee will be justified
in using the sternest measures against
the man who made these charges and
refuses to let them be examined and
true verdict for or against the ac-
cused official returned"
That makes good reading for the
friends of the administration, but the
Herald isn't fooling the pjeople who
are not being influenced by the news
papers. They have other means of
getting information. The Herald
knows why Mr. Keller has withdrawn
from the judiciary committee, but it
will not give its readers the reason
or the facts. 1t would prefer to
shield a servant of privilege such as
Daugherty and condemn a champion
of the people like Keller. If we mis-
take not the Herald will eat its own
words by the time the ST. Paul con-
gressman gets through with the
/ o4+
The most serious charges Mr.. Kel-
Ter presented against Daugherty have
not been heard by the committee
Chairman Volstead seems to becontent
to magnify the Importance of the les
ser counts which, taken alone, do not
constitute impeachable offenses. The
judiciary committee consists largely
of lame duck" congressman, all
friendly and partial to Mr. Daugherty
and bitter against members of the
Keller habit of political thought
Every hearing revealed determi-
nation on the part of the committee
to rush proceedings through in short
order. No matter how good case
may be made against the attorney
general the temper of the committee
indicated to Mr.. Keller and his ad-
visers that "whitewash" for Daugh-
erty would be reported out to the
house during the present session when
the overwhelming republican major
ity, made up of nearly 100 'lame
ducks" can be expected to block an
impeachment trial of the attorney
general.
Samuel Untermyer became disgust
ed with the brazen attitude of the
committee, threw up his hands and
left Washington. Jackson H. Ralston,
attorney for Mr.. Keller, was quick to
observe the patent bias of the commit
tee, and the demeanor of several of
it's members who will be ex-congress-
men after March 4th next, and he
advised his client to ignore the hear
ings at this time. So far as the
prosecution is concerned the charges
against Daugherty will not be pressed
until the new congress convenes. Only
three of the IA counts against the
attorney general have been heard.
They pertained to the Burns appoint
ment, failure to enforce the safety
appliance act and the injunction
against the shopmen.
When Mr.. Daugherty's accusers are
given free opportunity to present
their full case to an unloaded COM
mittee, such administration papers as
the Duluth Herald, we predict, will be
kept busy apologizing for Mr.. Daugh-
erty instead of defending him as they
are now doing. And when that time
comes it will be interesting to watch
the acrobatic stunts performed by the
evening paper.-The Labor World.

CHARTER IS
 LIVE ISSUE
 IN ELECTION

George M. Cough1in. Democrat ana w. F. D. KilDatrick, Republican. are agreed on one issue of the campaign 1ocally-they both think the charter ought to be revised.
 MT. Coughhn Is a prominent Demo crat holding the office of director of public works. MT, Fitzpatrick is a Republican. and is again candidate for reelection as representative In the General Assembly.
 MT. Fitzpatrick says: ''Without question it is known to all that n chance in the city charter is needed. The only way that the citizens can express whether they believe that change should be made is by indicat- ing it in their vote on the charter question tom morrow. It is e1nperative that all should remember to vote on the question, otherwise the result will register only the opinion of m; nority."
 According to MT. Coughlin, tka charter question now is "a live Is- sue''
 "Charter revision has often been discussed he says. "but never was definite action taken. Here is the voters opportunity to express them selves on this highly important mat ter and it is their duty to vote on the question in order to guide the off, cials of the city.''

MAY DEVELOP KICKAPOO

Engineers in the employe Of Henry
Ford have been surveying the Wlscon-
sin and Kickapoo rivers to ascertain
their possibilities for water power, 1t
was announced here Friday. The OBJ
ject of the move is TO develop an cleo
tricity plant with view for the manu-
facture of zinc to be used in the NAM
ufacture of automobile tires.
The engineers are expected to look
over the Wisconsin river between Blue
river and the mouth Of the Wisconsin

For six months or more representa-

and miners of the zinc producing
mines about Platteville, Wis, and it
was said they have taken options on
certain properties which they will de-
velop if the plans already formulated
are not baked.
