THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW
Old Man Nineteen Twenty-one passes down the trail
and around the bend that hides him from view and carries
him into the land of Yesterdays. The old fellow's brow is
wrinkled, his hair is thin and gray, his steps are slow and
feeble and he probably gladly yields his place to the saucy,
young imp who is just coming in sight over the brow of the
hill 1 hat overlooks the world. The old man has had a
checkered career the past twelve months. He has
reigned, as best he might, over a world not yet recovered
from the waste of war. He has witnessed much monetary
loss many privations, in our land and a degree of poverty,
famine and suffering, the awful import of which we can
scarcely grasp, in other sections of the earth, ile has seen
Ihe truth of the old adage,, "Wilful waste makes woeful
want," forcibly demonstrated both in the affairs of nations
and individuals, lie has truly brought much that seemed
jiot good to the peoples of the earth but he has also gi
promise of better things in store.
The financial maze through which a weary world has
been wondering these past twelve months is only a logical
result of Ihe blood lust and money madness that ruled the
world through foujr destructive years. War profits, big
wages, high prices turned many hitherto level heads and
the result, was that Wilful Waste went wild and when the
pinnacle of prices and profits was reached the powers that
be swiftly sprung the trap and sent the world hurtling to
the bottom.
Woeful Want then took his inning and what men
have lost in wealth, let us hope they have gained in wisdom.
Looking backward over the dismal desert just crossed,
after attaining the hilltop beyond , is not very comforting,
however, unless we arc able to rejoice in the hardships of
Ihe journey because of the relief at getting out. Better
it is to turn our gaze and view the pleasant valley ahead.
There is yet a rough trail before us but there is promise
of better things at its end.
Hut. a few years ago men and women who wrote, or
.spoke or agitated against war were looked upon as vision
aries, dreamers, milksops a variety of spineless cactus of
the human family while today a conference of the bright
est minds of (he leading nations of the earth are in session
at Washington devising plans for the limitation of arma
ments which a war-wrecked world hopes and believes will
prove to be the first step toward ending the reign of Mars
and this planet. .Should we not be able to forget the little
losses, the trivial trials of the past year and be truly grate
ful for this great good the passing year gives promise of?
Let us then wave a kind farewell to the tottering
figure going out of sight around the bend and greet the
smiling youngster on the hilltop with cheer and good
will. Old Man Nineteen Twenty-one has paved the way
for Youngster Nineteen Twenty two to make a name for
himself during the next twelvemonth and we should all
turn to and help him make good. All that is needed is
plenty of courage, unbounded faith, undimmed hope and
over all, sweet Charity which means love.
' farewell to the old year; hail to the new.

A new front ict lias risen before the American
pcoi,', iar!u ulai'lv in ihe past leu or lit'tccii years.
Il is a, frontier of prohlt ins of public policy. We have
In fore us a lU'otip of problems, physical, economic, so-
cial, pohlnal, educational, requirinj:
kind of
ami liv the character of ihe American pivpL for a
hundred ears to conic.
The ohl political problem was to establish a pv-
ermuenl st ron;: enough to win obedience and di'si'rve
recoiniilion ; to show the people the need for and the
character of a political orpiniat ion able to exercise authority over mat
ters of common interest which required regulation. This was a more dif
ficult thim,' than at first might appear, for the individual on the frontier
felt little need for government help, lie could take care of himself.
The litical problem of the new era is different It is not merely
to keep order hut to evolve national unity out of racial, economic and
political diversity. True, this problem has boon present from the begin
ning; but it lias not been the important phase of the political problem
until our number grew so great. as to make mnvsstirv a wider and more
intense recognition of the authority of the government.
The new social problem is to preserve that .spirit of democracy, that
spirit of equality of individuals, which marks the frontiersman. The
newcomer in a frontier community was not askerl where he came from or
who his ancestors were. The password of his admission was, "What can
you do?" We must pivveut the establishment of caste.
The new economic problem is so to consent ami utilize the resources
that remain as to keen open to cverv individual in this democracy equality
of oppoitnuity in the road to economic success. If democracy is to con
iinue, we must make it possible for every individual newcomer into our
democratic group to cum his living and to win his eixuiomic independence.
Wf must still make it possible for the poor boy and thf poor girl to climb
upward economically Hi a result of his honest efforts under conditions rec
, agnized by th. lawn of a democratic people. If we do not, then we must
i niakti up .Mir wiiiid that elajwes and caste will grow iul that across their
line it will not he possible for individuals and citiwn U mov. That
will be uif eud of demtX'jat'y.
