A Hopeful Sign

tine time given over to some sort Of
prepared program in celebration Of
the great event. Liquor stores and
beer parlors are to be closed.
Judging from the items appear
ing in the press, the common
thought is that the celebration ought
not to be permitted to degenerate
into a wild and drunken debauch.
A great nation stirred to surging
JOY because Of the cessation of mass
murder, the awful horrors of war
and the Staying of our young men
ought TO find some better way of
expressing that JOY than in drunken
revelry That seems to be the SEN
timent that is now sweeping the ma
ton. Some governors have already
issued proclamations closing al
liquor stores and beer parlors dur
ing the celebration Many proprie-
tors Of these establishments arc
joining heartily in that sentiment
and will close without protest.
Possibly the world is growing
better, even though slowly. Those
who can remember back to armis-

want increasingly abundant and nu-
