demand for outgoing accommodations
is absolutely unprecedented. Twenty
five thousands foreigners returned TO
their homes last week. Fifty thousand,
according to a careful estimate, would
return this week If room could be
found for them on the great Atlantic
ferries. And the rush will be even
greater during the next two weeks.
Ninety per cent of the home-bound
travellers want steerage accommoda-
tions. They are men who have been
working in this country. who have
saved their wages and who want to
spend the Christmas holidays with
their cwn people Many of them. in

more than It will lose through the

thought that the United States profits
comparatively little in a material way

rope 1t is to southern Europe that

here as American laborers are accus-
toned to live. It has been said that
ten of these people will live for less
than the cost of the material wasted
by the average American family.
They spend. in fact. as little as they
can, being satisfied to wear their
clothing as long as it viii hang to-
gether to live in poor surroundings

to their own land for safe keeping.
The American merchant and manufac-
turer derives very little profit from
them.
It is true that the great enterprises
that have been carried on in the Unit
ed States recently, the railroad build
ing and similar work, have been made
possible, in large measure, by the for
eign lsborers, because of the famine in
the American labor market. 1t seems,
nevertheless. a pity that American
money cannot be kept in America. All

honest immigrants who desire TO make
their permanent homes here.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Another typical American holiday
has come. Thanksgiving day. 1t is a
holiday almost as old as the history of
white settlements in America. More
than a century before there were
thoughts of independence for the colo
nists, more than a hundred years be-
fore the great soldier who was to lead
the colonists in their fight for freedom
was born, Thanksgiving day was cele-
brated.
If the veil of the future could have
been lifted before the eyes of the
sturdy pioneers who celebrated the
first Thanksgiving day, if they could
have looked down the long corridor of
the years and seen the growth of the
mighty nation they founded, their
Thanksgiving day would have indeed
been day of giving thanks. But their
eyes could not penetrate the veil And
If a prophet had told them of the Won
ders the future held for the land for
which they sacrificed so much, they
would have laughed him to scorn.
The end of this century doubtless
holds wonders not dreamed of in the
beginning of the last. A prophet of to-
day who would tell US Of things that
viii actually come to pass, things to
be conceived in the brains of geniuses
unborn and developed by hands that
are yet to have being, We too. would
laugh. We. too, would tap our fore
nd no 10
~ at the poor, crack-brained fellow.
He would be Luckily if he escaped con-
finement in a retreat for the harmless
~ insane.
Thanksgiving day, as a holiday has
grown until the whole wide world
knows and honors it, for throughout
the world it is possible to gather few
Americans together in any given place.
And wherever Americans are gath
cred together they viii celebrate
Thanksgiving day. They may not have
turkey and plum pudding and other
things that are popularity supposed to
be necessary for a Thanksgiving feast.
but they viii bring to their meal.
however humble. the spirit of thank
fulness that is the really necessary
feature of the day.
After all, why shouldn't Americans
be thankful? We know times seem
hard occasionally. 1t is difficult to Sc
cure the necessaries Of life, to say
nothing of the luxuries. But we have
a great country, land where oppor-
tunities are offered to every man and
every woman to do his or her work
we'll We can be thankful for health,
when we have it. and when we have
it not we can be thankful that there is |
always hope for the future.
There is not a single human being
who. il he really wants to find a rea-
son for being thankful today cannot
find it without looking very far. Your
reason may not be "as deep as a well
or as wide as a barn door, but twill
serve. Find it and use il with all
your hearts and see If you don't feel
better

WHERE CONSCIENCE COST.

