There is no more justification for 6
solid Democratic South now than
there was for solid Confederate South
from 1851 to 1855. To yindicate the
one involves excuse of the other. II
is q common trick of Democratic log
ic to claim that the Democratic party
is national, and the Republican, par
~ sectional. And We suspend serious
argument TO jocosely say that it is
by parity Of logic we presume that 90
many members of that party justify
themselves for so generally giving
themselves over to the service of the
devil. They see sin universal and right
eous living limited and so In their
doctrine of devotion to majOrities they
find their own unmixed cussedness
sustained by Democratic principles.
That when some Southern people
committed themselves to slavery and
secession they found allies in every
state OF the Union where they found
Democrats. does not prove anything
tn the the discredit Of RapuhIicsnism.
IT merely proved that the Democratic
marty was everywhers eaten out and

Twas Monday morning. rose

paired to the depot, and after waiting
sometime succeeded in getting start
ed. had just got deeply interested
in reading the Progress when we
came to a sudden stop! Had I arrived
there already? No. Twas the "wa-
ter-tank." Presently we started again
and settled myself to read. In scarce
ly half hour more l arrived at Peru.
l sprang from the train meeting the
"Major's family"-Col. Tom and wife
were taking the train for the East
also Mr.. M. J. Fem, the genial editor
of the Herald. (he was taking the
train); we gresped hands and shook,
and talked few seconds, when the
train started and we parted. But a
few steps took me to the long street
leading up town. first stopped at
the postoffice. There / met Johnny
Msjors-all BrownviIle knows John
ny-he is the deputy postmaster. And
after registering at the hotel. wended
my way to the Herald office. There
I found some of the boys ''settin' 'em
up" while others were "warking 'em
off" on a new tangled press" very
much unlike the one have been used
to working in the ADVERTISER office
lit doesn't work so fast. AS l was
on.my way to the Herald, met Da-
vid Campbell who formerly was cit
izen of Brownville.
After dinner took a ramble throu
the city. Peru. like Brownville and
most Missouri river towns is situated
among the hills, and has population
of about six hundred. AS you enter
the town from the south. the first
building that greets the eye Is the
State Normal School. It is situated
on a beautiful plateau on the south
side Of town and can be seen for miles
around. My attention was next at
tracted by the new Baptist Church,
which is now being finished. It is
situated at the corner Of one of the
principal streets. We would like TO
say the same of Peru as of Brownville:
that it's streets are crowded with teams
and it's stores thronging with busi-
ness. but on the whole it is very
quiet. The grain buyers are filling
up their cribs with corn at fifteen
cents per bushel. LEE.

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day was instituted by
the Pilgrims at Plymouth as a day Of
fasting, Thanksgiving. and prayer. In
memory of the bountiful crops gath
cred at their hrst harvest, in 1921.
Occasional days of thanksgiving were
held from then until 1850. when Il be-
came an annual custom in Massaehu-
setts, and they were frequent in other
colonies, often at different seasons
and for various purposes, as for the
safe arrival of ships after dangerous
voyages, or for victories over the In
dians. Thanksgiving Day was a pa-
tional institution throughout the rev.
olutionary war but there was no ma
tional appointment after the general
thanksgiving for peace in l7S4, until
President Washington recommended
one in 1889, for the adoption of the
Constitution. There were other offic-
ial appointments for national thanks
giving, In 1895 for the suppression of
an insurrection, and in 1915 for the
successful termination of the secor d
war with Great Britain. 1t early be-
came one of the most prominent holi-
days throughout New England: in
other sections it was frequently OBJ
served locally, and by some religious
bodies. The Governor of New York
has annually recommended a day of
thanksgiving since 1917. Proclama-
tions for the observance of the day
were made by the Governor of Vir-
ginia in 1855, and in eight Southern
States in 1858. President Lincoln is
sued proclamatiOns recommending
days of special Thanksgiving for vic
tories in 1928 and in 1883 4 for the
annual observance of the day nv the
nation; since which time the Presi-
dent has issued such a proclamation
annually, supplemented by one from
the Governors of many of the states.
Year by year the day is becoming a
truly national festival. avd especially
where New England blood and senti-
menthave made Themselves manifest.
1t IL a day, too. which should hecome
national in every sPnse. az no other
nation. as nation, has greater reason
to he thankful to the Giver Of all
good. for liberty and progress, than
ours.-An'ericnn Aqrinmiturist.

wholly due to human Intercourse. In
some Instances poison was carried in

infected districts. In others it was
conveyed in such fomites as cotton
bagging. or other goods Of the same
description.
4. The weight of testimony Is very
pronounced against the further use of
disinfectaRts. Physicians in infected
towns. almost without exception, state
that they are useless agents to arrest
the spread of yellow fever. while some
OF them affirm that their Fspors are
seriously prejudlcIal To the sick.

of drugs or other therapeutic means,
