The first object of free people IS
the preservation of their liberty, and
liberty is only to be preserved by
maintaining constitutional restraints

Nothing is more deceptive or more

simplest governments are despotisms;
the next simplest, limited monarchies,
but all reublics, all governments IF

and give many positive and many
qualified rights. In other words,
they must be subject to rule and reg

the rural press complains Of vanish

that Christmas tree harvesting and

What happened this year is plain

So this year the memory OF the

stead of profits, there were losses.
This being the case, economic law

WE OWE LOYALTY

n ERFECTION may not exist
in this world, but so far as a
government can give liberty
and protection to people in conjunc-
ton with freedom of thought and ac-
ton, the United States has gone fur
Their than any other country. True
Americans should be thankful every
day for a government that makes it
possible for US as people to devel-
op and enjoy the spiritual and ma
terial advantages which are ours.
While we should be tolerant of the
ideas and opinions of others, We
should not be led astray by doctrines
preached by persons who, lacking in
formation and understanding Of the
principles which have made this ma
ton great, would substitute schemes
and theories which can only detract
from, rather than add to, the ad-
vantages and liberties which we nov
enjoy. The year just past has given
us much to be thankful for as we'll
as to ponder over, and 1926 offers
US an opportunity to prove our thank
fulness by greater loyalty than we
have ever shown before.

THE MAGIC OF TIME

WY HY did men suddenly deter

w hates and open their eyes to
the light of understanding Is there
something potent in the magic OF
time itself?
The year stands out as a time of
reconciliation as definitely as 1924
marks the beginning of the great
period of destruction. And yet moth
ing was done in 1925 which could not
have been brought to pass in 1914
if men had been ready then.
December witnessed the signing of
the Locarno Treaty, which is simply
a pledge that the dominant races OF
Europe have kindly feeling for one
another. Sir Edward Grey's efforts
in 1914 were directed toward moth
ing less.
Not until 1925 was nearly ended did
the North and South Irishmen and
their British neighbors find it in their
hearts to make the concessions es-
sential to an enduring peace. For
centuries opportunities for this tri-
umph of good will had come-anJ
had gone.
