Thanksgiving Day and EpWOFth Or
DhanaQe.

November the 30th has been
appointed as National Thanks
giving day. That day will be a
time CT general rejoicing and
praise, of thanksgiving and
prayer throughout the country.
In South Carolina there are
many whose hearts will be
stirred with gratitude to God
for his continued and abundant
mercies and blessings to them
and theirs. Their lives, health
and strength have been precious
in His sight. and the blessings
of heaven have been upon their
homes and their business under
takings. They will be pleased
to give suitable expressions OF
their gratitude to God for his
goodness to them. This can
best be done by aiding his..poor,
unfortunate and sorrowinS ones;
He says, "Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least OF
these my brethren, ye have done
it unto me-" Z" The dependent,
homeless orphans are dear to
his great, loving heart, and
there is nothing perhaps that
we could do for him, that would
please him more than to care
for these little ones.
On thanksgiving let the or
phans be specially remembered,
let arrangements be made in
every community, by which the
more fortunate can show their
gratitude to God by helping the
fatherless and dependent. By
contributing of our means in
their behalf We honor our Lord
and become a blessing to others.
While there is general. rejoicing
throughout the land, should not
the orphans have some eviden-
ces, some sweet tokens OF their
Fathers love. and care:
Money! provisions and dry
goods will be acceptable and
helpful.

Current Comment on Leading Topics


the work OF political agitators impelled by
selfish motives or was undertaken in response
to the unmistakable sentiment of the people,.
The Swedish lgislature, being also inclined
to a conciliatory policy, the prospects OF an
early and mutually satisfactory settlement
could hardly be better than they are. In re-
fusing to fight for the re-establishment of the
old partnership, Sweden wins and deserves
the appreciation and applause of her neighbors
among the nations. BY inviting the opinion
OF their fellow-citizens upon the separation
policy, the Norwegian authorities offer the
best possible proof that they are impelled
only by motives of the highest and most dis
interested patriotism. Could the union have
been maintained in harmony and to the ma
terial prosperity Of both countries, the posi-
tion of either nation would have been prefer
able to one OF independence and isolation. But
the present outlook is infinitely better than
that which would have followed the restora-
alton of the union by force or the defeat Of
Sweden In endeavoring to effect such restor-
ation.

The st. Louis Post-Dspatch sees in the gran
of popular assembly to the Russian nation a
chance for the people to secure greater liberty:
An assembly merely deliberative and con-
sultative, with no power of initiation and
only a qualified veto is not positive force
in any governmental system. But experience
shows that such experiments always go be-
yond the original design. The Estates General
which assembled in 1889, almost Immediately
dissolved and the members OF the first and
second estates were absorbed in the third,
which proclaimed itself constitutional as
sembly, representing the French nation and
proceeded with the work of revolution, which
was accomplished with almost miraculous
thoroughness. The assembly of 1887 met to
deliberate and consult on certain questions Of
trade and commerce among the state. I'M
mediately it converted itself into constitu-
tional convention and the result of the delib-
Grafton was accepted. This Russian assembly
will probably have a similar history. The
spirit of progress is afoot in the cars do
minions and the members will hardly con-
tent themselves with advisory powers It
will be strange indeed if the new body does
not follow the example Of the States General
and try its hand at drastic reforms.

NEDRAsKA's REVENUE LAW

S Many of the Nebraska papers are beginning
10 voice the general feeling of disappointment
with reference to the new revenue law, which
in it's operation, has had an effect the direct
opposite of that which its supporters predicted
The Holt County Independent says:
This law is one of the first steps in the
Capitalization Of government and the people
will do well to wrest the awful power from the
hands of those who are using it for such
purpose before it becomes too late to do So
The Independent said at the time the law
". passed that it was vicious in its nature
and tendency and subsequent development
has proven that we were in the right. It is
vicious because it takes the right of local
government away from the people and places
unlimited power in the hands of few politi-
clans. You have observed that under this
law your taxes have increased and are in
creasing; also that the levy is becoming larg-
er and your valuation higher, and yet the bur-
den of state becoming heavier and the state
DIT increasing with each year under the
reign of the republicans. 1t was the same
thing before the populist party was organized
and became strong enough to take the reins
of government away from the government
politicians and railroad pass grabbers and
place them in honest hands. Under control of
the populists and democrats the state was re-
deemed and and the state debt was being
wiped out, but the railroads doubled and
trebled their campaign contributions and did
the same with their free passes and the peo-
people were betrayed again and sold to the
corrupt railroad interests. The railroads did
not take this trouble sOr nothing and in some
future issue we shall show the connection of
this new revenue law and what it has done
and is doing for the railroads of Nebraska.

