Tomorrow is Thanksgiving
Day. It is good day, one of
the best days Of the whole year,
and when you come to think
about it there have been some
pretty tolerably good days out
Of the 366 of the past year. And
Thanksgiving Day is an Ameri-
can day; others may use it, but
we made it. More than eight
millions Of people will tomorrow
do honor to the spirit Of Thanks
giving Day and in the plentitude
of things which they will find to
be thankful for there will be
none more worth while than the
day itself.
We are mighty thankful for

Time to Tighten the Screw.

There seems to be a screw
loose somewhere in Minnesota S
penal system.
During the past nine months
the state has been the scene Of
repeated murders Of the most
brutal type. Not a week passes
that the news of some horrible
murder, or some brutal attempt
at murder, does not shake the
state from the Iowa line to the
northernmost tip of the north
west angle. What are we going
to do aboutit? Is this sort of
thing going to keep right on?
Beltrami county, which has
sinned SO previously in this re-
spect, bears no heavier burden Of
guilt than do many other sections
Of the state and it begins to ap-
pear that human life is held
almost in contempt in Minnesota.
Is it that convictions are so
seldom secured that the muir
der is encouraged to satisfy his
bloody passion? Or has the hang.
ing moose no terrors? Whatever
it be, it is apparent that Mime
sofas penal system is terribly
ineffective.
The pulpit is won't to broadly
give some attention to the gen.
eral public veal on Thanksgiving
Day. There is no more fruitful
subject than this for the NOR.
row s sermon.

it quite pleasant to take. Mr..

says: 81 have used Cham er-

FOREIGN LAND OWNERS,

The peoples party from its organi-
cation to the present time has always
denounced the foreign ownership Of
land. The evils of it are so apparent
that no one has ever had the hardi-
hood to deny them. Vast tracks of
land in this countrysare owned by for
eigners, and thousands of men toll
year after year to send the owners
rents that are spent in foreign coun-
tries. Chief of these sinners is John
Jacob Astor, who renowned his
American citizenship and became a
British subject. He lives IN London
and spends the money wrung out of
his poor New York tenants, and most
of them are very poor, in the senseless
aping of foreign arlstocrats, who
hang around the court of King Ed
ward. How he and his wife attempt
to Guido the nobility of England is
shown in cablegram that was printed
in last Sundays papers. 1t describes
the appearance of Mrs. Astor at some
sort of social function and says:
"Sensationally low was the gown
she wore at Devonshire house. At
the back it was cut right to the
waist line. and in broad curve
which quite revealed the whole
width of the shoulder right to the
