BERLIN, Nov. SO.-The Reichstag today
discussed a socialistic Interpolation asking
Chancellor Won Buelow what measures the
imperial government proposes to take
against the meat scarcity. Herr Scheidc-
mann, socialist, quoted figures showing the
decrease in the slaughtering Of animals at
the public abattoirs and their lighter
weight compared with previous years. The
price of pork, no said, was 40 marks per
metric hundredweight I'm Chicago, 70 i'm

CART. He denied that the closure of the
frontiers was necessary to protect German
live stock against foreign diseases, since
such diseases were very rare in France,
Holland and Denmark, whereas $4,000 farms
in Germany were reported to be affected
with red murrain in 1904 and 5000 in 1905.
The dearness OF meat, Herr Scheidemann
declared, was partly due to the meat law,
which necessitates heavy Inspection
charges.
Vice Chancellor Count Won Posadowsky-
Wehner answered the Interpolation in be-
half of the chancellor lie said that the
opening of TIE frontiers was a matter for
the individual state governments to decide,
but the Saxon and Bavaran governments
had rejected such reciprocity. The relaxa-

FRICTION OVER TRAFFIC THE CAUSE

Neutrality laws.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9O-The acute
situation between France and Venezuela
has for some time past distracted atten-
ton from the quarrels which the NeneEue-
Ian government already had on hand with
its neighbors. Some diplomats here fa-
miliar with the conditions In that part OF
South America feel that In the near flu
ture other trouble may be expected and
that some day the trouble between The
Netherlands and Venezuela may be re-
newed, possibly leading to an outbreak be-
tween the two countries.
The chief complaint of The Netherlands
government is the way in which the Venez-
uelan customs house officers exercise
their right Of search. II is alleged that
many times, without due cause. the GUS
toms officers bring ships to their ports and
keep them practically prisoners. The Venez-
ueland government on its side has made
several complaints about the smuggling
into the harbors of Venezuela, and which
consists chiefly of firearms For the last
thirty years there has been a law in Cura-

political exiles who come to the island to

protests have been made, but it is charged
the Venezuelan government has followed
the same course as in most OF its diplo-

purpose for which you come. A lack of
definite aim or purpose is the trouble with
many. We pray without feeling necessity
for prayer and the reason for this is that

the rut of our daily habits and occupations.
We learn but little Of the magnitude and
power of the great world around us and
thus become selfish and narrow minded.
The spirit OF selfshness is the opposite OF
the spirit OF greatness, just as the spirit
OF greed is TO generosity. And just so must

At the union services OF the downtown

jerks OF the First Presbyterian church
took 70. his subject, The Upper and
Neither Springs of American Prosperity.
His text was from Judges l., 10, and Caleb
gave her the upper springs and the neither
springs" ...
"The upper springs Of our prosperity are
those great natural resources He has given
US" said Dr. jerks. 1T is strange that
God saved the best part or the world until
the last and gave 1t to the suffering and
oppressed of all nations. He gave us
mighty land. peculiarly fitted for homo
genous people, for it is 5000 miles from
east to west. and only 1000 miles from
north to south, and population travels in
latitude. not in longitude, He gave land
which is the granary and the market OF
the world. He built the great natural
highways OF commerce, and He made OF
this an iron age, which spins out rails
from north to south and from east to west
lacing and interlacing our country with
the avenues of trade"
The neither springs of American pros
perity wore spoken Of as things peculiar
to the nation. The greatest government
in the world "Old Glory" which stands
for the rights or men ana guarantees
them, the American spirit OF democracy,
the American genius for hard work were
mentioned by DR.. jerks as gifts of God
for which the nations men and women
ought to OFFER thanks. He commended the
PRONUNCIATION of the Monroe doctrine and
the maintenance Of its principles. But,
greatest of all the neither springs said
DR.. jerks, is that remarkable American
patriotism, the like Of which is seen in
no other part of the globe.

