Paden Thinks It "Would Better to Spend Xtw Year's Kve in Contemplation; Little Interviews. He Legitimate Public Investment CONNECTION with the proposed rnaaa scenic boulevard, it is to be borate in mind that the public money it is proposed to spend would be invested, first, in erecting the neecssary concrete parapets to make the drive absolutely safe; second, in smoothing the surface to make it passable, and in making a promenade on the outer rim; third, in erecting seats and pavilions; fourth, in light instalation and light maintenance; fifth, in parking the city's property and maintaining parking; sixth, in constructing the part of the scenic drive that circles the mountain and goes over its point. No part of the public money would be spent now or hereafter in paving, in sidewalks adjacent to private property, or in any other items of improvement that, elsewhere in the city, are paid for direct by abutting property owners. The abutting owners would have to look out for these things in due time, fr1 themselves. There must be generous cooperation by the individual property owners on the mesa, with the city administration, to make the project feasible.

But there mist also be full recognition by the citizens generally, having no direct interests' iri mesa real estate, of the fact that this project is unique, and for the perpetual benefit of all the people of the whole city, in a remarkable way, and that the city as a hole may justly be called upon to pay a fair share of the cost of makisg the improvement as it should be made. If the mesa property owners give the rightofway to the city free ei foat to the public, their responsibility ends there, except as to paving and stSewalking the permanent driveway. All the rest of the cost may justly and mosi wisely be 1 assumed by the city as a whole, through the mayor and council, and appro- from public funds for the purposes above specified cannot be justly apposed by any taxpayer. ihe Herald, in urging this improvement, as it has done tenia great many leais, is wholly aismteresxeo ana speaks puieiy nuui uuutsiueiiauuns ui puuuc Orient and as a general taxpayer, for no person in authority connected with this Few spaper has, ever has had, or expects to have, any interest, direct or indirect, in row nership 01 any real estate to oe Denenrea oy uie yiuposea improvement.

"Duels are fought on the stage with rapiers, but instead oB scientifically fencing, the actors use a combination of saber and broadsword! work, which, while it is spectacular, is; so absolutely untrue that it spoils the affect for anyone who knows the least bit about the art of fencing.

It is a new field of El Paso trade expansion, but it promises to be a profitable one. Profitable, that is, to all parties concerned. To Phoenix, it simply means complying the fundamental rule of good business practice reciprocity.

To Phoenix, it means transferring a part of her wholesale trade Los Angeles and other more distant points having no common interests with Arizona and no concern but purely selfish exploitation, to El Paso, which city has many common interests with Phoenix, and which never overlooks an opportunity to boost Phoenix and Arizona and everything in them. To El Paso, it means a natural and normal use of her natural trade opportunities, the wise competition of progressive merchants for business that should have been theirs long ago, but that had been allowed to go elsewhere for lack of local enterprise enough to go out after it Phoenix gains because by trading with El Paso her merchants are able to buy in a nearer and a cheaper market than- they formerly patronized. El Paso has certain natural advantages of location, and certain special advantages conferred by her splendid railroad facilities, that other southwestern cities lack, and by sharing the benefits of these advantages with her neighbors, she benefits them all while benefiting herself. Intensive cultivation of trade means closer cooperation, not closer competition. Suck progress as this expansion of El Paso's trade into more distant Arizona territory means betterment widely distributed, for the reason that the benefits are distinctly reciprocal, and what Arisona invests in EI Paso comes back to her many fold, whereas Arizona money sent to California or far eastern cities never comes back to her.

I New Year Wishes fJSW YEAR resolutions have gone qut of style; the men do not solemnly swear off from drink and tobacco and gaming as the clocks chime midnight, nor do the giris vow 'to leave off paint and saying catty things and running up bills for chiffons, nor do the older young folks find the first of January particularly efficacious for jpoughing off their sins and weaknesses. Other forces than the new year and sentiment are compelling the young man to awear off before the midnight turning of the year. Success in business pegs away at him all the time to rid him of his particular vices. The girls unfortunately haw no such force behind them urjrine them to better themselves bodv and soul. and! having largely forsaken the poetry books wherein all that sweetest and highest in women is praised to the skies, they have to be good just because of themselves.

The young girl has as little help in finding the way as anybody in this world. Praised and petted for her beauty, flattered every step, succeeding by smiles and pretty clothes, it is a wonder there is so much stamina as there is, and that she I'ncjs her way so well. The best new year wish for her is that she mav find a happy wav of service and a way to truth along her glittering path, and that all that is flimsy the lideals the world insists upon flinging about her may be made real worth and truth cy ner own ngflt mindedness towards the world. For the older young folks the best new year's wish, aside from abiding faith, they may think philosophically and with a saving sense of humor. he younger young folks, the boys and girls in their teens, one only wishes 1 junxany lur we growing minds and souls.

"Some statistical efficiency expert might do a little figuring on the nutnbeif of 1913 dates that were throwrf away New Tear's," said David McKnight, chief clerk of the railway mail service. "There are approximately 188,000 post-offices in the United States. Of this number Texas has 30M.

5n each office there are from fivetq 1 Hating stamps of Various kinds with the date 1913 on These will have ti be discarded. The railway mall clerks must each have one of these stamp? for stamping letters. Then there are millions of rubber stamps in use by the business men which have the year numeral permanently atached. These will have to be thrown away. These year numbers are as useless as a discarded envelope after the end of the year and are thrown in the junk pile for old metal or old rubber.

It would be interesting to know just how much is lost each year by this practice." "Honolulu Is not the gay and tropical outh Sea Island eity that fiction has declared it to be," said Robert Martin, who has just returned from a visit Uo Hawaii. "I expected to find a city of much life and action and plenty of color and gaiety. Instad it is a sleepy town with the missionaries own ing much or the land and in control of affairs. It is a beautiful city naturally, but the life there Is none too strenuous and everyone seems to take it easy.

It has fallen in the Diossom niuiii -spring, in torrid summer. In the vintage season and amid the snows and cold of winter. Foi most of the people or a morion and Europe, It falls upton 1 the first of January, or of the second winter month. As logical as this seems to determine the beginning of a new year at the point marking the of another solar year. New Year's day of the Christian calendar fail to correspond with the initial dates of niany other calendar systems, even among those of modem times.

The Christian era has been, in operation a little over 1300 years.

In ages when the bonds between peoples were loose, and each little community formed a whole within itself, each was possessed of its own calendar.

And the confusion of time among the communities was extreme. This was true among the western civ ilizations during tne nrst eight centuries of the Christian era. Formerly "Were Three Systems. During the time of conflict between the Christian and- the pagan worlds, there were three main systems of time reckoning. They were the Babylonian, the Greek and the Roman.

New Year's day coincided with Easter. English authors have always reckoned the historical year, as commencing with January 1, and the French king, Charles IX, issued an edict in January, ,1663, ordaining that the beginning of the year should henceforth take place upon January 1. The general practice, however, of considering the year as beginning with January 1 was not established until after the acceptance of the calendar as reformed by pope Gregory XIII.

This reform was made and accented I by the Catholic states in 1583. Protes tant uermany ana uenmarK were slower in accepting the reform, adopting the Gregorian calendar first in 1700, while the English, influenced by their bitterness toward the Catholics due to the years of bloody- struggle between these faiths in that country, delayed their change from the Julian calendar until 1752. The Russians, members of the Greek church which was early estranged from Rome, have never adopted the Gregorian reform, and at the present time there is a difference of 13 days between the beginning of the new year in the Russian calendar and the New Tear's day ot me common era.
