1--WE need In this hour more than
ever before a new baptism in civic
righteousness, in public honesty, in the
patriotism of peace, in the courage TO
say what we believe to be true and to
do what we believe to be right. we
have become altogether too tender TO
the wrongdoer too indulgent to the
man who fails to use his public trust
for the public good. We will be I'M
successful in preserv p; the high
standards of upright, Impartial and
lust government unless the voters are
strong in virtue and active in fulfilling
the duties Of citizenship. We have a
better chance than any other people
on earth, but it is a chance which if
neglected will consign us to a more
dismal defeat than any other nation
can suffer"
The warning to the American people
was uttered by Governor A. b. Cum
minis in an address before large audi
ence at the Chautauqua in Iowa Fails,
Ia, the other afternoon. His subject
was 1.-THE Reign Of the Common PEG,
pie" and he based his talk on the re
cent revelations in the financial and
railway worlds He prefaced his ad-
dress with an outline of the history of
the common people from the earliest
times to the present, says an Iowa
Falls special dispatch to the Chicago
Record Herald.
Turning to the combinations Of man
ufacturers, he said:
"They want duties on imports so
high that, having sti1ed competition,
they can SSH at home at their own
prices, even though they sell proftably
abroad for much less. Having either
bought their rivals or overcome them
by unfair practices, they want to be
let alone and every effort for fair reg
ulation, every demand for square deal
ing, is met by a combination of wealth
and influence against which only the
most resolute integrity can stand with
out terror and dismay.
II do not accuse them individually Of
dishonesty, but the system reeks with
falsehood, trickery and corruption. 1t
seems like a paradox, but it may be
true that in the vastness of their opera
lions the profits of dishonor flow clean
and pure into the pockets of their
sanity leaders, but if so Il am not
here to ask whether their money is
tainted beyond sanctifcation) then let
them pour their fortunes into the chan
nels of atonement and leave the gov
eminent to the common people.
Il wish to impress upon you the fact

The Obs erVer.

The Observer has just been looking
carefully through Governor Bradford's
''Hstory of the Plymouth Plantation''
for an account of the first Thanksgiy-
ing Day, said to have been celebrated
by the Pilgrim Fathers in 1921. His
search has been in vain. Governor
Bradford makes no mention of any
such observance, although the index to
the History published by the Common
wealth of Massachusetts, makes a mis-
! leading reference to page 1875. A care
ful reading of this page reveals no
word of a Thanksgiving service. On
the following page there is on account
of conditions in the autumn of 1921
which may we'll have called forth a SER
vice of Thanksgiving, and probably
did, although Bradford makes no men,
tion of it.
"They begane now to gather in ye
small harvest they had, and to fitte up
their houses and dwellings against
winter, being all we'll recovered in
health and strength, and had all things
in good plenty; for as some were thus
imployed IN affairs abroad, others were
eXersised in fishing, aboute, codd, &
bass, & other fish, of which they tooke
| good store, of which every family had
their portion. All ye summer there
was no wante. and now began to
| come in store of fJule as winter APP
reached, of which this place did abound
when they came first but afterwards
decreased by degrees). And besids
water foule, ther was great store of
wild Turkies, of which they took many;
besids venison, &c. Besids they had
aboute peck a meale a weeke to a
person, or now since harvest, Indian
corne to vt proportion. Which made
many afterwards write so largely of
their plenty hear to their friends in
England, which were not famed, but
true reports"
Bradford's History has been Justly
pronounced lone of the most interest
ing records of human struggle ever
penned." Certainly no thoughtful per-
son can read it without being deeply
impressed with the truth of Fiske's OBJ
servation, that never in the history
of the world did the Almighty Dollar
play less conspicuous part than in the
founding of Plymouth Colony"

The we'll known reputation of the

these many years has been forcibly

prices on sugar and corn was winner;
we sold all and added 500 pounds
more. There was a rush all day or as
long as the stock held out. The sale

tise in the PRESS because the people
all read the paper and are looking for

Panic in School Room.

A panic took place in an East Ward
school yesterday afternoon, the scholars
in room No. 8 rushing pell nell out of

they reached their homes. The panic
was caused by the gas catching fire at
the mixer. Every school should or
ganize and driil the pupils in the fire

are, Mr.. Egan. The nervous condi-
ton of many children, in fact older
persons, in Emporium, makes it mighty
easy to start a stampede. Is it to be

Everybody Works But Father.

Everybody works but Father
Is the popular song of the day.
Everybody works but Father
And he stauds around in the way;
Everybody works but father.
Why should the old man work,
Hasn't he done his duty,
When did the old man shirk.
Who made the home for mother,
Who kept the boys in school,
Who furnished all the sinues
Do you think the old man j. a fool:
Who watched the children growing,
From milking to manhoods state,
Laborlng hard for their comfort,
Hours both early and late.
Thinking only of their future.
Giving to them a good name
Knowing If they ever disgraced IT,.
They wouiu be only to blame
Fighting misfortune and sickness.
Keeping the wolf from the door,
Clothing and feeding the children,
How could he do any more
Let the young fellows get busy,
Follow the old mans trail.
Put on his old regimentals
And carry his old dinner pail
Everyone works but father,
Let the old man take his ease.
Give to him half of your earnings,
With the other half do as you please.
