The State Dispatch feels con fident that this will be a great year for Burlington, a year of progress, of successful enter prise, of genuine piosperity. The Dispatch means to use all its in fluence to accomplish those ends to make this the greater Burling ton in fact, not in name only. Since its initial issue it has fought along those lines it means to light in 1912, backed up by the strong force of public opin ion, encouraged as it knows it will be by popular approval. In the year that has now gone into history The Dispatch has made new records in Burlington history. Its columns have been filled from week to week to over flowing with hews and advertis ing, it has grown to have an en- ormc' circulation, a circulation of which it and its patrons are well proud. It has endeavored to become an important factor in the life of this city. During 1912 we shall endeavor to stand by the same faith. We send our many readers and ad vertisers the heartiest of good wishes for 1912. Bniness Outlook for 1912, The general opinion of thore who are in a position to speak is that 1912 begins with a brisker and brighter era of business just ahead. During 1911 we sold much more than we bought from other nations, our exports great ly exceeding our imports. The theory advanced from this is that the nation, like the individual, is better off when it sells more than it buys. 1912 starts with a fine balance from , our past dealings with the outside world. Although the cereal products of the past year were much smaller than the previous year which was due to prevailing conditions, the prices ranging high. The cotton crop for 1911 will surpass the previous year’s yield by 100,000 bales. The general trade conditions for 1911 w^e not fully evidenced until the last nionths of the year, which was distinguished by a marked revival in the steel manufacture. It is predicted that 100^000 men who wei e idle in the Pittsburg region two months ago will be employed du ring the current month. Thirty six plants which were idle Dec. 1st will be put in operation with in the next twenty days. In this bright and prosperous outlook for 1912 we should not forget the fact that this is a presidential year—a year when everything, as a rule, goes into the melting pot. But the idea of this has been set aside from viewing the fact that so far as Republican National politics are concerned, there is not likely to be anything approaching a revo lutionary upheaval. Locally as well as'Nationally the^ year 1912 starts wel), pointing toward bus iness activities. Whereas frequent requests came to us to suspend these ser vices for meetings of various kinds, Resolved, that our preaching services shall not be suspended except for something decidedly extraordinary. That this action was altogether reasonable will appear to anyone who weighs the several facts: 1. No church in our town will accomodate half the people who should be expected to attend ser vices on any Sunday night. I venture to say that no church in town will hold more than half the people who actually go to the regular services on Sunday nights,' when all the churches are open. ' 2. With a city nearly two miles in length no one church is easily accessible to the people in all sections. Many people there fore would attend services in a near-by church who would not go to a distant church even for a service of very unusual interest. For both these reasons it is clear that to close all churches but one is greatly to reduce the number of church-goers on any Sunday evening. 3. Those churches that are scheduled to have services every Sunday night lose greally by call ing off a service now and then. Some will not know of the decis ion to suspend services, and will go and be disappointed. This element of uncertainty will result in decreasing attendance. I trust, therefore, that it will be more strictly the policy of our churches not to suspend services except for something decidedly extraordinary. Nobody will be so unfair as to construe this as a reflection on the excellent meeting to which I invited my people last Sunday night. Still less is it to be con strued as implying any lack of interest in the great Internation al Sunday School movement. I have stated a general principle, which I believe should hereafter be generally recognized. I make this statement in the interest of all the pastors and churches. The pastors have committed themselves. Hereafter, if any church desires to call in a regular service, it will not be considered na> row nor selfish. The are- sumption hereafter will be Hiat churches will not close except for some meeting of extraordihary importance. ^ r ' : S. L. Morgan. ■ mMtHTS I- Will Be Here Tuesday. Do you need glasses?

Are the roads bad, and who is to blame. When the roads were bad during the republican county administration, fthe Democrats with one accord said it was on ac count of incompeteney and bad management. Surely no one will be so unkind as to say that this is the case now. But that they are bad, very bad is putting it mildly. We are not Llaiixing the Democrats for the prepent con dition of the roads, but we are recalling this instance • to show what a party without principle or judgement will do and say in order to down a political oppo’- nent. This ought to be a lesson to oar democratic friends to be more tnithful in the future and not try to take advantage of bad conditions to discredit a political opponent. The roads will get bad no matter who is in power. But it does seem that they get just a little worse when the Democrats hold the reins of county govern ment. And yet they say they are the only party that is capable of giving the people good govern ment, perish ihe thought. Expression cf The Pastors. Operation Tliouglit Inevit *bie. Ferris, Tex.—In a letter from this place, Mary Kilman, says: “I was coniined to my bed for three months, with womanly troubles, and during this time suffered untold agony. The doc tor said an operation was inevit able. I tried Cardui. Now I am well, and able to do a great part of my work.’' Thousands of ladies have testified to the bene fit obtained from Cardui, the w^oman’s tonic. It prevents nn- necessary womanly pains and builds up womanly strength. It is a true tonic. Try it. It will help you. Last Sunday night all the churches of the city except one or two closed their doors. They did so partly because there was a Sunday School meeting in one of the churhes—an excellent and profitable meeting for all who at tended. But the churches closed also because there was pubUshed a rather remarkable request that all the c'burc'hes would call In their night services. I dare say that no church believed it v;as best to close, but each one feared it might be considered narrow if it failed to close, and out of sym pathy with the great Sunday School movement represented by the local convention here Sunday night. I wish to make my hum ble protest a:?ainst such a view, and to give the public an expres sion by the pastors of the city, touching the matter of closing! our churches for various meet ings that are arranged for Sun day evenings. The frequency of such meetings led the Minister ial Association of the city about a year ago to adopt the following, and to place it on its records: “Whereas it is our conviction that the regular preaching servi ces of the church should be mag nified above every other kind of services, and Afraid to Stay Alone Cherry Valley, Ark.—Mrs. Carrie Moore of this place says, ‘ ‘I was afraid to stay by myself. I had had headache nearly all the time; my heart would palpitate, and my vitality was very low. When I would lie down, at night, I had no hope of living until day. I tried Cardui, and now I feel bet ter than I have for 5 years. I cannot praise Cardui enough for what it did.” Are you a woman? Do you need a tonic? Try Cardui, the woman’s tonic.
