Our representative, Mr. Grier, had hardly been declared

a id p!eaed none of Ida constituent except one or two
political bosei at Dallas.
It Iihh h -en proponed n some states to declare newa
.(m th public utilities and let noma commission regulate
their prices. What is iede 1 ni"re is to have the editors
"regulated." While many editors are worse printers,
more printer are worse ed i torn. An edito should ba as

The Monday Crawfish i ;n unusually wel developed
newspaper and wtth the oesihle exception of Congressman

Hinjile lactor in the ntate. However, the Crawfish is neg
lecting a plain duty and with election only twenty two
months away, the carelessness is palpitating. Hill Han

down. Hill is too good a spender to lose entirely.

Prosperity In 1915 Depends Upon
Faith in Our Country
Our Nation fs being paralyzed by a crisis of
European methods and ideals.
We cannot escape entirely the bitter fruits of a
war founded in govermental system where
Monarchy, Paternalism, Public Ownership
and Autocracy go hand in hand.
Now as never before we have opportunity to compare American Ideals
end methods with those practiced in Europe, and to measure what
American systems and Institutions have gained for humanity.
Protably we will learn more and more each day of the coming year to
the coming year to appreciate kall we have and are," to regard our
citizenship In a more precious light, to see our problems more clear
ly, more tolerantly.
Tl ' war has made material
rogress difficult through
out the United States. It
has added to the obstacles
of financing constructive
effort. It has enforced ec
eonomics upen the large
nd small; has laid on tht.
ihelf plana for many de-
irable things.
Tr mperity in this country
uring the coming year
demands above everything
. Ue faitv in our Republic
and faith between man
snd man. It cannot be
l ad tu suspicion and distrust.
If this military calamity
teaches us a deeper and
more useful patriotism; if
it serves the advance un
derstanding among us of
one another's rights and
wrongs; if it removes prej
udices and strikes down
distrust then this war
will not be without benefit
to the citizens of the Uni
ted StnUs.
We hope for prosperity the
coming year. To have it
will require hard work,
courage and ftilh in ourselves.
