Good reasons for both the wish and the , prophecy exist. Happiness is within the reach of all, if only ttie will to be happy exists. Mortals have the capacity for making life pleasant or miserable, and it is finally up to them. Prosperity is of a similar quality, and de pends in a great degree on individual effort. Man can not command the elements, but he can take ' advantage of them, and may turn even mis fortune into a blessing if he but apply his energy and intellect in the right way. The year that has just gone was full of, many" . trials and tribulations for all. It belied its prom ise in some regards, and more than redeemed them in other ways. With all its apparent evils, its business depression and generally unsatisfac tory record of having disappointed many fond hopes, it still brought something of good In its 1 trail, and above all it gave ample proof to sup , port the old adage that the worst of our troubles never happen. ' , t The tabulated review published in The Bee , this morning must convince anybodyt might nave Deen venmTer worse than thev ; were in Omaha and. Nebraska, and that, too, without reaching bedrock. Optimism is justified, ' because everjr(Jtwar(i indication tends to a brighter futiVe, n an iines of business the for ward loolr prevails, men are willing to forget the trouUVa nnrl vrtrriea rtf 1021 anil arp farinff The "boom" of the war days is over, and most of its wreckage is cleared away. . Stability is approaching in all lines, and buyer and seller, manufacturer and jobber, farmer and stock raiser have, measured the future as far as human judgment will permit, they know what their losses are,' and are encourage,d by what they can, see. With all business on a sounder basis, the' prospect of a revival in industry, a renewal of trie consumptive demand of the gf eatest mar- ket the world ever knew, our own home market, the purchasing power of the American people, . prosperity must come to our land. "Sweet are the uses of adversity," and one of the lessons that has been sunk into the minds of all during the last twelve months has been the advantage of real work. -- 1 .' ' t- .. Plans laid locally are all for the extension and improvement of Omaha's greatness. The housing problem is less acute, but yet requires , much "jbuilding that will be done. Down-town construction plans and public improvements are not yet finally determined upon, but a great deal . of work will be set on foot early In the spring, affording employment for thousands who have looked in vain for employment for months. Fac tories are actively getting ready for the customers they will have to serve, and merchants are re sponding with orders more indicative of a better trade. The "hand to mouth" days of buying are passing, and everybody feels the better for it It is not desirable that anybody kick' the i brake off and let things go the way they did four years ago, or three years ago, for now is the era of constructive effort, not mere speculative un dertaking. With a will to win and resolution tempered by experience, Omaha and Nebraska ' are ready to start on 1922, 'determined to come .out of it better in all ways, because energy, . thrift and wisdom will bring reward. Hunt for Heresy Renewed. y Bryn Mawr is-the , latest school to come under the surveillance of the active heretic hunters. An objection has been lodged as to the soundness of the doctrine or dogma taught there, and until the self-appointed inquisitors are satis fied ort this point, the school will suffer the dis- ! pleasure of those who are timorous on the' point. This raises the question: Why should Bryn Mawr, or any other school not professedly sec tarian, undertake to teach religion at all, save as the fundamentals are taught in connection with the regularly adopted cultural courses? ' Heresy hunting is always in order with the super-zealous. It has been a common sport for many centuries, perhaps ever since man adopted a form of religious worship. No one can tell just when creeds began to be formulated, but as far as they can be traced towards their origin they have been found cruelly insisting on ob servance, with persecution and punishment for those who do not subscribe to the dogmas as out lined. As creeds multiplied, so did the hunt for heretics extend, on til the enlightenment that brought the reformation came the ideas of toler ance that hare served to soften some of the as perities that onct stfrrotmded . the process of seeking salvation. A school, if it has any purpose at all, is to instruct and enlighten the students, whose quest is truth. And religion has nothing to fear from troth. If it can not stand the test, it has no right to exist, and any religion seeking followers tight to welcome inquiry as to its source and I Its support When bigotry enters a school, true i .. . ... . religion must make way, ana uie cue 01 xrutn muit suffer, Bryn Mawr will doubtless survive the present Inquisition, but the cause of pure religion wilt not be in any good way served by the agitation. Trie Best Kind of Dog. No one is ever heard to say that he does not like dogs. Perhaps he does not care for a blood hound or a mastiff or he may look with contempt on toy spaniels and Pekinese, but there It dog to fit every taste. For that matter, once one is cast Into dally companionship with any tort of dog, be it mongrel or thoroughbred, the two are more than likely to become fast companiont. The best kind of dog is not that of any one breed, but one that has been traind well Even though many of these pets develop very bad manners, running out in the street to chase automobiles or to bark at strangers, killing chickens, tearing clothes off the wash line or re- fusing to come when called, still their masters at least remain steadfast For that matter, such de linquency reflects more on master than on dog. The education of a puppy, while sot as im portant, should no more be neglected than should that of a child, for a dog is a real companion only when well trained. There is a short period of infancy when the playful brain of a puppy refuses to interest it self, in any of the tricks or etiquette of dogdom. One doesn't expect much of a child just a few months old, and there is no more reason to look for intelligence in a dumb brute of similar age. Most dogs are, however, fully developed after one year. Real training, according to experts, should in most cases be begun at 4 or 5 months, sometimes earlier in the case of females, for these usually learn easier. Under that age whipping is not advised, and only a good scold-, ing recommended. i One who has trained a dog should make an excellent parent Many children are brought up in a manner that would ruin the best dog ever kenneled. For instance, in talking to a dog, one must not shout or give two or three orders at once. It is necessary to keep cool and speak in ordinary tones. Dogs should not be pun ished unless they are cer.tain to know what it is for. Praise should be reserved until their trick is over, and not given in advance. Very often proud possessors of a dog will say that it understands every word that is said and will bring forward a certain amount of evidence. However, in learning to obey commands, a dog should always hear the same words for the same things synonyms are of no use. Knowledge of just a few terms is all that is necessary; "Home," "Quiet," "No" and "Kennel up" practically com pleting the list There are spoiled children, and there are spoiled dogs, but always there is some one to love them. Passersby may throw stones and condemn, but just as no man is so lost to all that is good that he can not make a firm friend of some dog, so is there no dog that is not able to attach himself to some affinity among man. Did Life Begin? rondon, arwinW sses himset: phemistically, ability to tell that all the scientific y not be well based. Pro" eminent must be ab; to agnostici scurantism'beo life began.. His ass world will follow, hi iorld- neory rW'ven wherVaW, In effect, the professor admits that, failing to discover the secret so well hidden, and therefore not able to account for life on physical grounds, he is driven to reject the supernatural. This does not sound like the logical conclusion of an orderly mind. ' - , Prof. Loeb many years ago succeeded in synthetically vivifying the e.ggs of sea urchins, and thereby giving some support to the theory that life may have originated in a proper com bination of chemicals, but with that established there yet remains the greater;' question of the source of the chemicals. Conceding the inde structibility of matter, the universal diffusion of the elements, or any of the physical facts, and accepting the Einstein theory as the nucleus of a law, we must yet turn somewhere for the begin ning. It may be enough for the obscurantist to say that probably matter always existed in iome form, and therefore always will exist Yet the inquiring mind will not be content with that an swer, for it is insufficient. " v A great poet and philosopher, who gave many years of study to the question, following human thought back as 'far as it can be traced, wrote: "Faith begins where reason falls exhausted." There is the recourse" for Prof. Bateson and all other biologists who find themselves in his predicament. Their science will suffer little if it be coupled to a mite of simple faith right at the point where their reason will carry them no fur ther. That Promethean fire Othello longed for is no more within their grasp than it was in his, yet its spark still gives life to all that live and move. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Peace and Progress on the Pacific. The Pacific ocean is no broader or deeper than before, but it seems vastly more important since the calling of the international conference on its problems. What now is clearly recogniz able is, that the center of gravity has shifted from the old world to the new. It is only as in terlopers that the overpopulated nations of Europe enter into the question of the future of the Pacific. The countries directly concerned, properly speaking, are only those bordering this great sea. It is the people of the United States, of Can ada and the rest of the American continent of Japan, of Australia, of Russia and of China, that are primarily involved in and connected with these questions. The presence of small pos sessions in the vicinity held by right of discov ery or force by European nations does not give them the power or the right that has been as sumed. , After considering the chaos that -exists in Europe today, the conviction comes that the fu ture of civilization may be on the Pacific In America and Australia the natural resources have as yet been scarcely tapped. The same thing is true of the forests,' mines and lands of Siberia.' China also has immense stores of nat ural wealth that are yet to be developed. Japan is rising as another Britain, into an important manufacturing country, still with much that may be dcfie. On the other side of the world are nation with scarcely any resource not having been Jbsed to the utmost lere may be some question whether or not they re definitely and finally headed downhill there lis no such doubt that the peoples of the Pacificre going up.

