S999SC THE PROBLEM " The new year is bound to be a great one in human progress. It may see tremendous advance in knowledge and application of that almost unknown force, elec tricity, and higher, more practi cal understanding of all matters of science and mechanics is bound to come. But greatest, highest, best of all is the promised progress to ward common brotherhood. Hand in hand are the spirit of freedom and love of our fellow men marching on. Liberty, equal ity, fraternity are, more plainly than ever before, the goal of hu man desire and effort. 'We asked C. A. McGree, ed itor of the San Diego Sun, what was his best thought, and he ans wered: ' "What do the people want most?. Why, just a fair chance to live com fortably and decently on a fair day's wages for a fair day's work. The people are going to get that chance, too. Better j)itch in and help solve the big problem right." "Just a fair chance"! Isn't that the way to put it? No talk about the world owing every man a living. "Just a fair chance." That's God's truth. That's the whole question. Science, liter ature, mechanics, and the arts will all do their "big things in 1912. The humbles j! among us can all pitch in and help solve civilization's real big problem, the giving of "just a fair chance." All Very Traebut .
