With joy, the new comed, and properly so for in the time ahead the world will continue its progress and no matter how good past accomplishment, future achievement will be better. Seldom are expectations fulfilled, | rarely is advancement uniform; but forward move- ment is persistent and, though often interrupted, never stops entirely. The forthcoming twelve months promise a fair share of improvement in every kind of worthy endeavor. To look forwatd is a racial characteristic. The unknown attracts and intrigues.

The trait that prompted early peoples to move from place to place prevents their descendunts today from being satisfied with a static condition of almost any kind and encourages them to seek | change to their advantage. restlessness accounts for most, progress. Long before the’ Christian era, the period cor- responding to the Georglan New Year inspired men to turn from the past to face the future. At this season, the sun starts its march northward and steadily solar rays fall more directly toward the earth and impart greater warmth; darkness is shorter in diurnal duration, daylight longer. Now, nature alters her ways from the old to the new. The new is the befter. It presages new verdure in forests, new crops in fields. It is another begin- ning; the world is young again. But the New Year is not a birth; it is a re- storation. Today does not inaugurate a period of ignorant, helpless infancy, but rather an era of advanced maturity revived to pristine vigor and endowed with the wisdom of the ages. No re- peated beginning is worth attempting unless it purposes betterment over former effort. To start life again without the possibility of correcting the errors of a spent existence is #bhorent even as a speculation. New Year resolutions are said to be no longer in favor. They should be. In the light of exper- ience, they ought to be made with a view of avoid- ing the mistakes of the old year. Of what profit is cultivated intelligence if it does not serve as a guide to continued improvement? The ability to know is worthless without the will to do. There must be a determination to change things for the better else they will be worse twelve months nence. At the advent of the New Year, conditions in Alaska excel those in nearly all other parts of the Union, and the outlook is brighter. Unemployment is negligible, business thrives, and feels but little, if any, of the depression experienced by trade in the States; mine, fishery and fur products record increases; tourist travel, while less than had been expected, nevertheless shows gratifying proportions; population is larger. In the immediate future, present activities are certain of continued advancement; additional in- dustrial developments in the use of forestry resources for the making of pulp and paper are assured, there is every reason to believe, and plans for the International Highway between the States and {he Northland will be brought closer to realization. Nowhere else in the world are opportunities for success so numerous as in Alaska. Nowhere else is a man’'s destiny left so completely to his own making. Nowhere ' else is there such positive promise of a Prosperous. Happy New Year, if not all, human ONTARIO LIBERALS JETTISON DRYS. After long years of opposition to Government control of liquor and of support to the Prohibition cause, the Liberty Party of Ontario has apparently dropped the Drys overboard and switched to the Wet side as represented by Provincial administra- tion of the sale of liquor. The success of four years of Government liquor store operation is said to have been the impelling motive for the change in policy. In two elections, the Liberals in the Province advocated Prohibition and fought Government con- trol. It lost on both occasions. Now Liberal leaders make no effort to keep secret their intention of freeing the ‘party from the domination of the Dry fanatics. The present system in Ontario, they . say, is there and there to stay, and the people are tired of Prohibition being kept in politics. The _present Liberal leader, W. E. N.

It's another emphasis on “psychology,”—descrip-| tion and explanation of states of consciouseness| as such,—so popular lately in the phrase, “psychology of fear.” Perhaps Woodrow Wilson was unduly de-| |rided in 1913 for stressing it in relation to business? | It had something to do with the 1928-29 “new era And very much to do just now with a blue,| scared, perhaps just mean, streak in many folks who | perfectly well could, but simply won't, “live nor-| mally.” That's the social angle (in its broad | sense) ,—the individuals who, in their way of living, | 1even more wilfully and stupidly than certain labor unions and some stores, refuse to co-operate in| a passing emergency as the President exhorts us all| {to do. { “Live normally” has, as a phrase, come to viv: with its twin opposite—"psychology of fear.” Given |first currency hereabouts, as a visiting lecturer, by| | Banker Traylor of Chicago and by Chairman Phelzmi |of our State Unemployment Commission, it hifs many of us who'd quite needlessly live subnormally | —at a_ crucial time when many jobless are living abnormally, not from choice, but from compul-| sion.

There'd be little earning| opportunity! And we could dismiss symphony, opera | art museum, all amenities, and revert toward desert ascerticism or cave age. (Even more so than if we! listened to some who deplore “technological unem- ployment.”) It would be a suicidal as well as al vicious circle. We'd help destroy our complex civ-| ilization—and firsl our dividends! Silly, also, because all who're cheese-paring be-l cause of an ostrich-like timidity, or an alibi-seeking meanness, are probably cheating themselves, alike in terms of creature comforts and of dollars and cents. | The Nobel Peace Prize. (Manchester Weekly Guardian.) The Nobel Peace Prize for 1929 has been award- ed to Mr. Frank Kellogg, and that for 1930 to Archbishop Soderblom, of Sweden. Mr. Kellogg is naturally assoclated with the cause of peace be- cause of the famous pact which bears his name. He was largely responsible for an international ges- ture against war which, whatever its practical limi- tations may be, was at any rate worth making if only for it moral effect. The award of the Nobel Peace Prize is ever the occasion for a certain amount of cynical comment. One can sympathize with this. For the eminent statesmen to whom it has been awarded, great as may be their passion for peace, have lamentably failed to express that passion in the most adequate manner—by pursuing an effective policy of disarmament. Yet their en- deavors have been fruitful up to a point. They have at least created a new psychology in relation to war. The world is still prepared for war, but those public utterances which glorify it are re- garded as shameful. And that is something—a step in the right direction. The Nobel Prize is not intended necessarily for the most scrupulous pacifist, | but for the man who most effectively furthers the cause of peace—brings the realized ideal of peace a little nearer. If we try to fit the peace prize- winners—Sir Austen Chamberlain, M. Briand, Gen- eral Dawes—into the role of enhaloed saints, then the thought of the armies and navies and air forces that they so sedulously preserve makes them bitterly comic figures. But if we think of them as men who, within the limitations of an existing situation, are striving to prevent the occurrence of war, their assoclation with the Nobel Prize is not so amiss. Archbishop Soderblom is not a politiclan. His work for peace has been mainly directed towards unifying the various religious bodies in solid op- position to war so that they at least, should an- other fever like that of 1914 break out, might be counted on the side of the angels. If, as scientists teach, man is the only animal that laughs, it is difficult to see how he can dodge hysterics as soon as all the reports come in on the benefits the farmer has enjoyed from the Hoover relief plan.—(Lexington, Ky. Herald.) We move that if another war should come Knute Rockne and his Irish be sent to the front to “play it out,” winner take all—(Wheeling Reg- ister.)
