Tomorrow is the annual day of Thanksgiving the day when you are supposed to give thanks unto , the Most High for life and what It has brought you. In his annual Thanks giving proclamation President Wilson says: . :," "The season is at hand In which it has been our long respected custom as a people to turn In praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for his manifold mercies and blessings to us aa a nation. Tho year that has Just passed has been marked In a peculiar degree by manifestation of His gracioua and beneficent providence. We have not only had peace throughout our own' borders and with the nations of the world, but that peace has been brightened by the constantly multiplying evidences of genuine friendship, or mutual sympathy and understanding, and of the happy operation, of many elevating Influences both of ideal and of practice." It Is quite customary for preachers to give Thanksgiving sermons and for editors to write Thanksgiving editorials. It is not with delight that either approaches the task. This sad old world of ours is getting fearfully blaze and cynical. A score of years ago people approached the holiday with far more sincerity and sanctity than they do now. The world seems to get far from the spirit of Thanksgiving in these days. It lifts an eyelid with pitiful nonchalance and declares that it hasn't much to be thankful for. The poor compare their lot with the rich The rich man wants more The strife for the mighty dollar; the mad onslaught to step on somebody else's heels and to keep from having our heel3 stepped on does not make for a consideration of the enjoyable bless ings of life. And yet there are so many forces fighting for the betterment of the world; so many brave men and worn en who are trying to help humanity that the people of this country should pause at least one day in the year to contemplate how much worse their lot in life might be. Sometime tomorrow, take a few minutes for inner communion with your own inner self. Look at your self seriously! Strip off the mask that you wear to face the world and see if you nave not really a whole lot to be thankful for. Ponder deep ly, consider quietly the reasons. Wt predict they will outbalance the oth ers. If you want to find thankfulness seek it in your consideration for oth ers in health, friendship, virtue and reverence to the God of our Fathers for His grace and mercy. IT is said that John Lind has pack ed his trunk. But It is not reported that he said anything, even though he may have let the lid fall on his thumb

AN egg would make a nice Christ mas present in case you feel like spending little more than usual. LAST CALL, ANTI - SLA VERT FOR UNCLE bill has been passed TOM'S CABIN, by the Philippine commission. "Who is the Abe Lincoln? HON. Albert Jeremiah Beveridge says that the moosers and republicans can't unite. Unusual spring-like weather has probably caused the hero of the vine-clad cottage to think, progressiva things are mure verdant than they really are. AT the top of every nation sits a ruling class which controls the people who make up ninety-nine per cent of the land. Richmond Palladium. Can this be the invisible government that the Hon. Albert Jeremiah of for gotten fame used to rave about? L. E. PINKHAM has been nominated for governor C'f Hawaii. Can this be our old friend Lydia? GOVERNOR TENER of Pennsylvania, to become president of the National baseball, league. There are a half hundred governors and the average man can nami only four or nve oi them but any school boy knows tho names of tho two big league presidents. WITH the present high cost of tur key it is not necessary for the health department to issue its annual warning about eating too much on Thanks giving day. Op for THE EMr-iDAX SINCE SHE WENT HOME.

Sardette. JUSTICE? They have Just sent a Jasper Coun ty lad to tne Jenersonvine state prison for 8 years for stealing a chicken. This is the same county where a rich man recently ravished a young girl and they sent him to jail for a couple of months. Probably this is the reason why so many people are moving out of Jasper county. AFTER he lets go in Mexico there will remain for Huerta the delightful and congenial pastime of sailing upside down in an aeroplane. "PENNSYLVANIA makes more artificial ice than any other state." Referring to the coolness between some of its prominent statesmen? , THE TARIFF. When the democrats passed their tariff they promised that the high cost of living would flounder like a toy balloon with a puncture in it. Those that won't believe this should be more reasonable and see what the cost of turkey, eggs, roast beef and a few other commodities are. WHAT has become of Castro? Why doesn't he go to Mexico and start something while the starting is good? WHERE is that wholesale Importa tion of fresh Canadian beef that was going to come with the new tariff law? THE OLD MAN AGAIN. "With the coming of the first frost, when a wind of Icy freshness blows across the fields, comes also the true realization of what 'home means," says the Paris (Mo.) Appeal. "Father pulls out an old blackened cob, and and having filled and lit it, props his feet up on the hob. From now till ber'timo, save for sundry interrup-

