Discomfort IN THE NAVY
Largely Caused by the Lack OF q Suf-
Acient Personnel.

Baltimore Sun.
The Navy Department did a judicious
thing when 1t referred the matter OF the
discomfort Of the officers and enlisted men
in the north Atlantic squadron to Admir-
al Dewey. The admiral is not only well
qualified by long training TO deal with
questions Of discipline, but he has a kind
heart The first requisite for successfully
settling discomfort is to approach IL with a
sympathetic spirit. Men. as rule, do not
become demoralized and dissatisfied unless
there Is some cause. at least for the Begin
ming of 1t. Admiral Dewey recognized that
fact promptly and recommended greater
liberty and more recreation for the enlisted
men Admiral Higginson, who commands
the squadron, II seems, has been too rigor-

this matter, says:
1t is said at the Navy Department that

retirement are due to the fact that IL is
utterly impossible for the department TO
grant officers duty ashore after the expira-
tion or their terms at sea. We know Of a

THANKSGIVING WEEK.

Next to Christmas, Thanksgiving is the
most generally observed holiday in the
United States Years ago it was called
the Yankee Christmas because, sixty
years ago, Christmas was not generally OBJ
served in New England, the Puritans
garding it as a festival of the churches
they held in adherence. 1t is now the
day fer family gatherings, and these repre-
sent it's best features Athletic struggles
have broken into the proper observance of
the day, and in some localities efforts are
made to draw crowds by some special en-
tertainment. Kansas City, for instance,
announces a bull fight as a special feature
thanks.
The observance of Thanksgiving is based
upon the general recognition of the ex-
istence of Ruler of the Universe to whom
gratitude is due. AS people we believe
In God. While we differ widely as to His
attributes, we in some manner recognize
the Providence who governs the world
and to whom we are under obligation. 1t
would be day almost without hope If this
people should forget that a Chris
tian Nation. The virtues We practice, the
civilization which enjoy. the relations
of man to man which constitute all that is
good and sacred. come to us as divine rev.
elation. 1t is, therefore, fitting that there
should be special seasons when we may
be reminded of the message which came
to us from the Christian faith.
The American people have always had
cause for thankfulness as a most favored
people. Our history seems to be a record
of the special favors of Providence. But
at the present time this people has special
cause for thanksgiving. Our cup is run
ming over with the bounties and blessings
causes for apprehension they are of our
own making. The country at large never
had a more hopeful outlook. We have peace
and plenty, and the assurance of its con-
grateful and we should be filled with that
feeling of gratitude which inspires kindly
purposes to our kind, particularly to those
who in less favored circumstances. 1t
good will TO those about us, and out of a
greater store to see that the less fortunate
family has cause for thankfulness and
for that kindly sentiment which makes the
well-to-do and those who are not feel that
they are the children of common Father.
