At the beginning of a new year
the business man takes stock of his
assets and liabilities. Would it not
be a good plan for each individual to
do the same? We all have our
faults, even the best among us, in
going over our lives during the past
year no doubt found there many
things that were undesirable and
saw many ways in which we had
failed to take advantage of the OPP
portunities that came to us.
1t unwise to sign pledge or to
make declaration as to our future
actions, but If any progress is to be
made, we must resolve within our
selves to overcome certain obstacles
or to break certain bad habits.
In entering upon the new year.
ct US consider our slogan for a few
minutes: I'VE stand for pure life
through clean thought and action"
Clean thought and action--What a
multitude of sins we would elmi-
nate from our lives II we just re-
solved within ourselves that during
the coming years our every thought
and action would be clean.
If our thoughts were clean, we
would not repeat or even listen 10
that bit of scandal about our neigh
Dor; neither would we tell that vul-
gar story nor even let such stories
have place in our minds.
In order to promote clean
thoughts, we must keep ourselves
physically. mentally and morally
clean. To be physically clean. we
should battle frequently, breathe
pure fresh air, take hmealthful ex-
ercise, eat proper foods, drink plenty
of water and take the proper
amount ofo sleep. Tea, coffee, to-
bacco or alcohol should not be used
IN any form.
To be mentally clean. we must |
store our minds with thoughts that |
are of pure, elevating nature, by |
reading good books, conversing with |
men and women of high standards, |
and studying the beauties of nature
and art
To be morally clean we should |
guard our virtue as we would our
lives.
Then If we are physically, men
tally and morally clean. it will not
be difficult to so crowd our minds
with good that theer will be no place
Tor evil, and as the proevrb says,
AS a man thinketh in his heart, so
lie 81
A New Years Thought
There is no better place from
vhch to see heaven than a carpen-
er's bench, or a mason's wall or a
merchants counter, If the heart be
light.

"DRYs" MAY NOMINATE
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT

The entry of a prohibition can
didate in the Presidential race will
depend on the insertion Of a strict
enforcement plank in one of the
two major party's platforms, it was
indicated yesterday at a meeting
of the national committee OF the
Prohibition party at the Raleigh
Hotel.
Should neither of the two parties
draw such a plank a Prohibition
candidate will be named and will
receive the support of the party,
it was said After a, heated argu-
ment as to the date of it's conven.
ton, it was decided eventually to
hold the convention in Columbus
some time before the Republican
meeting in Cleveland. The definite
date will be announced later.

Free Scholarships.
It is Senator Fletcher's idea to
not only have free scholarships to
the institution, but to receive pay
ing students also.
AS we remarked before, every
thing is normal in Washington.
The hardy annual" has again been
introduced in Congress, the music
season has slowed up for the holi-
days. and everybody is happy.
But, seriously, we do hope Con-
gress will not pigeonhole this latest

Senator Fletcher's bill contains
the germ of a great project. Let's
stand up and root for him.

We reached this highly salts
factory conclusion today when
Joseph s. Edgerton. one of this
newspapers human dynamos who
writes pieces about Congressman
and their doings. rushed into our
cubby-hole and triumphantly laid
bit of paper on our desk.
Internationally. we may remark
that when Edgerton isn't lodging
gas attacks in the House. he is
worrying over the score of some
half forgotten opera. We often
wonder why he doesn't establish
new code, of procedure for news
paper men. How artistic it would
be for a journalist of operate ten
denotes to pop his question in
sharp, staccato recitatives. and then,
after the interview is concluded, to
bow himself out gracefully, singing
his thanks in a smooth, lyrical
aria.)
A Real Story.
Here's a real story" shouted
Edgerton, breathlessly. and ducked
for the door. And none too soon.
We agree with Edgerton it is q
story. A hardy annual. This is the
gist Of it:
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher has
an idea the Government should
a National Conservatory
of Music for the education of pu-
pills in music in all it's branches,
vocal and instrumental, and for
other purposes"
Accordingly he introduced a bill
in the Senate this week to provide
for the construction and mainte-
nance of such an institution, the
measure calling. for an appropriation
of 100000, to be disbursed under
regulations prescribed by the gen.
eral board of regents.
Senator Fletcher would have
branches Of the national conserva-
tory loca9ed in Washington City,
Florida and California (SenatOr
Fletcher halls from Florida.)
The executive headquarters shall
be located in Washington, according
to the provisions of the Fletcher bill.
The main conservatory shall be To-
Gated in accordance with the deci-
sion Of the general board of regents,
which board shall consist of the

MEXICO CITY MAYOR
DISCONTINUES BODY
GUARD FOR OFFICIALS
Old Customs Give Way Be,
fore Economy MoUe-
T;eat.

