Fire broke out Friday afternoon in
the c. & o. carpenters shops at Clifton
Forge, about 2:30 o'clock, and before it
was got under control partly destroyed
the carpenter shops. The blacksmith
shop was totally destroyed. AT one
time it was thought the machine shops
and round-house would be destroyed,
but both were saved, through the hard
work of the fire department.. The fire
originated in the explosion of oil tank
in the carpenter shop. The loss is esti-
mated at about $1,000.

The Fifty Cent Dollar of To-day.

Running away from the fifty cent
dollar we seem to have gone headlong
into it. If William J. Bryan's financial
views of 1896 threatened to cut the pur-
chasing value of dollar down to fifty
cents the Republican policy since that
time has in reality accomplished the
cut. In 1896 the cost per pound of the
necessities of life was 49.1 per cent less
than it is today.
What has the country profted IN the
material sense by reason of this condi-
ton? A few perhaps have. profited.
The man who works for salary and
| whose income is not within his own
control is the greatest sufferer from this
situation, for, while his wages have
been increased they have not increased
in proportion to the increase in the cost
of living. In addition to the foregoing,
the price of fuel has materially increas-
ed. Oil has gone up. Rents are much
higher. The dollar Of 1909lwilI not go
more than half as far as did the dollar
of 1896, so that out of the country's
prosperity the wage Garner has not
benefited to the extent he should, his
condition, if no worse, is no better than
it was decade ago, whereas it should
have materially improved. If Mr..
Taft in his tour of defence of the tariff
bill can successfully explain to the peo-
pie way around this condition of af-
fairs his time will not be wasted. Is a
fifty cent dollar the total benefit of
twelve years of Republican admins

 WHY ALL REJOICE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

to ones country, does not exclude the sense of justice and good will
 toward other peoples and races. As | patriots, therefore, in this sense, we
 may rejoice in the growth and pro-
 gress our nation is making in popu- ! lation and wealth and tack a just
 pride in the standing America has
 attained as great world power. We
 have reason also to be thankful that
 the past year has seen the clements
 of greatness and her prestige undi-
 unfinished by any act of oppression,
 self seeking or selfish aggression. We
 have added to the number of our
 super-dreadnaughts, to be sure, but
 we still lead in the cause of peace
 and the arbitration of national diff
 ferenees by the Hague tribunal still
 finds in our government one of it's
 most earnest advocates. Peace and
 tranquility at home, the good will and
 friendship of other nations and the
 absence of international disputes mark
 the year.
 The harvest has been generous and our granaries are full to overhowing. The financial depression of 1908 has been raised and the nation is nov ing on with courage and hope to new industrial triumphs. Labor is em- ployed, capital is seeking investment, and the energies of our people have turned afresh 70 the creation of new sources of wealth and the develop ment of those already evisting Wrongs are still perpetrated and in equalities in opportunity have not all been removed, but who can deny that real progress towards industrial liberty and a more just relation be- tween labor and capital is being madel To affirm the contrary is to close our eyes to the vision of the present and to be deaf to the proph- etie, voices which proclaim the com ing of the millennial day when uni versal industrial peace and justice shall reign triumphant not only in this land but in all the earth.
 Lastly, I note the spiritual aetiv- ity of the nation. Reforms of all kinds find earnest, if not always wise, advocates, and the suppression of the grosser forms of vice is being ae- eomplished to some extent and in many places. The church spire still points the way heavenward in every hamlet and the influence of the Christian church is as strong among the body of our people as at any time in our recent history. In the enjoy ment of peace and tranquility of in- ereasing opportunities for material, ed ueational and social improvement, in the realization of our unity as a people, and of our progress towards a higher citizenship; in the inspira- tiOn of the intellectual and spiritual activity of our times, there is oeeas- ion today for the people of this fav- Ored land to proclaim their belief that above the power, ithe skill and energy of man, a divinity is ruling, and to publicly acknowledge, with praise and thanksgiving, that this divinity has watched over and di- reeted the course of our history, and with loving care is now directing our steps into the paths of peace, pros perity and happiness.

OONSI0OI SlOdu ue1NeIeu 1Hduhs- giving address abounding in patriotic
 thoughts and optimistic deductions this morning in the Trinity Episcopal church at the special services held at 10 o'clock, says the Phoenix Ga zette.
 The church was decorated with products symbolic of the harvest season, the rostrum being especially pretty with vases of ehrysanthe- nuns, palms, potted plants and a mound composed of pumpkins, fruits and vegetables.
 On the altar was an immense elus- ter of American beauty roses, their rich hue in fitting contrast to the dark velvet of the altar cloth.
 The choir, composed of Mrs. Lee craft, soprano; Mrs. Jessop, eontralto; Paul Ingles, tenor; and John Arm strong, baritone, rendered the follow ing musical numbers under the diree- tion of Mrs. Deity: Organ, "Adagio non Troppo," Charles E. Stephens; Festival Te Deum," Dudley Buck; offertory, Thanksgiving anthem, "The Lord Is My Strength" Bruce Steane; postlude, "Festival March," Arthur Foote.
 Dr. Foss spoke on 'FWhy We Should Give Thanks As a Territory and a City," and his remarks clearly demon strated that Arizona and the city of truly have much for which to be thankful.
 Governor Sloan's speech was deliv- cred in the chief exeeutive's simple, earnest way, and was impressive. His subject was "EWhy We Should Be Thankful As a Nation,'' and he spoke as follows:
 The Governors Speech.
 At the request of my friend the rec tor of this parish, I shall attempt to state some reasons for thanksgiving l on the part of the nation. In doing so must necessarily be brief and 1 dwell particularly upon those which are not common to the nations gen orally, but which especially apply | to us.
 The world has enjoyed eompara- tive peace during the year. Except ! in Morocco and the Central American l states there has been no important I conflict of arms. The world also has had no such overwhelming disaster ] ike that which visited Italy last year. Famine, always present in the world, | has not, as in former years, laid waste states or provinces, nor has my great seourge of disease overrun he earth. America, with the rest of he world, should rejoice in the good fortune which attended the labor, oil, thought and effort of the peo- Dle of other lands and elimes. We should thank the common father If us all for the providence which las blessed his people throughout he earth.
 Notwithstanding the efforts of our iocialistie friends to deery the senti- nent as a remnant left over from a age of strife and warfare, patriotism is not yet obsolete. Thank iod, it still exists, as vital as ever, hough with the widening of the sym ,athies of man its character has hanged. In its highest manifestation oday it is like the devotion of a nan to his family. It may exist long with the love of one's neigh ,Or. Patriotism, defined as devotion
