TURKEY TALR.

The last turkey that is to be eaten
next Thursday ought to have been killed
at least week ago last Thursday.
How many young people know how
the turkey came by his manner He is
not native of Turkey. He is an Amer
lean, and was never heard of until some
years after Columbus made his voyage
not to discover America, but to dis
cover passage westward to India. The
idea OF such passage continued upper
most in the minds of the adventures
who continued coming 10 this continent
for two hundred years after it was dis
covered. Every indentation In the coast
was hailed as the way probably found
at last, and every river was supposed
to lead TO the southern seas that wash
the shores of China. One navigator
sailed the length of the Gulf Of Mexico
which he supposed to be this southern
sea, and in Central America discovered
the wild bird since known "a the turkey.
He supposed that he had found the
western passage to the promised land,
and that he was in Turkey. He gave
the name of the Turkey bird to the
noble wild fowl some Of which re cap
tured and took back to Europe, so that
has been the name ever since that the

THE PARD0NINC POWER

Evening Wisconsin: Gov. La Fol-
lette's notion regarding the pardoning
power is that it is not to be exercised
unless new evidence, tending to excul-
pate, is discovered, or flaw in the pro.
ceeding upder which the prisoner was
committed is laid bare This was also,
no doubt, the notion of the trainers of
the constitution 1t is the notion of the
vast majority of the people of Wisconsin
those who obey the law, and who
think that such as violate it should, for
the good of the community, be made to
stand the penalty The governors wht
have regarded the pardoning power as
a royal prerogative. and who have exer.
cised executive clenIency on wholesale
sca'o opening the doors of the peniten-
tiary for felons with pull" though
holding them closed in many cas-, s
against prisoners more deserving but
lacking outside influence, those COVER
nors, good fellows in many respects
though they might be, contributed to-
wards the decentralization Of society. 1t
is a good thing to see the disposition Of
the present executive to follow a differ
ent and wiser and juster course. The
policy in this respect which he has so
far pursued, will If continued to the
end of his term, make a shining prece-
dent that his successors may not light
ly ignore.

rttR.s GOVERNORS.

1t is noteworthy fact that the gov
errors of the three neighboring states of
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa are
much alike in personal characteristics
and were elected under not unlike con-
ditions and circumstances. La Toilette
of Wisconsin, Van SAINT of Minnesota
and Cummings of Iowa all have loyable
qualities that endear them as leaders,
being daring and impetuous, yet cour-
teous and genial All are splendid fight
ers and consummate politicians and all
had hard and long battle for the gov
ernorship Each is idolized by certain
element of his party and as cordially
hated by another. All were elected by
great majorities, those of La Toilette
and Cummings being simply astounding
aud the lsrgest in the history of theii
respective states 100000. But
best of all there is no stair to be found
in their personal or public life. -Madi'

SCHEME FOR BETTER ROADS.

It will be { blessing to man and beast
lie what an exchange says is true, that
the postoffice department has determined
that no rural route shall be established
unless the applicants promise to put the
roads in the district in which the deliv.
cry is made in good repair, and to keep
them so at all seasons of the year; and
where routes have been established, II
a piece of bad road is found, notice will
be served that unless it is put in good
repair, the service viii be discontinued.
This policy of the government will give
a great boom to the good roads move
ment, for before rural mail delivery can
become general proper roads must b.
constructed. The whole country should
be united for every measure calculated
for the betterment of our highways.

Gov. Van SAINT of Minnesota, threat
ems TO block the recent big railway deal
combining the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railways. The Mime
sofa law is very stringent against the
consolidation of parallel and competing
lines, and the governor thinks If there
Ia not already law enough, that he will
call another session of the legislature to
make some more Sparta Herald.
What! Has Minnesota's governor
turned populist" toof In Wisconsin
any man or official who expresses re-
lief that the general public has right
to protect itself against the encroach.
ments of trusts and combines. and that
party platforms arein any manner bind.
ing on the organizations making them,
Is straightway branded as wild eyed
populist; in fact first cousin to anarchy.
This is the new doctrine of the Milwau.

republican party in Wisconsin. Great

Sentinel is its prophet.

A NArIcSAL DAY OF THAngoFFERlaes.


Thanksgiving time il here again. and
it is mete that as good citizens, living
in conformity with the laws of God and
man, we have reasonable cause for &C.
knowledging the many blessings be-
slowed on us as people The hand Of
the assassin has deprived the nation of
its chosen ruler, but on this day set
apart and to be devoted to the better
thoughts of mankind, the country deeply
deplores the awful crime and sheds a
fresh tear on the mound that contains
the cold remains Of the illustrious dead.
The murderer has been adjudged and
dealt with by his countrymen; his here
after is determined by One altogether
wise and unerring.
Today we weep with those who have
great affection of home and country and
rejoice with others who have been
spared these trials IL it were natural
we might wish that there was naught
but good cheer and sunshine to every
human being.
The CENSOR extends a greeting of
good cheer to all its readers with the
sincere wish that each and every one of
them may have something to be person
ally thankful for
