TIE NEW YEAR
"The year is dying in the night,
Ring out wild bells, and let him
die"

"The year is dying in the night,
Ring out wild bells, and let him
die"
With these lines, Alfred Tennyson
introduced the noble New Year song
which forms a part of the famous
"In MemOriam". In these verses the
poet dwelt upon the idea that "old
forms of party strife" 1.-The feud of
rich and poor" false pride" "the
lust for gold" "the wars old old" !"
should be "rung out" by the New
Year bells. expelled from our lives,
and should be replaced by "nobler
modes Of life.
New Years resolutions are look
ed at with some scorn in these So
phisticated days. Yet here we have
one of the worlds most inspiring
leaders, who in these deathless
verses, goes over the faults of our
frail humanity, and suggests that
the New Year should be taken as
the occasion for getting rid of them.
And the marvel of il is, that human
ity could shake off these old errors
and wrongs if ii only would, and if
it did so, life would be far happier
for everyone.
Unfortunately most of those who
make New Year resolves, soon for
get them. But people who accom-
plish worth while things, are always
good resolutions. They
make them every few days. Many
of them they fail to keep, but many
Of them they do adhere to, and as
result advance to higher levels of
happiness and success.
New Years day is celebrated by
all nations as a day Of happiness.
But the year will bring happiness,
only in so far as people deserve it.
II they do not act any more worthily
in 1882 than they did in 1881, they
can't expect any more happiness.
The mere fact that we date our let
ers with II new numeral brings no
The newness must extend to our I
conduct and habits, and it must get i
id of some of the old faults that |
rave weighed us down. We must
Ittain the "nobler modes of life" of
which the poet speaks.

PERHAPS the most amazing sit
uation in this queer world, is that
nearly one quarter of the earth's
people, consisting of the 4OO,OOO,OOO
population of China, are without any
national government. At this writ
ing the entire national government
has resigned. The country is har-
ried by hordes of bandits, and what
semblance of government exists is
exercised by fighting generals who
keep the country in state of civil
war. China attempted to copy the
institutions of modern democracy
without giving the people education
and intelligence enough to govern
No government will run
itself, truth the American people
do not fully realize even yet.

lifetime of most men who read this

grave and deep apprehension; never

I'm France the political caldron

cloud, dark and silent upon the hor-

are yet to be tried more sorely, in
coping with the vast and deadly In

turbed relations in China.

man can feel an Indifference (Which,
happily, no man pretends to feeD in

as yet mainly commercial; and if
we are only to lose money, and by
painful poverty to be taught wis

need seriously to despair. And yet
the very haste to be rich, which is
the occasion of this widespread ca

the moral forces with which we are
to resist and subdue the calamity.
Good Friends-Let our conduct

eve desire that everybody shall
read this editorial. 1t touches a
vital and civilizing cord. Read and
think):
A boy from Melrose, Massachu-
setts, and his dog "Jaugus", have
won national prize competition as
the best typical American boy and
dog. One of their rewards was a
luncheon at the White House at
Washington as President HoOver's
guest.
This incident has caused a thrill
in millions of boy hearts that prize
their dogs more than almost any
thing in life. If boy feels that his
dog is abused or neglected, he is cut
to the quick, and he resents it with
burning Indignation.
Theoretically every boy ought to
have a dog. 1t seems to be kind
of essential element in boy develop
ment, a stage through which he
should pass. 1t has been held that
every boy should have an experience
keeping rabbits and chickens, and if
so he should also have his expert
ence of keeping dog. This ideal
can't be realized in the larger places,
where people live too closely for
dogs to have any normal life. In
smaller and suburban and country
towns, Tower is easier to handle
He can have chance to speak his
mind and carry on his various lines
OF business without too much tr0u-
BILE with the neighbOrs.
But when boy is given charge
of dog, he should not undertake it
solely for his own pleasure. He
should feel that he accepts a GER
tain responsibility. 1t is up to him
to see that the dog is well fed, and
that he does not suffer from any
neglect If he allows his dog to be
hungry or thirsty, he is unworthy of
his trust, and the dog should be
given to someone who is more
1t is also up to him to train the
log, to correct him for his faults,
and not allow him to become rough
and unmannerliy creature, as SO
many of the dogs are. If boy at
ends to these duties, the companion
ship of a good dog seems to bring
jome added strength and vigor, and |
through it he learns something of |
low to carry responsibilities.

tee. The, convention dhairman ruled that the 24 votes of the ldegeation would be counted for Roosevelt, stat ing that the action of the Minnesota convention could not be nulliied.
 Resuming the sballoting, all again went well until New York State was reached, ,an in which much factional strife was shown, although the poll seemed to indicate that Alfred -E. Smith led in the poll of that State.
 The first ballot of the convention, taken at about 8 o'clock in the morn ing, showed 630 votes for Roosevelt, 2O4 for Smith, the remainder scat tered among the favorite sons. In the following ballot the votes of the Garner supporters, numbering over a hundred, were thnown to Roosevelt, wcihh, with other scattering votes, made the latter a decisive winner.
 An outstanding feature of the con- vention was the decided stand taken in the platform on the matter of pro- hibitien. This calls for absolute re- peal of the prohibition amendment, that the question of prohibition be left to State regulation, asks that conventions of the several States. be called at an early day for definite de- cision, and asking early modification. This plank in the platform was car- ried by sa vote of .964 ito ,218, a vote which leaves no doubt as to 4the wishes of the people on that particu- lar1y 0bne1iaus enaeasure.
