The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
give me figures for wiring my house, and
want ii done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what You want.

Look at drunkard! What is
he? Look at him! Gibbering in
the idiocy of drunkenness, the dull
waters Of disease standing stag
nant in his eyes; sensuality seated
upon his cracked, swollen lips.
What is he? His intellectual be-
comes devil, his animal becomes
beast. What is he? See him swept
out with the pitiful leavings of the
dram-shop, the horrible stencil of
the last nights debauch clinging
to him. What is he? Society has
shaken him out of her superabun-
dant lap as thing unworthy Of
love or pity. Yet he is man
not thing; man-not an ami
NAL; being having mans heart,
a mans brain, mans sensibility
that can stand up and say: Il
am greater than all Gods material
universe; that is but the nursery
of my infant soul, sublime as it is.
Which is the greater, the child or
the nursery? [ am greater than
Gods material universe. [ can say
to the sun, II am greater than
thou art, thou glorious orb, for l
shall be when thou art not. When
thou hast persisted; when ten thou
sand storms have passed over the
mountain tops; when the universe
shall be moved as a cottage, and
all material things shall pass away
in the final crash of doom--I shall
still live; for within me is the fire
of God, a spark Of Immortality,
which cannot be put out. Now
look at him-poor, miserable, be-
sotted, creeping wretch, in his
deep, dark, damning abasement,
and will you not curse the inhu-
ence that makes him what he is?-

A prince who loves and fears
religion is lion who stoops to the
hand that strokes or to the voice
that appeases him. He who fears
and hates religion is like the saw
age beast that growls and bites
the chain which prevents his fly
ing on the passer by. He who has
no religion at all is that terrible
animal who perceives his liberty
only when he tears to pieces and
when he devours. -Montesquieu.

The Need of Thought.

The great majority of the Amer
lean people mean to be honest
They think they are, probably
but the crying need Of the time is
for more thought on the part of
the people.
People who do their own think
ing cannot be led by others, nor
can they be fooled by others into
doing anything without a good
reason for it. People who do not
think or who think but little, are
in danger of both calamities.
To read is we'll, if one reads
Alright; but one should not read to
believe or deny, but to weigh and
consider
Accept nothing as true because
someone says so, nor because it
has been printed. The types may
be made to pervert the truth as
easily as to state facts.
The American people today are
too prone to accept bald state
ments for facts, and arrant non
sense for truth, if it is repeated
often enough.
Too many people have come to
look to the metropolitan press for
their ideas and so fill their heads
with second-hand thoughts and
statements, whose origin they
neither know or inquire about.
"A public man may make a
speech that does not meet the ap-
proval of the associated press. I'M
mediately the dailies of the nation
are filled with abuse of the man;
his personal habits and even his
personal appearance are derided,
and also his misfortunes are held
up to ridicule and scorn He is
cartooned and lampooned from one
end of the nation to the other, and
the great mass Of unthinking peo-
ple( not unlearned people) join in
the laughter and derision, without
stopping to think that probably
not one in hundred has seen the
mans speech-without stopping
to consider that the very papers
whose ridicule they are repeating
did not print the mans speech.
nor give them an opportunity to
read it and consider for themselves
whether it was worthy Of credence
or abuse. They do not stop to
think that unanswerable argu-
ments are nearly always assailed
with ridicule and abuse; that the
silversmiths of Ephesus, when
they saw their calling in danger,
did not attempt to answer the ar
guments of those whose teaching
endangered it, but simply threw
dust in the air and cried, "Great
Is Diana Of the Ephesians.''
So it is today. When some pet
wrong is in danger, it's supporters
send out emissaries to throw dust
in the air and divert the people
with their meaningless shoutings,
and the great mass of unthinking
people, who are engrossed with
business and personal affairs, fall
in with these self-appointed lead
ers and repeat their cries, without
stopping to consider for them
selves whether the cries be true
or false.
If a man rises up to denounce

some gigantic evil, he is denounced
as an anarchist or crank; words
are put into his mouth that he
never spake, and he is misrepre-
sented and derided, and the I'M
thinking, whose rights he was at
tempting to maintain, join in the
laughter as he is forced into OBJ
security, by the unthinking, un-
reasoning repetition of SANDER and
falsehood. This is not exagger-
ating the facts, as any man may
know who will take the trouble to
investigate for himself.
Oh, for men who will think, who
will reason and be honest with
themselves, their fellow men and
their God.-Northfeld Independ-
ent.

he should do, and profit by it as

power to redeem his reputation.

About THANKSGIVING,

Now that Halloween is over the next
think TO look forward To in the way of
fete day is Thanksgiving. In few
days the President will issue his an
nual proclamation. There is little
form to be observed about this
1t is composed by the President him
self. which. you know. Is rot true of all
state papers. and In most instances
written out in his own hand When
this is done. The document goes to the
state department. where ii il carefully
copied in ornamental writing that is
almost like engraving. on the official
blue paper of that department.. The
next thing needed Oh the document is
the great seal Of the government. This
seal is kept by the clerk of par,ions and
commissions. and it is very carefully
guarded under lock and key. Its keep
er will not get ii out without special
warrant signed by the President. and
an impression of the seal Is quite GER
emony in itself. When the proclama-
ton has been thus duly signed and
sealed, many copies are made of it by
CLERKS, and one is ~ent to the governor
of every state in the Union. 1t is also
given out then to the press agents. who
telegraph ii all over the United States,
and in this way the day is announced.
The governors. as they receive it. is
sue one themselves for their state.
The first proclamation. issued by
President Washington in 1889, was
dated early in October. News could
not be telegraphed everywhere in an
hour then. and the word from the ex-
ecutive mansion had to travel slowly,
so it was got out in plenty of time.
Washington's example in the way of
issuing a proclamation was not fol-
lowed by all his successors. The prac-
tice stopped with him. and was not
revived until Lincoln became Presi-
dent. Since then. however. every sue
ceeding President has issued a procla-
nation, and you may expect to see one
from President Cleveland in a very few
days.
And here is that funny composition
which boy wrote about Thanksgiv-
ing. which is worth repeating, now
that the day is near at hand:
Thanksgiving was brought over
from England by the Puritan fathers
in the year 1920. It has staid here ever
since. On Thanksgiving everybody
goes to church in the morning. so as to
have everything out of the way before
dinner. Then you come home and
hang around little while and get aw-
full hungry smelling the turkey. At
ter dinner Thanksgiving is over"

The Cony high school foot ball eleven
will not play. this afternoon, all efforts
by Manager Rollins to arrange a game
being fruitless. kilograms were sent

The pig-skin pushers of Portland
and Bangor high schools will line up
against each other at the MaplewoOd

and Capt. Brooks of Colby, as referee
and umpire for the game. These COL

plains the defeat by Thornton by poor
