. - Look Forward and Not Backward

Mankind is prone to look backward and cloud

the present with regrets over mistakes and er

rors in judgment, forgetful that the future offers

opportunity for the redress of wrongs and the

correction of faults.

. This is not the time to be pessimistic, over the business outlook or to growl about conditions that provoked it. This is the hour when a courageous

citizenship looks beyond the storm clouds and

draws on its reservoir of strength to conquer

conditions.

Instead of letting our hearts be filled with

forebodings, let us consider the elements of, our strength. One-third of the wealth of the world is to he found in this country where it is more widely distributed than in any nation of the

world. We inhabit only 6 per cent of the area of the globe, but we produce about 50 per cent of the great products of the world, and our natural resources are so vast and wonderful that we are the envy of less fortunate nations. Of the railroad mileage of the world, one-half

is to be found in the United States. Our mineral , We iok 'th kind and loving eyes

upon our smiling fellowguys; we send Eome peanuts to the poor, and think the Spirit will endure. And then we eat a gorgeous meal, Including turkeys, ducks and veal, and pies the kind that mother made and doughnuts, cakes and marmalade. An night our burdened innards balk, and through long hours the floor we walk; and in the morning, cold and gray the morn-

resources are still so great that we need not fear

of exhausting them soon, for some have only

been tapped, and others are far from being worked to their capacity. ,

Our population, judged as a whole, is the most aggressive and resourceful of the world. No obofgrlo Vine Vioon omanf rtrno"h to rleter the

. , - , i i inS after Christmas Day we groaning American people from undertaking its removal , ieave the sleepless berth, and care no

in the onward march toward the attainment of a purpose. Before us lie great things that are still to be accomplished. We need millions of homes to house our population. Thousands of schools need to be built; hundreds of streams must be bridged; numberless buildings are needed in our business, industrial and commercial spheres; churches, theatres and a vast number of other structures await construction. The erection of many a public building and the improvement of thousands -of miles of streets and roads, which have been postponed for five years, call for action. x ' This is only an insignificant part of the work that challenges our attention and will give abundant opportunity for work and for business expansion. So long as the American spirit retains its old verility and adaptability it will not quail before tasks that are to be performed but address itself to their attainment with an unconquerable determination. Let us keep in mind the things that are still to be done in the way of improvement and expansion and go ahead with the optimism of conquerors.

Today's Talk . j By George Matthew Adama

RETROSPECT We ought often to look back. Not tn the sense of regret but to rpview. We snould stand at th roadside of our past and view the wrecked attempts of our enthusiasms and impulses, as well as to study with an unbiased mind evry work of our hand and brain. We grow as we learn to see. There is always associated with the story of the lost sheep a most tender pathos. How the shepherd's heart goes out to that one though he may still retain a thousand others. In looking back over our lives, we pee ourselves, like the sheep, alone and lost for long periods to the best that we are. And when we find our

selves, there is more rejoicing within ourselves than over the dozens of natural good deeds that sprang so easily from our natures. I always sleep better after imagining that I have been kissed again by the warm lips of a Mother and felt her soft fingers touch my forehead, and the bed covers tucked tight and then heard her steal quietly from my room. We must not lose our ability to run back for a quick scent of those tilings which helped so much to make of our present memories something rich and beautiful. The more you look back, the fairer you are sure to be with yourself and with otheis. Smiles and tears are just a little way apart on your face! Iook back! Look up!

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON v I SAGE COUNSEL. The Christmas season comes apace, when smiles will hang from every face. The Christmas spirit, for a time, will make our lives a thing sublime. Alas, beshrew me, and dodpast! The Christmas spirit does not last! A day or two warms our hearts, then straightway shrivels and departs; why does it chase itself so soon, and leave our lives all out of tune? It is because we eat too much turkey, pudding, pies and such; the Christmas spirit cannot dwell where people with dyspepsia yell. The Christmas morning finds us calm; the season, like a toothing balm, has healed the troubles and the cares that man through weary workdays bears.

the Immigration

Flood Be Dammed? Something more like panics than enthusiasm is manifested by our growing army of idle workers which already numbers two million, according to the American Federation of Labor, over the vast reinforcements from the war-broken countries of Europe. Immigration officials, says the New York Tribune, state that seven out of ten of the immigrants now entering this country are dependents mostly women and children, and old men. Mr. Frederick A. Wallis, Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island, says that he is informed that eight million immigrants are ready to come from Germany as soon as peace is declared, and he adds, "what will happen when the bars of Russia are let down can only be guessed" Other authorities and editors, however, deny and minimize all these alleged dangers, arguing that virtually ever immigrant produces more than he consumes, and is, therefore, an asset rather than a liability; that instead of a labor surplus in this country we have an actual shortage of "cheap" or unskilled labor, the result of the stopping of all immigration during the war; that the farms, particularly, need such labor if they are to do their part in building up national prosperity; and that, as the New York Herald summarizes this point of view, when we contemplate barring out immigration altogether, we contemplate economic suicide."