These vitamines in an acid me dium, such as tomato juice, are not destroyed by heating or the other experiences of canning. Canned to mato juice is, therefore, fine for babies.

In payment the secretary of wur accepted some i&to.ooo.OOO of additional obligations, of which 1400,000,000 waa paid by France alono, and the aecretary of the navy took 12, 200, 000 in notes from Po land for naval equipment. Since then the American relief administra tion has accepted obligations of sev eral of the stricken nations, many of whom were neutral during the wur, to the extent of $84,000,000. of which $51,000,000 came from Po land alone. In all, therefore, we ad vanced some $10,000,000,000 to Europe, and as yet no Interest has been puld on the principal.

Most of the $4,166,000,000 that Great Brit ain owes the United States trcajjpry today represents its guarantee,. Jts endorsement, of the notes of minor nations, principal among which was France. France similarly advanced to Italy and Russia, and a vast net work of loans was built up between nations. The United States obtained the cash with whloli to make these ad vances from its own people In May, 1917, $z.000,ooo,ooo was ob tained from the sale of the first Liberty bond issue, and at intervals of about six months thereafter the people of this country subscribed to an aggregate of $21,474,000,000 of Liberty bonds and Victory notes. Additional expenditures of several billions were made during the war, and immediately afterward. In order to bring the boys home, so that on August 91, the national debt I reached the highest point on record, just over $26,000,000,000. Of the sums received from sales of Liberty bonds, however, about half repre sents the advances this country, was called upon to make to its allies.

The allied nations, meanwhile, have negotiated for a funding of their debts to this country, and it has been suggested that the interest be fixed at 5 per cent per annum.- If received from all of the debtor na tions, this would return about $560,000,000 per annum, or about one-eighth the national income. That is the fiscal story of the allied debts. Now come Mr. Lloyd George and various other foreign ministers with the suggestion that a grand gesture be made. I Succinctly, he proposes that each nation shall cancel -the sums owed to it by other nations. Obviously, from a pecuniary stand point solely, France has nothing to lose by having England cancel the amounts it owek England loses the sums that are owed it, but would gain the $5,000,000,000 odd that it owes the United States. And the United States is left holding the bag. In ordinary business, procedure such a proposition among creditors as that advanced by Mr. Lloyd George would be preposterous.
