A COLLECT FOR THANKSGIVING
 DAY,
By Edwin Markham.

By Edwin Markham.
 I thank Thee, Father, for this sky. Wherein Thy little sparrows fly;
 For unseen hands that build and break The cloud-pavilions for my sake This fieeting beauty. high and wild, Toward which wonder, as a child. And thanks for mornings star and light And for the folding hush of night; f For those high deities that spread The star-filled chasm overhead; For elfin chemistries that yield The green fires of the April field; For all the foam and surge of bloom; For leaves gone glorious to their doom-- All the wild loveliness that can Touch the immortal in a man. Father of Life, I thank Thee. too. For old acquaintance, near and true For friends who come into my day And took the loneliness away. For faith that held on to tho last. For all sweet men --'as of the past <. Dear memories of d thnt send 4- Long thoughts of ] of life's end That make me k light conceaIs A deeper world reveals. sa

FRENCH VIEW OF THE INCIDENT

The South lifts itself anew to maii tain the worid-slavery! of the a,ucls face! IL must be hoped despi,e the burst ot rage which we behot1. t.,at i, will fat, and that the name of l,ooke- T. Washireto ton will not be attacn.d in history to anoth- CT conflict between southerners and northerners. As for President Roosevelt one cannot ovetpra'se the Independent spirit he has shown bf., ing with an antiquated prejudic4; but at the same time one must :cci scms apprehension for his popularity, especially if he has set himself to fly in the face of all the prejudices of hts time and his country.

Home and Eorainn Markets.

The National Industrial Commission has ascertained that many American manufacturers have one price, high one, for home consumers, and another price, low one, for foreign eonsum- CTS. These manufacturers are bene- ficiaries of our Chinese-wall tariff, and their home prices are as rule put up to the tariff limit. President Schwab of the steel trust refused to answer the queries of the commission, but it is well known that he is selling steel billets at $16.50 for export to Eng land, while he charges home consum- CTS s26 to s27 ton.
 These tariff beneficiaries furnish ten reasons for the low prices they offer !. foreign buyers, as follows:
 To meet foreign competition.
 To work off surplus product
 To secure foreign trade and then estab- fish permanent market.
 Because the foreigner is required to pay cash, while the domestic buyer demands and secures long time and credit.
 To offset foreign duties
 To offset freight and transportation charges which the foreigner must pay
 To drawbacks or rebates Tn duties on imported raw material.
 To difference in cost of selling-that is, the elimination of commission to agents. To reduce the percentage of fixei charges per single article.
 Because of the fluetuation of the home market, while the foreign market is uniformly more stable.
 Some of these reasons have some sense and truth in them--a small per centage-but they relate almost wholly to sales for export They do not explain $27 steel in this country, or other high prices that home con sumers are compelled to pay because the tariff gives certain manufacturers a monopoly of the home market The trusts afiiict Us simply because they are the logical outcome of the Dingley tariff. There are trusts in other coun- tries, but they have no control over prices, simply because other countries .do not have Chinese-wall tariff.
 ''The basis" says the Boston Her aid, upon which the American sys- tenn of protection was urged year after year was that, by means of it, indus- tries would be built up in this coun- try which in time would become so well established that We should be able to manufacture goods and sell them to home purchasers at as favor able prices as those asked abroad for similar commodities. In quite a num- Der of our industries the time has come when this hope should be real ized, but to quite an extent it has been defeated by great combinations among home producers for the purpose of keeping up prices by preventing do- mestic competition, while the foreign consumers are supplied with American made goods at prices far below those exacted from American consumers. If thls is not a justification for ending the contributory partnership between the American people and the protected industries, then it would be hard to Imagine any cause sufficient to justify such a rupture"

unsatisfactory. About eight months
ago King approached him and substan-
TALLY said if Hobson made an arrange
ment with him he would not be hard
on him, The amount named by King
was $4,000, and as failure on the con-
tracts meant ruin I1obson agreed to
pay $9,000 King said he would accept
that amount as he had caused him loss
by being hard on him. Hobson paid
King $500 on October and the same
amount in November, and 1000 to-day.
Captain King was bound over in the
sum Of $4,000. but up to o'clock had
not made his bond.

plosion was next heard and in mo-
ment the entire hospital section was in

BELGIUM AND FR.4NCE.
The Talk of the Latter Annexing the
Former.

| Paris, Jan. IA dispatch received
| here from Brussels says the military
commission which is studying the reor-
ganization of the defense of Belgium
has been informed In support of the
government project that General Eur
linden (the former French minister of
war council, that France annex Bel
gium, and that the Belgian minister at
Paris notify his government Of this
fact.
The dispatch adds that Great Britain
at that time was Indifferent, while Ger
many was inclined to acquiesce regard
ing the suggested annexation as
Frances compensat ton for the loss of
Alsace-Lorraine. The statement has
caused sensation in Belgium and has
attracted the attention in France.
Baron D'Anethan, the Belgian min
lister here, in an interview denies that
General Zurlinden. He admits he sent
his government cuttings from newspa-
pers containing similar assertions, but
he refrained from comment on them.
The minister adds that throughout his
career he remembers no incident tend
ing to affect the neutrality of Belgium
except at the time of the French empire
and its schemes regarding the left bank
of the Rhine.
Brussels, jan S.-The denials of the
reported designs of France upon Belgi-
um have been received with joy by the
adversaries Of military service, but with
incredulity by the public and by a sec
ton of the liberal press. The Independ-
ance Beige and other papers reiterate
the original statement with the excep-
tion of minor details. The Petit Bleu
says M. de Lantshiere, former president
of the chamber Of deputies, was the
source Of it's information.

NECESSITY OF A Big ARMY
MR. LODGE SOUNDS A WHINING
NOTE IN THE SENATE.
Economic Supremacy of the World
Causing Jealousy in EurOpe-Nation
Should be Thoroughly Prepared In the
Hour of Peril.
Hour of Peril.

| Washington. Jan. T. A notable
day by Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts
| Addressing the senate on the amend
ment of the military committee striking
out the provision in the army reorganl-
zation bill for veterinary corps he dis
cussed briefly and principally in the
form of a colloquy with Senator Bacon
of Georgia the Philippine question and
the necessity for an army of 100000.
Mr.. Lodge in the course of his address
declared:
II am no alarmist. and and I have
no fears that we are in danger of war
with anybody, but no man can tell
what may happen at any time. We are
marching along toward the economic
supremacy of the world, in my juGg-
ment." Mr.. Lodge said that this coun-
try is beating Europe in iron and steel
and is going to surpass her in all other
articles. 1T is only question of time, ,"
he said, when her last stronghold, the
carrying trade will be taken from her.
We will build ships cheaper and equal
her subsidies. other people do not
like our Industrial achievements. They
are struggling to get an opening for
overcroWded population and overpro-
duction. But the division of China has
been stopped and it was owing to the
United States that the empire is to be
held together and it's markets opened to
all the world. l believe that with our
resources. the victory can only be with
us, and there can be but one end to the
conflict oe economic forces. 1t is a
great position, but dazzled by it's splen-
dors. do not forget it's per.ls.
L wish to see our army, whether it is
10000 or 10000 or 100000 strong, organiz-
ed with the utmost skill and the utmost
science, so that If the hour of peril ever
does come we shall have a system
which can expand on the instant, one
which will not Immediately produce dis
aster and trouble, stumbling and hesi-
tation, as it did at the beginning of the
Spanish war. Make your army large or
small, az circumstances demand, but
make your organization of that army
the best. the most flexible, the most
elastic in the world"

ary corps amendment Mr.. Gallingar, Of

lishment of such a corps and reading
