Thanksqivinq Day.

President Roosevelt breaks away
from the conventional even in the mat
ter of writing a Thanksgiving procla-
nation After remarking that "The
things Of the body are good. the things
of the intellect better. but best Of all
are the things OF the soul" and that
TN the nation, as in the individual. in
I e long run it is character that counts. %
so strong is the militant spirit within
him that he admonishes:
Let MS. therefore. as a people set
our faces rosolutely against evil and
with broad charity. with klndliness and
good will toward all men. but with un-
fiinching determination TO smite down
wrong, strive with all the strength
that is given for righteousness in pub
Tic and in private life"
Our strenuous President would not
have even the day annually set apart
for national giving of thanks to be OBJ
served merely in the spirit Of passivity
and perhaps he is ifght about the mat
ter. Mans life upon earth is n con
slant warfare. both of the spirit and
Of the flesh. We must ever be on the
elert to "Smite down wrong" and
often enough, 1t is the wrong that il
born in our own souls which cries aloud
for the shifting.

fragettes the advocates OF humanitarian legisla-
tion for children are not in the least dismayed.
The movement for the eradication Of child la
Dor is but a part of the general interest main
tanned in the rising generation. We care for
children in schools we educate them and if posi-
bic we should keep them from working in the
mills and factories The fact that children do
labor while adults remain idle, is travesty
our civilization an evil thing that shows some
thing wrong in our economic system. And il is
the system that is responsible for child labor
The evils Of child labor can be eradicated only
by legislation. The most humane man may en-
gage in manufacturing but If his competitors use
child labor he is forced to do likewise or to go out
of business In most OF the Northern States
there are laws regulating child labor that have
accomplished much good, but even these laws are
not what they should be.
When the laws became rigid in the New Eng
land manufacturing states, many capitalists
sought sites in the South on the ground that la
Dor was cheaper and children could be exploited
For while child labor may be permitted TO
flourish in the South, but it will not be employed
indefinitely. As manufacturing increases in the
South. the unions will get a grip on that nart Of
the country and they will begin an agitation for
laws regulating the work of children. They will
be supported by the, humanitarian spirit that
must develop and the desirable legislation will be
thus brought about. Il was this sort OF agitation
that led TO the aboshing Of tho convict labor sys-
TEN in Georgia. system cruel and barbarous that
existed for years.

vention Of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Asso-

And Man Released

The coroner's jury enpaneled last
night to hear the case of Mrs. VIII
heimina Ford. who was burned to
death at the home Of Jacob Larkin,
at No. POI South Van Buren street. ex-
onerated Larkin from all blame. lie
was later released by the police and
left the station with some friends.
1t was brought out at the hearing
that the victim was not Larkin's wife
but had been his housekeeper for ten
years Larkins said her name was
Wilhelmina Ford. and ;hat her father
was James Embert of Trainer, Pa.
There were only two witnesses. Lar
kin and Deputy Coroner Nichols. Lar.
kin testified that when he went home
on SATURDAY. night he lay down On a
couch in the kitchen smoking a sigar
He went to sleep ana was awakened
by the flames shooting up in his face.
He ran TO the front door, passed
around the house with the intention II
pulling O burning table from tie
kitchen through tho back door but tho
flames had gained too much hcadway.
FIREMAN DIDN'T SEE HER.
The witness said when he returned
TO the front Of the house he saw the
firemen. one of the latter had place
a ladder against the building and
climbed through second story VIM
dow. but afterward sold Larkin that
there was nobody on the upper floor Of
the house despite LarSin's declaration

suffocated bv the smoke. lie admitted
that he had been drinking on Satur-
day but said he knew what he was do.
ing and had had no quarrel with his
housekeeper.

the police notified him of the woman's
death and on going 10 the house he
found the body at the head Of the
stairs. The woman's room, he said
was not damaged by IRE and he ex.
pressed the opinion that if she had re-

Nationally, the personality of the candidates
has entered largely into the contest The final
questions is whether Judge Taft or Mr.. Bryan is
more suitable for President-whether the affairs
of the country will be better administered with
Mr.. Taft at the helm than with Mr.. Bryan ,as
President
Mr.. Taft has shown himself to be broad and
high-minded and progressive. lie has declared
that the work for the uplifting of conditions be-
gun by President Roosevelt will be continued
that there will be no backward step.

TAFT. THE BIG FIGURE.

M R. TAFT will have no regrets for the cam
4 4 paign that he'has conducted. Unfamiliar
with the practical methods OF campaigning, Mr..
Taft was plunged into a kind OF conflict new 70
him. He had been removed in his career from the
active participation in politics. having devoted
himself to his duties as Judge and as an officer
OF administration But Mr.. Taft jumped into the
political contest and a campaign orator has
made most crcditable showing His record on
the stump comprises forty-one DAYS in which he
made AIS speeches.
Mr.. Taft has conducted his campaign upon a
high plane He has not even resortei 10 the arts
OF the adroit spellhindcr. His speeches have been
plain statements OF facts. He has believed that
the electorate of this country is intelligent and
contentious and he has made his appeal upon that
ground He has made profound impression
upon the country and his victory which now
seems assured will show that the people have
faken him at his word and rested their confidence
in him.