BRYAN FOR PRESIDENT

The first formal declaration with reference
to democratic candidate for president in 1905
was made at banquos to William ]. Bryan in
Madison, Wis, when the national committeeman
for Wisconsin named Mr.. Bryan as the standard
bearer:
Mr. Bryans attitude toward the nominal
tion for 1908 is no secret. He can hardly be
insensble to the fact obvious to all other in
telligent observers, that the tide which is
running SO swiftly and so strongly, both with
in and without the democratic party, against
the siprit of plutocracy with which this re-
public has for a generation been obsessed
is running also just as swiftly and just as
strongly in favor of his candidacy and elec-
tion Beyond all dispute he is the choice of
the democracy of both parties. But Bryan
holds his personal ambitions in the leash of
his patriotism He makes his personality
secondary to his principles. Notwithstanding
his supreme availability now for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1908, he doubtless rea-

REGULATION OF THE RAILWAYS

The latest masterpiece Of the railway bureau
Gratis is a circular giving the freight rates be-
tween New York and Chicago in 1897 and 1905,
for certain commodities, together with the prices
at which these commodities are being sold at the
present time Attention is called to the fact that
the increase in freigh. rates has not kept pace
with the increase in prices. The comparative

THE FATE OF RUSSIA

The uncertain state or the peace negotiation
las not prevented the newspapers from GOSSIP
ng freely about the conference, but most of tn
is of little value. The New York Worl
las this to say:
After the diplomats first touch fails they
may thrust and fent and parry for weeks.
The United States and Spanish commission
ers at Paris discussed the Cuban article of
the protocol alone for four weeks When
the Philippine question was taken up the
Spanish government at first fatty rejected the
American proposals. 1t was not until three
weeks later that the United States presented
final proposition and Spain assented. The
negotiations occupied two full months, al
though the protocol afforded definite basis
for the treaty. The Russian and Japanese
ENJOYS meet without previous understanding
on any single point except that they shall
discuss peace In the adjustment of questions
OF territory, of indemnity and Of the future
military and political policies of their govern
ments there is room for complete disagree
ment. Russia has played bluffing game at
other peace conferences at Berlin in 1878
for example, where she finally accepted Dis
raeli'S terms rather than go to war with
England. Japan would commit fatal blunder
il she sacrificed important advantages in order
to win Russia over She has a right to
Saghalien. She has right to an indemnity
to repay the costs of the war She has hui
inflated Russia in the eyes of the world, and
it is none of her business to pretend to dis
avow the plain fact by professions of genero-
sty. And although it was no part of Japan's
plans, she has brought nearer the day of free
dom for the Russian masses In her offers Of
peace no more is it her duty to bolster up
the czar on his throne and to set back the
cause OF liberty and progress in his misruled
empire.

The Chicago Tribune finds that the railways
are on their good behavior at the present time.
oDeying all orders and instructions of the in.
terstate commerce commission with meekness
and alacrity their purpose being to ward of ad.
verse legislation
The people will be pleased with these
signs OF new disposition on the part of the
railroads to treat shippers more equitably and
to obey the law before they are forced to.
They are on their good behavior because they
wish to prevent the enactment of rate law.
They will stay on their good behavior only if
by the enactment and enforcement of new
legislation, they are compelled to do So
There may be some newspapers in the
state which believe that there is no real di-
vision in Iowa over rate regulation If there
are they will shortly be undeceived For
neither the Esch-Townsend bill, nor any bill
like it, will pass congress without desperate
fight in which real showing of hands will
be made At that time it will appear that
there is less difference of opinion in Iowa over
tariff legislation than there is over corpora
tion legislation. The real meat in the cocoa

The author of this circular says that this
emphasizes the fact that it is not lower general
freight rates that anybody wants, but the arrest
ing OF determinations" With reference to this
argument the Springfield Republican says:
Nobody among the consuming classes is
expecting to get rich out of rate reductions
that may be effected if the law is strength
ened, or to win a distinct and calculable ad-
vantage; but everybody is or ought to be in
terested in having justice done as between the
railroads and the rest of the country and it is
vi on this broad ground that the demand for
larger public power over railroad charges
rests. The idea that people do not care how
high these charges go, if they are only made
uniform, is trife beyond even the absorb.
ent power OF the silly season. They want the
railroads held down to fair and reasonable
charges, no matter how it may affect any
one individually: they object to monopoly
extortion, either here or elsewhere on general
principles If for no other reason. Regard for
justice as a vital principle for the orderly con-
duct OF civilized society still retains a strong
abiding place among the American people.
Ihis is true, much as it may surprise and
disgust the railway spokesmen who are send
ing out such arguments as the one here
noticed.
