This Year of 1937
There has always seemed to be
something sad about the passing of
the old year: Not because we will
be a year older, because the passing
of time should make us a year wiser.
Not because it has been a good
year, certainly not because it has
been a bad year. But because in ev-
ery year of our lives there has been
some incident, the loss of a friend-
ship,the gain of a friendship; some
kindness we have received; some
good that has come ourway; some-
thing that is near to us; something
that is fresh in our minds; something
that we do ,not want even the pass-
ing One year's time to- dim.
The hardships, 'the disappoint-
.ments, may outweigh the blessings
and the expectations—they general-
- ly do—but we are willing and even
• anxious to forget them. The hand
of time, with its d-ulling influence,
can not pass -too- swiftly over them.
So the passiqg of the old year is
• not all sad; and the coming of the
new holds so much of hope, so much
of promise, we want -to welcome it,
to be of it, and live in it.
• And no new yek in many passed
has dawned with brighter hopes, and
the promise of better things, than
this year of 1937. May these hopes
and promises all be fulfilled. May
?depression be finally and completely
lifted; may unemployment cease;
may farming come back to its own
again, and may the cities prosper.
May peace reign at horde and abroad.
And may we _wish .you a Happy
and Prosperous New Year.

• A New Conservative Leader ? .
Are we going to have a new Con-
servative leader in Federal politics?
Newspaper reports from Ottawa
and other large centres in the Do-
minion would seem, at least, to be
pointing in that direction.
The latest rumor from Parliament
Hill which found its way into the
newspapers over the week -end, was
that the choice might fall on the not
unwilling shoulders of Denton Mas-
sey, the handsomest member in the
House of Commons.
Mr. Massey might be a little young
and a little inexperienced, but he has
a wide following in Ontario, at /least,
and has gained quite a standing as
well as much popularity with the
younger element throughout the
work of his noted Bible Class in To-
ronto. •
But Mr. Massey is only one of
many men who are prominent in the
Conservative party. There is Hon.
Earl Lawson, who is said to be pro-
moting a new Conservative party
paper, and Col. George Drew can
scarcely be left out of the running.
Then there is Hon: Dr. R. J. Man-
ion, a man of wide experience, popu-
larity and ability. And what aboll:t
Mr. Bennett's • own brother-in-law,
the Hon. William D. 1Ierridge, who
has been much in the limelight re-
cently.
•Other names are former Premier
Harrington, of Nova Scotia, and for-
mer Attorney -General M. A. Mac-
• pherson, of Saskatchewan, one from
each end of the Dominion.
•Nor would the roll 1:)e complete
without the name of ,Senator Arthur
eighen, one of the ablest men in
nada, either in or outside of the
seivtative party, although 'never
nlar with the rank and file.

A Green Christmas
Strictly speaking, perhaps, it was
not a green Christmas, but there is
no doubt about' the fact that we did
not have the old-time • Christmas
weather.
Rain came driving down in sheets
the greater, part of ChristMas Day,
and the snow and key we had -been
having a little too much of during
December, melted and vanished be-
• fore it.
In fact from Christmas' Day to
• Stinday, rain washed away winter
over the whole of Ontario. But
don't look for spring yet, because
the weather man says the Christmas
weather was unusual as well as un-
seasonable.
• But Christmas Day is a home day.
We like to have good weather for it,
of course, but after all it is the spir-
it, not the weather, that makes a
real Christmas.
• And the weather before the great
day was Christmas like and season -
,able. Clear and cold arid easy to get
• about in.
And people got about, and seemed
to carry the Christmas spirit about
with them too. It was, we are told,
the best Christmas season that the
town merchants have enjoyed in
many- years.
That, too, is pretty much the re-
• cord reported over the whole of On-
• tario. Perhaps good times are back
again without •our having noted
their approach.
At least there must 'have been
• more money to spend this year and
the people spent it. Which is all
good, because we have had some'
pretty lean years, and we can stand
a lot of the other kind.
So even if it was a green Christ-
mas,, it proved to be a pretty good
Christmas after all.
•
Not The Christian Nor The
• Christmas Spirit
Judging from the Monday reports
published - in the •large city dailies,
both in this country and those across
the line, "Peace on earth and good
will towards men," found little place
in the Christmas celebration of
'many people.
In Toronto, it is said, the day and
the season were marked by a wave'
of crime that taxed the whole police
force to control. Fighting, drunken-
ness, and thievery were rampant, and
that was the sordid story in many
other large centres and cities.
It may have been only a small
minority element that brought dis-
grace upon the day, themselves, and
their towns and cities, but even a
minority element, at times, can make
• itself conspicuous. •
It is not a new element in Ontario
iife, but it seems to be a rather rap-
idly growing one, and the time has
come when a sharp check should be
made in these kind of celebrations,
whether they come at Christmas or
any other season of the year.

