S Has Little Hope for Millennium “Our Bernard Shaws and Wellses and Bertrand Russells promise that, j If we put the government in their hands, they'll give us the millennium; but human nature is egotistic, and the . millennium will never be ours.” The speaker was Dr. L. Brown Sinkler, the New York psychologist. He continued: “Egotism—that’s our great fault. What’s a dude? A chap who dresses iietter than we do. What’s a sloven? A chap who dresses worse. “A spendthrift? One who spends more than we. A miser? One who saves more. “What’s a snob? A snob is a man whose social position is better than our own. And what’s a climber? A climber is one whose social position is worse than our own. “And a genius is a man who thinks as we do, while a bonehead is a man who doesn’t think as we do, and so forth and so on’to infinity.” Nature’s Balance A balanced aquarium consists of green pond weed, either floating or rooted, a few snails, tiny animals known as water fleas and fish. The animals eat the plants and give off organic waste from which the plants make their food. The plants give off oxygen to the animals and the animals give carbon dioxide to the plants Thus the balance exists.

! By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN ING out the old, ring in the new.” ■ Do you remember the time when no article on the New Year was oithoI d “ x un,e * s 11 contained at least a pnrt ” f “ lUng OuL Wi,d Ite’X’ j rK, Alfred Tennyson's melodious verses i f from “In Memorlam"? And have you nottsl that nowadays they are 4 no longer in fashion? This Is to be 1 regretted. Though they were written 75 years J ago. they are still as appropriate and as , suggestive as they are melodious. For “In Memoriam” Is far more than a splendid memorial to Tennyson's closest friend. Arthur Henry Hallam. It is an utterance of the Imperishable hopes and aspirations ot the human soul passing through the valley of the shadow of death. It Is the English classic on the love of immortality and the Immortality of love, it feels the forward movement of the world. It voices the hope for better things that springs eternal in the human breast. It pays due respect to law and order. It breathes sturdy and thoughtful patriotism. There is a profoundly religious spirit in it. It is full of the ultimate spiritual instincts ami cravings of humanity: Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky. The Hying cloud, the frosty light* The year Is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old. ring in the new. Ring, happy bells, across the snow; The year is going, let him go: Ring out the false, ring in the true. Ring out the feud of rich and poor. Ring In redress to all mankind. Ring in the nobler modes of life. With sweeter rumors, purer life. Ring in the love of truth and right. Ring in the common love of good. Ring out old shapes of foul disease; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old. Ring In the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free. The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land. Ring In the Christ that is to be. THE foregoing verses, once so popular ami now rarely quoted, sire in themselves suggestive of the changes time has wrought sime they were penned. “King out the old, ring in the new.” sings the poet. Glancing tit the “Sixty Years Ago Today” column in the daily newspaper, we see that the Daily News of London was editorially denying that the claims of the United States against Great Britain because of the Confederate cruiser Alabama's destruction of Union shipping j were a sufficient cause for war, and guests I were present at a New York reception to General Grant. Great Britain paid ihe United States $15,000,000 damages because of the Alabama; the United States saved Great Britain in Ihe World war; today the peace and stability of the world j hangs on the friendship of the two great Englishspeaking nations. General Grant was made ! President by the North because he was tin* leader who won the Civil war. Today we have a reunited country, cemented by the common service of the Blue and Gray in the Spanish-American and World wars. Twenty-five years ago today John Alexander Dowie, the American healer, was being mobbed in London by medical students; today the music of Dowie’s Zion is heard over every American radio. Ten years ago today Germany agreed to pay an indemnity to the United States for the 115 lives lost when the Lusitania was torpedoed, but refused to apologize for the sinking of the liner. Today Germany is working out her redemption under the Dawes plan and the world is discussing the appeal to women to “scrap the submarine” of Lady Astor, an American-born woman in the British parliament. AGAIN Sings the poet, “Ring out the false, ring jn the true” —which is to say: New truths for old fallacies; discoveries, inventions, improvements, increased efficiency in all walks of life. Along this line progress is too rapid to be appreciated; a new improvement is announced before the last can lie recorded. Our national prosperity is in large measure due to the constant expansion of the application of scientific discoveries to the industry and commerce. Electric power and light, the gas engine ami radio have revolutionized and an* still improving modern life. Yesierday was announced Ihe discovery by federal government scientists of the secret of fixed nitrogen, indispensable for the making of munitions and fertilizer. Today a California scientist reports tlie existence of a new ray, stronger than the X ray and with one thousand times greater frequency. Tomorrow —w hat ? And what of the radio in 1926? Guess for yourself! It was in 1597 that the first Marconi station

