THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving Is as old as the con- sciousness of man that there is a di- vince Providence, and the soul of man began to give thanks to God for all his mercies before 1t had arisen to the point where the truth dawned upon it of the fatherhood of God and the broth erhood of man, or the more modern fact. that Trusts are the source of dis trust.
 It was the awakened consciousness of the human race which prompted the of the harvest season for praise and Thanksgiving, when there should be feast Instead of fast, and such mani festations of love as were expressed in family reunions. Thanksgiving day has been a noted day in our civil and religious history. and there is no req son why 1t should not continue to be.
 At first it was an intermittent festi- val observed by the community. The first Puritan November festival to which Massasoit and 100 of his braves were invited, was more polite than religious-a harmonizing feast between the new settlers and the aberigines- the fast day of the spring, when God was thanked that the perils of winter had been safely passed. being the most religious of the two. These two fes- tivaIs which come down to us from the pioneers were called by the un- godly satirists the days of St. Starve and St. Stuff, and while the day of St. Starve has been abandoned by the peo- ple of several states, and is likely to be by all. the day of St. Stuff. which was always marked by fine food and gay games, continues in popularity better observed in all it's parts than in its re- ligious exercises.
 The matter of giving thanks when most devout need not necessarily be a long service; and since a thankful heart is joyful heart. 1t is fine prelude to all the games and sports which follow. The old family reunion was splendid feature of 1t. and was much commoner and more of an event when families were larger and Jess separated and life was making a slower pace.
 We nevertheless cannot have just such day as the fathers did, for there wasn't a. coal trust to tell them short age of coal increases the price, or a milk trust to point out that short hay crop makes milk dearer, or a beef trust and shoe trust both charging each other as the cause of the higher price of shoes. or railroad rAonopoly to ex- press its fears that owing to a shori crop of wheat,s bread is going to bt dearer: or a sdSar trust to tell how pained it is to think tho price of SUI gar must be made higher; or stee trust to depiore greater costs of stee manufactures; or an express trust tC regret that parcels post isn't feasible If there had been. they might only have been able to have thanked God foi health and strength, that sunlight is still untaxed and matters in genera are no worse
 But, then. we are told that the high. est reach of the human. mind is simply a partaking of the diviner mind; anC that these things are so. all men ma! be devoutly thankful and becom' broader and better and thankfuller, an( to this end we should all endeavor t attain; and this seems to be what W, should struggle for.

RURAL CARRIERS
 WANT PENSIONS

Washington, September 12.-(Special)- Rural free delivery carriers are now planning for legislation granting them a pension after a certain number of years of service. The subject will be discussed at the forthcoming convention. It Is closely akin to the civil pension for de- partmental employees. which Congress fortunately has never looked favorably upon.
 The rural carriers now number about 4,0OO and hope to become strong enough one of these days to force recognition upon Congress.
 The Taft commission will, of course, make recommendations one of these days for downward revision of the tariff. It could do nothing else.
 Then the same old thing will happen if Congress Is controlled by republicans. If the present leaders have passed away there will be another Aldrich and an- other Cannon to take their places.
 The republican party has had it's chance to reduce the tariff.

 FOR INCOME TAX

Washington September 12-(Special.)- The political programme formulated by the democratic conference at Saratoga IS already attracting much attention.
 Senator Taylor of Tennessee, who Is Tn Washington, after six weeks on the lec- tu1e platform in the west and south, de- clared that the conferences indorsement of the income tav was highly significant and important 'The income tax will be defeated by the states,' he said. unless there is vigorous, affirmative, deter mined effort made to secure it's adoption. This New York move looks like the first real step to organize a solid backing TOT t. Twelve states in opposition will defeat the measure, I assume New England IS to be counted against 1t in the beginning.
 Senator Taylor expressed the opinion that tho income tax issue will in the near future become one of the sharp and press ing ones before the country. and he was gra;lfied that the democracy of the most conservative state would have in- dorsed the issue.
 '.I dort expect to see the republicans in any state come out openly against the proposal" he said. but that does not mean that it will be without strong and effective opposition. It presents an issue on which the democrats have every

Prince Roland Bona parte, president of the Paris Geograph- ical society, believes that France is the logical arbiter. Speaking on this sub ject today the prince said:
 "Recitals are inconclusive. Both Cook and Peary should produce their proofs, maps and diaries. Until that is done the scientific world has right to enter tain what might be called scientific doubt This does not imply distrust of either man, but 1t Is proper that dem onstration should be given.
