That during this year we may
rise higher than the cockpit of
political strife and take the only
possible stand of recognizing and
fulfilling out manifest duties to
humanity is ardently to be hoped
for. May commercial prosperity
blind us never to the necessity
of doing our full duty as a nation
to the society in which we live.
Only in so doing can we preserve
our self respect, the respect of
others, even our rational integ
rity and independence.

LOOKING FORWARD
once again we have passed j
the invisible line which sep
arates year from year. Nineteen

fears, its achievements and its)
rrJstal.es has faded into the ut-
tor Trithin?nft of the paaL i
'Nor all our piety nor wit" will
serve to alter in the slightest
the record it has graven on the
schroll of time.
We can. however, carry for
ward the fight for human happi
ness and human progress into
the newer year of 1920, avoiding
the mistakes and profiting by
tha experiences of the year now
gone, with fuller confidence in
the ultimate achievement of the
goaJtofoard which we are striv
ing. Certainly judging by material
prosperity alone, in most of the
world 1919 has been a year of j
progress -no where mors so than
in our own country, the Croesus
pf the modem world. The scars
of war everywhere, except in
those countries over whom the
menace of the Red death looms
large, are surely being eradicat
ed. That instead cf helping
Air erica is hindering the return