What John Brought Home for New Year

j «XJO\V, don't be cone all night,” lx called Mrs. Bean as her only son dashed out of Ibe house. Then she sank into a chair and began to cry. It was the first New Year's e\e since pa had gone, and it was also the first time she had allowed herself to give way to tier sorrow. “If John goes to the city and leaves me here alone. I’ll die,” she sobbed. “And he will go, I know.”

Radio Is now instructing and entertaining the world. It is maiding photographs; boiling a kettle on a cuke of lee, and stopping railroad trains with mnergemj brakes. What next? ' I 'ENNYSt »N w rites, "ring out the feud of rich ami poor.” In the larger sense this feud has betm rung out in America. There are no longer any “poor" In the meaning of this word ns Tennyson used it. America is the* most wealthy, most prospermia and happiest nation of earth. The prosperity of the American people this year has made possible the highest standard of living in all his’ory. Specific illustrations of this prosper ty meet the eye at every turn—streets full of automobiles and taxis; sidewalks lull ot men ami women dressed in accordance with fashion’s latest whim; homes equipped with radio; millions of spectators at football games at a cash expenditure of untold millions; millions at play in the middle of winter —in warm-weather eports in the South and California and iti winter sports in New England and the national parks of the Worn : the Florida land speculation rivaling the “M ssissippi Bubb’e” of two centuries ago; a record breaking building construction of ST.INMUXHMKMI. Moreover, labor is now one of the heaviest investors in the commercial and industrial enterprises of capital. Fest 6f all is the fact that conditions apparently point to a continuance of tin’s prosperity in 1926. AGAIN, there is the line. "Ring in redress to all mankind. “Redress” carries with it the suggestions of wrong inflicted upon the helpless and unfortunate and of acknowledgment, reparation and rehabilitation. Doubtless there Is need in many places of earth for redress in the fullest meaning of the word —but not in the United States. This is increasingly the land of liberty, equality of rights and opportunity and pursuit of happiness. This nation is the one nation of earth dedicated to these precious things and the passing years but confirm the dedication. All the world knows this; if we were to throw open tin* gates of America the rush of immigration would be beyond imagining. The equality of opportunity here is beyond anything history has ever seen. It is literally true that the highest positions in the land are open to all. Even the Presidency is open, the single restriction being that of native birth; President Calvin CooHdci* is a farmer’s boy who worked as hard during his youth as any young American. The high executive positions in the federal ami state governn nts and the seats of congress are full of self-made men. The great salaries of the “high-ups” in business world are in the large majority of cases drawn by men who have worked up from the bottom. Education is free. Efficiency is well rewardial. The .voting American of today has only himself to blame if lie does not amass a competence, establish a home and found a family. There are no class distinctions to bar his rise. Theon-ticall.v there are no oppressed who should have “redress.” In practice there are flies in our ointment; when human nature improves these will be removed. AND again Tennyson sings, “Ring out old shapes of foul disease.” Many have been rung out and more are going with every ringing of the bells. Yellow fever and the bubonic plague —world scourges—have been eliminated from the

But soon she brushed the tears away and took up her darning. She felt better because she had had a good cry. At ten o'clock she set out some milk and pie for John when he should come in. “I hope lie won’t be late,” she said. “I'll wait a little bit and In spite of herself, Mrs. Bean fell asleep, and was only awakened at midnight by the cheery voice of her son.

