Mr. Editor: In your issue of December 22 you say: "We disclose no secret when we remark that the twentieth century doesn't begin on January 1, 1900." Now, while I dislike to disagree with those who are wiser and better- ooking than myself, yet I would mildlv insist that the twentieth century did begin on January 1, 1900. This is the year 1900 (nine teen hundred.) That statement means a completed period of time; it means that nineteen hundred years have passed. If the period was not completed and we were only entering upon that year, in stead of it being the year nineteen hundred, it would be the nineteen hundredth year. There is a great difference between the twentieth c.entury and the year 2000; at the present time the difference amounts to a hundred years. Our markings of time are uniform. On the dials of our clocks it is not 1 o'clock until the first hour has passed; the second that it has passed we are in the second hour, but it is not two o'clock until the second hour is fully completed. Elk City school marched into the new century on New Years day. We extend our sympathies to all those who lay a year behind the time, but we cannot delay tue pro cession to accommodate them. Almon B. Clark. P. S.--The Twentieth Century party at the Simpson House on New Year's night was a very en joyable affair. The hotel was thronged with more than sixty people. The gathering was on a brief notice and no regular program was prepared. The company was entertained with music and games during the early evening; later 'music arose with its voluptuous swell," and those who felt inclined tripped the light, fantastic toe. The hostes, Mrs. Simpson, assisted by her sister, Mrs. Adams, spared no pains to make the gathering an enjoyable one. Elk City feels that she did herself proujl in welcoming the new year and the new century. Exactly. "This is the year . w . rS 1900 tne beginning ot it. 11 'that statement means a completed period of time;" if "it means that nineteen hundred . years have passed," why, then, must we write '1900" until January 1, 1901? This is the nineteen hundredth year. It takes nineteen hundred nil years to make nineteen cen turies. Your clock illustration is as clear an argument as is needed. It is not 1 o'clock until it is r o'clock, but the time before that hour is reached is the first hour. Unlike our respected correspondent, we do not "extend our sympathies." Persons in a state of blissful ingnor- ance do not need sympathy. They are happy and that is enough. However, this closes the contro versy so far as The Leader is concerned. We expect a few who constitute the minority to keep right on living in the twentieth century before its dawn. . L. A. S. Notice.