Charles G. Dawes, former controller
of the currency, referred, in a recent
article in a magazine, to an act of
splendi3 honesty performed by a man
whom he did not name. 1t has devel-
oped that the man to whom Mr.. Dawes
alluded was the late Charles z. Perk-
ms, the one-time president of the Chi
cage. Burlington & Quincy railroad
Mr. Perkins was a very wealthy man,
but he did not belong to the class Of
rich men who ind their chief pleasure
in adding to their riches.
At enc time in his life Mr.. Perkins
was a director in a national bank that
went into the hands of a receiver. His
holdings of stock were, to him, unim-
portant, for they amounted to only
$4,000 That may seem a good deal
of money to many people. Indeed, it
is a good deal of money, but to Mr..
Perkins it was comparatively nothing.
Under the national banking laws he
was responsible for twice the amount
Of the stock he held, or $4,000, in addi-
ton tc his investment
Nine men out of ten, perhaps a
larger proportion, whether rich or not.
would have settled up the $4,000 as
sessment and felt very virtuous. Not
so Mr.. Perkins. Out Of his own bank
account he paid more than 81 ,O00. 600
into the bank in order to prevent the
depositors from losing their money. He
was asked why he had taken the step.
and. after stipulating that his name
was not in any event to be used, he
said that. though he had been elected
a director of the bank without his
knowledge, he felt responsible to the
depositors. He added:
But the fact remains that I did al
low the use of my name as a director,
and thus may have influenced some
persons to become depositors. Because
of that possibility 1 determined to save
the dercsitors and other creditors from
loss"
No man deserves credit for being
honest, as The Herald has heretofore
had occasion to remark. But the ac-
ton of Mr.. Perkins went far beyond
the common notion of honesty. He
was morally as well as legally honest.
He could have saved his million, but,
according to his own idea of ethics, he
would have lost his own self-respect,
and without that his millions would
have been as ashes.
The Herald is glad to pay this tri-
butte to the memory of real man, a
man that is entitled to the honor and
the respect of all his fellows. If his
example were generally followed by
men of wealth-and it is too much TO
hope that it ever viii belt would not
be necessary for Mr.. Bryan or any,
body else to suggest that the govern
ment guarantee the depositors in ma
tiOnal banks against loss.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Your SONS probably please you as
well as you pleased your father.
If you don't look carefully after your
own affairs, who do you imagine will?
A good many people try to administer
forgiveness and punishment at the
same time.
About all some men get for their
efforts to be dignifed is a reputation
Of having the swelled head.
The greatest triumph for a boy is
the privilege Of being accepted as an
equal by boys somewhat older than
himself.
Don't begin to wonder how other
people can afford so many things that
you can't afford. That is big step in
the direction Of growing envious and
sour.
We have noticed that people who do
exactly as they please, whether their
friends like it or not, get along about
as we'll as those who are always trying
to please.-Atchison Globe.

Tobacco Smoke Poisonous.

It is often said that tobacco smoke
Is a powerful germicide. The COM
position Of tobacco smoke is complex
the principal constituents being oils Of
tarry nature. Nicotine itself is q
strong germicide, but the quantity Of
this poison in tobacco smoke is minute.
The oily matter which accumulates in
a tobacco pipe is highly poisonous, but
does not contain any appreciate guam
tity Of nicotine, the chief constituent
Of this residue being very poisonous
oil known as pyridine. Tobacco smoke
contains decided quantity of car
bon monoxide, which is a preservative
and which must possess germicidal
properties. One Of the principal con-
stituents accounting for the germicidal
properties of tobacco smoke is the DOW
erful antiseptic formaldehyde.- New

A Municipal Storm Signal,

Greater New York was recently
treated to an experience recalling the
old free and easy methods before city
government was systematized. For
days the refuge and garbage Of the
houses and shops in Manhattan bor-
0ugh were left in boxes, barrels and
sprawling heaps in the streets because
the drivers of the carts which should
remove the stuff refused to work. Ev-
erything goes into the city garbage
barrel, and it. being summer weather
the condition may be imagined. Mayor
and subordinates We're powerless, and
the board Of health finally took hold in
order to stave off an epidemic.
While this was called strike, it was
nothing short of a mutiny in corps Of
civil servants appointed and qualified
according to law to perform this neces-
sary duty. The grievance was a SUI
perintendent whom the drivers dis
liked. It is easy to foresee that when
all or the more important public utili-
ties in great city come under the con-
troll of the officials a general tie-up
may result. The entire corps Of en-
ployees, policemen, firemen, street
cleaners and operators Of transit roads,
may combine against a mayor or a par
ty or a department head. A great city
necessarily has an army Of employees
If the operators Of public utilities be
added to the corps Of municipal serv-
ants it would be impossible to supply
their places should they refuse to work.
So it may turn out that the "greater
city" will eventually become too big
to hold together, for concentration will
place the power in the hands of a mass
that cannot be coerced.