। “Happy New Year, mother; Happy New Year. Wake up and see what I’ve brought home.” She rubbed her eyes, and looked, but found herself smothered in the arms of a younger woman who was kissing her. “It’s Jennie, mother,” cried John. “We’ve just been married, and site’s coming here to live with us, and I’m going to stay in the store and not go to the city.” “You dear,” exclaimed Mrs. Bean, now fully awake. “And Jennie, you're

map. Smallpox is no longer epidemic. The tropics hn\e been made habitable for the white man; the death rate of the Panama Canal zone is le>- than that of many cities of the tenqienite z<>ne. The health of masstsi populations, long one of the worlds greatest problems, has been assured; of the death rate of cities of over LtMMMXHI people Chicago's is lowest with 11.2 a thousand, ' Paris’ is highest w'th 11.3. The toll of tubercul«>sis (Chicago 1924 figures) bus been redm ed to S.ll a 10.090; of pneumonia to 9.64; of cam er to 10.59. Heart disease is now the worst of the dread list; it kills 18.78. Chicago, like other great American cities. Is living too fast — working too hard, playing too hard. Man's avo<aiions are as strenuous as his vocations. Our modern civilization is too fast and furious to be sane or safe. Herein lies the value of the new National Outdoor Recreation conference, which would make us understand that wholesome outdoor recreation amid scenes of natural beauty is the God given antidote for many of the ills of our Twentieth century civilization. 'T'ENNYSON voices a present-day world cry in * the line: ‘Ring out the thousand wars of old, ring in the thousand years of peace.” It is now seven full year- since the armistice. These have bt“en years of all the passions of war without. Today. f< r the first time, the horizon is bright with hope. Europe has come to a realization of its desperate plight. It now sees that no Euronenn nation won the World war; that on the contrary that war brought disaster to all, victor ami vanquished alike. No nation possesses the resources to accomplish its rehabilitation unaided. To regain even an approximation of their pre-war domination of the world the nations of Europe must combine and co-operate to an extent hitherto unthinkable. The situation has resolved itself to a question of self-preservation. So the Locarno agreement is more than a gesture of willingness to abstain from war. It means the wish for constructive peace, the desire to begin the work of rehabilitation and the hope of restored world pre-eminence. The New Year will presumably see a PanEuropean congress, working independently of the League of Nations. It will endeavor to breakdown nationalistic ilivisions. bring about general disarniam<*nt and establish an organization somewhat resembling a "United States of Europe.” No, Europe has not accomplished a spiritual regenera tion. It Is a plain case of realization that something of the kind must be done to avoid complete collapse. United Europe against the world —or Europe’s day is done. L' NALLY, writes Tennyson, “Ring in the Christ * that is to be.” Would that the New Year bells could fulfill his wish, for in Christianity lies the only hope of a reformed human nature and a regenerated world. The World war Ims brought forth the charge that Christianity is a failure. Certainly crime is rampant. The churches and factions within the churches are quarreling. Nevertheless, Christianity is still the driving force of civilization. The Bible continues to be by far the world's best seller. It has been translated into most of the languages of earth ami the presses cannot begin to supplj- the demand. Has the Christianity of the Jesus Christ of that Bible ever been tried by the world? One thing is sure: New Year’s day is a day when every good American should take stock of himself and resolve to do his mite toward making the wish of the poet come true.

Giant Statesmen, Present and Pest “It is Impossible to make a Just comparison between senators of today aud those who loom large in senate I history. It is much like the attempt to measure modern lawyers against the 1 legal giants of the past. We select a few great names and forget the abun- : dant mediocrity. Two things are certain. One is that the proldems with 1 which senators must nowadays wrestle have not decreased in number or com- ■ plexity. The other is that the sena- • . tors to whom these problems are pre- i ■ seated must divide their time between the task of solution and the political | work essential to su<-< ess in open pri- ' 1 maries mid in state-wide elections. i “The result is that senators are . much more closely in touch with the 1 life of their c< nstituen’s and more re- ■ sponsive to their will.

War Finally Gets Them Medical authorities in London are examining numerous cases of nervous strain which they believe are the result of wartime experiences. Officers who went through the war without a scratch and who still have the appearance of physical fitness, are just beginning to feel the effects of nervous and mental strain. In some cases complete collapse has suddenly stricken down men who believed that all possible effects of their service had disappeared long ago. Physicians declare that many men’s brains and nerves have suffered, even while no outward sign was observable. When to Get It “Don't ask advice.” said Uncle Eben, “unless you has made up yoh } mind and feels free to enjoy a little conversation." —Washington Star.
