ON MISSION OF PEACE.
British Friends of Arbitration Take
Trip to Paris.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Upwards of a
hundred members of the house of COM
mons and some eighty of their wives
and daughters started for Paris today
to return the recent visit of French
senators and deputies representing the
International arbitration group to
London. The party will remain in
Paris until Dec. 10. All sorts of fes-
tivities have been arranged in their
honor.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-The British COM
moners and their ladies were heartily
welcomed when they landed at Calais,
from which place they sent a cordial
telegram to President Loubet express
ing their pleasure at being on French
soil. On arrival at the Northern sta
ton here the party was greeted with
the greatest enthusiasm by the peo-
pie. The party was formally well
coined by a delegation composed Of
numerous members of the senate and
chamber of deputies. headed by Baron
Estournelles de Constant, president
of the arbitration group in the cham
Der, who delivered an address. An
elaborate programme has been ar
ranged for tomorrow.

should be regarded as it's share OF the
necessary expenses or anything like
it, We do not know why the street
railway company has not been obliged
long ago to pay not one, but many
thousands of dollars into the public
treasury for the work that its fran
chise obliges it to do.
It is better late than never. The
street railway company is undoubtedly
convinced that it will be obliged to
come to time 1t knows that the sub
ject will not be allowed to drop. 1t
understands that the people of st.
Paul are Disguised and Inconvenience
by the present condition of their
streets. It probably argues correctly
that a further postponement Of it's
duty and a further resistance to the
lust demand of the public will only
make the penalty severer later on. AS
a matter of fact, if it could escape
from the liability that it has already
incurred by handing over $1,000, it
would drive an excellent bargain.
What We want to see is the terms
Of this franchise fairly and honestly
enforced. We do not want the street
railway company mulcted Of one dol
lar that is not righteously due from it.
We do not want a single burden or
obligation laid upon it which it is
not legally compelled to assume. On
the other hand, we do not wish 1t to be
permitted to escape compliance with
conditions accepted by itself as par
tial consideration for enormously Valu-
able privileges and rights conferred
upon it by the city. The attitude Of
absolute fairness but Of strict en-
forcement of the letter of our laws. Is
that which best BELTS the city; and,
although the street railway company
is not exactly familiar with it, it will
be benefited thereby. Realizing the
advantage already acquired for the
people through the exertions of
G. oil e, we call for a continued strict,
but fair and impartial enforcement Of
the terms of the street railway COM
pany's franchise. The people are tired
Of paying it's bills.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25.-The
senate today completed the appoint

eighth congress, adopted the motion
providing for the reconsideration of the
vote by which the Newlands joint res
olution for the annexation of Cuba was

1t is a contamination to be wished
by every loyal Minnesotan. The boys
with the Drawn and the hair have
comported themselves as sportsmen.
They have fairly fought and as fairly
won some battles that will be remem-
bered. They were not regarded as
possible champions when the season
opened. There were doubling Thorn
asses who let their money go with
what they called their judgment on
that great day when Minnesota made
it a tie with the hitherto invincible
Michiganders. Never was an uphill
fight so nobly carried on as was that
in which Minnesota's team proved it
self worthy of championship honors.
Since then there has been no Wavering
in the loyalty of the state to the team.
Today the colors of Minnesota will be
plentifully in evidence on the Madison
field and Minnesota money will back
Minnesotas belief-if any there be to
take the odds.
Even if Minnesota does not win the
championship it will still be cause
for congratulation that the university
is able to send men to the field of the
strenuous game who can stand up
against the onslaught of the best of

THURSDAY, NOV. &c, 1908.
THANKSGIVING DAY.

