THANKSGIVING.

N In obedience to the earnest en-
Z treaty of two proclamations, one pro.
ceeding from National and the other
from State authority, on Wednesday
I, last we resolved ourself into a COM
mittee of the whole, with Patriotism
In the chair, and Humility acting as
secretary, to deliberate over this
question of Thanksgiving: and after
some time, the committee arose, and
through the chairman reported the
following for our guidance on the
+. morrow:
The day is not set apart from 9TH
ers merely to preserve meaningless
custom. 1t is not ordained just to
furnish an opportunity to rest from
ordinary labor. 1t is not distinguished
from other days in order that the
appetite may be satisfied at bountl-
fully laden tables.
IT. is put above all other days of the
year because we need one day upon
turn thanks and express it's gratitude
to Almighty God for His goodness and
mercy to us as individuals, and to the
country of which we are citizens, and
to the world of which we are a part.
We ought to be thankful because
we are living in peace and harmony
with the other governments of the
earth.
Thankful because our harvests
have been abundant, our people prof
itably employed, our homes filled with
plenty and our lives full of happiness.
III Thankful because every good cause
Is making Roadway, virtue getting a
better grip on vice, right strengthen
Ing its hold on wrong, righteousness
winning greater victories over un-
righteousness.
Thankful because the government
is more active and efficient than ever
before in exposing and furnishing the
lwrongdoer whether in high station or
low station, whether rich or poor, and
thus we know that our civilization is
advancing, not declining.
. Thankful because the public con-
science has been awakened and there
Is sweeping over the land an imperi-
Gus demand for honesty, for sobriety,
for strict obedience to and enforce
ment of the law, for the best ideals in
private life and the most scrupulous
fidelity in official place.
We adopted the report of the COM
mittee by unanimous vote, and sought
to carry out its precepts as best we
could on Thursday; and as being a
good reminder for all days in the
year, we publish the report in full as
above

Play Day. Lcum

Den, Norway, Switzerland, Spain and
Portugal,
Shortly after Kubeliks first Amer
lean tour, occurred the elimination of
his romance-one of the prettiest in
the annals of love. He was married
to the beautiful Countess OzakySzell,
scion of one Of the oldest families of
the Hungarian nobility. Thus the boy
born in peasants hut, became the
master Of an ancient castle and wide
spreading estate. Kubelik's subse-
quent domestic life has been as idy1-
lie as its beginning was romantic.
Four daughters have been born to the
couple, the first two twins. Mrs.
kubelik will accompany her husband
on his present American tour which
began Sunday evening, November 10,
at the mammoth Hippodrome, New
York, and lasts until May, 1908, in
Guiding all the prominent cities in the
United States and Canada, also the
cities of Mexico and Havana

NO WAGE REDUCTIONS.

We certainly are In hearty accord
with the president and his declaration
against reductions in wages. The only
reason that can be assigned by any
employer for reducing the wages of
his employees is to enable him to meet
the competition of other employers in
the same line. If he succeeds in get
ting reduction his competitors will
undertake the same course and he is
then no better off from a competitive
standpoint than before the reduction
took place, while the employe is made
to suffer. This process can be re-
peated until there is neither living
wage for the worker nor profit for the
employer. With this goes inevitably
a reduction in the standard Of living
not for the worker only, but within
tile entire society, carrying with it In
dustrial social, intellectual, physical,
and moral degeneration. We would
desire to bring specifically to the at.
tention in as forcible manner as we
may the following quotation from the
report submitted to the Boston con-
vention and quoted in this report:
IF labor shall resist all attempts at
reduction in wage, some battles may
be lost: but these would be reduced
to a minimum in the same degree as
it is clearly understood that it is a
firm resolve that we would rather re-
sist and lose than not resist at. ALL"
We desire to repeal what this COM
mittee said on this subject at the
Minneapolis convention in addressing
itself to the class of employers who
yet persist in treating labor power as
commodity instead of an attribute
of life. make your future profits
out Of something else than my flesh
and blood. I am going at least to
keep what I have got and to get as
much more as can. Reckon it, then,
as fixed factor in your business cal
culation that labor's share in the joint
product shall never more be scaled

OUR BANKING SYSTEM.

AS an humble contribution to the
understanding Of our financial diff
culties, and the problem facing the
banks and the country today, it may
be we'll to understand, as throwing
some light upon the possible solution
OF the problem that the banking sys-
tenn of the United States today is a
system of credit and gold, silver and
note currency never represented it's
actual wealth but were used only in
exchanging the products of labor.
Depositors in all the banks Of
1 America today have 20 their credit
twelve billion dollars. The total
value of all the gold, silver and note
currency Of America today is three
billion dollars. The difference of
nine billion dollars is represented and
secured by real estate, factories, farm
products and other reproductive in
vestments
T. Measured by their earning value.
those nine billion worth of assets
held by the banks are about eighteen
billion dollars. SO that it will be very
& evident that the wealth and solvency
OF the banks is not represented by
the cash and currency they hold, but
by the assets in their possession that
have a reproductive character. Money
sis not actual wealth, it is only the
machinery for creating and acquiring
wealth. Modern business and mod.
Eern banking understand this we'll
enough, and banks always hold
enough coin and currency in reserve
TO meet all ordinary demands that
can be made upon them.
And the banks today are holdine
Just as much Of this three billions Of
Agold and currency as they held be.

social iniquity, for which all are re-
sponsible who don't protest against it.

