Once more the circle of the year has
brought us TO the Thanksgiving season,
the period of especial thanksgiving for
the benefits and progress of the past
year. 1t is beautiful institution; and
round its observance clusters some of
the sweetest memories of the past; while
through il shines the deep religious in
stinct which lies beneath the superficial
gloss of American social and CONNER
cial life. The day has been universally
observed for manv years, even in u more
heartfelt manner than Christmas; in
deed, to certain sections Of the nation
notably New England in which district
it originated, it has been one of the
great family festivals of the year.
The earliest harvest Thanksgiving in
America was kent by the Pilgrim Father
AT Plymouth i'm 1921 and was repeated
often during that and the ensuing cent
ury. Not, however, until 1917 was II
adopted by the state of New York as a
feast day, and since 1863 the presidents
have always issued proclamations, ap-
pointing the last Thursday of November
AZ Thanksgiving Day.

The rising tide Of prosperity in this
country is sure to be quickly followed
by rising tide of immigration to this
country, under our present laws "re-
stricting" immigration. Further re-
strictions will be necessary in order to
give the labor we already have in the
United States the protection needed.
So long as two men are looking for the
same job, it isn't good thing to rush in
third man from across the water TO
compete with them and become public
charge if he doesn't beat them. Before
admitting more ship loads of foreign
labor, lei our own idle labor be provided
with work.

A Wise Decision.

The decision of the executive commit
tee of the Republican state central COM
mittee to continue the work Of distribut-
ing the right kind of political literature,
and to stand permanently on guard for
four years more TO preserve what has
been so grandly won i'll Michigan for
sound money and good government, is a
very wise decision and will be heartily
approved by the Republicans of this
state.
1t lsa notice TO the 50cent dollar
party, with its Altgeld notions Of stuffed
courts and moi rule, that the Republi-
can Iarty of Michigan proposes to fol
low up its recent decisive victory with
at least enough aggressiveness to keep
the enemy constantly on the defensive
The old story of three years Of free sill
yer agitation without opposition, is not
going 10 be repeated in this state and
should not be III any other state. 1t is
true that the sound money forces this
year knocked down in three months
what the free silver party were more
than three years in setting up, but 1t is
much better for the Republican and
sound money organizations 10 remain
on active duty all the time from now on
until the heresy of Organism is COM
pletely wiped out.
Keep up the educational campaign
1t is that which counts for sound money
and good government.

A Narrow Escape.

Monday morning as DR.. Suydam was
driving out into the country to call on Il
patient he met with an accident which
might have proven very disastrous.
While crossing VOLTS bridge one and
one-half mile southwest of town some
of the planks gave way letting the horse
through and throwing the doctor from
the cart. The horse was quite badly
injured and the damages to the cart and
harness will probably reach about
twelve dollars. The doctor escaped
with only a few slight bruises and a
pretty big scare. The authorities looked
the bridge over last spring and put in a
few new plank considering it then in
good condition, for the present. What
we should have over the river at that
place is a good iron bridge The cost
might be little high to begin with, but
it may save the township large sum of
money in some damage suit. Then, too,
a little money spent now may save some
one from a severe accident.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.
Some Rea ng that will Prove In
teresting to Young Mothers.
How to Guard against the
Disease.

Group is a terror to young mothers
and TO post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin Of Group
is common cold Children, who are
subject to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon
followed by peculiar rough cough,
which is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by one who has
heard it, The time TO act is when the
child first becomes hoarse If Chamber
lain Cough Remedy is freely given
all tendency TO croup will soon disap-
pear Even after the croupy cough has
developed it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious For

Secretary Sheerin Speaks . Good Word for
the Governors Boom.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 19.-The Commercial
Gazette today publishes an article from
Simon p. Shccrin, secretary Of the Demo
cratic national committee and leader in
Indiana politics, supporting Governor
Claude Matthews for the presidential
nomination ut the Chicago convention.
Since Indiana was admitted no Demo.
cratic president has been elected without
the HOosier electoral vote. .Sheerin says
no Democrat will deny that the Indiana
vote will be needed this year and he in
sists that Governor Matthews nomina-
tion will insure it for the Democrats.
He says the governor will be supported
by tho most sincerely unanimous delega-
tion Indi ana ever sent to national con-
vention. His record as a member Of the
legislature. as secretary Of state and as
governor are brilliantly portrayed and he
Is shown to be in harmony with his party
on the tariff and other questions. He is
presented as q practical farmer and prac-
tical statesman who would meet the de-
mands Of both his party and his country
at the present time.
