PREDICTS A REVOLUTION

Leon Trotsky, famous Russian
revolutionary exile, predicts that the
United States will see terrible revo-
luton.
This is a direful prospect, but our
people cannot see any signs of it now.
They had a revolution in Russia be-
cause the welfare of the common peo-
pie was ignored by the masters of
that land. The poor suffered without
hands being lifted to help them. In
our country it is very different, with
the government and taxpayers pour
ing out their money to relieve dis
tress. Revolutions are caused by
popular hunger, and the utmost re-
sources of the government are used
in our country to prevent such mis-
fortunes. Revolutions develop out of
empty stomachs, which our people
try to prevent.

NEWSPAPER OBLIGATIONS

President Roosevelt, in a letter tc
the st. Louis Post Dispatch, referred
to the obligation which the newspa-
pers owe to their readers.
Newspapers perform a double
role. They are first a commercial
venture, started to enable people to
earn a living and obtain legitimate
profits. Also they are a community
enterprise, essential to social and
business progress.
The newspaper enters into what
is practically a contract with its
readers and the public, to supply
the news with comments on the
same. 1t undertakes to promote the
progress and welfare of the COM
munity.
Newspaper men do not plod
through their daily tasks like old
horses at the pillow, dragging through
their daily rut without taking an in
terest in it. They are more like the
football player, who is keenly alert
to win every possible play. Newspa-
per men usually work with intense
energy and enthusiasm.
The newspaper which fails to re-
port events accurately and thorough
ly, or which does not throw itself
with all its power into the campaign
for community progress. has fallen
down on it's obligation. If its COM
ments on life and events are unfair
or distorted, it is falling short.
The relations between newspaper
and public are not one sided, but arc
reciprocal. When newspaper per-
forms we'll its functions as a distri-
butor of news and opinion, and a
promoter of progress, it is up to the
public to give it hearty support. II
it is not well supported, the public
is in the position Of some person
who desires to buy some essential
article, but is not willing to pay
what 1t costs. The community suf-
fers a heavy loss when that attitude
prevails.

Milford, Friday, December 80, 1888
OLD YEAR AND THE NEW

The coming of one more New Year
brings us up against the great ques-
tion as to what we are doing with
our time. Said the Psalmist in the
Scriptures: $50 teach us to number
our days, that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom" Such wise
philosophy may be thought by some
to be out of date now. Still it does
not pay to depart from the paths of
wisdom, through which alone one can
reach a satisfactory life.
One should be able to look back
at a year that has passed, and feel
t has accomplished some useful re-
suit. People should be able to see
that they know their jobs better, they
understand more thoroughly how to
carry on business transactions.
They should be able to see that
something has been accomplished
toward solving the personal prob
ems that confront us all. Any big
question mark that loomed up before
is on January l, 1888, should not
look so formidable and terrifying as
It did at that date. The 365 days
should have brought some r1per wis
dom that has helped us solve those
difficulties.
1888 has not been so good for some
of us. Such ones may be glad enough |
to see the year go. If they will look
at their friends and neighbors. they /
can find some whose troubles are |
worse.
AS we look into 1889, not so many
people as formerly will make those
high sounding resolutions in which
people promised themselves to for
sake all foolish ways We should not
wish to enter the year without some
hope of making gains in its IL
months. Some of the great questions |
of life should be answered during /
that period, some forms of weakness
should be conquered, some new and
better ways found for reaching the
goals to which humanity looks for
ward.

THE STATESMEN ASSEMBLE

The statesmen chosen to govern the
affairs of the American people have
been packing their grips and setting
out for the National Capital. Their
terms begin January 8. They prob
ably have eight solid months of work
ahead of them.
Our people can be thankful that in
a world where relationships control
vast populations, we still have a truly
democratic legislative body. The
people are dumb and silent in
more than half the world. They fear
to express their thoughts. If they
do, mysterious visitors. armed with
awesome power may call and escort
them to some tragic concentration
camp, or send them into an exile of
tragedy and perhaps death.
In America, praise be to the Lord,
the people can still speak their minds
without fear. Anyone who feels that
the government bears down too hard
on him can journey down to Wash
ington, speak his little piece. and no
one will interfere. The worst he has
to apprehend is that the jokers may
laugh at him. Or that his words will
be so lost in the babel of the nations
talk, that they will attract no atten-
tion.
If any considerable number of peo-
pie speak their little pieces, they are
heard. Such voices are like the wind
in the treetops that tells of the COM
ing storm. The election of 1910 is
only % months away. Those who
speak at or to Washington are the
forerunners of the greater voice that
will speak in tones of thunder at
that later date.
The statesmen have our best wish
es. They have great problems to
solve. Many new laws have been
passed, in the hope of abolishing bad
conditions. The greatest problem of
all, that of finding satisfactory work
for all the people, is not yet solved.
1t demands immediate attention.

