Thanksgiving Day The biggest problem confronting primitive man was his next meal. Compelled to rely on the fortunes of the chase he often went days at a time with bare bones for his fare. The most arduous labors were required even to find his game and the risk of his life was often necessary for its capture. Under such circumstances a wind fall or a lucky capture seemed nothing less than a gift from heaven and elicited the hungry human's sincerest gratitude to the gods. In this way the ancient customs of holding religious ceremonies before each meal was established and persists to this far off day in our grace before meat. Our New England forbears on their rocky coasts, with famine often imminent and danger on all sides, were in much the same position as primitive man. With them also the next meal loomed as the great problem of the day and absorbed much of their time and attention. Whole colonies hung for their very existence on the success of a crop and communities were often made, as Thoreau says, to cut their bread very thin. It was very natural therefore, under such circumstances, to feel that a bumper crop, a bountiful harvest, was providential. At such seasons the strenuous colonist sat down to his meal mush, his pumpkin pie and his wild turkey with the liveliest feeling of gratitude to divine Providence for such an outlay. This accounts for the religious origin of Thanksgiving. After the stringencies of crop failure our Pilgrim Fathers early in the seventeenth century were so thankful for full harvests they finally set aside a day in 1G21 for the sole purpose of acknowledging to the Giver of all good gifts their thanks for the blessings of heavy fields. And why shouldn't they? A traveler inquired of an old Vermont farmer, "What do you raise here on these rocky lands?" "We raise men !" was the prompt reply. And men were always plentiful. Babes came if corn didn't. Hungry mouths cried to be fed. And a big feast for the whole family was a memorable event. We no longer feel the same pressure of want. Compared with those memorable days, the most humble family of this time lives in affluence. Meals come three times a day and the starving are few and far between. Dinners are taken as a matter of course and even the poorest are able at times to have such luxuries as fresh eggs on the board. Pecause of this the religious side of Thanksgiving appears to have fallen into decay. Preachers the country over lament the fact and deplore our subsidence into materialism and the grossness of the flesh. Thanksgiving feasters are accused of thinking more of the flavor of pumpkin pies and the pungent bouquet of cranberries than of the origin of all the good things. There undoubtedly is grounds for fearing lest the spiritual side atrophy through neglect and preachers are justified in warning us of our danger, but after all is it not rather true that the religious element has not disappeared, but simply changed form? Thanksgiving day has come to be a reunion day for families and friends. Interurban cars, trains, buggies, autos and bicycles have been bringing friends, husbands, wives, children, uncles, aunts, grandparents and relatives, poor and wealthy, to sit at Richmond tables and gather about Richmond living rooms. Old times will be rehearsed, tales will be told, laughter and chattering will be the order of the day. And what is this but the communion of spirits which is a foundation doctrine with all Christian churches? We believe the Divine Spirit flows into the receptive soul through the flash of a loving eye. the clasp of a hearty hand, the good natured banter, hilarity and kindly wit which flows about family circles, and through all the ministries of feasting and fellowship. Common bread is the bread of life. Every meal eaten in sincerity is a sacrament. Through the simple elemental creatures of food and drink the mighty Tower of which each human is but a spark re-enters the being and continues for man his divine and wonderfully beautiful existence.

by the time the new city administration goes into office. For a city this size, one director, (a trained expert in municipal affairs), a local man of competence and ability, and a stenographer would be an adequate staff. Necessarily much of the work of a Bureau is of a routine character and could be executed by a wide-awake man of ability, so long as expert guidance could be given him. The stenographer could do most of the office work which would leave the two men free to carry on their researches. And by taking up the city administration one department at a time, these two could in a year or so completely reorganize the city's business in every detail. Next to the trained director the most important part of the Bureau's equipment is its machinery of investigation and analysis. It is in this that its power chiefly lies. By assembling all the apparatus necessary to learn the facts about any subject in a short time it is always in a position of superior knowledge. The cost of such an institution would be about $7,000 for the first year. This would be allowing $2,400 for the director's salary, $1,400 for his assistant and $900 for the stenographer. This leaves ,$2,300 for current expenses and for the costs of the thousand-and-one things which will be called for at every step of the procedure. It would be absolutely necessary to have such a Bureau unaffiliated with any organization, institution or individual in the city. Independence of plan and action is its breath of life. The temporary voluntary organization necessary to call it into existence would select its board of directors and then dissolve itself. Raising the finances need not be a matter of much difficulty. The number of wealthy and public minded men in Richmond should find it very easy to raise the needed sum by subscription. Once established in an adequate manner the Bureau would within a year lift the city's administration to a higher level and save the community nobody knows how many thousands of dollars.

