OF Gratitude May
Well be Sung.
Nation Has Many Rea-
sonsFor Thanksgiving.
But There Are Lessons Which
Must Yet be Learned.

For What Have We to be Thank
ful?' was the subject of Rabbi I. e.
Phlo's sermon-lecture in the High st.
Temple, Friday evening.
His text was: Man doth not live
by bread only, but by everything that
proceedeth out of the mouth Of the
Lord" Deut. S3.
Rabbi Philo said What shall be our
Thanksgiving? Well may the type
of national thanks watt its hymns OIL
gratitude to the turquoise sky. Well
may the harp of the national heart
intone song of thanks to the Giver
of ALL Well may the heart Of the ma.
ton throb in the appreciation for the
favorable skies which have kissed the
fruits of earth and made them blush
with rapture; for the tears of the weep
Ing clouds which have ripened the gold
crowned sheafs of life; for the beneti-
cent sun wnich has smiled with grace
on fruit and flower, forest and farm,
and filed the nations heart with joy;
for the silvery moon whose tranquil
beams have placed Il nimbus of peace
about the Goddess Of Liberty; for the
peace and the plenty, for the patriot
ism and the power; for the progress
and the patience; for the health and
the happiness, for the honor and the
harmony which have been vOuchsafed
unto us; for these and for other In
Vulnerable blessings may we well
breathe prayer of thanksgiving tC
Him, from whom all blessings flow.
No one will deny that the year which
ended with this years Thanksgiving
has been one If not the most memorable
in the annals of our history. Unpre
cedented success has crowned our eff
forts. In every department of national
| activity and enterprise has there beel
healthy evidence of material rewarc
and material prowess, which hav,
challenged the envy and admiration o.
the world. Power have we predicate(
by our prowess. Purpose have W.
portrayed by our powers. Position
have we gained Ny our purpose, pow
er and prowess. The law of the SUI
vival of the tittest has signalled us on
as singular exemplar of its truth
In us its hypothesis has been supreme
ly vindicated. In the mighty struggl
for material mastery the laurel-wreat
of victory has been placed firmly o
the national brow. The nations bo,

of our sublime constitution. This Is on
ly another evidence of the influence OF
such power as our late Chief Execu-
tive welded in behalf of his people.
DO we not see that multiplication Of
such characters welded to the honest
service of the State will eventually
spiritualize the nation and purge 1t
Of its sin!. The creed Of each and ev-
cry constituent of this mighty COM
monwealth should be the recognition
of the religious power of the ballot,
cast in the sense of high moral OBJ
LEGATION and for those best fitted for
office by virtue of their integrity and
purity of purpose. Such creed care
fully carried into effect will clear the
national conscience of sin.
What shall be our Thanksgiving?
For what have we to be thankful?
Our thanksgiving may well find ex-
pitsSlOh III thc puioho "a pi"s Siioi
praise. For much, for very much, have
we to be thankful. God has been good
to the ground. Homes and novels are
filled with plenty; the pulse of indus
try throbs with health and vigor; doubt
is dispelled; confidence is confirmed;
peace is present; progress is positive
our wilful forgetfulness to perform
our individual duty toward the nation,
have brought these on. There Is de-
mand for change. The demand Is
imperative and important. A change
there must be, If not voluntarily, then
peremptorily, under the painful lashes
Of national calamity.
Consult history, Why did Rome fail P!
Rome fell when the citizens ceased to

people out of their town-and why will
we cease to be a republic, and have
ceased in our municipal life certainly
TO be republicans? Simply because

Then his mirror said "ruddy

THE PHILIPPINES.

Senator Augustus o. Bacon, of Geor-
gia has returned home from a sum-
,mer tour of the Philippine Islands, and
his Impressions of the conditions there
are In part as follows:
Il found the Filipinos distinctly su-
perior to what had expected.
believe this would be the conclusion OF |
every fair man who was brought in
contact with them. Since left Wash
ington l have been brought in touch
with many brown races, and do not
hesitate to say that L consider the
Filipinos equal to any and superior to
most In point Of character and mental
ability. They labor under the handl-
cap of tropical climate and, there.
fore, are not as vigorous physically OF
as Industrious as the Chinese or the
japanese, for instance, and this must
them; but AS l have said, | am con-
yinced that they are the equals Of any
in point of character and ability.
II have been greatly disappointed to
have had to come to the conclusion that
the people Of the Philippines are un-
friendly to the Americans. With them
| the sentiment of nationality is
undoubtedly strong. Even those
who for business reasons pro-
test loyalty are not friendly to
American sovereignty, but have in
their hearts the desire for nationality.
l do not believe there will be time
for Il generation at least when this
sentiment will change, and am con-
vnced that we will have to keep n
very large army there for an indefinite
period My conclusions have been
drawn from the testimony Of army Of
fit ers, officials of the civil government
and from interviews with the leading
natives who protest friendship for the
American government The conclus-
ion to be drawn from this testimony
the only conclusion that can be drawn
from it's that the Filipinos feel that
they are entitled to nationality; that
they desire beyond all things brown
mans government.
There are but two ways in which
/ we can govern the Islands.
These are either absolute mil
itary rule on the one hand, or such
n liberal government as will satisfy
the people on the other; there can be
no halfway business. And the gov
ernment which will satisfy the people
must plainly be government leading
openly and avowedly to ultimate inde-
pendence."

Hill and Morgan seem bent on filling
the Northwest with them too. What

schemes for plunderlng the people.

UNEMPLOYED CANADA.
Vast Tracts Utterly Unknown and the
Minerals Undeveloped.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The di.
rector OF the geological survey of Can
ada. in his last report. makes the
amazing statement that practically
nothing is known of one-third of the
Dominion. So states United States
Consul Seyfert at Stratford in a re-
port to the State department Il is
shown that more than a million and a
quarter miles of Canadian territory is
yet UNEMPLOYED. This includes the in
hospitable detached Arctic portions,
but aside from these fully $4,000
square miles are for all practical pur-
poses entirely unknown. The easterly
area contains the greatest extent of
UNEMPLOYED territory. II comprises al
most the entire interior of the Labra-
dor peninsula. The indications are. he
says. that during the next five years
at least 5000 miles of new railroad
viii be completed through the Domin-
ion, most of which win run through
the unexplored wilderness, as It is rec
ognized that railroads are necessary
TO the opening up of this vast terri
tory.
The mineral wealth of this region is
said to be undoubtedly immense. and
the dense forests of hardwood are ex-
pected to become source of large
profit.
