Who ever got the spirit Of Thanks. giving on paper better than did Rev T. De Witt Talmadge, when he penned the following happy appreciation or the ThgnksgIylng dinner
 How well l remember that old Thanksgiving dinner! Father at one end mother at the other end, the chtl- dren between wondering if father will ever get done carving the turkey, Oh, that proud struttlng hero of the barn yard, upside down, his plumes gone and mlnus his goDbie. Stuffed with that which he can never digest, The day before at school he had learned that Greece was south of Turkey, but on the table we found that turkey was bounded by grease. The brown surface waited for the knife tN plunge asnlda the breastbone, and with knife shar- penod on the janbS Ot the fireplace, lay bare the folds Ul white meat.

The Hich Pumpkin pic.

An! on Thanksgiving day when from east and from west, From north and south come the pilgrim and guest When the rray-haired New Englander sees round his board The old broken links of affection re- stored. When the care wearicd man seeks his mother once more And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before, What moistens the lips and what brlghlens the eye2 What calls back the past like the ricn pumpkin pie?

A HIGH-MINDED APOLOGIST.

One of the biggest, juiciest and sourest lemons
we have seen handed out dished up to Richard
Webb and his Amador Ledger by the county grand
jury in its recent report county affairs. This is
the lemon
1--WE have had no complaint presented, nor do
we find any by inquiry, that requires our considera
ton and we take it as evidence of faithful and con-
scientous work in the various county departments"
And this in face of the fact that said Richard
Webb has been endeavoring to stir up stink re-
garding the administration of the county govern
ment 500. And the grand jury absolutely, de-
liberately ignored these grave" charges, and in
addition waited the Ledger the aforementioned

.GA[[ING[R PLEADS

Argues That Proposed Senate

GaIIinger Says That When Fleet Ar
rives War Vessels Will Outnumber
Merchant Marine Two to One-New
Bill Would Build Twenty Powerful
ships-Washingto News.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Speaking in
favor of the passage of the ocean mall
subsidy bill in the senate today, SEN
ator Gallinger reviewed conditions un-
der which the merchant marine of this
country is operating. He cited many
advantages he believed will accrue to
the commercial interests of the United
States if better mail facilities to South
American and other ports are estab-
lshed.
The bill raises no new issue. and in
trCduces no new principle" said CAL
linger. 1T leaves the existing pros
porous steamship services exactly as
they are now. without changing one
icta the tried and approved methods Of
The present law. 1t increases the COM
pensation on routes which sixteen
years of experience have conclusively
proved to be inadequate-long, costly
and important routes to South America
and the orient--routes where a lack OF
steamship service is the seVerest ana
our need of such service the most i'm
perative.'
Only eight of the fifteen ships that
were plying across the Pacific ocean
,ast March are left, he said. "Since
the shipping bill of the last congress
was defeated, almost half our feeble
American Pacific naval reserve has
disappeared" he added "and when Ad-
miral Evans steers up thru the golden
gate from the straits Of Magellan we
shall have a grotesque disproportion
in the Pacific Of two battleships to ev-
cry commercial vessel engaged in for
eigr trade, a sight Awhith has never
yet been seen beneath the sun" Move
than twenty new and powerful steam
ships available as auxiliaries of war
would be built by the influence of the
till if passed. he said The proposed
legislation would also, he said, help
break up the shipping trust in South
America.

Iowa Falls, Feb. 24.-Hi Aldrich, for

in the railway mail service between
Sioux City and Dubuque, has just been
able to turn the joke on bunch Of

his old friend Aldrich to in st in some
of the stock in abe new mining com

and took the superintendency Of the
new venture and continued his devel-
opment of the property. Mr.. Aldrich
became enthusiastic and told his
friends he had sure thing" They
naturally hooted the idea and more in
the spirit of joke than anything else,

at nominal figure, but continued to

ITALIAN BOMB OUTRAGE.
Music Store in New York Blown Uk
by Murde-ous Blackmailers.

New York, Feb. 24-An Italian bomb
explosion similar in character to many
which have taken place in this city
within year, occurred in Brooklyn
today, when Peter Locato's music store
in Morgan avenue was wrecked.
Locate had received many so-called
Black Hand letters, but having re-
fused to pay for immunity, his store
was first blown up last spring. In De-
cember last another bomb was left on
the stoop and the doors and windows
were demolished. Since then he has
received several letters demanding
money, but has ignored them, resulting
in third mysterious attack today.
Locate, his wife and three children,
who occupied rooms in the rear of the
store, escaped with slight injuries.
Immediately following the murder Of
iGirolano Celia, well known Italian
last night, today's crime is
regarded by the police as evidence that
the blackmailers and murderers whose
crimes have been aimed chiefly at
Italians, have been made bolder by the
continued inability of the police to de-
tect and punish them.

Assassination OF Father Helm
richs at Denver the Work OF
a Confessed Anarchist
VICTIM MAY BE cANoN'zED
Italian Who Came to America Two
Years Ago Stays Priest While Re-
eeivine the Sacrament-Has Been
Engaged in Teaching Anarchy-Has
No Regret for His Awful Crime.

Denver. Fep. 24.-In the twenty CEN
turies of the history Of the Cathohc
church, members of it's priesthood IN
this city declare there is no record OF
tragedy to parallel that of the killing
of Father Leo Heinrichs, while admin
istering sacrament to Giuseppe
Guarnaccio at the altar of st. Eliza
beth2's church yesterday nornlns.
Never before has servant OF the
church been summoned from the per-
formance of his duties in SO tragic
and dramatic a manner. This crime
will stand out as one of the most
fearful in the criminal records OF the
world, and it's perpetration will prob
ably result in the elevation Of Father
Leo to the position of martyr and
lead to his canonization as one of the
saints of the church in whose service
he fell while performing his duty.
Giuseppe Guarnaccio, the murderer,
talked freely in Jail concerning him
self and his act, for which he de-
clared he had no regret. He said he
was a native OF Sicily, and Sc years
of age. He is a shoemaker by trade.
He came to America two years ago
and has since been teaching anarchy,
working but little at his trade. He
lived before coming to Denver, In
Paterson, N. j., in the mill towns OF
Massachusetts, and in Chicago. He
came to Denver two weeks before
Christmas.
After examination Of the letters
found in the room which the slayer
of Father Leo had occupied in this
city, police officials concluded today
that 4hss was Angelo. Gabriels, a Sicil-
ian anarchist.
Denver, Col, Feb. 24.-Father Leo.
Heinrichs was shot and killed while
administering the sacrament at early
mass in ST Elizabeths Catholic church
in this city at 6 o'clock Sunday MORN
ing.
Kneeling at the altar rail between
two women, Alio Giuseppe pressed the
lnuzzle of a revolver against the body
of the priest, after receiving from him
the consecrated water and shot the
prelate thru the heart. Exclaiming
my God, my God" Father Leo fell
prone in front OF. the altar and died.
With scream, the assassin sprang
into the aisle and waving the smoking
pistol about his head dashed to the
church door. Then woman screamed
and the congregation became panic
stricken. Many women became hys-
terical Several men rushed to the aid
of the priest, and others started in pur-
suit of the murderer.
Patrolman Daniel Cronin overlook
the fleeing italian on the steps. Guis-
eppe attempted to shoot the policeman,
and was foiled and overpowered only
after a desperate fight, in which sew
eral men had come to the assistance of
the officer The murderer was hur-
riedly removed 10 the city Jail, and as
threats were made by men in the
crowd, Chief of Police Delaney called
out the reserve force of patrolmen, who
are being kept on guard day and
night.
