TIaditian tells us that sometime in the cons past n thirty years drcuth proved to be the undong of the Salt River valley. It was well cultivated anl plentifully populated. It had suf- fersl th5 inioads of invading enemies. yet it maintained it's thrift and wealth. But lack of water for the lifetime of an entire generation was toe severe & strain. Then, So the Story runs, came the time when the~grcen of cultivation gave way gto-tfe gray and brown of the desert--Then the great cities and pala- ~dll homes became mounds and un- slightly ruins. Pessimists predicted that 1897. with its fruitful yield, had only preceded second drouth of q long stretch of years. But we have had rain. three inches of it ill some parts of ihe valley. Following the downpour came days of cloudy wealth CT. uncomfortable while they lasted. and tending to keep eur ''cross wox'' ih a dangerous condition, but the ground has been allowed to drink deeply of moisture. Had the sun come out inn m5diately in it's glorious strength our lanl would have lost heavily. Besides the wetting of the valley. word comes of the fortunes deposited in the hills. Four feet of snow on the sides of the san Francisco mountains and a whoie winter yet to be heard from. Flag staff and surroundings covered with a coat of pure white. Rains in every valley and snow '1n all highlands means a broken drouth and q failure of pssismism. Arizona. you should c5le- brate this years Thanksgiving day With eXuatant strains of praise, with provisions for the unfortunate and, in- cid ntally. but naturally. with full churches Thanksgiving day.
 Again, we have passed through an. ether campaign, and pace is ours. Now, somewheres, such a test of party strength would have meant d riotous following. We had our say on the stump, We said si,rong things, We ges- ticulated wildly, We grew hoarse, We argued our way to the polls, We sat up all night awaiting returns, We read pa perS of contradictory reports for days after, we shouted Ov5r victory, we di- lated upon growing party strength, we swallowed defeat, and then-Well. w accepted the majority's verdict and went on with our work. We did not fight because We failed; we did not in suit the other man because he succeed ed. Living under a government of the people, We allowed the people to gov ern, and all are at peace. Free opin- ion. free speech, free ballot, acceptance of results. Let us be Thankful. Of course some were bought; certainly some orators took unfair advantages, and We are sorry for the poor, misguid- ed fellows who were defrauded and de- luded, butt we limit our emotions and pity. We resolve upon reformatory schemes and are at peace with our fel- low citizens.
 Besides these two We add q heartiHr note of pra!se and thanksgiving. We are a Christian nation. An open bible. sacred day, churches and school houses convenient and inviting, a growing sentiment in favor of morali- ty and q large increase in the number of those who ask What would Jesus dJ?" are our great causes for thanks giving as we view our Territory and na- ton on this Thanksgiving day of 1900.

Thanksgiving day leads our Thoughts back to the noble and immortal heroes cf the war of ind pendence. To noth- ing else but divine providence can we attribute the signal victories of the col Onidl forces in their struggle for inde
 pendence from a, nation that would not accord to it's COioni- s the mali nabie rights 'With which all men are en- dowed by their cr5ator:" as it is en- phatically s=t forth in the declaration of independence.

If there be one danger above another outside of the realm of actual wrong doing-that menaces us as a people, It | is that resulting from too little medi- tation. Brilliant We are, electrically so; rich We are, and miserly so. and when we St out to accomplish an end there is no lack to the jealous impetu- | osity of our rush thereto But do we as a nation take time to ponder. to mediate?
 Do We stop long enough to be thank ful?
 That is a good old maxim that bids us 'sleep on it. wh5n We have a mo mentous question to settle, since pillow quiet lets calm judgment sit down by desire and prejudice and hold council
 with them.
 There was a sweet serfousnes ss per meating all the joys of the early days of our nation that had no small share in moulding for future greatness the young thought of the hour, and Ghus preserving the original granite sound ness of the colonies.
 At Thanksgiving times. the greatest holiday of our grand-fathers' days, joy abounded; the stately colonial danes outdid each other in culinary tactics but through all the golden hours of the glad day ran an unbroken golden strand of thoughtful prayer and praise. On the eve of this later Thanksgiv- ing the secular pr ss will seek t) touch our disabilities by it's cartoons of the doomed gobbler and allied themes; pantry shelves will groan and ovens burst with their slvcry burdens: dress makers will hurry thi ir aching fingers to robe us flttingly for the gathering What kind? Furniture will be made to shine again in the old homesteads for the welcome of the children" Well will it be with us if We pause q bit ana "Sleep on it." taking with Us for our meditations some words from an old book: "Oh. give thanks unto the Lord; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the people; sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him; talk ye of His wOndrOus works; glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. Re member His marvellous works that He has donf; His wonders and the iudg- ment of His mouth: He brought forth His people with joy and His chosen with sladness. Praise ye the LOrl.'

First of all, for the fact that We are living in q Christian land and age, a
 land and age saturated with Christian ideas and principles, and therefore. and
 only ther5 fore, a land characterized by culture, progress and free goodness. This Christianity of which We speak, and Of which some of our little mon would make light. lies at the foundat ton
 of our public liberty and national greatness. It sentinels our homes and guards our dOm5 stic purity and peace; it hovers over our society. to beat back with guardian wings the foul harpies nf evil desire and unbrdled passion that would fatten on it's innocent beauty; l. stands an invisible angel even in the centers and on the outskirts of business, to smile on integrity and uprightness. and to shame fraud and double dealing away. And this it does, not as an alien religion or foreign cult, but as one that is at home in this free land, and that is in sympathy with all that is good and noble in our national and social life. | Or. to put the matter as you editors like 10 have 1t put. in a single paragraph: We ought Eo be thankful for the won drOuS chance which God is giving our country, for her unCcnsualned relig- iOus life, for her passion for education and eager search for truth; for her | broad freedom and univ, rsGl prOspari- | ty (for she is free and she is prosperous no matter what the pessimistic dream CTS of the night may say to the contra ry) for her jealous care of the poor mans rights and opportunities; for her 1 count ss quiet homes, where the fu- ture generations of her men are grow | ing up strong and stalwart' for her vas. hives of industry: for her ripping streams, vocal with whirrlng spindles for her smiling valleys, tranquil in the green, white and gold of the harvest for her grand old mountains. latent With mineral wealth, and resounding with the music of bells as her slow moving herds go forth from their folds to browse; for the general good heaNh of her people, which comes laughing upon every refreshing breeze; for hei wide gates of commerce.. open to the east and to the west; for her expand ing greatness, and her illimitab,C hOpefulness: for all of tn sa materials and machineries of wealth and man hood. for all that the life of country
 means for humanity, we ought to givt God thanks always, and especially or
 the nations annual Thanksgiving day.