MURDER AND ARSON TUBN MEXICO INTO BARBAROUSCOUNTRY (Continued from Page Oue)

The Pacific: The World's New Mediterranean Civilization was cradled in the valley of the Euphrates river. Except for the contracted area of that region the whole world besides was alien and a stranger. What might issue at any time from the unknown wilds about them was always the constant fear of Babylonian and Persian. But as time went on the center of the stage was shifted to the Mediterranean, which, as its very name implies, was considered "The Center of the Earth." About its shores was erected Greece, Egypt, Rome, Carthaginia and Macedonia. In its basin were built those cities set, as it were, on a hill, whose light cannot be hid. Athens, with its genius for art; Rome, with its genius for law; and Florence, with its genius for civilization, arose within hail of the shore of that great inland sea. And then came Columbus's discovery of the New World, the colonization of two cast continents, the shifting of power to England, the development of Holland, Scandinavia, Spain and western France and the opening up of the new commerce across the Atlantic. Civilization thus shifted its center to a new Mediterranean. Meanwhile the Pacific was almost an unknown ocean. Now and then hardy adventurers crossed its limitless, unbroken watery plains, more often to be blown far out into its midst by those storms of incomparable power over which seamanship seemed to have no control. China with its 400.000,000, Japan with its 50,000,000, the Malays, the Philippines and the fringes of Asia toward the east lay behind walls more impervious than stone. Until a bare half century ago these mighty peoples were as dwellers on another sphere. Three perilous and arduous trade routes alone were available to the pioneer, and human bones bleached alongside every trail making to the Orient. Today, how changed! Japan is now among the family of great Powers. The Philippines are attending school. China is emerging from her long opium like dream and those vast multitudes shake the sleep of eons from their eyelids, awjv:ened by the magic kiss of Western life. And now comes the Panama Canal, the great ditch that releases the pent-up waters of the urge of centuries. Swiftly, inevitably, irresistibly, the streams of civilization flow toward the Pacific. That vast stage swiftly becomes the scene set for the enactment of the world's next racial drama, rapidly grows into the planet's new Mediterranean.

Then Madero made what many con-sid.-r his fatal mistake. He refused to follow tht- eruel methods traditional :n Mexico w hen rebels are caught. He sent Reyes to prison for sixteen years instead of following the "law of rlihhf." which would have resulted in a shoot in? under a pretence of justification.

Madero's ally, head I'd an insurrection and even took Juarez. Moreover, Mad ro, the philosopher, the dreamer, the poet, had not been able to create an organization of upright men around him. His relatives led in the plunder of the state and the "holding up" of foreign investors. There was great pressure for intervention by the Ignited States, but President Taft was adamant. The northern revolutionists made little progress after the I'nited Sttes had placed an emhareo on arms and ammunition; but the old "i ientificos" raised a new standard of revolt under the leadership of Felix Diaz, a colonel of the army and nephew of Porfirio Diaz. Imprisons Diaz. Madero imprisoned Diaz. P.ut he refused to follow the adage "'When in Rome do as the Romans do." He let Diaz live. He sent him to Vera Cruz a prisoner. Consequently Diaz was soou forced into a farcial raid, his guards firine; a single volley into the air. The garrison declared for him. But Madero sent General Rlanquet against him and Diaz was soon a prisoner again. Again he was allowed to live, although the "laws" of Mexico allow a "traitor" to be put to death. Madero had put down two revolutions of the rientificoK. Now came the third and linal one. On February !. 1113. about half the army mutined and both Reyes and Diaz were liberted. Reyes was killed in an attack upon the National Palace. Then came the battle in the streets of Mexico. There was an artillery fight between the arsenal and the National Palace, in which thousands of civilians, including women and children, fell. Huerta His Min6tay. Madero's principal reliance was a hard-bitten old soldier, General Victoriano Huerta. This man had earned a reputation as a fighter and little else. Suddenly he turned traitor to Madero. The politicl bee had got into his bonnet. t)iaz thought he had gone over to the eient.ifiro leader, as it seemed for a time. Diaz and Huerta imprisoned Modero, his relatives,

and members of the administration, t Then D:az suddenly everything happens suddenly in Mexico discovered the leader was not himself but Huerta: He asqu.eseed with some grace. Huerta was proclaimed provisional president under an agreement thai Colonel Diaz would run for president in the cou.ing elections.

Maderlstas Slain.

More ( rude methods were taken to get rid of some Maderistas.. The president's brother, who had been minister of finance, was slain in cold blood in his cell, his nose and ears cut off. and the body was subjected to ' other indignities. This was what led President Wilson to say in his speech at Swarthniore, Pa , " government stained by blood cannot survive." The question of recognition of Huerta. now undoubtedly in control of the most important part of Mexico, as the de facto ruler, came up. President Taft was about to end his administration, and naturally did not seek to establish a policy for Mr. Wilson, having no desir to embarrass him. .lust one week after his Inauguration President Wilson issued a statement which made It clear that the United States would not recogaize government bv assssiuation. On this j

he has stood ever since. Carranza In Field. Huerta had scarcely seated himself on the throne than rebellion broke out again, with General Venustiano Carranza. who had been a close friend of Madero, in the lead. Carranza has made great progress, and in fact now controls more of Mexico than did Madero when Porfiirio Diaz abdicated. The situation since has been growing more serious until many now believe that intervention by the United States is the only means of restoring order in Mexico. Nelson O'Shaughnespy, 'Charge d' Affairs of the American Embassy at Mexico City, has been the diplomatic representative of the Wilson administration, following the retirement of Ambassador Wilson, whose actions in Mexico did not please the president.

How a Bureau May Be Secured for Richmond The four hundred business and professional men who were so interested in the recital of the achievements of the Dayton Bureau of Municipal Research as made by its Director, Dr. L. D. Up-.-son, at the Commercial Club banquet Tuesday evening, have been saying with growing unanimity, "That's just what we need in Richmond. Why can't we have one here? How shall we go about it?" It will be a very simple matter to establish a Bureau here if these men are really in earnest. By using prompt and vigorous action, such an organization might be prepared to initiate its work
