strength of our country today is vested In the masses of the people, the common peo- pie, and as long as the people, the common people, remain true to God so long will the government at Washington gloriousy live. The responsibility of the chief exec utive grows greater as the influence of the country increases. May we ever seek out the wisest sand best of our statesmen for that high office. But let us never be unduly alarmed. The destines of this great nation are in the hands of the King of kings. To him on this coming Thanks giving day we bend the knee and commit to him the future of our beloved coun- try. Though through a political blunder a bad or a foolish man were elected to the presidential chair and as a conse- quence peril menaced the nation, vet if we held fast our faith, out of the fire the government would emerge purified and triumphant. preserved by the almighty power of the God of our fathers.
 Lastly, we have cause for Thanksgiving in the homage now being paid to this na- ton by other governments. Our power and our rectitude are coming to recogni- ton, and on all hands our friendship is sought Our former enemies are now our most enthusiastic friends. and instead of detraction we are greeted with approba- ton and adulation.

A Nation of Happy Homes.

Another cause for national rejoicing: We are, as a nation, a great collection of hap py homes As people, we love our own firesdes The name that is most honored in our ears Is not that of general or prince or king or cardinal, but that of father and mother. husband wife, brother sister. son, daughter, grandchild. So honored are the domestic terminologies among us that one of the greatest encomiums ever given to our martyred president, William Mckinley, was that he was tender, low ing husband. The best speech he ever made, the one that touched most deeply the hearts of his countrymen was not political speech, but the gentle words he uttered to his sick wife. To her he was never impatient, never unkind, always the tender and protecting lover and friend Those little love-like attentions to his in- valid spouse thrilled American hearts be- cause the American nation is essentially collection of loving, happy homes
 Of course in making such a statement as this we do not affirm that the Ameri- can people are entirely free from domestic scandal and divorce courts, but we do affirm that in comparison with the mill lions upon millions of happy American homes unhappy homes are the rare ex- ception. And we do affirm that the longer we live the dearer those homes become to us day by day. I know that this fact is true in reference to myself and my many friends. When l was a boy l was sent away to a military boarding school. People said that I would get homesick when I left my mother and sisters. Well, that was true I did get homesick. But as a small boy l never got so awfully home sick in leaving my mother and sisters as I do now when l have to leave my wife and my children. Why. home is becoming so precious to me that people say l am getting foolish and unreasonable about it. l. myself. not only never want to leave home. but I never want any of the mem bers of my family to leave it. If one of my children Is gone even for night there Is left great big aching void. Is moi my history that of almost every one of usP Are we not. one and all. members of happy homes? Shall we not then thank God for the love that glows around our firesides, for our many blessings do- mestic2

 When the United States government was formed there were thousands of foreign statesmen who derislvely shook their heads These wiseacres said: That na- tion will never be run successfully.

the practcabilty of Robert Stephenson's locomotive, and it ran after all, so after the revolutionary war, the United States government ran smoothly and successful ly. It ran in spite of the evil prophecies that kings and princes and European statesmen uttered against it.
 Then came the dark clouds of the civil war. Oh, how dark and how threatening were those cloudsl The cannonadings of the most awful atmospheric thunders were not louder than the roarings of the guns at Vicksburg and Gettysburg and Atlanta and Petersburg. The worst flashes of atmospheric lightning never blinded the eyes as badly as did the flames of burning homes in the southland or the sheets of fire leaping out of the cannon's mouth and the sharpshooters rifles. Aha" again cried the political wiseacres of Europe. '"rhe government for the peo- pie and by the people has at last heard it's funeral knell,' But the dark clouds rolled away. the sword was turned into the plowshare and the spear into the pruning hook, and, thank God, the gov ernment for the people and by the peo- pie" still lived.
 Under Gods Guardianship.
 Now, my friends. there have been for eign depreciators of our form of govern ment, and there have been domestic de- preciators also. There have been pontical agitators, decade after decade, who have tried to convey the idea that this govern- ment of ours was built upon the quick sands that the corner stone Of our na- tional capitol would be toppled over un- less this or that man was elected Pres ident of the United States These domes- tic political agitators had their hayday In the first half of the past century. When Henry Clay was defeated for the presi- dencv in 1S44, my grandfather cried like A little child My father said of him that he, like a host of "Prince Harry's' follow CTS. thought that the stability Of thls country was forever destroyed. Clear down to the time of the election or r,rant over Greeley and a Garfield over a Handbook and Cleveland over Blaine we have heard the old story that the nrosperity or the failure of our govern ment depended upon the election of this or that man. Now, thank God, as na- ton we have lived long enough to know that the strength of this country is not de- pendent upon any one man, any one hun dred men or any one thousand men. The

Our National Possessions.

Good not only in reference to it's fertll- ity but also in size. The United States, exclusive of the immense gold fields of Alaska. is estimated to have an area of over 3,025 500 square miles, Few people have any conception of that enormous ter ritory means. few months ago dis gruntled statesman of Texas was report ed to have declared that in the near fu- ture the United States government would disintegrate He begged the Texans to stand firm together, so that the state of old Sam Houston might become the "re- public of Texas" with 30,00O000 inhabi- tants But, though this statement excited a smile over the length and breadth of the land and though we do not believe this government of ours will ever disinte- erate as long as earthly time shall last, we do believe that the statement in refer ence to the supporting area of Texas is not overdrawn. Germany in 1895 had population of 3S.517975 inhabitants, but Texas is larger than Germany. France in 1896 had population of 3S,517,975 in hab- itants, but Texas Is larger than France. Italy in 1895 had a population of 31, l02, S33 inhabitants, but Texas is nearly two and one-half times as large as Italy Great Britain and Ireland collectively have an area of 120.S09 square miles and by the 1891 census 37,732, ,922 inhabitants. but Texas is over twice as large the areas of Great Britain and Ireland combined. California, Montana or the two Dakotas united are as large as any of the Euro pean monarchies I have mentioned.

The desire of President Roosevelt to
learn the result of the prize fight, is
the touch of human interest that
brings him into elbow touch with his
fellow citizens. 1t also illustrates the
robust honesty and directness of his
methods. Most men in his position,
who desired such information, would
have planned to secure it in some
roundabout way; but that isn't the
Presidents style. He scorns subter-
fuge and indirection. He was inter-
ested to know the result of the con-
test, and didn't feel called upon to
conceal or apologize for the fact. 1t is
this straightforward way Of meeting
things that gives the President his
hold upon the hearts of the American
people. They love a straightforward,
truthful, courageous man as heartily
as they despise a time server, and a
liar.

that the colored man is being over
educated; that is, that many negroes
are being given diplomas from higher
institutions of learning who are una
BILE to find employment in keeping with
their training. 1T must be that this
idea springs from the activity of Book

winning of prize for oratory or a
class day honor by a negro at Harvard
or Yale. The cold facts show little
tendency in the negro toward getting
a higher education. There has just
been issued a little Volume, called NE

that the negro is being over-educated.
