SATURDAY. JANUARY 1. 191.
THE YEAR 1916
1916 came in white, in this Willam
ette valley, one of the garden spots
of the world, an occasion that is rare
here, where our winters are green and
our temperature mild. This year is
filled with enormous possibilities, be
yond the comprehension of men. No
one can tell what the twelve months
will bring forth. It is an absolute guess
whether the war will cease before the
f first of next January, or will be in
progress, whether the United States
will remain neutral or be pulled into
the unholy struggle. The people of
this country can only w.itch and hope.
The work of the present congress
will play a great part in the future of
this country. Upon it is a tremendous
responsibility, the -moulding of a great
policy. It is up to it to say whether
the United States shall remain a peace
loving country, or one h which mili
tarism predominates,, suggestive all
the time of war and possibilities of
war. The greatest thing in a hotr4 is
its peaceful character. So it W in a
nation: Whatever conduces 'lo peace
within and with the world at large is
a strong" fahric in the structure. In the
past it is militarism .that has- madi
nations to fall. It will always be so
The greatest strength of a nation are
its industries, not its army and navy.
The time has past when the home has
to have a gun handy for quick action
It .should he so with nations, and the
only way to have it so is for a great
natioin like the United States to make
it so by its example.
. The outlook for the United States
: in a commercial way for 1916 is good
increasing' as the months pass.
With a healthy foundation for busi
ness Albany's progress this year, as
in the past, should be steady and re
liable, without any brass Wind attach
ments. It has not been a city of booms
hut of plodding progress, one of grad-J
ual development. Situated as it is
there can be no question blit what this
will continue. -
Perhaps the greatest of all concern
is that of the individual. The person
who builds up his own character intc
a better manhood has done much for
the world, and it. is well when char
acter is placed above greed in the
great battle of life. -
OREGON DRY.
Oregon is now dry by order of the
people of the state, who rule. It should
he made so in the spirit of the law.
which provides for a wide personal
liberty in its provisions, making al!
violations of it for business purposes
entirely inexcusable. Under the
change the state will not go to the
dogs. Nothing ever goes to the dogs
without liquor. Instead it should im
prove. Bank deposits should increase
with the money going into substan
tial channels instead of into waste.
The enforcement of the law will prob
ably be like that of other laws, in

complete. No law is enforced fully,
nor can it be, but all have a restrain
ing influence, and this :ie m the long
run it bound to work for good here
as elsewhere, as it becomes establish
ed and respected. There will continue
tohe some drunkenness, but it will
steadily decrease, as people get the
habit out of their systems.
MISFITS
1916..
, There, we did get 'er right.
Will we keep getting the figures
correctly?
I-ast year was one full of mistakes,
ind there'll he plenty this year, Vere
all built that way, some more, some
less.
Next Monday is debt paying day;
but special days don't amount to
.nuch. It is daily principle that counts.
That's the rub with.rcsolutior.s too.
The colors are not set very well.
Those fine doors at the p. o. have
kept swelling until it takes a strong
man to open them when once they get
united. . .
Another storm blew over andAus
tria and the U. S. are on good terms.
By the way a good deal of tl e fuss
was simply yellow journalism, want
ing a sale of street copies.
Congress needs to do some good re
solving .more than anyone else, or
anything else.
Better think severr! times before
thrusting this country into the mael
strom of militarism and the burden of
tn enormous preparedness war tax.
'hat will operate mostly for ammuni
tion and gun factories.
When the present war is over the
countries of the world won't be i:i any
'lumor to spend much more in prepar
edness if the.U. S. has the judgment
to keep out of the game. The masses
are against the scheme.
The objection is not to a reasorable
army and navy; but to such big ones
is to make this a military dominated
-ountry.