One a lieutenant 'coronet in our army
retired a major more titan a quarter-
century ago, he became famousfor
what he did when he was a first
lieutenant, seventeen years out of
West Point.. This little old gentle-
man is the man who carried the mes-
sage to Garcia.
Another name, of course, springs to
your iaind ttqw, the name ,of a man
who sat u a desk one -night after
dinner on Washington's Birthday, in
1839, and gave Lieutenant Andrew
Surnreers ;Rowan to the world: the
late Elbert Hubbard, called Fra El-
bertue. who ran a little print shop in
East Aurora, New York, published a
magazine, and turned out tracts and
pamphlets by the 'Score. This glib
and 'facile .inspirationaliet ,dise
cussed the Spanish War at dinner
with his son, Elbert, Jr., called Bert,
and at the mention of Rowan had

ly ,magazine, "The Philistine," was
about to go to 'press and needed an

wrote it Mean " hour ("The thing • leap-
ed hot from' my heart," he said later).
Perhaps one reason it enlarged the
fame of •Elbert Hubbard rather thaii
of Andrew Summers Rowan is that
it mentioned the gallant officer only
at the start (sketchily recounting his
undertaking and getting most of the
fade wrong), And then, went into a
typical attack on slipshod .office work-
ers, their inattention, indifference, and
ihelfheartedneSs. • It was exactly the
kind of theme to catch the eye of
rthe American business, exectifiVe,
standing restless on" the threshold of
the Go -Getter Era, the Live -Wire Ep-
och; it annealed to him the way Sen-

as puzzled by the message as they
would have been by a tralaniathep of
the jingle "Out Where the West 13e -
gine," se Popular many years later,
but they dutifully carried it about
with themi—even into the war with
Japan, where it was to give the en-
emy pause, too. "The Japanese,"
wrote Elbert Hubbard, in a proud fore-.
word to a special edition of "A Mes-
sage to Garcia" published in 1913,
"finding the booklets iti possession, of
'Russian prisoners, •conoluded that it
must be -a good thing, and aceording-
ly translated it into Japanese. And
on an 'ender of the Mikado, a Copy
was given to every man in 'the employ
of the Japanese Government, soldier
or civilian." It has been printed in
eighteen or twenty languages. The
demand for the tract has' died down
a little in thirty-seven years, but the
Roycrofters still print a lot of 50,000,
three times a year. You can get it
in five different editions, from a plain
pamphlet at ten cents to the super -
de -luxe edition at $1.25 (printed in
two ooloin, bound in limp ...leather,
with silk -lined covers). Says the
Robycnoft Shop in a big advertisingcili'cular,
circular, "You want your men to
'Carry the Message' because progress
demands You sueround yourself with
men of .gumption.”
Now let us return to Andrew Suni-
mers Rowan and strive to resurrect
him and this adventure from the flam-
boyant and paltry allusions of the
Great Editorial, with which„ however,
we must, for all completeness, begin.
"In all this Cuban business," wrote
Fra Elberttts, "there is one • man
stands cut on the horizon of my mem-
ory like Mars at perihelion. When war
broke out between Spain and the /Unit-
ed States.; 'It was very necessary to
communicate quickly with the leader
of the Insurgents: Garcia was some-
where in the mountain fastness. of
Cuba—no one knew where. No mail
or telegraph [message could reach him.
The President must .secure his co-
operation, , and quickly. What to do -
Someone said to the President,. There
is •a fellow by the name of Rowan
will find Garcia for you; if anybody
can.' Rowan was sent for and given
a letter •to be delivered to Garcia.
How the `fellow by the name of Row-
an' took the letter, sealed it,up in an
oilskin pouch,
strapped it over his
heart, in four days landed by night
off the coast of Cuba from an open
boat; disappeared into the jungle, and
in three Weeks cattle out on the oth-
er side of the island, having travers-
ed a hostile country on foot, and de-
livered his letter to Garcianeenenthinge

