Observing the custom that mas come
down to US through the generations of
Americans, wes this week, take due
consideration Of the one great annual
feast Of Thanksgiving. And it is well
that we do so even though the day and
its observance has lost much of its sac
redness and the simplicity that marked
it in former times. Indeed there is a
wholesomeness in the spirit of the day.
however little Of the old-time thought
Of thankfulness enters into our deyo-
ton. 1t is good for the soul to be re-
minded, If not oftener than once a year,
of the duty which is the obligation of
every being, and wholesome response
to that obligation is ennobling and pur-
flying. And it may be questioned if
the old puritanical observance might
not wisely be restored; if the old-fash-
ed obligation to give to the day and the
custom more serious thought might
not tend to uplift character and add to
the value Of life.
But whatever view we may have of
the forms and ceremonies Of Thanks
giving we owe duty at this time, and
to fail in its performance will make US
unworthy the great heritage of Ameri-
can citizenship. For cruly, no people,
not even The American people. have
ever had cause to be more thankful.
at peace with the world, we should be
grateful that il is 50. With the boon
Of good government at the command of
every citizen Of the state and of the
nation, there should be no hesitancy of
acknowledgment. And with national
prosperity, increased and increasing:
with our granaries filed and our larders
well stocked; with labor receiving rich
reward, and with peace and plenty ev-
erywhere, we should welcome the day
of Thanksgiving and devote at least
portion of it to contemplation of the
future, as well as to a review of the
past, not forgetting that there is
spiritual life that is more than mere ex-
istence.
We will not have performed our duty as
laymen, christians ard thankful reeipi-
ents Of the divine and world generous
bounty if we fail to lend succor and
comfort to those less fortunate, and
join in making their Thanksgiving
welcome recurrence of the blessed day
inherited from our forefathers.
With the fullness of good cheer and
acknowledged thankfulness the CENSOR
greets its readers at this annual festi-
val Of bounty bestowed

If we should wish for an example of
the effect of so-calIed modern culture

we can f>dit in the writings of Maurice

lying white and twisting on a couch,
crisping and uncrisplng her Ettle hands. E"
And it il TO such uucrisping twadde
that We are recommended by certain

the officers and employees of the com panies who may have been privy to the fraud. It would seem to me that an investigation of the frauds by congress at present, pending the probing by the treasury department and the department of justice, as proposed, might by giving immunity and otherwise, prove an embarrass- ment in securing conviction of the guilty parties.
 Maximum and Minimum Clause in
 Tariff Act.
 Two features of the new tariff act call for special reference. By virtue of the clause known as the "max- imum and minimum clause it is the duty of the executive to consider the laws and practices of other countries with reference to the importation in- to these countries of the products and merchandise of the United States, and if the executive finds such laws and practices not to be unduly dis criminatory against the United States the minimum duties provided in the bill are to go into force. Unless the president makes such a finding the maximum provided for in the bill, that is, an increase of 25 per cent ac valorem over the minimum duties, are to be in force. Fear has been expressed that. this power conferred and duly imposed on the executive is likely to lead to a tariff war. l beg to express the hope and belief that no such result need be antiei- pated.
 The discretion granted to the exc eutive by the terms "unduly dis criminatory" is wide. In order that the maximum duty shall be charged against the imports from a country it is necessary that he shall find on the part of that country not only dis criminations in its laws or its prae- tices under them against the trade of the United States but that the dis criminations found shall be undue; that is, without good and fair reason. conceive that this power was re- posed in the president with the hope that the maximum duties might nev- CT be applied in any ease but that the power to apply them would en- able the president and the state de- partment through friendly negoIia- tion to secure the elimination from the laws and the practice under them of any foreign country of that which is unduly discriminatory. No one is seeking a tariff war or a con dition in which the spirit of reralia- ton shall be aroused.
 Uses of the New Tariff Board.
 The new tariff law enables me to appoint a tariff board to assist me in connection with the department of state in the administration of the maximum and minimum clause of the act and also to assist officers Of the government in the administration
 of the entire law. An examination of the law and an understanding Of the nature of the facts which should be considered in discharging the fun ctions imposed upon the executive show that I have the power to direct the tariff board to make a eompara- tive glossary and encyclopedia of the terms used and articles embraced in the tariff law and to secure infOrma- tion as to the cost of production of such goods in this country and the cost of their production in foreign countries. I have therefore appoint ed tariff board consisting of three members and have directed them 10 perform all the duties above de-
