Nevertheless the resolutions which are made bespeak of a world of good and show that there is in the heart of every one who makes the resolutions a spark of ambition to be j ust a little better and show up well for the future. It will never do not to make resolu¬ tions feeling ali the while that they are futile. It is a bad omen “ and shows a lack o^ will power not to even try to keep them. The greatest mistake is made in making a long and interminable list of them and then by trying to keep one or the other the rest are broken unconsciously. When the checkup čomes then it is seen how many were broken and the courage to carry on is broken in despair. The rest are given up with the idea that since so many were broken then the rest may as ivell be broken. That idea of making and breaking resolutions is a very hu¬ man istitutions and it shows us how human we really are. The mind is ever so willing to institute the program outlined but when it comes to practice ali of those things that have bden re- solved then it is hard totkeep. It would be much better to make only one or two resolutions of great importance and stick to them with ali the power within command. By making the number very small the idea is conveyed that there is not much to do and yet it wiil be hard enough to keep if one wishes to keep to the whole program. If we were making up a set of resolutions we would confine ourselves to only three resolutions and then proceed to keep them. Wi£h slight variations as to the meaning of the terms we would like to suggest the same be done by ali of our readers for we are sure that they will be inclusive enough to include everything :f“| j) that anyone should be concerned and that will make the whole; m ,,pt the new year just a little better time of our life.spent and make! t. i?Y the sphere of our existence a little better plače to absorb the air ^ J Our resolutions would be something like this: O-/ 1 I .. on this New Year’s: day resolve to be a gentleman in ali of my contacts with my fel- ^ >DpA December ?1ct ’ 1930.

STATEMENT OF POLICY This review edition of the Cleveland Journal is dedicated to the! interests. of ali the Slovenes of ali the communities and dedi¬ cated to the work that they are doing for themselves and for the the progress of the whole nationality. It has ben the poiicy of the Cleveland Journal to encourage : nything that has some aspect on the life of the Slovenes and particularly the youth to whom the Cleveland Journal is dedicated. In the past we have been interested in ali the doing of the Slo¬ venes and that will be our policy in the future. Further the Cleve¬ land Journal has assumed the aspect of a community paper and is dedicated to everything that happens in the community or communities for it believes that everything that is being done in some way effects the Slovenes.

