 ReSents Criticism

There is no question that the criticism Roosevelt has received from business is getting under his skin. During his meeting with the Roper advisory committee of Big Business men (not the turbulent Little Men), he said:
 "YOu say l have criticized business, but for every criticism I have given you, you have given me fifteen to one. Now if you want to call a truce ." And he indicated that a truce would be O. K. with him.
 This criticism probably is one reason Roosevelt has moved slow ly in rushing up the economic ambulance. Probably he has been waiting for his enemies to clamor for aid.

No Wage Worry
 Toward the wage-hour bill, the President was a little more respon- sive. His support for it, he reiter- ated, had not for a moment dimmed. But when the liberals pointed to the danger that the bill might be sidetracked until the end of the session, then squeezed out in the rush to wind up congress, the President did not seem great ly concerned.
 He did not exactly say so, but he gave the impression that the wage-hor bill was now up to Congress. He had done his best. Either he was tired of fighting or he was trying to maneuver some one else into the position of

A NEW YEARS
RESOLUTION
BY REV. A. II. TURNER
St. Paul AME Church. Lima. o.

Here we stand again on the har.
derland Of Welcome and Good-hve.
There is SO little between them and
20 much on either side Of them.
When the great bell Of time strikes
the midnight hour, and 1898 pass
es into the land of long ago, there
is one simple resolution that we can
all make with pretty good surety
that we can keep it till the nexA
midnight chimes-~that we WIS be
better Men and Womens.. ia 1893
than we were in 1861
That won't BE- hard resolution
to fulfill ins some degree, and #
everyone |even a little better
aere VIII be great deal more
oodn1ess, kindness, success and
ro6therly love in the world lurina
1899 than there is now.
The untried year will bring it an
other chance for ala chance IL
make good where we have failed
a chance to benefit by what We have
counted failures in 1898.
The old year has been a difficult
one for many. Some have lost hear.
and hope. Some have offered their
eye for job. We hope and pray
that the new year, which gives
promise. Of SO much that is better.
will bring to them new hope and
courage. If we can only let the UNI
happy part Of 1888 go with it, and
only remember the good, it will help
toward all that is best in 1889.
One of the best things that we
can hope for the untried year is
that it will be "a busy one for every
one. Work is the best promoter Of
goodness and happiness-th the best
cure for trouble and sorrow that
there is. When the solemn, happy
gels ring out across the snow COW
cred hills, let them ring out with
them the bad things of life, and
ring in all that is good and true.
