 We must now choose between the type of men who have faithfully fol- lowed the policies laid down by our forefathers and the type who bIindly promise impossible remedies for non- esisting afflications, merely to win a temporary popularity
 America has always prespered under party government, the only responsible government, and one in which the party in power is held answerable to the people for it's con- duct of their affairs.

Ramsay Macdonald Is
 Pleased With Outlook
By J. RAMSAY MACDONALD, M. p.

 LONDON, Jan. 2.-The British cleo tions have not only shown that the people of this country are turning to serious consideration of it's problems but that a new spirit of approaching them. We are getting more and more experiences and are beginning to see that mere material interest, however important and powerful it may be, must always be subordinate to human life. Therefore I look upon the 1923 prospects with hopeful heart. The destruction of the war and the even greater destruction of the peace has left us poorer than ever we have been, and has almost shattered the social and economic relations upon the smooth workings of which the ele
 mentary livelihood of millions of peo
 ple depend, and therefore our prob lens are to be many. But if they are faced in good courage and with a clear understanding of their nature we can overcome them, and the return of the most powerful Labor Party that has ever appeared in the House Of Commons in this country is proof that politics are returning to realities and that this new Parliament will

The legislation of the new year should be of real value and real service. for conservatives must see the handwrit- ing on the wall if they fail to carry out the demands of the people. It will be year of mass legislation in stead of class legislation, as has been the rule
 The past year may have brought but little progress to us as a nation, but I do not think it was a failure. The mistakes made and which the people held judgment upon last No vember should act as a tonic to our legislators this year. They cannot hope to make the same mistakes again and continue to serve the people.
 The reconstruction problems of the postwar period are rapidly being solved. There is a constant move ment toward normal conditions every where If the indications of prog ress in the new year mature the end of 1923 will find us much nearer na- tional prosperity than we have been since the war.
 I believe we stand before the world today recognized more than ever be- fore as the champion of freedom among mankind. We enter the new year more secure than ever before in the friendship and confidence of the nations of the world. I am an optim- ist, and I believe in my country ana my future. .,j ...

Senator Watson Sees
 "Confused Situation
By SEN. JAMES E. WATSON Republican, of Indiana

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The out look for the new year, presents q con- fused situation to the keen ob- sever. Nothing is certain save that strange events will come to pass, events fraught with the greatest in terest and possibly with the gravest peril to the American people.
 The policy which permits indi- viduals to rise to power, men who place personal qualification above the good of their country, will, if car ried to it's logical results, prove dis astrous to the nation. It is very evident the point where we must

Norris Says Election
 Augurs Well for 1923
By SEN. GEORGE w. NORRIS Republican of Nebraska)

WASHINGTON, Jan 2.-The com mon people of our country have cause to rejoice this New Years.
 The increasing independence of the patriotic, thoughtful American citizen is a cause for thanksgiving, and that he has come to assert his independ- ence in national politics cannot be denied after the verdict of last Mo- vember's election. This growing in dependence is an omen of good for the nation and it augurs well for the new year.
 Whatever we may think of the re- suit of the recent election we can rejoice that the American voter shows a remarkably increased tenden- cv to throw off the yoke of partisan ship. One of the great evils of our Government has been the tendency Of the ordinary person to follow blindly the dictates and commands of the self-appointed, selfconstituted party leaders.
 With the voter showing independ- ence. progress in national legislation based upon more progressive ideals and more thoroughly in line with the wishes of the people, cannot be denied. I think a great step toward this kind of legislation will be made in the new year.
 Better government and increased happiness must come when the voter shows his independence and his free dom from control of self-constituted influences. Independent and conscl- entious law makers will bring hap piness and contentment to the people

Borah Wants to Break
 Away From War Fears By SEN. WILLIAM E. BORAH
Republican, of Idaho)


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--I should like to see the year 1923 made glori- ous by one great achievement - a moral achievement - the breaking away from all the fears and passions and intolerance left behind by the war.
 The aftermath of war is in some respects a severer test of peoples character than war itself. If we could put behind us the bitterness, the hates, the spirit of vengeance so prevalent as a result of the war it would be an achievement making for happiness, for prosperity and for peace.
 When the great Civil War closed our country was given over to the bitterness and to the hates naturally born of civil strife It was the sublime teachings of Lincoln which helped to banish these passions from the hearts of Americans. Had those who wanted to establish military government over the South succeeded we would never again perhaps have had a re- united country.
 And we will never have reunited family of nations so long as the pres ent policies based on fear and force obtain.
 The world needs a different creed and must have it if it is to be saved

La Toilette Glad to
 See People in Power
By SEN. ROBERT M. LA TOILETTE
 Republican of Wisconsin,


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-The year 1923 opens bright with promise for further progress toward the solution of the greatest single problem of our time-the regaining of control of the Government by the people of the Unit, ed States
 We are in period in which reac- tionary, predatory forces are fight, ing desperately to continue in the enjoyment of special privileges built up over long period of time.
 The American people in 1922 struck a smashing blow for truly representa- tive government at Washington. I hope to see in 1923 the same measure of progress made toward this goal.
 The masses of the people are keen ly alive to the economic and political evils which oppress them, and they are determined to obtain through con- stitutional means appropriate reme- dies for those evils.
 Progressives in Congress and in State Governments will be under a great responsibility within the next twelve months. The people look to them to formulate a sound construc- tive program dealing with transporta- tion, credit, marketing and other agencies affecting the daily life of the people, which, under representative government, should be made to func- tion for the benefit of the many rather than for the selfish and unjust enrichment of the few.
 The year 1923 will inevitably bring line of cleavage between men in public office who are devoted to the service of the common people and those who seek to protect and serve the few who enjoy special privileges at the expense of the mass of their fellow citizens.
 We may safely rely in 1923 upon the faith of the fathers of our coun- try that the American people in the end will use their political power in their hands wisely, effectively and patriotically in working out the great problem which now confront them.

