LET US GIVE THANKS.

Once more the season is upon US
when according to time-honored
custom. the people of the United States
Will lay aside business cares and many
will snend a few hours in contempla-
ton of the lnercics of Providence,
grateful for blessings bestowed upon
them individually, or upon the com"
munitles, or the nation. of which they
are q part.
1t is a custom that has come down
from the Pilgrims. 1t dates back to
the time Of the very birth of the ma
ton. After the terrible winter, 1920
81, when half the number OF the set
tiers who had landed at Plymouth died
of cold, poor food and other hardships,
ehe survivors planted their garden seed
and We're blessed With an abundant
harvest. When this was gathered IN.
they decided to celebrate the event by
observing a Thanksgiving week. To
the Pilgrims this was no empty cere-
mony. Their escape from Old World
tyranny; their preservation from death
md destruction the prospect of liberty
OF conscience, and the well filed store
house against the coming winter-all
was TO them, with their implicit faith,
subject OF gratitude and joy.
The first Thanksgiving feast, or
feasts, must have been a wonderful af-
fair. 1t was made an occasion of good
will between the two rnces for the Pill
grims invited the Indians to partake
OF their hospitality. The latter went
cut in the woods and procured large
number OF wild turkeys and contributed
these to the feast, and the birds were
pronounced delicious.
Tor entertainment The men went
through q series of military maneuvers
and demonstrated to the indian friends
how they could shoot, and dcnolsll
adefenses. These exercises impressed
the Indians. TO them it must have
been a striking picture TO sec these
white men going through military
PAGES, brandishng swords and play
ing war.
1t was in every respect wonderful
Thanksgiving. 1t was one OF the first
SlepS III tHe WestWafu iHdEGil OIL ClFlil-f
zation on this Continents march that
has been marked all along the route
by periods of toll, deprivation, lighting,
even starvation and death.
Looldng backward we find SO much
for which to render gratitude to the
Ruler of Mankind For an abundance Of
the necessares OF life; for spiritual
and temporal blessings; for past ex-
periences and future prospects, let us
give thanks. And the best way to ex-
press gratitude is by making others
happy. as far as it is in our power to (,
do so.

THE ENGLISH NOTTINGHAM.

The continued lack OF steady employ
ment among British workingmen has
led john Burns, the labor leader in that
country, to direct their attention to the
i fact that the drink evil Is responsible
for most of their actual suffering.
Statistics show that the average Eng
lishman spends each year from els to
F ELS, that is from SIS to 800 on drink. OF
Z this amount, Burns shows that the
shilltngs per week. This sum, S1.2O,
may look srnallto the British working
man, accustomed as he is to regard
beer as a necessity rather than a lux
ury. But Burns goes on to show that
for this amount a man could get, in
one of the mutual societies there after
twelve months qualification, los. a
week out-of-work pay los. sick bene-
fits, los. u week experimentation, and a
number OF other trade and similar ben
eiits. Suppose, he argued, that the
enormous amount of money wasted by
the workInen in the good times had
been devoted to insurance against I'M

perience much Of the trouble they at
present had, In the year 1867 the
Clyde produced $4,000 tons of the
cheapest, best, and fastest shipping in
the world. One British river produced
twice what Germany produced. Within
a month after the depression from
America had made itself felt on the
Clyde. however, unemployed meetings
were held, at which it was urged that
the grant to the Clyde should have
been G1eo0o Instead of e11,o0o. But,
+ in the preceding twelve months ga
100000 had been spent by the same
Clyde artisans in alcoholic liquor alone.
Burns said he would be false TO his
class and his duty if he did not tell
workingmen that. If they relied too
much on the State and the municipality
and too little on themselves It would
he bed for both them and the country.
No os.. at all familiar With the habits
of most of the British workingmen, will
be inclined to question the soundness of
3 the Ia Dor Leaders argument. The British
workman receives far higher wages
than any other European workmen re-
ceive. Yet he contrlves to throw away
the most of his advantage on beverages
that are not only of no real use TO him.
but in the vast majority of cases posi-
lively harmful The result is that the
underpaid but more frugal French and
German workmen manage to live ell
most as well as their English brethren

because we sent only one-half OF our

all our years of commercial intercourse
with China. and the observations ana
researches Of our diplomatists ut

\ ism is not In keeping with the modern
/ progressive spirit. His idea, undoubt-
! eddy, is that we need strong fleet in
4 the Pacific and another, and much
stronger, in the Atlantic, and then, in
addition, a large standing army. With
such aspirations the American citizens
4 who believe in better methods of ar
ranging International affairs than those
| of which armies and navies arc the
| representatives can have no sympathy.
But Mr.. Hobson is right in assuming
| that the Immediate future will concern
itself with tho Pacific countries The
observant students OF current events
all over the world believe this. Many
believe that only the powers with largo
fleets will be able to make themselves
heard in the coming competition for
, influence. The Hamburger Nachrich-
ten speaks of the Japanese American
peril" but not as being of so definite
character as to warrant an express
sion of opinion on the matter. Con-
gresham Hobson believes in the peril
mentioned, and, naturally, he sees In
point OF danger, the only means of
averting it. Others hold that II
only a fraction OF the money that Is
now spent on armies, navies, and arrna-
ments was spent for propagation of
the gospel of peace and arbitration,
there would soon be no more danger
of war in the world than there is of a
vendetta in a civilized community with
good laws and impartial courts.
However, we have not attained to that
happy condition. That stage of civil
ization is yet to be reached. And in
the meantime we do not know but that
the suggestion of Mr.. Hobson ought to
be carried out Why not leave the
fleet, or q large part of it, in the Pa
ciiic as a reminder to other powers
that our interests in that part or the
world are very large?
