ALICE PAUL, suffragist, head of National Woman's
Tarty: America's foremost New Year resolution should
be, I think, that our country should during this coming
year remove all political, civil, legal, economic and other
discriminations against women, so that women shall no
longer be in any form of subjection to men in law or cus
tom, but shall in every way be on an equal plane in rights,
as they have always been and will continue to be, in re
sponsibilities and obligations. '.
ROY A IIAYNES,' federal prohibition commissioner:
As a nation we should solemnly resolve that we will not
knowingly violate any of the laws of the land; that we will
hold sacred the Constitution of our country. We should cov

disregard our. laws, even though it be by remaining silent
when our laws, are violated. Wc shauld pledge ourselves
What should be America's foremost New
Year resolution?" is the question which the Ob

number of Americans representative of various
natural activities. Their answers, presented
herewith, reveal a wide range of ideas. With
them you may agree or disagree, but at least
your own thoughts will be stimulated. What do

WARREN A. CANDLER, Atlanta, chancellor of Emory

M. L. BURTON, president of the University of Michi
gan : America, if she is to realize on her invested hopes and

FRANK M. GOODCHILD, pastor of the Central Baptist
Church, New York City: There is no resolution America
so much needs as the resolution to be thoroughly honest;
making tho wares that are to be sold as good in quality as
possible, and exacting for these goods only the cost of pro
duction and a reasonable margin of profit. A revival of
common honesty would transform our land, making the life
of all better and happier. It is to be feared that such a re
vival is not likely, for Shakespeare said that when the world
grows honest, doomsday is near! -
. NATHAN STRAUS .philanthropist: To stop the ap
palling waste of life. Not by doubtful cures, but by positive
prevention of diseases. Foremost among preventive mea
sures ranks the pasteurization of the milk supply. It kills
the germs of tuberculosis, typhoid, scarlet fever and diph
theria ,and pi-events intestinal infection of infants. Pasteur
ization has the remarkable quality,, while killing nil noxious
germs, of retaining the nutritive and digestive properties of
the milk. I make this statement from 30 years of exper- '
ience and results obtained in both hemispheres. Whei-ever
milk pasteurization has been introduced, the death rate has
fallen as if by magic. : i
LUTHER BURBANK, naturalist, originator of now
' fruits and flowers: To work more and talk less. To Tiftvo
more faith in ourselves nnd less in what the other fellow has
to say. To think ourselves and not let our thoughts be only
a readjustment of old prejudices. : To look for light and
knowledge wherever found without regard to their sources.
If a race has not acquired and stored among its hereditary
tendencies sufficient perseverance and adaptability to meet
all the changes to which it must alwnys be subjected by its '
uver-changing environment, it wilf.be left. behind and finally
destroyed, outstripped by races better equipped forth fray,
'DAVID ' WARk! GRIFFITH, .p&ti'pnj.fifti'e, producer: '
To be tolerant, in the ablest sense; patient and, discerning
with the full-voiced outcries of the few; protective and
broadening to the calmer momenta of the many; to regard
the world as motherhood constantly renewing the host that
advances; to accept all peoples as a brotherhood, uniting,
above the petty if necessary wherefores of the hour, In that
precious philosophy of Christ, "Whatsoever yo would that '
men should do to.you, do ye even so to them." '-
WALTER CAMP, athletic authority: To work hard

Oltosinohile Car, Owned by
Ben Cotner, Taken from
Garage Saturday, Discov
ered Yesterday at Union.
Sometime Saturday evening an
Oldsmobile Four, belonging to Hen
Cotner, was stolen from the Roesch
Motor compnny's garage. No know
ledge of the exact hour it was taken
or any clue as to whom may have
stolen the car was available and
when notified, the sheriff was con
fronted with the problem of "find
it" without anything to work upon.
Nevertheless, the problem W solv
ed, or at least that part of it was,
for yesterday afternoon about four
o'clock, Sheriff l.ee AVarnick discov
ered tho car at Union, and it is now
back under the wing of its owner,
none the worse for wear.
No trace of the narties responsible
for the theft were found, tho car
being isolated when tliscoven:cl and
questioning failed to produce any
evidence that would lead to the ar
rest of the robbers. An investiga
tion is still being conducted and the
officers aro confident that they will
discover the criminals i-hoitiy.