Stabilization Is Need,
 Totel Manager Thinks

 Pennsylvania, New York.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-In my opin- ion the prospects for a volume of business in all lines are exceedingly good for 1923. What is most to be desired, of course, is a stabilization of conditions so that affairs will be of an even keel and so far as possible We shall not have sudden ups and downs. It seems to me that the up ward trend in the cost of labor and material which accompanies the re- vival of business is unhealthy and un- fortunate. If it is persisted in I be- lieve, in the long run, it will not re- suit for the good of the country.
 I feel that these factors in business should be stabilized and kept within more reasonable bounds. However, l am optimistic The outlook for next wear is far better than it was at the opening of 1922.

Coolidge Impressed by
 Our Religious Conduct
By HON. CALVIN COOLIDGE,

ny T1oN. C0LVlN COoE1D0Cy Vice-President of the United States
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--The lead ing characteristic of our country this New Year is it's adherance to right eous principles applied with sound common sense. Under this policy there has been a steady and in- creasing progress, which must con- tinue through the new year.
 Enterprise and Government have co-operated to relieve the people of unnecessary burdens and restore prosperity. Industry and agriculture have been encouraged. Crops have been bountiful. Employment at good wages is plentiful. The great mass of the people are devoted in their re ligious faith and firm in their main tenance and support of those insti- tions of freedom which we cherish as peculiarly our own.
 In no other land are there like blessings. This is our heritage. It is secure as long as we remain a right eous people.
 When all around there is unrest, un, certainty and strife, America re- mains vigorous and self-reliant, peace full, prosperious and secure-the hope of the world.
 For the perpetuation of these con- ditions Americans must stand firm in the new year. They must abide in their religious faith. They must keep their respect for authority. They must support the Constitution and render obedience to the laws. They must continue steadfast of purpose, exemplifying the homely virtues of honesty, industry and thrift, which are the foundations of all character. To these must be added toleration, mercy and charity.
 These made America. These will preserve America.

 been marked by striking contrasts in the respective points of view O American and European statesmen business men and others prOminen in the political and industrial life O. the two continents.
 Optimism, tempered only with spec ulation that Aemrican prosperity may be qualified somewhat by European depression, is the predominatine strain in the prognostications o1 leading citizens of the United States
 A trend toward dire forebodings for the fate of Europe crops up ire pressibly in many of the expressions from across the ocean.
 Americans foresee an era of pros perity, Britain a somewhat dubious outlook. Europe enters the New Year still clinging to the hope of further assistance from America.
 One notable exception is seen in the statement of the Right Honorable Sir James Craig, Bart, M. P., Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, who points to the peace that reigns in Ulster and declares that the country looks upon the New Year with hope and confidence.
 Another is that of Andrew Roth, stein, representative of Soviet Russia in Great Britain, who says that the Russians are Having the coming year with confidence"

Soon he came to a little creek

Coyote climbed up on some rocks
and with a great leap sprang
from the rocks into a big oak
tree.
Like a tight.rope walker, he
balanced himself. Ano as nice1y

walked right out to the end os

After a good rest, old Mr.. Coy

BY this time the sun had come
up. Old Mr.. Coyote knew that
when the ground dried up It
would be hard for the dogs to
catch his scent. So this time he
took a good rest and then got up
and barked as impudently as he

SEPAR ATE
SKIRT
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

f" HE separate skirt is having
a distinct vogue in the
summer drobe. All
sorts Of materials have been
drafted and materials heretofore
only used regularly for wraps
are appearing darinsly as smart
separate skirts.
The wrap-around model runs
close rival to the graceful beauty
Of the 1pleated models. Tan
hOmespun double crossed by red
is used for a clever wrap-around
model suitable for sports wear.
The material is simply nemmed
with a deep hem, and wrapped
around the figure tapping at the
side with a finished fold. It is
buttoned with several large red
bone buttons and buttonholes,
and attached to a band.
Skirts of this simple style,
made up. in many heavy wooden
materials, are not only plaided
but striped or plain. One uses
the materials on the width for
the length Of the skirt and this
makes the skirt seamless. Ep0nge
or ratine IL suitable for the wrap
Ground, and 80 are the mannish
tweed mixtures.
For a pleated skirt, three yards
10 usually necessary. Again you
will find 1t covenient to use
your material, the width for the
length Of the skirt, although this
is not always possible with
striped fabrics. If you turn the
hem, you may have 1t pleated for
a small sum, and when it is
closed at the back and put on a
skirt bolt, your skirt will be
done very quickly. You know, of
course. that you can buy skirt
bands all ready-to.use, with riV-
Gted hooks and eyes, in your ex-
act measurement.
Many girls OF slim figures find
1t convenient to sew the separate
skirt to q lining, to prevent 1t
from slipping or saGginE. A ban
deau with shoulder straps may
be used, and 1t 10 not always
necessary to leave an opening
under the left arm. However. If
you are large. 1t will be neces-

lining, but this may be at the
