Germany and the United States.

Germdny ana tne Oniteo StateSs
While the official relations between
the United States and Germany are
friendly, there appears to be no suf-
ficent reason for concluding that the
attitude Of Germany during or since
the Spanish American War has tended
to bring either the governments or the
two peoples closer together. So long
as the United states adheres TO the
national policy which we call the Mon
roe Doctrine. and there is no Ques-
tion Of international politics upon
which the American people are more
nearly a unit than in their determina-
tion to adhere to that policy, the re-
sentiment of Germany at what she con-
ceives to be an interference with her
legitimate rights of expansion and the
distrust Of Germany prevalent in Off
cial and unofficial circles in this coun-
try serve TO prevent the development
Of cordial relations and to align the
United States with those powers op-
posed to Germany Edwin Maxey

AZ MINERS FOUND ALIVE.

CHERRY, ILL.,, Nov. 20.-It is re-
ported that AZ men have been found
alive in the Cherry Mine.
J. w. Paul, of Pittsburg, Govern
ment inspector, came out of the st.
Paul mine at 2 p. M; and told the
newspaper men that AZ miners had
been found alive in the East Tun-
mel of the second.
Before $3.50, AZ men had been
taken out of the mine and to a
sleeping car to rest. The first two
brought up were Joseph Pigatti and
his brother, Salvatore. They told a
dramatic story of spending a week
buried under the earth without
realizing the passage of time. Jos.
Pigatti said the men had plenty of
food in their dinner buckets and
they did not suffer in that respect.
He did not know how they got
enough air.
Pigatti says when they first dis
covered that they were caught in the
mine they tried to dig their way out
William Clelland, an Englishman,
said Pigatti took charge of the party
and persuaded them to stop digging
He explained to them, they say, that
they were probably buried under
the earth and urged them not to
dig an opening for noxious gases
to come in.

Alcohol and alcoholism are two OF
the real and substantial enemies of
the moral, artistic and commercial
progress of the human race, accord
ing to the report of the United States
delegates to the twelfth Internation-
al Congress on Alcoholism made
public by the State Department re-
Gently. Twenty-Five governments
were represented at the Congress
held in London in July and the dele
gates of each concurred in the gen.
eral finding that alcoholism not only
was unnecessary to human life and
comfort but was inimical to both.
While the Congress urged the neces-
sity of imposing the most rigorous
restrictions on the sale and traffic
in alcoholic liquors, it regarded as
equally important the need of edu-
eating the younger generations to
a knowledge of what alcohol is and
it's effect upon the human system.
The American delegates sum up this
phase of the case by saying:
Increased teaching as to it's char
acter and influence should be pro-
vided, to conserve the industrial
efficiency in the commercial COM
petition of nations, as well as to
promote two of the chief objects of
government, the public health and
morals.'

CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING.

CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING
Following a custom honored by
time and tradition, President Taft
issued the usual Thanksgiving proc
lamation last week, calling upon the
people to set aside all manner OF
business on Thursday of this week
and spend the day in thankful rec
ognition of the goodness of the AL
mighty God who has signally blessed
this nation and its people during the
past twelve months.
Yes, there is room for thankful
ness this year, and an abundance of
it. One year ago, it was estimated
that there were at least two million
men out of work in this country, and
when the number of those depend
ent upon them for support is taken
into consideration the total of those
who suffered swells to alarming pro-
portions.
To-day, there is a happy contrast.
Business is growing by leaps and
bounds everywhere in the United
States. The farmers were blessed
with generous crops, except in local
tiles where the drouth interfered
with growth. The iron and steel
industries which are generally look
ed on as barometer of trade condi-
'tions have never been in better
shape than they are to-day, while
merchandise of all kinds is in great
demand, at good prices.
In spite Of the recent depression,
wages did not suffer, and while the
accumulation of coal stocks in an
ticipation of a strike in the spring,
hampered the coal mining industry
hereabouts during the summer, the
surplus has been worked off, and the
prospects for continued activity in
the anthracite fields could hardly be
brighter.
All these things, coupled with
many others that could be cited, af-
ford the best of reasons why Thanks.
giving day should be observed with
more than ordinary sincerity this
year.
Over in Great Britain, million
men and women are pauperized be.
cause of hard times, while here in
the United States we have peace
and plenty. Storms and the scourge
Of disease have played havoc in Other
parts of the world during the year
while Uncle Sans domains have
been singularly free from them ant
their awful consequences.
The records of the savings bank.
throughout the country show thai
wealth among the plain people 1!
on the increase, while their manner
of living is constantly improving.
With these facts In view and many
others that could be cited, surely 4
will be admitted that there is JUS
cause for thankfulness in this yea
of grace.
Yet, the poor will always be will
us. Some remain so because of theil
own improvidence, while others seen
to struggle in an endless fight agains
conditions which they cannot over
come. Whatever the cause of pov
erty may be, make 1t your business
If you are in a position to do so
to hunt up the homes of some o
these unfortunates and see that the!
have cause for rejoicing on Thanks
giving Day. ut is more blessed II
give than to receive" and he or sh'
who will give of their abundance II
the poor. without expecting anything
in return. will ind that they hav'
contributed more toward their owl

II they had planned to buy happi
ness with their gold. ~