MONEY stringency in Berlin. Now we know why the kaiser cut out drinking beer. TAXI fares have been lowered in New York. Told you that the new tariff would reduce the cost of living. "LAFATETTE'S ability to recover from a political campaign." Lafayette Journal. Can't see It. Lafayette is the only town In northern Indiana where they couldn't accept the election so they Bled a contest FARMER happens to accumulate a few eggs had better watch out. He will be liable to tho Income tax law. FOURTEEN killed and 175 injured by football this season. And yet they say that the Mexican bull lights are cruel and barbarous. KINO of Bavaria has had his yearly pay Increased to $1,350,000. Thus ho will not have to go out on the yodellng and Chautauqua stage to keep the wolf away from the door. J tlons, he is buried to his eyebrows in 'the weekly paper, and neither Nero's growllngs at the rumble of a distant wagon nor the continued mutterings of the kettle which steams and sput ters on the stove can disturb his meditations." Everybody works but father, of course. "A GIRL In a Milwaukee school of music strikes a perfect high G." Still .almost any girl can do that when a mouse is in sight. COUET ON PARDONS. That it is easier to get a criminal out of prison than it is to put one behind the bars is as true, evidently, in Michigan as it is here in Indiana. Ralph E. Jossman, defaulting cashier of the E. Jossman State Bank of Clarkston, having confessed to abstracting $100,000 of ' the institu tion's funds, was sentenced to serve from seven to twenty years in State prison. The court in passing sentence told Jossman not to worry, "as no Michigan prison can hold a convicted banker long." His Honor then denounced the number of pardons granted to offenders of that class. Only a few days ago Professor Taft was regretting a pardon he had extended to a banker while President. But the Michigan Judge's position is somewhat different. He will be undone by a pardon board. How long this farce is to be permitted is not known. ONE good thing about the Mexican situation is that it is never the same for much more than one day at a time. WHAT FRANCIS BELIEVES. "I believe that the husband i3 most frequently to blame when marriage turns out badly," says Francis Bowes Sayre. Says it? Francis Bowes Sayre will make oath on it. Mr. Sayre has a long head. He was married yesterday. Of course we don't care what Francis Bowes Sayre thinks any more than we care for what Nicholas Longworth thought but it is a cinch after he has been married for several years, he'll alter his opinions considerably. OFFSPRING AND OFFICE. Speaking of fitness for office and some one is always doing it it has been recalled that time was when infants were a passport to public position. No babies crawling aiound the floor, no political preferment. This was in ancient Rome under r TThio

the Emperor Augustus. By the Lex Papia Poppaea, passed in A. D.9, definite preference as regards office waa given to the fathers of satisfactorily large families. ....... The privilege was called the "jus triura liberorum" (three children privilege), but the qualifying number, thre,e,3n Rome, was four in Italy, five in the provinces. Don't know how this system would work today. ,Por Instance, while tending to materially benefit some of the old-timers it would be au awful blow to enforce it- on some of the modern politicians. "I want my rights," declares Doc Cook. What? Hasn't he been ad mitted to' the Ananias club yet? A PHONE OBSERVATION. a An observing paragrapher takes notice that since the telephone came Into general use fewer women are seen standing around with aprons over their heads, engaged li animat ed discussion. I :'s a great change the telephone has brought about in the customs of the people. As one looks at the "phone In the house he wonders how people ever gi a Ion 3 without it till he tries to call a doc tor in a hurry; then he knows that when they didn't have the telephone they went or sent. Youngstown In dicator. ,. SULZER needs no word from Mur phy that he is "the same old Charlie." ' THE GARY PLANT. Judge Gary was called upor once more to deny the often repeated rumor in Wall street that the Gary plant is to shut down. Because it is the cheapest plant to operate in the corporation the steel business will have to be at a mighty low ebb when the Gary plant shuts down. It is true that there is a curtailment in the steel industry but the closing rumor is unfounded. VOICE OF P BO PLE SALOONKEEPER VS. BUTCHER. East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 26, 1913. Editor Times: Why should the saloonkeeper be allowed to run a wholesale poultry business on a game of chance ten cents a paddle, thirty paddles before we turn the wheel each turkey therefore bringing fS.00, without respect to size $3.00 for a live turkey let's have a drink, boys, and then the old woman at home goes short on payday. Result, the butcher's bill is paid short. The man that did not win comes to the butcher at the eleventh hour and gets his turkey. The butcher does not get half the profit the saloon man has, but has got to carry the family for fifteen or thirty days. No sane man would object to a little game with a few birds put up on the night before Thanksgiving or Xmas eve, but this wholesale business as at present conducted In East Chicago, is out of reason and should be stopped. This crime will cause many a Joor woman to forget to give thanks to the Almighty and the turkey If won, will cost her a heartache. This is not the plaint of a prohibitionist, but of a man who likes a drink and takes It neat, thank you, with a drop of some for a wash down, but a man who loves justice and honor above all else.
