From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Those who take an optimistic view Of
humanity and believe that We are con
stantly moving toward better things at
least that humanity is not retrograding
viii find much justification for their op-
tinism IN the case Of a New York firm
which failed some years ago, received q
discharge in bankruptcy and recently
paid its great indebtedness IN full.
Crime. defalcations, embezzlements and
fraud Of every hue and type attract at
tention because they are exploited and
often possess elements of dramatic inter
est. The great modern newspaper gath
ers the news Of a continent, Of the world
in fact. The array of incidents which
reflect no credit upon humanity report
ed in the daily press seems to confirm
the impression OF the unreasoning mind
that the world is rapidly degenersting,
that men are more immoral than they
were IN former times.
The fact is that we hear more about
delinquencies Of all sorts than We did
when the facilities for gathering news
were meager. There is no evidence how
ever in the daily newspaper that immor
atty is Outrunning the increase Of pop
ulation. The thoughtful mind clings to
the belief that while sin sbounds grace
much more abounds. Justice, honor and
honesty rule in every civilized commun-
ity. They are the normal conditions.
They are expected TO rule as a matter Of
course in all business and social rela-
tions. Millions Of instances in which
they are in evidence never appear under
the startling headlines Of a newspaper.
They are far too ordinary 10 constitute
news" An honest man creates no sen
sation as he passes along the street, but
the thief in custody attracts a crowd.
The common belief that the vast major
ity Of men are honest is just as pro-
Dounced now as ever it was. 1t bears
silent but convincing testimony to the
fact that humanity is not growing
worse.
The whole business structure rests
and has always rested on the conviction
that men will fulfill their obligations If
they can. This is the foundation OF
credit. Confidence not suspicion is and
must be the prevailing tone OF the bust
ness world. The man who pays a debt
barred by the statute of limitations OF
after discharge in bankruptcy helps tc
increase our confidence in humanity
Such a man stands for a large class OF
debtors who would gladly discharge
their obligations if they could. The
great majority of business failures are
not tainted by dishonesty or dishonor
The proceedings of our bankruptcy
court show this.
The disclosures of the criminal courts
are revolving enough. They excise oul
curious interest more than the millions
of people who never will appear as the
defendants IN a criminal prosecution
The calendar Of crime affords no CrooI
that humanity is degeDeratiDg. In 1.-THE
good old times vaguely supposed tC
present picture of Arcadian bliss life
was not as safe as it is here and now
and 1t Is confidently believed that if Il
were possible to demonstrate it by
comparative statistics, the criminal DOB
ulatiOn was relatively greater in former
times than 1t is today.

Every once IN a while a creamery
company sinks a tubular we'll to carry
of the waste water, but in no case so
far as we have heard has such a well
given satisfaction, and IN most cases
the waste water contaminated the
water IN the we'll used for the cream
cry. and in two cases caused serious
trouble. SAYS the Dairy Record One
creamery. after running the waste
water in such a well some distance
from the creamery, was compelled to
draw water from a neighbOr for two
months. and the pump in the creamery
was kept going day and night during
that time before the water could be
used again. Their experiment should
suffice for others, but still others try
the same scheme, usually TO their sor-
TOW.

Breedinr for Better Cow.

The cows on many farms would be
considered frst-class producers If each
cows product amounted to 200 pounds
Of butter per year, yet It Is claimed by
some Of the best dairymen that 200
pounds of butter per year from COW
does not pay. Those who aim TO make
the most butter from their herds have
The standard up to 800 pounds per year,
and some fix the limit higher. Every
farmer can have the individual mem
bsrs OF his herd reach that amount by
breeding for better cows every year

Thanksgiving

- NATIONAL thanksgiving day is considered
~ by many to be new and peculiar institution
originating with the Puritans This is not correct
as to the whole scope of historic time, but IS per
haPs true in modern times
The Israelites had their feast of ingathering or
IabernaCles, each year, which lasted for week,
and corresponds to October IS to p of our reck-
ODing of time, and began and ended with Sab
bath day and ''holy convocation."
This was one of the three great annual feasts of
the Jews, when all males, of II years of age and
over, were required to appear before the Lord at
Jerusalem with an offering. They camPed out
and built booths IN commemoration of their So
jOurn in the wilderness. 1t was a national re-
jOicing and thanksgiving Those who care to look
the matter up will find the ordinance in Leviticus
1884.
The ancient Greek and Romans had their god
dess, Ceres, who presided over fruits, flowers and
harvests. They also celebrated an annual feast
day with revelry and mirth. The customs of mod
ems differ very little from the customs of the an
clients IN which we see the force of the SAYING
there IS nothing new under the sun"
Thanksgiving day, whether heather, Jewish OF
Christian, IS recognition of over ruling PrOvi-
dence and in effect says: Every good gift and
every perfect gift cometh down from above from
the Father of light IN whom IS variableness
neither shadow of turning" 1t IS also in effect a
recognition of mans dependence upon the ele-
ments as creature of terrestrial environment.
The observance of Thanksgiving day is a whole
some, elevating anniversary. 1t is simply bias
phemy to attribute prosperity to any regimen
president. ruler or king. There is a God who
CauSeth HIS sun to and to shine upon the evil
and the good and sendeth rain upon the Just and
the unjust" He IS the source of our prosperity.
Is it not rather remarkable thing that IN all
the earth just enough food is produced annually to
meet the wants of man? There may be dirth in
localities but there is always plenty elsewhere to
supply the wants of man? Is it merely accidental
and the work of chance? EmPhatically no! An
other lesson IS here learned. All mankind IS but
one family. The plenty of one section should be
disposed to meet the needs of all. Another lesson
IS also taught by this circumstance: That man
kind should be bound together in one bond of
brotherhood.
With every intelligent and thoughtful man.
there IS neither Greek nor Jew, barbarian nor
Scythian, bond nor free male or female Christ
taught the brotherhood of man" He said ..If
thine enemy hunger feed him; he thirst give him
drink"

STRIKE MAY COME TODAY
Ten Thousand Freight Handlers Are
Expected to Walk Out II De-
mands Are Not Met.

CHICAGO, June S0.-Unlees the general
managers Of the railroads reverse their
announced decision in regard to a new scale
Of wages. TO- 900 freight handlers will in all
probability quit work tomorrow in all the
railroad warehouses and freight sheds In
Chicago.
II the freight handlers strike 1t is proba-
BILE hat other unions will be drawn into
the struggle through sympathy.
oficials Of all the railroads replied today
to the demand of the freight handlers for
more wages. The answers were almost uni
form, each Of the companies submitting an
amended scale Of wages to go into effect
after three months. TIT men refused to
consider the concessions Of the railroads
and declare that unless they are granted
better terms they will quit work. From
the railroads 1t was learned tonight that all
have determined not to make any further
concessions.
