Educational Advantages
in This Country
Greatest.

William Jennings Bryan, twice
candidate for President of the
United States, is the author of a
Thanksgiving message in the Circle
Magazine for November, and is en-
titled, "Why We Ought to Be
Thankful" IN part, it is as follows:
What have we to be thankful for? For
health? All do lot enjoy this blessing
let those be thankful who. by inherit
ance or by their own care, have escaped
a chronic or constitutional disease. For
friends? No one need be without these.
for nothing is easier 10 secure. No one
is so humble or obscure that he can
not attach TO himself a circle IF friends
If he will but be a friend TO others.
Is it for happiness that we should be
thankful? That is largely in our own
keeping Death may saddeu for a time;
sickness may discourage; CaiamiUes
nay cripple; misfortunes may over
whelm one; but stilI it may be asserted
that whether ones life IS happy or not
depends more upon the man within
than upon the circumstances without.
With some. grinding poverty imparts 20
life a gloom that can not be entirely
dispelled, but It is scarcely more of d
bar to happiness than idleEess. Between
the two extremes is the great middle
class, whose members laDo- with hope,
feed themselves with food convenient
TO them, and escape alike the despair
of the destitute and the ennui that fol-
lows in the waKe Of luxury.
Causes Of Thanksgiving.
But let us turn to those causes of
thanksgiving which we share in COM
mon. Each individual must decide for
himself whether he is more or less for
tunate than those about him, and
whether his good fortune or misfortune
is due to himself alone CT to others,
but there are benefits which have come
TO all the members Of this generation
which are worthy TO be enumerated.
The present generation is blest be-
yond any preceding one; the con-
veniences Of life contribute, as never
before, to health. comfort, and progress.
But while all now living enjoy ad-
vantages denied to preceding genera
tons, those who live in the United
States have additional reasons for
thanksgiving-rea which should
make them more grateful than any
other people on earth
First among these special advan-
tages may be mentioned our edUca-
tiOnal system By the wisdom Of our
forefathers, provision was made Tor
the teaching Of every child born in our
country.

The Four Fundamental
Thanksgiving Reasons
Educational system.
Development of industries.
Our form of Self-govenment
Our free and Christian religion.

One has only TO compare the mentsl
development Of our people with 'hat
OF many of the peoples OF Europe and
all of the peoples of Asia and Africa to
appreciate the. intellectual superiority
It is an excellent preparation for
THANKSGIVING Day to travel through
other countries and compare the school
facilities with those Of our oWn-the
millions of children yellow, white.
brown, and black growing up with
no thought of bOoSs-with the children
of the United states, trOoping to
school, each assured Of an opportunity
10 pursue his studies as far as he
wills.
Industrial Development.
a second special advantage is found
in our industrial development. The
natural resources Of the country are
so diversified that one can consult his
own tastes in choosing a vocation We
have every variety of soil and climate
that the farmer could wish. The wheat
fields Of the North. the cotton fields
Of the South, and the corn belt be
tween the two and overlapping both
all these call for laborers, while the
norticuIturist has his choice between
the fruits Of the temperate zone ana
the fruits Of the tropics. SO varied
are the conditions that each farmer
can follow his preference ana trust
the natural rainfall or rely upon lrfl-
CATION.
If one has a bent for mining, he can
indulge il in the gold fields, the silver
lodes, the copper mines, the lead ana
zinc deposits. OF the colilerieS-
Our manufacturing represents every
Industry. and our internal trade Is so
enormous that full play is given TO the
commercial instinct. while mechanical
engineering is swing with the profess
siCnS in GttractiYeness-
Our form Of government gives us 4
third cause for special Thanksgiving. II
WAS fortunate that this experiment n.
seif-gOVernment vas reserved for ne"
continent and a new people Compan-
ionship in struggles and in dangers mad
given them practical lessons in the
study of the science Of government. and
made IL easy for them TO accept the
doctrine of equal rights.
Two Fundamental Principles.
In tho Declaration Of Independence
and in the Federal Constitution. which
gave legal expression to that decIara-
ton, two fundamental principles of gov
ernment were enunciated; AMI To these
two principles we are. largely indebted
for the success which we have achieved
in government, The first Is the right
Of the people to rule, and the second
the recognition OF the advantage Of
local government.

The Fashionable COlors for the Com
ing Winter.