in detail,.. , ,•
Andrew Summers Rowan was bsorn
in 1857 ih Virginia, and entered West
Point when he was 20. He married
when he was 30., When he was 40,
rotting beyond the ordinary routine
of army life had happened to him. He
had been to this post and that, as a
second lieutenant in the 15th Infan-
try,' as a first lieutenant in the 9th:
In hie fortieth, year he found time to
write, for some reason, a book called
"The Island of Cuba,"' with maps and
illustrations, all a bit ,stiff and stodgy,.
and exactly as accurate as th,e books
from which he took his material; he
bad never been to Cuba.' 'If was, nev-
ertheless, probably this book which
accounted for his being summoned on
April 13, 1898-12 days before war
was declared en Spain --by his chief,
Colonel Arthur Wagner. The War
Department, the Colo-nel told the Lieu-
tenant, wanted to get in touch with
General Garcia (Calixto • Garcia' y In-
igues), the outstanding Cuban Insur-
gent leader, who was somewhere in
the interior of the island. This Gar-
cia was no tatterdearation. The sen
of fairly wealthy parents, he had stu-
died law, had even started practice
in Havana, when revolution fired his
heart. Born in 1840, he had, three
years after our Civil War, first struck
at the power of Spain in Cuba. Five
years after that, still, fighting, he
found himself with twenty men wur-
rounded by five •h•urvdred Spaniards,
Garcia, the story goes, put a pistol to
his head, fired, missed his brain (Cub-
ans are famously bad shots), and liv-
ed. He was captured and deported to
Spain, but soon found his; way back
to start a new revolution. He was
captare,d, again, and this time he spent
17 years in Spain tinder, surveillance.
In 1895, he evaded his guards, got ov-
er the French border, made his way
New York, and fitted out first one
ship and then a second. From the,
second, he managed to land 62 men,
six field gune, and a load of dynamite
in Cuba. With these he 'captured
Guimaro and, in January, 1897, w,on
decisive victory over the Spaniards,,
following it up with the capture of
an•othser town. From then ten, he held
the interiot• of the Province of Sant-iago until Mr. Hearst got around, the
following year, to starting the Span-
ish-American War. Garcia was some-

Because the history of Mr. Hub -

strously interesting and the annals
of Colonel Rowans (as he is now call-
ed) comparatively simple and quiet,
'we must take up, •first, "A Message

when Hubbard wrote it; it had car-
ried no title at all. But suddenly
there were demands, by the hundreds,
then by the thousands, for the, March,

weeks the • issue was sold out". A (lay
or two after that came a telegram
from 'Mr. George H. Daniels, an of-
ficial sof the New YorlinCentral. He'
wanted- 100,000 reprints of the article
with an Empire State Express adver-
tisement on. the ,back. Hubbard's
Printery, the Roycroft Stop, had no
'facilities for such a large order, so
he arranged with Daniels to have
them printed elsewhere, under the
name "A Message to Garcia." In a
few months, Daniels had had 500,000
copies printed; before the was through

his face whin • some of us failed tot .