WHAT Is DEMoCRACYg

A coast to coast broadcast wa
given a few days ago in which lead
ers in various fields of activity ex
pressed their idea Of what demo
cracy is, answering a question as tC
the meaning Of the world which d
/ girl OF 16 had asked.
Abraham Lincoln defined demo-
cracy as government of the people
by the people, and for the people.
Such government expresses faith
in the ability of a people to govern
themselves, and therefore 1t calls
for universal suffrage.
Some will say that democracy
means equality of opportunity. 1t is
not so easy to provide absolute
equality Of opportunity. There is no
equality in human nature. Some
have greater gifts. some more ener-
gy, some have worked harder for ed
ucation. When people have mani
tested these good qualities, they are
going to count more In the world. Il
is a greater opportunity to live with
such people and be descended from
them.
Democracy should do everything
It can to give those who have infer
ior home opportunities a good
chance in its schools and in its in
dustries. II children have parents
who do not help or inspire them. 1t
is very hard for education to make
up for homes that are not helpful.
There are not supposed to be any
in democracy, but IL is very
hard to prevent people from drift !
ing into groups, which tends to ere
ate classes by voluntary action. !
Is supposed to create a
classics society. Yet even in Com
Russia, the different ele-
ments tend to separate into groups
with different interests and claims
and demands. These conflict to a
arge extent even in a country like
Russia.
So it is hard to tell exactly what
democracy is. In a general way it
.alls for a life in which all have
,qual rights to take part IN the gov
,rnment. and all are given fair
to develop whatever
yifts they have.

THR FRIFNnLY TnWN

A business man recently made q
trip to certain state. and when he
came back. he said: They have real
people down there. They don't give
you the cold stare and the clammy
handshake the way they do in many
places" He spoke of the cordial re-
ception he got, and the way people
tried to entertain him and make him
fsl at home.
That is a good impression for any
community to give out. 1t is to be
hoped that our folks in Milford do the
same thing. Many Of them surely do.
When strangers and visitors come, it
is a mighty fine idea to give them
such a cordial welcome. that they
remember the hearty and friendly
spirit they found here. A town that
keeps giving out that impression 60
strangers is going to make a wide
reputation.
Milford chronicle., 1938-12-30
BORN IN A STABLE

1t is one of the dramatic features
of the Christmas story, that Jesus
Christ, acclaimed as the worlds
greatest leader, was born according
to the traditional story in the humble
surroundings of a stable, and laid in
the manger out of which the cattle
ordinarily find their food.
1t is one of the strange contradic-
tions of history, that this man who is
worshipped by countless millions as
the King of Kings and Lord of
Lords. YET had his most obscure and
humble origin, that when his par
ents came 10 the place of his birth no
room could be found in any inn.
They had 10 resort 10 the shelter for
domestic animals before they found
any place 10 lay their heads.
Such an event tells us that the
great leaders of the human race
sometimes rise out of the most desti-
tute surroundings. 1t was so with
Abraham Lincoln, revered today as
one of the greatest prophets of dem
ocracy, who was born amid the most
humble scenes.
There is tremendous contrast be-
tween the humble spot in which
Jesus was born and the glorious
churches in which he is worshipped
today. The reverence of men has
built vast and echoing cathedrals in
his honor, whose mighty walls and
arches are decorated with the finest
paintings and statuary that mans art
knows. Great organs peal forth their
majestic anthems amid these silen-
ces, while bowling worshippers pledge
their faith to the Savior who was
born among the oxen and the sheep.
The origin of Jesus in these plain
and primitive surroundings tells us
never to despise the little ones who
come from the most humble home.
One can never know what divine
spark of genius is burning in their
hearts, which might light great lamps
of progress and enlightenment if
given its chance through education
and training.

TABLE MANNERS

Pupils at the olmstead Falls. Ohio,
high school are getting instruction
in table manners at the school cafe
terra. There are many people, both
young and old. in other places who
need such a course.
They would like to show that they
know the ways of the world, but
some of them act at dinner as if they
were finding their way around a
strange and unfamiliar place. The
number of people who eat with their
knives has been greatly reduced. but
there are plenty of pitfalls left into

FASCINATION OF NEW YEAR

"Just why do people holler, shou
snd blow on horns on New Year,
ever" what is there to hollel
about? why special iubilation. al
If someone had left you a heap o.
money, or promised you a years va
cation for nice travel, with all ex,
penses pafdT
Such remarks are made by cynical
philosophers, who listen to all the
whoopee of New Years, and don't
know what it iN all about.
Some of the old folks will say that
New Year is nothing to shout over
1t means one less of the precious
years which still remain to them.
They are not pleased when one of
them passes.
Probably the reason why New
Years day makes the majority of
people happy, is the fascination of
the unknown. When you look ahead
at some distant vista, there is the
thought of all the nice and pleasant
things that can happen there. That
behind that curtain that wells the
future, new heights of achievement
to climb. new pleasures to be en-
joyed.
That is a rather healthful attitude.
IT gives people feeling of hope and
confidence for the future, and they
go forth into that unknown exper-
ience with the feeling that it brings
joy and not sorrow, pleasure and not
rain. People who approach the fu-
ture with that feeling stand a better
chance of getting real results out of
1t. 1t is not we'll to enter the New
Year without full appreciation of
the dangers that may lurk in thos6
yelled days. But it is at least
to feel that on the
whole the world is good, that time /
will give us new opportunities. and
that we are strong enough to carry
its burdens and meet its perplexi-
les.

IMPROVED PROSPECTS

Most people think business will be
better in 1889 than it was in 1888.
That seems to. be the general tone of
the business forecasts. Surplus
stocks have been worked OF, and in
creased employment and payrolls
give the people more money to spend
than they had year ago.
If then the tide seems to be rising,
are we prepared in Milford to float
along with this current? To do so
takes enterprise. energy, the will
lingness to spend some money per-
haps, and above all, to advertise the
things we have to sell.
