THANKSGIVING

Now winters door is open wide,
And it is Thanksgiving tide
The year is passing; yes tits near gone.
How are you sending your life along?
Are you spending your life in sinful
ways?
Are you seeing no light of Heavens
rays?
Are you giving no thanks and offer
ing no praise,
To him who with JOY has crowned
your peaceful days?
The birds give thanks with a cheerful
song.
They seem praising their God their
whole life long.
They wait not for Thanksgiving Day
to come.
So on this day should you not praise
him some? -
Give thanks for your life, your
strength and mind.
Give thanks for his care so gentle
and kind.
Thank him love. word, and deed,
Thank him by sewing some precious
seed.
Give thanks for the sunshine bright
Give thanks for the moon and stars
of night.
Give thanks for His Son, who in his
wonderful love,
Died for our sins and prepared US a
home above.

HOW OLD is ANN?
From the Washington Post

From the Washington Post.
We do not want to seem ungracious,
but it is none the less a fact that our
time is very much occupied just now
with really important matters, and it
is inconvenient to step aside for the
purpose of deciding a, bet as to the age
of Anna young lady with whom we
are not acquainted and the number of
whose summers does not concern us in
the least. We cannot, however. resist
the opportunities of PRO Bono Pub
licO," "Old Subscriber" ''Vox Populi,"
and company. They have stood by us
through many a crisis and vicissitude,
and We'll not desert them now.
Here is the problem:
Mary is "a years old. Mary
is twice as old as Ann was when
Mary was as old as Ann is now.
How old is Ann?"
Obviously Ann must have been 12
when Mary was as old as Ann is now.
Twice twelve is twenty-four, and Ann
was twelve at the time in dispute or
Mary could not possibly, at twenty
four. be twice as old to-day. There is
no escape from these premises. The
only point remaining to be settled is
the present age of Ann, and we do that
by advancing Ann from u to a figure
at which Mary, going back from "a
would meet her The midway point is
IS. Six years ago Mary was 49, Six
years added to IL makes IS. Six years
ago, therefore, Ann was just half as
cid as Mary is now, in other words, IL,
and hence, at this moment Ann, being
6 years older, is IS.

Craze for Pearls Makes Help Scarce.
Evansville, Ind, Telegram to the

It is difficult to understand the mag

Grand Chain in the mussel shell bust

ILL.,, on the Wabash river, to the
Louisville and Nashville bridge, is
dotted with small boats engaged in

the shoal water permits the mussel
hunters to stand in the river and shovel
the shellfish into their boats.
The spirit of the gold seeker of 1919
pervades the men and boys who are
engaged in mussel hunting. The daily

With all his might and main.
He ran into the list once more.
But couldn't scratch them in again.

CARRYING OUT IRIS PROMIsES.

Cuba is acting In good faith toward
the United States. The promises given
this country are being carried out. Al
though therqwas some hesitation about
granting a hawai- station and a coal
depot iii the islands we are to have
them. a treaty giving these privileges
having been signed the past week, the
question of compensation being left for
future determination. The naval sta.
ton at Guantanamo will be on an ex-
tensive scale and Of course will be of
great Importance. Having a naval
base on n side OF Cuba and a coal
ing station On the other side the United
States will practically command the
north and south passages to the Gulf
of Mexico and will hold mastery over
all that region. Cuba has recognized the
desirability of having this country in q
strong position there. since that will
count for its protection against any out
side enemy and also for. the preserva-
ton of domestic peace.
The tendency of this should be to
strengthen friendly relations and with
an Increased commercial intercourse the
two republics will find mutual benefit
of a very substantial kind. Cuban con-
ditions are said to. be Improving. The
Industries are reported to be fairly ac-
tive and the people as a whole doing

istered, to all appearances, intelligently
and p~rudentiy, SO that the expenditures
are within the income. There is some
opposition to the administration. but it
is not very serious, the people generally
being very well satisfied with the course
and policy of President Palma. Cuba
has a very earnest friend in President
Roosevelt and he can be depended upon
to do all that is practicable for the pro-
motion of good WIN and the establish
ment Of close commercial intercourse
between that country and this.

ABUSE OF THc EMEReEHcT oLAUsE.u

ABUSE or THn EMERGEHCT OLAUSEO
At least three out Of four of the bills
introduced into the present session of
the Nebraska legislature are fitted out
with an emergency clause. The word
ing of this clause is TO the effect that
whereas an emergency exists with ref
M to It's subject matter. the pill
shall take effect and be in force from
and after It's passage.
Bills without the emergency clause go
into effect as laws under express provis-
ions Of the constitution only three calen-
dar months after the adjournment Of the
session at which they were enacted. The
manifest object of the delay in the en-
forcement OF new laws is to give the
people affected by them time to acquaint
themselves with the changes they will
work and to conform to new conditions
they are designed to establish. That
IL is no more than fair that the public
have reasonable notice of the creation
Of new laws goes without saying.
The lOophole left by the constitution
trainers for the immediate enforcement
Of emergency legislation adopted by in
creased majoritles was never intended
TO- cover all legislative measures indis-
~eriminately. II was seen that emergen-
cies might present where quick action
would be necessary, but the emergency
contemplated was to be real and not
fictitious. There Is no emergency that
makes imperative the alteration Of

visions. the amendment Of civil or Grim
hal codes Just on the say-so of the pro-
moter Of the proposed legislation. The

ture at Lincoln. The brakes should be

THE LARGE ~IMMlGRAT1oN.

