As a matter fact, we bid farewell to 1922 with belated realization that the vear has seen us launched definitely on an era of re- stored prosperity, and in the belfef that the new year will witness such consolidation of that prosperity that the nation may go ahead with its business in a confidence which has not been warranted in any previous post-war year. Evidence of of this returning pros- perity comes from numerous and authentic sources. At the beginning of the year unemployment Wwas re- garded as the most serious of the na- tion's problems. It is not a problem at all at the year's end. for unemploy- ment on a nutmn wide scale has ceased to exist. Work is not as plentiful as it was rlnrm" the war years, when men could pick and choose in the mat- ter of jobs, hut there is no considera- hie number of men teday out of jobs who really want them. A few days ago Secretary Hoover of the Depal ment of Commerce submitted figures showing not only revival in domestic trade and try, but a wholly unexpected improv ment with respect to foreign com- merce. The net of his showing was that while statesmen have been dis- coursing wisely, or otherwise, on how to restore world trade the traders of the world have been busily and suc- cessfully applying self-restoratives. Even the surplus of our farm prod- ucts, which has been the cause of so much gloom in agricultyral circles, 1s managing to find markets abroad, with the prospect that before ancther harvest the surplus will have been re- duced to normal, with corresponding reduction in rural discontent. - On another page of today’s Star is published an article by Dr. Parmelee, director of the Bureau of Railway Eco-! nomics. which constitutes perhaps the | most surprising contribution to the testimony that prosperity is returning. Tt shows that despite the handicaps and 1osses of the coal strike and the rellway shopmen’s strike, net operat- ing income of the railroads increased $145,980,000, constituting & net profit { {or less and of aircrate.” iall governments concerned.’ reavement or absence from the city or that the lady was assisting at some one else's reception. The callers were mostly men. They came afout, in the horse cars and in hacks, and this receiving custom was still general when the herdics and hansom cabs appeared on our streets. It was the custom for the women at these receptions to serve eggnog, apple toddy and strong punches. It was widely believed that a reception could not be a success—that is, would not attract many men—unless strong drink was served. At that time tem- perance sentiment was making head- way, but had not spread very widely among the people of Washington. The,temperance speakers and workers pointed to the old-fashioned New Year reception as a horrible example. Gradually the number of these recep- tions at which non-alcoholic drinks were served increased. The sentiment spread among the women that they should not hand out strong drink to men, and for this reason, and others, lhe “receiving” customn declined. One ireason was that Washington was growing from a small town to a large city, and the number of men having no acquaintance with the persons re- ceiving, and taking advantage of these receptions, was increasing to an in- tolerable extent. And so the custom slowly passed away. New Year day continues a day of receiving and call- ing, but the receptions are on @ aif- ferent basis than those of two gen- crations ago. Further Naval Curtailment. The naval appropriation bill, passed by the Senate yesterday, com- tains unchanged the House provision requesting the President “to enter into negotlations with the govern- ments of Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan. with the view of reaching an understanding or agreement rela- tive to limiting the construgtion of all types and sizes of subsurface and sur- face craft of 10,000 tons displacement as Developments which followed Sena- tor Borah's proposal to amend this paragraph to provide for the call also of an international economic confer- ence have reduced this ‘“request” by Congress to the status merely of an amiable expression of the wish that a way may be found further to lighten the burdens of armaments, without argusing anywhere expectation of im- barrassment to the administration, the President having eflvt‘lh(‘ly disposed of the matter in “advance when, in his letter to Senator Lodge. he said of further armament limitation: “Such an agreement is much to be desired, whenever practicable, but we may very reasonably postpone further en- deavors along that line until the agree- ments made at the Washington con- ference secure the final sanctions of That something needs to be done.: and will be done. in the matter of | Hmiting secondary naval craft is ap- parent to every one, in view of the construction programs which certain forelgn powers are undertaking, for these programs demonstrate that com- petition in armaments is not to be ended merely by removal of competi- tion in the building of capital shipe.

This is the day to take stock, being the last day of the year, the day of reckoning to consider that new leaf thet 'is to be turned tomorrow. Is it to be turned, or not? Is any effort to be made to start the year with a reso- lution of better conduct? There is something more than mere tradition in the regarding of New Year day as a time for efforts at per- any sonal betterment. Of course, other day in the year is just as good, but there is something about the first day that invites endeavors for better- ing! There is nobody who cannot find will not make the perfect man.

The majority have hopes of his controlling that body, and are speculating about his probable choice for leader. If he finds himself in position to name the man, Mr. Wilson will not face as simple a proposition as Mr. Bryan faced at Baltimore in 1912 When the pinch came Mr. Bryan had but two men before him—Mr. Wilson, who had never been, and Champ Clark, 'who had always been, his friend. To the surprise and chagrin of Mr. Clark and his followers, Mr. Bryan bestowed his favor on Mr. Wil. son, and thus, as events developefl, made him President. Mr. Wiison will have several men before him, all good friends and true, in 1924, Mr. McAdoo stands near to him— too near for comfort {n thg matter of this contest.

MARSHALL, Former Viee Preaident of the United States. F a man has either faith or philosophy he can cheer him- self not a little by thinking back to the first New Year day and retrospectively consider- ing the first man who looked upon it. To contemplate the historic Adam may be helpgul in lifting the load from the shoulders of those who think in a thousand ways Thristian civilization is about tb break down and the individual te go to his ruin. Each man of a million may feel himself to be the most helpless, hopeless and un- done creature since time began. Yet, bad as may be his condition, it is_idyllic in contrast with that of the first gentleman on that New Year morn, when he stepped from the Garden of Eden. his bride by his side. He had no friends, no home. no money, no trade, no job and no newspaper in which to ad- vertise for one; and yet he turned to Eve and said, “A happ’ New Year, my dear.” Notwithstanding his plight he kept moving along in faith and confidence. He was never utterly cast down nor dis- mayed. He knew what he had lost, but he neither cursed God nor died. He had a rare philosophy. Things were just as bad with him and with the world as they could possibly be. But in attaining unto knowledge he had aiso gathered fruit of the Tree of Wisdom, and 80 he said, “What is bad is part my fault; let me be brave enough to help restore {t.” If Adam could have faith measurably to prove that he sincerely meant his greet- ing, what right have any of us to say there is no hope after all these long centuries that this will be a happy New Year? * % k % The heathen had for his consola- tion the myth that every evil in life had escaped from Pandora’s box. save hope. The Christian al- ways has for his faith a bellef that in the midst of evils there is a divinity overruling everything for the good of man. Whether you call it faith or hope, it has been the anchor of individuals for un- told generations in hours of doubt and uncertainty. How far the heathen was willing to have his hope deferred, I cannot say. but all thoughtful souls since the first Christmas have felt that. ho differ- ence how angry the seas. th ship was sailing onward to a di- vine event.