Most appropriate is the order Of
red in this nations calendar. In May
comes the day for remembrance when
the nation scatters rosemary on the
graves of its dead. In July comes
the day for rejoicing, a day that per-
mits triumphant people to review the
splendid legacies the dead have left.
And finally, in November. comes that
other day which has something of re-
joicing in it and something of sad
ness-the Day of Thanksgiving. 1t is
represent the climax in this sequence
of great days. 1t was day set apart
in the very beginning Of the nations
life when yet there was no national
life 1t suggests as no other day does
the character of that beginning.
That Thanksgiving Day possesses a
significance for this country only, adds
to it's value. Other nations celebrate
their Independence Day and other ma
lions have a day set apart for the
honoring of their dead but this nation
alone has set apart day for thanks
giving National holidays are national
safeguards. They are nauses for re-
membrane. They necessitate the
looking back over the path that has
been Travelled. Such days warn as
we'll as inspire. Because of its very
character, the festival which the nation
observes today demands that the past
be reviewed. It's value to the nation
depends on the character of that past.
Other holidays are valued for their
memories even when their full signifi-
canoe is forgotten but Thanksgiving
Day compels something more than
nominal observance. 1t is alive, it
makes a demand.
But Thanksgiving Day is a family
festival as we'll as a national festival.
1t is the one day in the year when
families make it a point to be together
and this gives to the holiday a pecu-
liarly sacred character. Today every
hamlet, village, town and city will
witness scores of those reunions that
mean so much to those Americans
who hold family life dear. And though
sadness may creep into the fun and
though sorrow may interfere with the
feasting-for reunions brings pain as
well as pleasure-links that have been
worn loose during a year of absence
will be riveted the more tightly be-
cause of the revival of memories that
are held in common. The laughter
may be faint and forced, but the
Thanksgiving will be none the less
heartfelt for it is sorrow that brings
benefits into relief.

POSTOFFICE CLERKS
ASK FOR CHANGE
Committee of National Association
Waits on the Postmaster General.

WASHINGTON D. c., Nov. 25. -
Frank T. Rogers, president, and John
Caravan and Thomas NJ. Shanahan,
committee of the National Association
of Postoffice Clerks, today presented to
Postmaster General Payne and First
Assistant Postmaster General Wynne
recommendations for legislation in the
interest of postoffice clerks. They sub
mitted the draft of a proposed bill for
the classification of postofice clerks in
first and second-class offices, provid-
ing for promotions based on seniority
of service. The committee called at
tention to the inequality of the rates
for bonding clerks and objected to
having the bond of one company arbi-
trarily apply to the whole term of serv-
ice, thus presenting clerks obtaining
the benefit of possible cheaper rates.
The committee also recommended a
proposition for a forty-eight- hour
week instead of a specified eight-hour

ARTILLERY OFFICERS
LACK EXPERIENCE
Gen. Randolph Says This Constitutes a
Grave Situation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25. -
Brig. Gen. Wallace F. Randolph, chief
of artillery, in his annual report, calls
attention to the fact that only about
"a per cent of the total number of ar
tillery officers present for duty have
had over five years experience in the
artillery.
THE gravity of this situation" he
says, will be readily appreciated when
it is recalled that at the present time
the duties and responsibilities of an
artillery officer are greater than ever
before"
With the adoption of the new rapid
fire guns, Gen. Randolph expresses the
conviction that the field artillery is
about to be placed on a footing of
equality with that of other armies.

A POET IN THE PENSION OFFICE.

Eugene F. Ware, the sweet singer Of
Kansas, is going to give up his place
as commissioner of pensions. The
news will be greeted with mild acclaim
by those persons whose souls are open
to the seductions of the muse. Also
there will be some mild approval on the
part of those soulless ones who are in
terested in the pension office because
they need the money The pension Of
flee is no place for a poet.
Poets are prone to sympathize with
the woes. real or assumed, of humanity.
When Gene Ware was down in Kan
sas his yearning soul kept his heart
in his mouth. He could hardly ever
refrain from lending money to other
and less successful poets than himself.
1t is recorded of him that he sent
money by wire on touch by the late
Eugene Field when the latter was serv-
ing time on a newspaper in Kansas
City. This story may not be entirely
in accord with the facts in the case
but Ware wrote poetry. OF course this
latter fact presupposes poverty, but it
also gives color to the story, for he
used to write street car verses, and that
argues the commercial instinct, and,
in some measure, corroborates the yarn.
Poet Ware was taken to the bosom
OF Col. Roosevelt because he was a
poet. He put into immortal verse
something of the doings of Roosevelt,
the hero, and Roosevelt, the president,
made him the ruler of the pension shop.
Ware was about as bad pension COM
missioner as even poet could be. He
stood to have his leg pulled until his
physical feet tracked no better than
the metrical feet of the Sweet Singer
of Michigan measured. He has been
known to shed tears when a pension
agent put the woes Of his client into
pentameters.
Let Poet Ware reconcile himself to
his lot and stay in the poet class What
need he care who administers the pen
sion laws of the people if he can but
sing their songs? Better far to sing
under the inspiration of the flower
scented air of Kansas than to suffer
vicariousIy for thousands of weeping
pension agents. Better far the airs of
a pleasing fancy than the hot air of
Washington, which was ever unhealthy
for persons whose livers moved them to
poesy.

