THANKS GIVING.

Before another issue Of this paper
a day has been set upon which we are
TO give thanks. 1t originated with our
Pilgrim fathers, who then thought
they had much to be thankful for.
They had landed in comparative
wilderness at the approach OF winter.
Years of hardship and struggle fol-
lowed and yet the day was set apart
every year for the same purpose. To-
day we look around us and see the
contrast, and it brings us realization
of the fact that here is much to give
thanks fOr.-Jackson Republic.
As compared with the comforts our
forefathers enjoyed, we have much to
he thankful for on this Thanksgiving.
People generally would think they
were in hard lines indeed if they were
deprived of the many comforts and
conveniences of today which are re-
garded as necessities, and narrowed
simply to the best that the early
New Englanders had. Nor is there
need in such a wide contrast. Turn
back simply half century or even a
quarter and the world of today would
hardly know how TO get along without
as necessities what were then deemed
as luxuries. In taking that view OF
it, the Republic is right that there is
much to give thanks for tomorrow.
But aside from this the people OF
this country have much to be thank
full for tomorrow. The great change
from the conditions that existed d
year ago is a cause for great rejoicing
and thankfulness. Thousands of mer
who were then out of employment
ale now steadily employed. Mills
and factories everywhere are running
on full time and large orders ahead
and business of every nature is assum
Ing the old time proportions. Coco
cheer and good feeling can again pre-
vail, where gloom and fear for the
future so long held sway.
The northwest cannot cOmplair
over the outcc me of the season. While
the crops in many ways have not beer
as bountiful as in some years thai
nave passed, yet on the whole they
have been very good aud fair prices
much better then for several year
b"ck, are being realized for them
Our mercbats are enjoying a goot
trade and all will gather around TIT
festal board tomorrow with a feeling
of tbankfulness that has not prevailed
for several years.

Hold


Assistant Acknowledgement Smelling sigr
Many Made by sehnol Boards Won't
Hold.
ToPFKA, Kan, JAY 3.-Assistant
Acknowledgement Smelling rendered an
opinion Of great importance to the
patrons Of public schools IN Kansas,
and one which, If carried ct, win
cause endless litigation FOR che
book uust. The opinion was
written in response to- a request
from County Attorney Frank Ham
iiton, Of johnson county, and in effect
IL declares that all contracts held by
the trust with school officers Of cities
Of the first and seeond-elEss and all
counties where county uniformity was
not adopted as prescribed ~ law, are
invalid and cannot be enforced.
He holds that the only thing a board
Of education or country school board
could do under the old law was to
adopt books for the time for which
the members were elected 70 serve aa
school officers, and that set Of officers
could not make a contract Of that
kind that would be binding on its
successors. The assistant attorney
general said there were two ways to
proceed to break such contracts, One
was for the board of education to re-
fuse to abide by the provisions Of tins
contract Then the trust would be
forced to bring suit to enforce the con.
tract, The other way was in case the
board Of education refuses to act, for
patron of the school to enjoin the
board from complying with the con-
tract.

Fourteen hundred and seventy-seven

and manned by 1856 seamen, would
stand for the protection Of the canal
