York Life Insurance company to buy
the New York legislature; in other
words, to prevent the enactment OF
laws that would keep Mccall and

IS 1T POSSIBLE

1t is argued by some of our
citizens, well-meaning men too,
that Northern people without
actual knowledge of conditions
here, will not purchase our lands
unless, forsooth, the price is
put up" In other words I'M
less the true status is considera-
bly, Inflated as to price. That
if these people be offered land
at four and five dollars per acre
they will think it valueless,
while if put up" to ten dollars
or more they will become inter-
ested at once. Is it possible:
Is it possible that our breth.
rem of the Northern States have
forgotten the history of their
own country: Do they over
look the fact that within the
memory of men now living the
rich prairies of Illinois, Iowa,
and later on Nebraska and Kan
sas, were sold even below the
lowest prices here? Why, The
News man for twenty years lived
neighbor to person by the
name o. n. w. Toby, an In
didnian, who when a young man
pre- empted a home where the
best part of Chicago now stands
and abandoned it, getting absO-
lutely nothing for his 100, in or
der to go "West, to what he at
that time deemed a better coun-
try, Indiana. This same man
paid for his Indiana home, 100 A.,
a wooden axle wagon and a yoke
of bulls; and afterwards moving
"West" into North Missouri, he
got a claim" there for an old
mare. This is history and mod
ern history, a true state of
things as they existed not only
in the Northern and Western
States mentioned, but even in
Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1905-11-24

our own state of Texas, but The
News will treat of this later on.
Is it possible, we again ask,
that the folks North of US are
so mentally obtuse as to be
not only dead to the history of
their own country and thus un.
able to make the com parisOn
between that in its raw state
and this, but are also so much
of a blank Intellectually as to
refuse to believe the evidence of
their own senses? The News
cannot bring itself TO believe
any such thing.
1t is possible that there are
some mum b-skulls up North, We
have some here; they, like the
poor mentioned in Holy writ,
have been, and will continue to
be, with you always, but The
News is not at all willing to see
it that all are that way or even
a majority. True, we haye seen
some of them in rather "close
herd" but even then they were
not all suckers" by any means,
but rather, may we opine, honor
ably tied up to the hedgers.
1t has ever been the policy of
the editor of The News to deal
with others as be himself would
wish to be treated, and in the
case before US the facts them.
selves are good enough. To as
sumo that these people of the
old States must be doCtored as
to prices and then act on that
proposition may WIN LOT aWnlle,
but we can rest assured that IN
the end the truth will "fnd us
out" and then will come the
boomerang.
This country needs settlers,
people who are indeed farmers
and home makers; we need them
badly, must have them in order
to prosper to anything like that
degree assured by our natural
gifts. To supply our needs
in this particular, in the
humble opinion of The News.

TIL A \ K S E | Y ING

Thursday OF next week is the
day fixed by both National and
State authority for this occasion.
Thanksgiving Day is peculiar to
this commonwealth. The precedent
for it was laid years ago by the
Puritan fathers when they landed
on the bleak shores Of MaSsachu-
sets. and not only gave thanks for
deliverance from a cold grave with
in the bosom OF the stormy Allan
tic, but also for their arrival in a
country, forbidding and unhospita-
he as it must have been to them
at that date, where they could wor-
ship God according to the dictates
Of their own conscience.
These old "FatherS" who, for
the sake of what TO them was pure
and undehled religion, had given
up cosy and we'll supplied homes in
bonny Scotland and beautiful
Albion; had in exchange for them
accepted exile far from kith and
kin under the far less kindly skies
Of the dripping Netherlands, had at
last found a country that they
could, under charter from the King,
worship God as it pleased them to
DO. If these people with bridges
cut away behind them and nought
before them save the barren coasts
OF New England and surrounded by

that, had cause for rejoicing and
thanks TO God, the "giver of all
good, how do we Of the present
generation stand in that respect

Portland's Active Veterans.

DIR. Osler made a great mistake
when he fixed the limit of productive
and active life at 60. 1t would be
bad thing for Portland If his rule
could be put into operation. There
are very many men more than ten
years beyond that point who are still
active leaders and some of more than
so years have yet to cease to work.
Some time ago Rev. DR.. Henry
blanchard, the pastor of the First
Universalist church, resigned his pas
torate because he had reached the age
OF 20. IT was not accepted then but
was the next year. Since then he has
been to California and has supplied a
leading Massachusetts church for
more than a year, preached many no.
table sermons. and is now here for
a few weeks, and is delivering a the
Church of the Messiah as a supply.
series of sermons more eloquent, more
impressive and effective all admit
than those he preached here during
his more than 20 years of a remark
ably successful pastoratc.- He shows
no sign of giving way at any point
of activity but the reverse.
Ex-Governor Frederick ROBBIE is now
well past so but there is nothing in
his walk, manner or life suggesting
age. He is as active and fOrceful as
ever and his many lines of activity