"Blue will be inhigh favor this
fall and winter" writes Grace Mar
garet Gould, the fashion editor, in
the August number of the Woman's
Home Companion, land that certain
ly is good news, because blue is
pretty apt to be becoming to pretty
nearly everybody. Navy and royal
ion leaders. Copenhagen blue and
Natter blue, or old blue, are both
high-style shades.
MANY brown shades will also be
used-russet, HAVANA and the
leather shades. Browns showing a
coppery tinge will be modish, as well
as deep mahogany tones. In greens
we have the preference given to for
est greens, which is beautiful rich
leaf tint, not so yellow as olive, and
is much more becoming. It will he
much seen in the plain fabrics. The
bronze greens will also be worn. A
beautiful deep American Beauty rose
shade will be stamped the mode, and
many Bordeaux reds will be favored
Two grays will be especially fashion
able-the gray we see insilver, and
darker mouse shade. The ten
dency, however, is toward dark
shades. Fabrics show indeterminate
effects, and beautiful minglings of
soft, dull colors. Black will make
itself conspicuous in both the new
fabrics and the new trimmings"

Endorses Senator Cook.

Ex-senator A. B. Cook, of Shiawas-
see county, is announcing himself a
candidate for nomination as delegate
to the state constitutional convention
asserts that he believes in the prin-
ciples of direct legislation, commonly
alluded to as the initiative and refer
endum.
Ex-senator Cook made a good rec
ord as a member of the state senate,
and there is no brand of machine
ownership on him. He is the son of
Professor A. j. Cook, one of the
early and most famous professors of
the State Agricultural college. He
has made a success of farming, and
is one of the most progressive of the
younger generation of agriculturists
in the state. We think that, among
those who have been suggested as
candidates from Shiawassee county,
he is perhaps the best fitted for the
work to be done. He is satisfied with
the compensation and would feel that
the state is paying him for his SER
vices.
While We do not view with appre-
hension the Incorporation OF the prin-
ciples Of direct legislation in the new
constitution, as we believe that the
proper use of the principle would
tend greatly to purify the public SER
vice and bring about reforms quickly
yet we hope that the delegates to the
coming convention will not too siren
uously insist on their adoption by
the convention. "A new constitution
is very much needed, and we are
satisfied that one should be adopted
However, we very much fear that II
too many new ideas are incorporated
in the draft of the convention it will
be rejected by large number Of cit.
liens who have not yet come - ap
preciate fully the advantages to be
derived by the public from theil
adoption. A prejudice exists among
a certain class to the initiative ant
referendum prejudice wholly
without warrant as we believe-ye
it is to be counted with in the prepa
ration of the new constitution. From
the record of Ex-senator Cook as 6
member of the state senate for two
terms, we know that while he favors
the principles of the initiative and
referendum, he is a man who is mo-
so tenacious of his ideas as to insis
upon themstr enuously in the face o.
strong opposition. If he is nominal
ed and elected, we should look to hin
to be on the right side of most ques
lions, and in doing so he would bet
ter serve the public than by. insisting
upon the adoption of the direct legis
lation nciples.-Lansing Journal

DR.. JULIUS D. DREHER
IN FAR AWAY TAHITI.

Washington Cor. Columbia State. ,
Washington, Aug. l7.-Dr. Julius
D. Dreher, from over in the Dutch
Fork, former president Of Roanoke
college and brother Of Supt. Dreher
Of Columbia city schools, became in
terested about this time last year in
one Of these little affairs with which
Cupid is said to have to do. DR..
Dreher got an appointment as consul
to Tahiti, one Of the Society Islands.
He had never heard Of Tahiti until he
was rold that Uncle Sam would give
him job there. At first he was very
much indisposed to accept the place,
as much as he wanted a consularship,
because it was at such a far away
place at the end Of the world; he be-
gan to read some literature on the
subject and finally came to the con-
clusion that Tahiti, after all, was
delightful place. With enthusiasm he
took his bride and set sail for his new
home. Before going, however, he sent
around to his friends lot of little
announcement cards, inviting them all
to visit him and his bride in Tahiti.
Well now, "Consul Julius D. Dre-
her of Tahiti' is interested in moth
er Of pearl shells and he writes here
to the bureau Of manufactures, which
issues a daily consular report, what
he thinks on this interesting subject.
Consul Dreher reports that the
price Of mother-of- -jearl shell remails
low because buttons made Of the
darkedged variety produced in the
Society Islands are not fashionable.
Although the present price Of shell
in Papeete, $4OO to $500 per metric
ton, is less than one-half the price
which such shell commanded in Lon
don four years ago, the quantity now
on that market is about 400 tons. The
low price Of shell affects not only
the prosperity Of the Tuamotu Is
lands, but also the business Of Tahiti
and, to a less extent, Of other is
lands. Owing to the continued de-
preston of the shell industry the ex-
port duty of $28.95 per metric ton
(2,2O4.6 pounds) was reduced in June,
1906, to $11.5S ton. A duty Of ST.
72 a ton is also levied on all she'll
brought to Papeete for shipment
abroad, this being the only port for
such shipment. Zach MeGhee.
