WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 3. 1917:
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
'There's a new foot on the floor, my
friend,
A nd a new face at the door,rhv friend,
A new face at the door."
Such are ihe words of Tenny
son in describing the death of
the old year and the advent of
the new year. A new face ap
peared at the door last Sunday
night and the year 1917 began its
existence. Unless told not many
of us would know rhen the new
year begins, because the old year !
passes away so quietly and the
new year comes so Quietly none

any convulsion of nature or by
any outward sign. And what
will the new vear hrino tn na?
No man can answer this ques
tion, and it is fortunate for us
that the future is hidden from
our view and that no man can
iorsee tne events 01 the coming
year. Let us all, each and every
one, try to make the best use
possible of each passing hour
and so discharge our respective
duties that there may be no cause
ior regrets, uur lives and our
happiness or misery depend large
ly on ourselves and what we do
Do not sit down in idleness and
then complain of being unfortu
nate and unhappy- Let us all
"Be up and doing with a heart
for any fate."
Few persons realize the fact
that they are themselves mainly
responsible for what they call
"misfortunes," and are them
selves to blame in many in
stances. If you doubt this, be
more careful during the coming
year and try to avoid the pitfalls
and mistakes of the past year.
That man must be dull indeed
who does not profit by his expe
riences in the past.
What has the new year in store
for us as a nation? Will our sarje
and safe President be able to
keep us out of war as success
fully as in the past? Nobody
can now say, but we can all at
least try to uphold his hands in
his efforts to avoid war. His
patience may at last be exhaust
ed with the treacherous and
worthless Mexican leaders, and
it is not at all improbable that
we may yet be forced by them
to intervene and try to establish
a stable government in that un
happy country of many revolu
tions. By such a war we would
have nothing to gain and much
to lose.
There is some hope that the
new year may brine to a close.
before its end, the bloodiest war
of all the age?. If this year
should brin that war to an end
it would be forever remembered
witn gratitude by all men wno
have any haart. And why should
it not end in 19rfl
The Record extends its best
wishes to all its readess that the
new year may be both happy
and prosperous for each and
every one.
The convicts justified the con
ndence placed in them by Gov
Craig by all of them returning
to their prisons when their holi
j i j -i .
uays naa expired, a year ago
Gov. Craig gave liberty for three
days at Christmas to all the trus
ties among the convicts in this
state, and all except one return
ed when their parole expired.
Encouraged by this he extended
the same liberty last week and
this time every one of the con
victs returned. One of them was
a day late, but his delay was on
account of sickness. This is quite
remarkable, ard shows that there
'"is honor among thieves," and
that even a convict may be trust
ed. Any one would naturally
think that most convicts when
thus released would never re
turn to prison. Such men are
worth trying to sae.
The official popular vote for
President has recently been pub
lished and shows that Wilson re
ceived over half a million more
votes ihan Hughes received, his
vote being 9, 116, 296 and the vote
for Hughes was 8,547,474. This
vote for Wilson was more than
any Presidential candidate had
ever received. The next highest
vote for a President was 7,677,
544 for Taft in 1908. The great
ly increased vote this ear was
due to the women voting
twelve states.
It is quite significant that Wil
son carried eighteen of the twenty-two
states .west of the Missis
sippi river. Two of the four
states carried bv Hughes west of
that river were Minnesota (where
his majority was only 292) and
Iowa, both of which states bor
der on that river. The smallest
majority was that of Wilson in
New HamDshire. which was
only 56,
The proposal of Germany for
a peace conference is rejected by
the Allies as beinsr "empty and
insincere." Notwithstanding this
rejection we hope and believe
that some ways and means Will

that the warring nations can sus
tain such a war another year, and
yet that was the opinion of many
persons a year ago when it seem
ed impossible for the war to be
waged another yerr. More men
were killed in battle last year
than in any other year in the an
nals of war, and it does seem
that all the nations at war are ;
nearly exhausted. We can only
