Dear Governor-We have read your

FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Thanksgiving Day In Old New Eng


land.
A charming description of a New
England Thanksgiving day fifty years
ago is given by Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe in one of her novels. OF all
days in the year IL was the one for
which a new dress was lmperatively
demanded New ways OF making
squash pies and ounce tarts were
proper subjects for conversation for
some days before the feast. For a
week before the date fixed the children
of each homestead were kept busy
chopping mice meat and pounding Gin
namon, allspice and cloves in a wood
en- mortar. slicing candied orange peel
and stoning raisins.
All the members OF the family came
home to eat their Thanksgiving din
ner. The courses consisted OF turkeys.
chickens and chicken pies. then plum
pudding and afterward pies. After
the dinner the patriarch OF the house
gave a recital OF all Gods mercies TO
them. speaking from the text, LET
children hear the mighty deeds which
God performed OF old" That there is
no present occasion for emulating their
fathers deeds is all the more reason
for observing Thanksgiving day-New

A Prohibitive Issue.

The Republican members Of the Jul
dietary Committee of the National
House of Representative by vote of
8 to 7 decided to adjourn to prevent
consideration of the Hepburn Dolliver
bill, which makes liquor an interstate
commerce subject to the laws of the
states into which such liquor is ship
ped. In many states local option pre-.
walls and majority of the counties
have voted for. no license, yet liquor
is shipped to those counties and thus
virtually nullifes the state law. 1t
would seem that the people of state
should be protected from the importa-
ton of what they consider dc leterious
to the health or morals of its citizens,
but it appears the state and the MAORI
ty of it's people are helpless without
federal law to that eff ct and this the
Republican members of the Committee
refused to consider.

Growing Indifference.

Thirty-one years ago, the country
was almost speechless with horror by
a railroad wreck on the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern railroad at Ashta-
bula, 0. A train went through a
bridge and lafgesnumber of fatilities
resulted. P p. Bliss, the noted evange-
list being among the victims. This
was about the first experience Ameri-
cans had with great railroad catastro-
Plies. 1t happened before the develop
ment of the speed mania, and, for that
matter, before the development of the
railroad business into anything like the
important industry it is today. Natural
ly, the "Asthabula disaster" became
almost a classic of the news. 1t was
read and talked about for months as
one of the most frighful events in the
worlds history.
But how is it now? A FIVE days ago.
we read without deep concern of a
frightful wreck in the Middle West.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1907-02-05

followed day or two afterward nv
another disaster of equal extent and
horror. Outside the immediate vicin-
ity in which these accidents happened
reports of them were read almost with
Indifference. Twenty-Five years apo
they would have filled the newspanprs
for days.
1t is not that human suffering is more
indifferently regarded nowadays, but
that through familiarity with frightful
railroad accidents we have come to Tool,
upon them as matter of course. We
are expecting them just about as often.
If we ourselves escape, we think we
are lucky, and beyond that there is only
passing sympathy for the victims IN
less we are personally connected with
them. We were Mortified when the San
Francisco earthquake occurred, con-
siderably interested when VALPARAISO
was shaken to the ground, and not par
ticularly concerned, comparatively.
over the fate of Kingston. Possibly in
this rushing age it will not DE long ere
we shall look on the downfall OF nations
and the obliteration of entire peoples
with equanimity.

The disastrous results ACCOMPANYING
the floods in the Ohio Valley have caus-
ed genuine concern in Washington. 1t
is recognized that the cutting of the
forests has had much to do with the an
nual recurrence of these floods, and a
careful study of conditions is being
made in the hope that some means NAV
be found to prevent them. To this end.
1t is probable that the principal engi-
neers IN the country may be asked to
submit ideas. While no steps have vet
been taken, 1t is understood that w.
e. McAdoo, of New York, who conceiv-
ed and superintendent the construction
OF the great tunnel under the Hudson
river. will be among those asked to
submit an opinion. 1t is likely that
Mr.. McAdoo will be able to make a
prompt report, for he is at present at
the Homestead Hotel in Hot Springs.
Va, where he is taking the mineral
baths in an effort to recover his health.
which is not altogether satisfactory.
He is reported to be making rapid
strides 10 a recovery, however, and it
is probable that he will stop here on
his way back to New York for con-
ference with the proper officials. The
immense loss in lives and money charge
able to these annual floods has stirred
the Administration to the necessity
or taking some decisive action.

What Does 1t Amount To?

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has just filed its report Of its in.
vestigation of the Standard Oil Com
pany. This report charges the com
pany with organizing fake rival con-
panies to deceive the public and destroy
competition. 1t charges that company
with bribing the employees of rival com
panies to obtain their secrets; and
with entering into Illegal agreements
with railroad companies for the trans
portation Of its own products. The re
port further charges the company with
tampering with state oil inspectors,
with influencing legislation, and with
evading laws enacted for the protection
of the people. Ali these things have
been charged before, and what does it
amount to?
What is needed now is not more
facts, brt the employment Of facts in
hand III such prosecution of the Stand
ard Off Company that its officers ard
agents will be punished for their wrong
doing. In the several states merry
5000 indictments, 500 in Ohio alone
have accumulated against the Oil trust
and its representatives, but as yet
there has not been a single conviction
Indeed, prosecutions begun have as
yet not been concluded owing to TIE
ability of the defendant company to
secure stays and effect delays, and it
is beginning to be question whether
or not the officers Of the law will ac-
complish anything at all. What is need
ed is legal ability to cope with the
counsel employed by the Standard OIL
company. Until this is had, very little
will be accomplished.

Thc limit OF Life.

Che most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race IS now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be
between so and 60: the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Natures best

The Call.

Strange how things happen in this
World. Eight years ago, Col. John T.
Blake figured largely in the dispatches
from South Africa, where he was fight
ing for the Beers against the British.
He was an American, a West Point
graduate, who left the military academy
Sith high honors. and cut a gallant
igure in the West and Southwest under
Miles and Custer. He it was who cap
tured Geronimo, while serving under
Miles. Later he resigned his commits
sion and travelled around the world,
finally landing in ZambeZi. Then came
the Boer war, which he entered with
so much zest that Blake's Irish brigade
became such terror to the British
that price was set upon his head.
After the war Blake returned to
America, and few days ago it was
noted in thu news dispatches that he
had died of asphyxiation in New York,
after having accidentally disconnected
the rubber tubing from a gas stove.
Blake's inglorious end is an illustra-
ton of the uncertainties of life. in
deadly peril times without number, he
went through several wars without
hurt and came home to be smothered
just about as dogs are killed in city
pound. Strange, is it not, the doom
which sometimes comes to those whose
logical fate is altogether different?
Strange and pitifuf Yet man never
has discounted the future, n, r will he
ever do so. When his call comes, he
answers; and that ends it.