SUHADOLNIK is)®®®®<*X®sxšX9®S<« In the fall of 1877, Gregorčič enrolled in the uni- versity with the firm intention of studying ciassicai philology but because of his many duties as a priest and because of his poor health he never actually stu- died at the university. He was also offered several po- sitions, among them the position of catechist and, the . position of domestic priest at the court of the count of Windischgratz at Planina. These he declined. Later, he was sorry because he could not decide to put in an application for the position as secretary of the Slo¬ venska Matica in Ljubljana of which he was assured if his application was received in 1881. In the fall of the same year his ailment became acute and he was forced to ask for temporary retirement which he spent it Rifenburg and at the home of his friend Ignacij Gruntar at Logatec. The temporary rest and the sickness were - the direct result of the publiedtion of his volume of 'Poems”. Gregorčič was convinced that his sickness (Heart trouble) ivould end his life very suddenly. Therefore he began to prepare' the manuseript “that this ivork may remain after me free from mistakes as much as possible”. Accordingly he seleeted seme 50 poems from his former publication and added to the present some original verses among them the beauti- ful ode of peace “Oljki”. The publication was in the hands of book dealers by Easter time of 1882. “Poezije” appeared in an edition of 1800 copies. Naturally the Slovene people hailed the “golden book”, as Levec call- ed it. with great joy and it was almost completely sold in a half a year. Hcivever sueeessful the book of poems was as a contribution to Slovene literature, it was fateful in the development of Gregorčič, the poet. Dr .Anton Mahnič professor of theology at the seminary of Go¬ rica judged ali of the work from the viewpoint of poe¬ ti^ for children and decided that they were dangerous for innocent youth. As examples of this he pointed to “Izgubljeni cvet” (Lost bloom) and “Dekletova moli¬ tev” (Maiden’s prayer). Other poems Dr. Mahnič con- sidered as expression of poetic philosophy and there¬ fore dangerous “to faith and morals”. Gregorčič parried with attackers in a long series of poems “V obrambo” (In defense) but his fellows in religion, nevertheless, were oi : the opinion that Mahnič was correct in his attack. Even before this the poet’s own sadness caused him to leave his work for months at the time. The unkind and unsympathetic attack on the grounds of the dangerous character of his poems made the con- dition worse and took the edge of ali delight for his work as a poet. He now became totally silent. This condition ivas not caused only by the attack on his work but also the cares for his daily bread. When he did again begin to write there was a noticeable decline in the quality of his work. The poems which appeared in the,“Zvon” and the “Slovan” did not approach the work of his former brilliance. It is only occasionally that the ghost of his former self appears notably in the work for national interests thus “Naš narodni dem” (Our National Home) “Odlikovanju” etc. and some songs of ivelcome particula'rly in “Slovenija svojemu cesarju” (Slovenia to its emperor) on the occassion of the emperor’s coming to Ljubljana at the sixth centennial of the Habsburg dynasty, did Gre¬ gorčič manfully express himself in poetic beauty. In April of 1882, he received an appointment as vikar at Gradišče near Prvacni. At his going the in- habitants of Rifenberg gave a conclusive demon- stration of how much they loved him by the farewell they tendered him. He came to the new position with- out the official confirmation and he was forced to work vvithout pay. Contributions from the parishoners were rather few and far between. Even when he was officially recognized the pay for Services was not re- gular. The returns from the publication of the first volume of poetps, which amoun.ed to about 1000 gold- inars (half dollar) he gave to his aged father to se- cure the family homestead fron going into hands of people to whom he was in debt.In the fall of 1882 Si¬ mon Gregorčič bought a little piece of land and by that act assumed debts far overhis depth. The aivards from the foundation, therefore came very handy at this time. Coupled with this vas the royalty offer from the republication his “Pocns” to which he ad- det some ballads. The new editon appeared in 1885. Soon after this Gregorčič f as forced to quit his position because of poor health nd ask for retirement (actuaily he was granted it in 199). In the same year, 1887 he built a small house 01 the property he had acquired before; the expenseshe covered with the royalty which Josip Gorup pa. as the publisher of the second volume of poems. T.s collection consisted of the poems which he ivroteluring 1882-1886 and added to them those which he id not accept for the first volume of poems. The poplace accepted the se¬ cond volume someivhat ‘cooly v;h the aonsequent re¬ sult that the poet was silencedor a long time. From thence he lived as the “peasar.poet” in the quiet of his oivn little possession. As theditor of the poetical contributions at the “Slovan” i became acquainted ivith the translator of “PsalmsTvan Vesel, ivhom he aided very much and to the ciection of poems he contributed 22 verses himself. regorcic also became interested in the translation oRussian poets espe- ciaily Puškin for VesePs “Russii Anthology” and in universal literature. His patterned life as vikar ded in the spring of 1889 and he travelled from plače to plače. His trip to Dalmatia and Monte-negro restored some of his health again and he received much mental relaxation from seeing oid friends ivhich he met enroute and with whcm he stayed in Stajerish and Carniola. In 1901 Gregorčič became dangerously sick. He suspeeted that the last hour had aiready come but he recovered sufficiently to keep alive. His thoughts and h^ s en iotions ivhich became unusually acute in the last feiv yea.' ■ of his life he expressed in his “Poen 1 ^ after death” which appeared in the third volume of poems ivhich were published in 1902. Witn the last serious sickness the poet realized . that it was vitally necessary to be near medical help- Consequently in 1903 he sold his little home and moved to Gorica. There he completed the metricai translation of the “Book of Job” of the Old Testament, for v/hich Dr. Franc Sedlaj, later arehbishop, wrote the introduction. Later he ivorked on the Lamenta tions of prophet Jeremiah, ivhich ivere completed oni? a short time before his death. While Gregorčič wa5 saving mas/ in the private chapel on Now. 16, I®66. H 8 1 eceived an attack of paralysis and on the 24th of same month he died from heart failure. Thus the heart of the “goriški slavček” beafr no more. He waS buried as he ivished in the little cemetery of St. La tt renče in lubusnem.

He \vrites in to say that he is there to im- prove his battmg eye, and that he wishes ali his friends a very Happy New Year. —o— We know Mervar as a dry cleaner only. His hinting about being a bali player led us to be- lieve that he played bali at one time. —o — In looking up past records we uncovered the information which we believe led him to make the decision to go to Ar¬ kansas to improve his batting eye. His batting average for the year vvas not less than zero. Un- less you eount that hit that he got robbed off.