THE sPEA KER's MACE.
Origin Of the Emblem Of Authority
Used In Congress.

Origin Of the Emblem Of Authority
Used In Congress.
At the right of the speakers desk
In the hall Of the house Of represent
atives in the capitol at Washington
stands large cylindrical pedestal
made of highly polished green marble.
When the house is called to order
each day, the sergeant at arms or one
of his deputies places upon the pedes-
tai the mace, which is the symbol of
authority in the house. When the body
adjourns he removes it and keeps it in
safety until the house meets again.
This mace is of very ancient and
honorable origin. Under the old Ro-
man republic the magistrates passed
on foot from one place to another ad-
ministering justice, trying public Of
tenders and imposing penalties.
Each of these magistrates was at
tended by a small body Of men known
as lictors, whose duty it was to make
way for the officers Of the law, pre-
serve order, make arrests and inf1fct
punishment on condemned citizens
Each of these lictors carried with
him bunch of rods tied together
with thongs and having an ak bound
to the outside Of it. The thongs were
used for scourging and the ak for
beheading. Sentences imposed by the
magistrates were at once carried out.
Those bundles of rods were known as
fasces. When the Romans conquered
Britain the use of the fasces as a SYM
Dol was brought with them, and many
other Roman customs remained with
the British people.
While it was no longer used for in
f1icting punishment, it continued to be
used as symbol by the early English
magistrates, and when an officer ap-
peared carrying the fasces his au-
thority was Immediately accepted by
all. It was, in effect, his badge of
Office -".
The English form of the fasces was
slightly changed in that the Ak was
placed inside of the bundle of rods,
with the blade protruding from the
top.
The great councils of the early
Saxons gradually developed into one
general body, which in the fourteenth
century became known as the house
Of commons. In all these earlier coun-
ellis the use Of the fasces was con-
tinued, but it then came to be known
as the mace, which has remained as
the emblem Of legislative authority in
that body down to the present day.
The house Of representatives Of the
United States was modelled closely
after the house Of commons by the
trainers Of our constitution, and the
usage Of the mace was borrowed from
the English custom.
The first mace adopted by the house
was destroyed by fire when the Brit
ish burned the capitol in 1914. From
1914 until 1912 mace Of painted wood
did service, but in the latter year the
present mace was made after the model
of the original one.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Coal lii the Rockies.

The proposal to withdraw certain
government fuel lands from settlement.
together with the warnings from j. j.
Hill and others with regard to the limit
Of our natural resources, lends interest
to the work now in progress by the
government in the Rocky mountain
coal fields. Experts will investigate the
several fields and prepare information
for the use Of the officials and the pub
lie. A recent bulletin from the bureau
Of geological survey explains in part
the location Of the more important or
best developed fields.
The coal resources of Montana are
declared to be extensive, but the coal
varies in quality. The lower grades
have been but little prospected, and
the extent and value Of the fields are
not definitely known to the govern
ment. Wyoming will be investigated
by six different parties. The coal fields
of this state are of great extent and
value at the present time, and the adj
vent of new railways will hasten their
development. Wyoming's high grade
bituminous coal is considered the type
for the Rocky mountain region.
Although the coal fields Of Colorado
have been extensively developed, there
are many large areas Of coal deposits
but little known to the government.
High grade bituminous and anthracite
Goals are reported in Utah, where a de-
velopment may be expected in the near
future. The labors Of the explorers
will not extend farther than the obser-
walton Of regions where the coal beds
are visible, the object being to examine
all of the little known fields without
regard to their Importance at the pres
ent stage Of development.