key to Persia.
BUNDER ABBAS, Persia, Nov. 25.-
While on his way here. the viceroy Of
India, Lord CurzOn held a durbar at
Shargah, which was attended by many
prominent Arab chiefs of that coast. He
made a significant speech, reaffirming
the intention of Great Britain to main
tain her supremacy in the Persian gulf
and declared the government adhered
to it's policy of guardianship and pro-
lection Of the chiefs. The viceroy re-
minded the chiefs of their engage
ments not to enter into agreements or
correspondence with any other power
than Great Britain, not to admit agents
of any other government and not to
ALLEVIATE any part of their territory. If
the chiefs adhered to these engage
ments as they had done in the past,
no one would be allowed to tamper
with their rights and liberties.
The viceroy concluded with empha-
sizing that the influence of the British
government, which maintained the in
dependence Of the chiefs and made the
gulf secure to the ships Of all nations,
must remain supreme.

THE WORST OF 1T.

The strike of street railway employees
in Chicago has been settled on terms
that contain no advantage to anybody
But the worst of it is that the conduct
of the struggle should have proved
once more the incapacity of a great
citys executive for dealing with the
situation and the public's patient toll
mob violence were practically continu-
Gus in Chicago from the beginning. It
makes no difference whether the per-
sons responsible for this disturbance
were members of the unions out
on strike or, as is much more
likely, belonged to the lawless element
in the community that cares nothing
for either side, but finds in the con-
test between them an opportunity to
indulge it's evil passions. The essen
tial point is that the city government
mas SHOWN 1LSGlI a failure.
The main trouble here, as in all
such cases, lies in official surrender.
The time to suppress a mob is
when it first gathers. Disorders OF
the type referred to can be quelled in
stantly and thoroughly if taken in time.
If there is any delay, if there is the
slightest reason to believe that the full
force of official authority will not be
exercised to preserve order, then the
task grows long and difficult. The
price of twenty-four hours of uncer-
tainty and cowardice may be and often
is many days of suffering and blood
shed.
Experience everywhere leaves no
doubt of the truth of this position.
There was an exactly similar strike of
all the street car employees in Seattle
not many months ago. The men went
out and the lawless element of the city,
which is larger in proportion than in
almost any other city in the country,
proceeded to make things lively. They
cut trolley wires, piled distractions on
the tracks, congregated in mobs on the
street corners, stoned the few cars that
were run and originated a reign of vio-
lence. Public spirit was at once
aroused, and the press and all the bus
mess organizations of the city called
upon the authorities to act.
They were reinforced powerfully,
and to the lasting credit, be it said, of
the unions themselves, by a similar re-
quest signed by the officers of the
street railway employees organization.
They ordered their men to keep off the
streets and to assist, if need be, in re-
! pressing disorder wherever it occurred.
The next morning half dozen or more
! disturbers of the peace were arrested
the moment they began operations,
roughly handled and landed in Jail, and
there was an end of trouble. The
strike itself dragged along for week
| or two and was finally settled, as all
such difficulties are, by arbitration.
But there was no rioting or blood
shed or destruction of property.
This much every city executive owes
| to himself and to the community. A
| more serious affair than any outrage
that may be done in any particular dis
trict is the encouragement that it gives
| to lawlessness; and the. belief it spreads
abroad that American institutions are
inadequate to the maintenance of law
| and order, and that individual inter-
ests may override them at pleas
ure. There is no feature of our times
so alarming as the general spread of
