At the Trans-Misslssippi eon9ress
Hon. John +. Irish defended san Fran
cisco's good name against tho charges
Of graft on the relief fund that have
been made. Those charges have made
a deep impression on the public mind,
and everything possible should be done

Chronicle makes n very good sugges-
tlou. II SAYS 1T would take a little
money to print list OF all the contri-
buttons to the relief fund, but the
unhappy searchlight affair suggests
that i ought to be done. Until IL is
done there will be no assurance that
some OF the money has not gone as
tray, Just as many OF the articles IN
tended for hrs sufferers did before the
rclief committee was properly or
ganized." That IL not the suggestion
Of hostile or unfriendly paper but
OF paper whose every interest Is
identified with SAN Francisco's well
fare. It would do much to clear the
city's good name " It were adopted.

AGITATION IN ENGLAND.

AdvIces from London are to the ef-
feet that campaign il on IN Great
Britain for the abolition Of the House
of Lords. The adverse sentiment
against that body Is nothing new, but
II is now said that the opponents are
centralizing their forces for political
contest which VIII determine the fate
Of the upper division Of Parliament.
The plan Is 70 send to the lords one
popular bill after another, that they
are likely to reject. or mutilate. and
then, when the coup OF iniquity" IL
full. appeal to the country for some
measure against the upper chamber.
Several important bills are under
consideration. The education bin.
which was intended to place the
schools under popular control, is al
most certain 90 be defeated, because
the lords have mutiated It beyond the
possibility OF compromise. Another
bill has also been sent to the lords,
for the abolition of the so-called plural
voting system. under which some
property-holders have as many as
twenty votes In different constituent
cies Then there is the land tenure
bill, giving tenants some security
against the rapacity OF landlords and
right to suitable compensation for
improvements made with the tenants
labor and money. And there Is also
the trades dispute bill, which restores
the law to what II was until five years
ago, when the House OF Lords, aetlng
as a judicial tribunal. held trade
unions funds responsible for the loss
incurred by coal owners, owing TO a
strike organized by the union. on
these and other popular measures Il
is expected that the House OF Lords
will be shipwreoked.
Undoubtedly the prerogatives OF the
upper division Of the British parlia-
ment are too extensive for this age OF
popular sovereignty. Reforms are
needed. No body Of men should have
the power Of absolutely preventing
legislation demanded by q majority Of
the taxpayers after mature delibera-
ton. But the revolutionary agitation
for abolition is, nevertheless. nl-al-
vised. Even constitutional monarohies
need such a body to curb the impa-
tlence OF agitators and prevent hasty
legislation that may prove disastrous
to the people.

ACCEPTABLE THANKSGIVING

The first Thanksgiving day celebrat-
ed publicly by tho Pilgrim fathers OF
tho Plymouth colony, was an acknowl-
edgn1ent Of the goodness OF the Lord In
His dealings with them. It was en- ex-
preston OF gratitude for both temporal
and spiritual blessings. They set an
example 10 coming generations, show
ing what a proper celebration of that
day ought TO be.
From the records Il appears that the
Pilgrims, ten months after their land
ing. gathered In their FIRST harvest.
They had twenty acres OF corn and six
acres Of barley. The corn had yielded
abundantly, ana the barley crop was
good, but tho peas had failed. They
came up wen. and hlossomcd, but the
sun parched them IN the blossom,
After the crops were gathered the
Governor sent out four hunters. When
these returned with ducks, wild tur-
keys. ana vepson, the people were
called together for q public expression
Of gratitude in a day Of feasting ana
thanksgiving and a week OF rejoicing.
Nor did they feast In selhnhness. They
entertained ninety Indians and their
chief. Ana these guests were 50 pleased
with tho hospitality, that they went out
and killed ave deer which they brought
TO tho Governor, Thus good feelings
were promoted, while hearts were mt
"a up to God In praise and opened
vide in broihorly love TO follow-men'
That is the key note Of Thanksgiving
day.
Looking at the marvellous develop
ment OF this country since that hrst
Thanksgiving day in 1921 who can fall
10 feel the debt OF gratitude the Amer
lean people owe 10 Providence at this
time? The royal poet Of ancient Is
rael. realizing his obligations to Goa
for His tender mercles, asked "What
shaIl render unto the Lord for all
his benefits toward me?' That Is
question every American citizen at TINS
time can properly put. And there Is
hut one proper answer II VIII ofrer
10 thee the sacrifice OF thanksgiving,
and viii call upon the name OF the
Lord" There Is no real thanksgiving
without sacrifice. In the old dispensa-
ton lambs, or other animals, wore
slain, or other life sustaining SUBJ
stances were brought to the House OF
the Lord The people we're taught the
great lesson that thanksgiving and
sacrifice are really inseparable' ana TINS
Is truth that remains for ever we
do no longer bring lambs to the altar
or wave loayes OF bread In the sacred
precincts, but We may supply the emp
~ coal bins OF some worthy family
of Gods children who are In need, or
give them some groceries. or some
clothing, or whatever is needed, or we
may visit those who have been called
upon TO mourn and sympathize with
them IN their afliction. That would
be thanksgiving.