burst with new wine. God has given to
this state the best year of its history in
this regard
I'VE have special cause for thanksgiving
this year because OF the wave OF righteous
ness which is sweeping over the land. This
year has been characterized by the UNI
earthing of iniquity in the commercial and
political world. The hopeful side is, 1t has
been shown us there is a righteousness in
the hearts of the people when it is APP

full for free and fearless public press
We owe much TO those who WELD the pen

ncNeFa OF the FeOples
Everybody, after the tastes Of his own
heart, was thankful last night, but the
manner Of expressing it was as diverse as
the lives Of each. To begin with, the high
est of all, the thousands of quiet reunions
in the homes of the city were surely the
finest expression of thankfulness. Every

ally dark, twlnkling lights showed where
loving people were telling whole years

Orpheum was all done at $50. At the
Boyd the situation was the same, After
this the overflow distributed itself among
the different dance halls and the newly
opened skating floor at the Auditorium
In the latter place the skates were all
sold at 10 D. M, and many eager young
people were waiting in line before the
windows. The crowd on the floors was 30

Not many were learning, and this few
were forced to stay in the restricted area

was in attendance, but the roar of the
hundreds of rollers drowned every strain
Of music. The most noticeable improve
ment was the woman's room. The women
and girls did not have to compete with the
restless. pushing men and boys before the
ticket window.
Every dance hall was going at full blast
and large crowds patronlzed them. Most
of these dances were under the auspices
of societies of one kind or another The
crowds were orderly and decorous.

general festivities also, and a few of its

The musical services were rendered by a

said in part: I'VE are thankful that in this

pal are for the most part God fearing men.
We should be thankful the hydra-h headed
monster of graft and dishonesty Is being
attacked with fearlessness and vigor and
the time of his ultimate punishment is
rapidly approaching. The purifying innu-
ence OF this crusade against graft will be
of Unreasonable benefit TO the country,

world as He can find men to work with.
With such men He Is working marves

wish and hope for, but each year God s
work is making itself more manifest and
faith in Him is growing stronger. We

Rev. w. ID. McGreROr Tells of Origin
of Service.
The pastors of the Grace Baptist and
South Tenth Street Methodist churches
united to hold services Thanksgiving morn
ing with the Castelar, street Presbyterian
congregation. The sermon was preached
by Rev. w. d. McGregor of the South
Tenth Street church, from Psalm L., Il:
"offer unto God thanksgiving. and pray
thy VOWS unto the most high" DR.. Nc
Gregor said in part:
THE custom OF Thanksgiving services
originated among the Hebrews They were
held annually while the Hebrews dwelt in
tents, and continued for eight DAYS at
last. The Jews realized their Indebtedness
to God for the kindness showered upon
them as people and because He had made
them his chosen people Thanksgiving
originated in America among the Puritans
who thus acknowledged the hand OF God
in their undertakings while they were open
ing up a country, the ultimate greatness
OF which they never dreamed of.
I'VE should be proud of the fact that in
1889 George Washington recommended a day
OF thanksgiving for the adoption Of the
constitution of the United States We
should rejoice in that our people thanked
God for guidance in their planning for the
future of great country.
Thanksgiving means more than turkey
and mince pies. but there are still all too
many who are childish in their conception
of the meaning OF the day. 1t is not in
tended for drinking. carousing, visiting
theater-going, for banquet or balls 1t is
a day to mediate on our blessings. spiritual
and temporal, to sit down and count our
blessings This day we should fervently
approach God and devoutly thank Him and
give thanks and offerings for His bountfuI
mereies. II He failed to open his bountful
hand and deal out great harvests. even in
over-abundance, the commercial world
itself would fall
ION this Thanksgiving day every church
should be filled to OVERLOOKING; every home
should be filled with praise and thanksgiv-
ing to God; every heart should be filled with
joy. Our country and our state and city
have been greatly blessed by God and we
should indeed shout for praise of Him
and make this day of real thanksgiving
