Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1906-11-29

OF course, we are all thankful
that we are alive, that we eat regu-
larly. that we still have our last
winters overcoat and manage to
rustic a sack of coal occasionally;
that the railroads are doing the big
gest business in their history, that
the trusts say this country is pros
porous, that Teddy still reigns,
that the reformers have not yet
given UP in DESPAIR, but continue
the fight to save us from ourselves,
and for a Job lot of similar bless
ings, more or less disguised. But
it has occurred to Maverick that
some individuals might have occa-
sion for thanksgiving not included
in this omnibus bill, some special
reason for attacking turkey and
pumpkin pic today with glad, JOY
Gus hearts. To get this information
officially and accurately, an army
of reporters were turned loose,
with instructions to get the facts,
without regard to cost, personal
danger, or the wishes of those in
terviewed. When any one declined
to talk for publication, one OF Nav
cricks' staff of mind readers was
dispatched to the insurgent, tc
wrcst from him his inncrmost
thoughts and expose them to the
gaze of the world. The following
reasons for thanksgiving and praise
can, therefore, be considered as
absolutely reliable.
]. H. Garrett talked too freely
he has so many things to make hin
feel gay and festive that he had te
be reminded that there were others
to be heard from and that he coule
not have all the space in the pape
for himself. Forced to confine him
self to the one paramount cause
he said: 81 have put out OF com
mission about car load OF knocker
and prophets of evil omen since
struck this town a few years ago
and I'll get the rest of them befor

my dear republican friends, Mcssr
Corkcr and Stimson fell outside II

and then tumbled into somcthii
better; something that can give Il