PAPER TRUST MONOPOLY.

Another trust requiring immediate
regulation and restraint by the au-
thorities is the Paper Trust"
The people have right to demand
that the paper manufacturers Who in.
duced congress to protect them
against foreign competition, shall pro-
vide for the demands OF consumers In
this country at prices that are not
indicative of oppressive combination.
No other trust has gone to such
extremes in watering securities as
this combination, and whatever may
be the views upon the question of
tariff, there can be but one sentiment.
upon the point, that when the privi-
loges and protection afforded by the
tariff are abused by it's beneficiaries
to create prohibitory prices, and men,
ace the country by oppressive combi-
nations in restraint of trade, the
tariff should be entirely removed.
This Trust is selling it's product
abroad at prices that compete with
Canada, Norway, Great Britain and
Germany, while the price at home IS
so high that the Canadian mills can
and do pay duty of $500 per ton
and still make a profit in the Amer
lean market.
Yet this trust has steadily ad-
vanced prices. The labor employed
In the mills is not the beneficiary of
those oppressive advances that have
been made in paper prices. Not one
twentieth of the advance in paper
prices goes to labor.
Apart from consideration of ques.
lions that relate to oppressive COM
bination, there is larger view of the
situation which should appeal to the
responsible heads of government.
Within the last twenty years this ma
ton has turned from books to period
icals. 1t has fallen to the bottom of
the list Of nations in the number OF
books published per million popula-
ton. But it publishes 60 per cent of
all the periodicals on the globe. The
printing business represents an an
nual product of half billion dollars
and ranks seventh in the manufacture
ing industries. 1t has a larger mum.

ton. It is especially helpful to good
government in that it promotes intel
ligence, uplifts the individual and
raises the standard of citizenship.
If the combination of paper makers
can succeed in its aims, it will stop
cheap books and cheap newspapers.
It will tax intelligence, because the.
newspapers and magazines are the
peoples school and their library. All
taxes upon paper are taxes upon read
irg, upon knowledge, upon the dis
semination of information. Under
any government such tax would be
oppressive and proscriptive. In
government based, as our is, upon the
Intelligence and resultant virtue of
the people, It is anomalous and mon
strous. To make newspapers arti-
ficially dear Is wantonly to restrict
the number Of readers and so in
crease the sum Of ignorance. When
this is done or proposed simply to add
tr the profits of a monopoly, the in

ADJUSTMENTS.

In '"The Three OF U.s. which Mr..
Walter N. Lawrence will present at
the Lyceum. December 9Th and 7th, we
are to see real, genuine mining play
with quite all the usual exaggetation
Of such plays left out. No swagger-
ing cowboys, no gun shooting, whis-
key drinking or other, extravagances,
such as are 50 often depicted in the
frontier and mining camp dramas. In
1.-The Three Of U.s." we see such home
scenes as in many domestic plays. But
in this play there is added freshness
and originality and it is acted by
company that brings out all it's strik-
ing qualities. For 227 nights "The
Three of Us" filed the Madison Square
Theatre, New York, with delighted,
enthusiastic throngs. There is no
doubt but it is g. great play, realistic
and brim full of human interest, and
last year it was the most talked Of
season.
The last scene Of "Caught in the
RAIN" William Golfers new farce
which comes to the Lyceum on De-
cemDer 2nd and 3rd, makes one think
of Remington picture minus the In
dian. This scene shows us the recep-
ton hall in. q hunting; and fishing
club in the Rockies with a splendid
view of Pixies Peak I'M the distance.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.

Due to the Use of Hyomei. Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.
There has been a marked falling off
OF sales of catarrh cures in the local
stores the past year. Medicines which
We're formerly purchased in gross lots
are now seldom called for, and the
druggist rarely buys more than a
dozen at time.
Hyomei is a notable exception to
this decrease il sales. 1t is, in fact,
largely responsible for the lessened
sales of catarrh medicines, as it has
cured SO many people of catarrhal
troubles that naturally there is less
call for remedies for thai disease.
There is no disageeable stomach

through neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every Hyomei outfit. G.

antee that the money will be refunded

The board unanimously voted to adopt
the above and incorporate it in the rec
ords, and the aldermen expressed their ap-
probation Of the generous gift.
Judge Emery also called the attention of
the board to the vacancy in the board of
library trustees caused by the death of
Chief Justice Wiswell The trustees be-
lieved that the board should be nom
partisan, also that it should not be COM
posed entirely of lawyers, and recon-
mended the election of Arthur W. Greedy.
The aldermen accepted the recommends
tion and elected Mr.. Greedy. The board
OF trustees is now as follows: l.. A. En-
cry, chairman; John A. Peters, A. w.
King, 4. e. Brady and Arthur W. Greedy.
Judge Emery spoke of the plan the Ii
brary trustees had been considering of ex-
tending the benefits of the library to the
OUTLYING districts of the city by the circu-
lating library system. 1t had been found
impossible to make satisfactory arrange
ments by correspondence, and it was now
proposed early in the spring to visit the
different localities and arrange for the Ii
brary. The idea is to find some suita BILE
person in each of several districts-say
Reeds Brook, North, Ellsworth, West
Ellsworth and Bayside will act as
librarian. A box of % or so books will be
sent to each district to be changed for an
other lot once a month. Judge Emery
said the State librarian had intimated
that he would take care of one district.