THE LAW OF TITHING.

Iatter-day Saints who have faith
fuuy complied with the divine COM
mandments concerning the payment OF
tho voluntary donations generally
known rs tlthing, know from eSperi-
ence that obedience TO this law results IN
both Temporary and spiritual BLESSINGS
They have learnt that TO bring tho
required portion Of their substance TO
the Lords storehouse Is a privilege and
not burden, blessing aud not a dis
agreeable duty,
Tho law of tlthing is as old as revela-
lion Itself The offerings Of Abraham

pedltlon against Chedorlaomer and the
vow of Jacob, when n fugitive, prove

one OF the Institutions that remained
with ancient nations long after the
light az direct revelation had been eX-
ringuished IN their religious systems,
and therefore We find It In force in
some form or another. among Babylon
fans. Carthaginians, Egyptians, Ro-
mans, Greeks and others.
The Israelites were required, By the
law. 20 give to the Lord a tenth Of
their earnings, after the frst-fruits of
the orchards and fields as well ms the
locks and herds had been paid, This
WAS y recognition OF the fact that all
they had was the gift Of God, and the
proceeds were devoted 90 tho main

support OF those who gave an their
time and talents TO the public The
Ilevltes themselves paid tenth OF the
portion Of the general tIthiug that be-
louged 10 them. The law was universal.
Hebrew scholars tell us that the term
used 10 denote tlthlng Is derived from
word that also means 10 be rich"
Hence the number ten often stands
Tor abundance. ar completeness, as
when Jacob charges Laban with having
changed his wages "ten" times, mean

No two OF them are alike. South Caro-
lima permits no divorce at all. New

other states have several grounds for
divorce, while IN still others It can be
had for tho asking. Yet the laws In
the strictest states have been made
practically unavalling by the divorce

sprlnglleId Republlcan.

This movement for uniform divorce
laws began In the purpose greatly to
restrict the means of obtaining divorce.
IL the proposed bill should be accepted
by the more liberal divorce states
something would have been achieved
in that direction, yet not much. For
even the easy divorce states like the
Dakotas and Illinois now have statutes
nominally about as strict as proposed.
Mere incompatibIlity which used to
obtain as O cause IN Connecticut, Utah
and possibly elsewhere, is not now rec
ognized In any state, we believe. Thus
the extreme differences between the
states In respect to reputation for easily
or hardly obtained divorces. as between
South Dakota and Massachusetts,
grow mainly out Of differences of legal
administration instead OF differences In
legal provisions. And this matter OF
strict or loose application Of divorce
laws Is one which no amount Of uni
form legislation can deal with effective

a newspaper has no right to MAKE

hours and the create Gaze in 1t con

public to deal with. II is criticised on
every hand. II has to deal with all
cranks in a community, aud to do this
successfully requires judgment and
patience. It has power, and that
power, to the credit Of journalism is
nearly always wieldsd for the public
good. No question Of vissl concern
to tho people fails to- find a strong
support from the paper, and this too
without remuneration. The publisher
spends his money to further these
projects and the community never
gives thought to the matter OF cost
