We must buy more bonds even if It is a sacrifice and we must "continue to produce the things needed. A let up now would prolong the war indefinitely.

It's Thanksgiving Day and more than Just a holiday from wurd-a-day routine, it's the lime for serious thoughts to a kind Providence who has given us wonderful crops of food, has protected and cared for '.'s. Tell Hue you appreciate it and will show your gratitude by making greater efforts Io please Him O—O Dr. Gallup Scrambles: For postelection entertainment, nothing can surpass the pleasant business of watching Dr. Gallup scramble off his pre-election limb. Never averse to self-adminlratioa. the eood doctor, who sat in Mr. Dewey’s kitchen cabinet as an expert on public opinion, now claims credit for having "indicated the winner successfully." His poll, he says, forecast the civilian vote percentage for Roosevelt "with an error of only one percent." That remains* to be seen. But even if true, what an error!* Dr. Gallup was wrong on Mfnnestta wrong on New Jersey, wrong on Illinois. New Mexico. Missouri ami New York. In his last report, the days before election, he gave Robst-i velt only 165 electoral votes for I sure, and suggested that the Prcei* dent might possibly reach 292 by taking the "pivotal” states in whi h he appeared to have a slight marton. Actually Mr. Roosevelt took not only all those, but most of Mr. Dewey's "pivotal" states aa well. Which may account for the fact < that Dr. Gallup discovered early | Wednesday morning, and so notified his clients, that "the chief, function ot polls is uot to predict elections.” but to measure sentiment on public issues. The doctor did. however, give a tolerably good imitation ot a man predicting an election prior to November 7.— Chicago Sun. O—O Streamlining Congress: Now before congress is the Maloney-Maroney resolution, already passed by the senate which calls for a bi partisan committee ot six senators and six representativiv to study the organisation and operation of congress with an eye to

simplify itig and improving the whok complex structure. Gue of the reasons for the increasing power of the executive branch of the government is the "t | obvious fact that congress has been staggering along under nine leenih century procedure for to»* many years. There are too many committees, there I- duplication of committees, there Is lack of co-operation among commi'tees and there is grave fault Ito And with the seniority system There are forty-seven standing committees in the boose, aud thirtyI three in the senate with a dozen or more special investigating committees in each house. One suggestion was made last year that the senate's committees be reduced iron* thirty-three to thirteen and '.hat each committee have fewer members. As to duplication, it is a fault frequently pointed out. General George C. Marshall has been known ' to testify for some hours before - the military affairs committee of > the bouse, aud then be called upon I to give the testimony for another » several hours to the senate's mill- • tary affairs committee. > Congress owes it not only to

itself, but to tho nation, to dear up this bumbling system. If the legislative branch is to Uk« its rightful pisce in the American scene, it must rid itself of cumbersome and time-wasting practices.— Auburn Evening Star A THANKSGIVING tContinsed ».om rags 1) ful that we have not been stood against a wall and machine (tuned, nor seized as hostages to be executed for offenses we knew not of.
