THE second decade of the twentieth century has opened
auspiciously. Whatever may have hcen the prog
ress of the past, that of the imemdiate .future will excel
in many respects. The world has gained an impetus of
development that cannot easily be impeded. The watch
word of the day is " Forward and Upward."
There is making wonderful progress in the recognition
of the brotherhood of man. Nations respect the rights of
nations, and employ arbitration in the settlement of their
differences. Killers more fully appreciate the content
ment and happiness of their subjects whom they more
largely employ in the arts of peace. Employers more
equally share profit with their employes whose conditions
of life are more generally subjects of their solicitude. Men
are more fully actuated by the spirit of righteousness in
all their activities. There are more forces opposed to vice
and wickedness than ever before, no matter where found
or in what form. There are higher ideals of life and great
er efforts to attain them.
In the arts and sciences there is progress tantamount
to revolution. .Intelligence is hard crowding ignorance.
The printing press is fast vanishing illiteracy. Apprecia
tion of rights and privileges is supplying better govern
ment. Wonderful discoveries and inventions are quicken
ing communication and transportation. The air itself has
been conquered. All of Mother Shipton's prophesies have
1 l lilMI "11 I 111' 1 . . . . .... 1 ..-... n 1 i
ijcen iuiiiiieu nut one, aim iniiigs sue Jiever tiruamuii ui
are coming to pass. jIen know more about themselves,
are living according to their knowledge, and arc living
longer. The world is growing better in more ways than
one, and there is a general disposition to make it better
still.
J'n the forces making all this progress, and in the mo
mentum of progress itself there is a potential of wonderful
possibilities, yes, probabilities. Almost anything in the
way of advancement is possible, many things are probable,
for there is no chance for retrogression. And what is best,
nearly everything worth while accomplished tends toward
greater good. This is why it is bettor to live 1odajr than
a generation ago, and why it is still better to be born today
than to be passing with the present generation.
There should be happiness in the fact that we have
been permitted to enter the second decade of the twentieth
century, for no decade has promised so much. .It devolves
on us, however, to realize greatest happiness by contribut
ing our share to all that is making for the good, for the
welfare of mankind. It has been united effort that has
achieved all that has been accomplished during the decade
recently ended, and it will be combined effort that will
bring the results of this decade. Brain is aiding brain,
and fortunes are consecrated to the great forward move
ment. There should be renewed determination to do best all
that comes to us to do, and to give the world full value
received for all the world gives us. If every man, woman
and child would best serve his own interests he will strive
so to live, not merely for the good that comes to him, but
because he will do right by so living. So here's to honest
and sincere endeavor, and a part in the greatest forward
movement of mankind. Lei your watchword be " forward
and Upward."

Men of Capital Invest.
Men of capital are investing in
land, looking to the prospect of
planting orchards. Large tracts are
being cleared and many places put
under irrigation. Hoads arc
changed, bridges built, rural free de

CHICAGO, 111., Jun. 'JS. In the

of 8000 street ear men here, Mayor
IJusso today called n conference of
presidents of traction lines for Mon
day, when he will urge that conces
sions bo made to the men.
The trouble is due to u dispute re
garding tho interpretation of a clause
in the agreement between the Chicago
City Railway company and the Chi
cago Railways company, the two big
systems and their employes. The
agreement provides a m'inimum
working day of nine hours with ti
maximum of 11 hours. The unions
claim that men employed on extra
runs for one or two hours should be
paid for a full 8-hour day. This de
mand is vigorously opposed by the
companies.