In the twelve months ending Decem-
Der 81, 1902, 739,2S9 immigrants arrived
on our shores. This was more than 200,-
coo in excess of the number that came
in the previous calendar year. There
was thus added last year to the number
Of in this country nearly
three-duarters of a million of people.
This means so many more needing food
and clothing, so many more added to
the workers of the country and SO many
more people engaged in enlarging the
nations productive capacity.
The large immigration movement con-
tinues and is likely to do so as long as
the present prosperous conditions here
prevail. 1t is not a new experience.
Whenever our industries have been ac-
tive and there has been a demand for
good people they have come here freely
from Europe. Besides, in most foreign
countries during the last year or two
there has been industrial depression,
which of course stimulated emigration
from those countries and the United
States offered the best invitation, in
the opportunities and the higher price
Of labor. 1t seems that this large i'm
migration has been fully absorbed and
provided for. There is no complaint
anywhere of a great excess of labor
and it is quite probable that in portions
of the country 1t will soon be found
that the demand for labor exceeds the
supply. There is a vast amount of work
to be done the coming spring and sum-
mer that calls for such workers as are
coming from Europe and there is no
doubt they will all find abundant en-
ployment. 1t may be true that some of
these immigrants are not of the most
desirable class. but there is a demand
for the unskilled labor which could not
be met IL the advocates of restriction
could have their way.

coNeREssMEN ON COMMISSIONS.

There was q DISCUSSION in the United
States senate a few. days ago in regard
to. appointment by the president Of
members of congress on commissions
and it was shown that senators gen.
orally are opposed to the practice. The
subject was not for the first time before
the senate, having been discussed Mt
the time the Hawaiian commission was
appointed. and 80 strong was the feel
ing In regard to the selection OF SEN
ators as commissioners that their APP
pointment was not confirmed and they
acted as the personal representatives Of
the president. Reference was made to
the selection Of two members Of the SEN
ate to act on the Alaskan boundary
commission and while there was of
course no objection made to those SEN
ators-the term Of one Of whom, Mr..
Turner, expires with the present con-
~gress-there was evidently a feeling
that the president should have APP
pointed men not In the public service.
Senator Hale was particularly earnest
in ~deprecating the appointment Of mem
bers Of congress on commissions, while
Senator Bacon oppressed the opinion
that it is distinctly in opposition to the
express policy, II not to the express
command, of the = constitution Of the

OF the constitution Of executive infu

the relation between the Legislative
power and the executive power. There

HOME Rule FoR DENVER.

From now and henceforth the city
Of Denver will enjoy the privileges and
~prerogatives of home rule In its broad
est sense. The supreme court of Colo
RADIO has declared valid the constitu-
tional amendments adopted at the late
November election, that creates the
city and county of Denver out of the
territory of the city and half a dozen
surrounding towns and gives absolute
home rule in municipal affairs not
only to Denver, but to all Colorado
cities Of the first and second classes.
These Colorado municipalities are given
complete power for merging city and
county offices, making and amending
their own charters by popular vote
and placing the government Of the fire
and police departments and the man
agement of public works under civil
service, subject to supervision by Off
GERS chosen by the people.
The very first step under the Colorado
home rule amendment will be the con-
solidation of the offices Of city and
county treasurer of Denver under one
head, which will effect a large saving
to the taxpayers and materially i'm
prove the tax collecting machinery. The
consolidation of city and county gov
ernments and the guarantee of home
rule cannot fail to prove an immense
advantage to the city of Denver, not
merely by tightening the burden of tax
alton, but also by removing the bitter
strife engendered by legislative inter
ference with purely local affairs, which
arrays against each other elements
that would otherwise tremendously
work for the upbuilding Of the city.
The example set. by Colorado in
granting home rule to cities should by
all means be emulated by Nebraska.
The periodic turmoil in Omaha, Lin
coin, South Omaha and the larger
towns of Nebraska over charter amend
ments that take up much of the time
Of every succeeding legislature SHOULD
be done away with. There is no good
reason why cities of Nebraska should
not enjoy the right of self-government
as much as the cities of Colorado, or of
California and Missouri, which have
been clothed with charter making
powers and have effected considerable
saving to the taxpayers by the consol-
idation of county and city governments.

Mrs. Maud Ballington Booths sugges-
ton that passenger trains be equipped
with materials needed for first aid to
the injured. as well as with apparatus
to extinguish fires, will appeal strongly
to the travelling public. The great
trouble encountered in a railway wreck,
however. is that people lose their self
composure and in their excitement for
get to make use OF the facilities at hand
to relieve distress. Yet a supply Of
bandages, arniea, ~chloroform, ETC.,
would be a boon to suffering humanity
in such railway disasters, and it is not
asking too much of the railroads to do
this for protection of both patrons and
OF themselves.