Mexico City, Jan. 13.-Mcxico City
is probably the only town in all Of
Amcric. which has provided a military
guard for its mayor and cOuncilmen,
and. since January /, this is a thing
of the past, having joined the other
relics of the middle ages which are
gradually being eliminated in Mexico.
This guard, consisting of 30 men and
n complement of officers, has had no
other duty than TO act as a guard of
honor TO the city officials and furnish
jobs TO a group Of the political hang
erSOn.
Previous municipal presidents have
continued it, apparently considering 1t
added dignity to the city adm,niStra-
ton, beside its offering an excellent
chance TO provide for certain depend
cnts, but the new head of the admin
istratiOn, PrietO Laurens, is of a de-
Cidcdly democratic turn of mind and
is even suspected of being strong rail-
cal in his sentiments, so he ordered the
guard be abolished. In disbanding the
guard, he stated that if the mayor
and counCilmCn needed a guard at any
time the city has an ample police
force TO draw upon, beside the suffi-
cicnt garrison of troops stationed in
the city.
To those who were opposed to the
maintenance of the guard, the removal
of it, commonly called the yellow
guard" is mainly welcomed from the
fact that it means an economy to the
city administration of about 5000 per
day. Taking its initiative from the
retrenchments practiced by the district
and national governments, the new
city government promises general
cutting of expenses in all parts of the
city administration. This is hoped
will operate to reduce the taxes here
tofOre levied by the administration,
which has had the appearance on its
face of taxing all industry to the
limit of its ability to pay.

Jews in Ukrainia Blamed for
Much and Made to Suffer Much

The bolsheyist authorities armed Jewish
villagers to enable them to defend them
selves and in many cases disarmed their
Christian neighbors.
For all this the government has de-
manded its price, and the price, in the
eyes of the religious Jews, is very
high-their religion. The history, the
traditions, the very language upon
which Judaism has built and preserved
itself for thousands of years, must go.
BY raising money among themselves,
and through gifts from the great Jewish
ORGANIZATIONS in America and Europe,
such as the All-Russia Jewish public
committee, the Jews in kiev are today
maintaining homes where $4,000 chill
dren left orphaned by the pOgrOms are
being trained. In these homes, the
state DEGREES, there must be no reli-
gious teaching. The use of Yiddish is
allowed, but Hebrew is taboo. At
tempts are made in the schools to pre-
serve separate Jewish life customs
and racial instincts apart from reli-
gion.
The treasures Of the Jewish syna-
gogues were seized this year for fam
inc relief like those of Christian
churches. The Jews do not hesitate to
declare that it is their fellow Jews
turned from religion who have become
their bitterest foes. 1t is the apostates,
they say, who denounce them and who
urge the authorities to imprison them
for the crime of teaching Hebrew, or
for entertaining the hope of the coming
again of the Jewish state.
Why Hebrew Is Forbidden.
GWhy do you make the class teach
ing of Hebrew illegal, while you permit
and encourage Yiddish" l asked one
prominent bolSheyist, himself a Jew.
why do you regard Zionism as
crime?" =.
"Zionism. he replied, ais political
creed. which aims at the building up of
a bourgeois state. We do not permit
the class teaching of Hebrew or OF
Jewish history, because Hebrew and
Jewish history is inextricably mixed
up with religion. Jewish history and
the whole Hebrew language are part
of their religion"
The Jews around Kiev are doing
their best to adapt themselves to their
new life. The joint distribution conf
mittee the American Jewish organlza-
ton which is helping here, is doing a
magnificent york. / say this not only
from what 1 have seen myself, but be-
cause of what relief workers of other
organizations tell me. Jewish societies
are helping the farm colonists to come
back. For n few hundred dollars theI
can be settled afresh on their lands,
with stocks Of cattle and farm imple-
ments and seed corn.
"And what of your religion?" l asked
some of the people. Are you giving It
up? Are you ceasing to teach Hebrew :"
One old man looked at me with
smile in which all the suffering and
patience and endurance of 1000 years
of tragic Jewish history seemed en-
bodied. I'VE have gone through per
secution before" he said. 1T is when
we are prosecuted most that We cling
most firmly to our faith. 1t Is when
prosperity and ease come that we are

Kaw City, Okla, Jan. 1S.-The Kaw
Indians here will observe the early
hours tomorrow morning with the great
est festival in the history of the tribe.
For the Kaws, hitherto the poor and
envious cousins of the Osages, the
richest Indians in the world, have
reached the turning of the way. Under
the leadership of the first woman chief
tain in the tribes history, Lucy Tyiap
Eads, they are entering on new era
which is expected to place them on an
equal footing with their wealthy neigh
bors before the end Of the year.
An oil well with a natural flow OF
more than 1000 barrels daily came in on
the Kaw reservation today.
The bleak hills which had brought
previously only a meager return for
grazing ground witnessed wild scenes
all day. Bids were put in for $1,000 an
acre for royalties in the first deals OF
the day and under the increased com
pensatiOn of continued arrivals is ex-
pected to take a jump before many
more hours.
