 Dear Sirs-I want to write to tell you that I thank you for the turkey. I know that it will taste delicious. It is the largest turkey I ever saw. I hope you will have a turkey just as good as the one you gave us. I hope all the children will like 1t, and be thankful besides. I know I will be thankful, I hope we will have just as good a turkey as we have this year. We had Thanksgiving exercises in school this afternoon I wrote prin- cipally to thank you. This will be all for this time. Respectfully yours.

Tariff Taxes and Poverty.

Sixty thousand persons were
obliged to appeal to the charity or
ganizations of New York for the
necessaries of life, within the last
year, according to published statis-
tics. This is an increase of fifty per
cent. over the previous record and
a greater number than during any
previous similar period of time:
These applicants were not profit
gates or criminals, paying the pen
atty of vices or improvidence. That
sort don't go to organized charities
for relief, for the reason that they
know that there is method in such
bene6cences. The applicants re-
fe-red to were sober and indus.
trious men and women, willing and
able to work but unable to procure
employment.
OF course the same conditions
which exist in New York obtain in
other centres of population, and
aoout in the same ratio to popula
ton. In other words there are
probably nearly a million men and
women in this country of industrial
progress suffering from the want of
food and other necessaries OF life.
All this is ascribed to the high cost
of living. If meat and vegetables
were only half as expensive the
number of sufferers would be dimin-
ished, naturally. But there are
reasons for the high cost of living
and the reasons responsible for one
are the direct causes of the other.
They are twin iniquities and can't
be separated. The Republican party
is responsible for both.
Two years ago the president of
the American Manufacturers as.
sociation stated to congressional
committee that the Dingley tariff
robbed the industrial life of the
country OF million dollars a day
through excessive prices on pro-
ducts which it made possible. Since
that time President Taft has stated
that the Dingley rates were exces.
sive, burdensome and ought to be
reduced. But instead of fulfilling
the promises of Taft Congress has
greatly increased the tariff rates
and added to the vast total of the
robbery of the people. This sinister
service for the trusts has caused the
increase of the prices of food and
Clothing and multiplied the number
OF people dependent upon charity

WHITE SLAVE BILL PASSED.
Senate After HalfHour's COnsidera
alton Adopts House Measure.

The Bennett "white slave" bill
regulating the traffic in immoral
alien women was passed by the
Senate Friday practically in the
same fern as passed by the House.
Less than half all hours time
was devoted to consideration of the
measure in the Senate. When it
was called up by Senator Dillirg-
ham, Senator Money found fault
with one of the re-enactments of
the present immigration law. The
Mississippi Senator's objection was
to the fact that alien laborers af-
flicted with contagious diseases
were excluded. while professional
people and others were not. Mr..
Money took exception to this dis
elimination, but after saying that
he would introduce a resolution
looking to its correction, withdrew
all objection to The pending bill.
The bill amends the immigration
laws by excluding women who
come to the United States for i'm
moral purposes, persons who bring
in or attempt to bring in women
for such purposes. and those who
receive the proceeds ofprostitution.
The interstate feature of The House
measure providing heavy punish
ment for persons who assist any
person, whether alien or native
born, to so from one State to an
other for immoral purposes was
stricken out in the Senate. as the
same ground is covered in the Mann
bill, which also has passed the
HOUSE and which will soon be con-
sidered by the Senate.
Slight amendments affecting the
jurisdiction of Courts conducting
the trial of persons covered by the
bill were made. The effect of the
changes made in the House bill
will be to send the measure to con-
ference.

TANGLES FOR THE LEGISLATURE
Many New Laws Required Because
Amendments Affect Terms of Of.
flee Holders.

It is the opinion of many of the
state officials and Others at Harris
burg that the state legislators will
be compelled to straighten out the
many tangles that have resulted III
regard TO the terms of certain pub
lie officers in the cities, boroughs
and townships as result of The
amendments made to the state con
stitution at the last election. The
furnishing Telegraph says
ut will be necessary to take leg
islative action on the length of
terms of various public officers,
provision for which was not made
in the recently adopted amend
ments and schedule. AS judges of
the county courts can only be elect
ed in odd-numbered years, at mu-
nicipal elections, it will be neces
sary to lengthen for one year the
terms of the judges whose commits
sions expire with the end of 1912
1910 and 1918. The schedule has
already provided that those judges
whose terms expire with the end of
1910 shall continue in Office anoth-
er year.
"The terms of justice of the
peace end OH the first Monday of
May, except those to be elected in
February, 1910. who will serve un-
til the first Monday in December,
1915. The act should specifically
state when the terms shall end of
those elected i'll Ieo6-o7-oS. Those
elected in 1906 should be lengthen-
ed to the first Monday in Decem-
Der, 1911. Those elected in 1907
and 1908 to the first Monday in
December, 1913. and those elected
in 1909 to December, 1915.
"All townships, boroughs, ward
and city officers who were elected
in 1908, for three years, are pro-
vided for by the schedule; they will
serve until the first Monday in De-
cember, 1911, and their successors
will be elected dt the November
election of 1911, and serve four
years. The terms of all Of the
class of officers, who were elected
in 1909, should be extended to the
first Monday in December, 1913.
THE terms CT all officers who
have in the past been elected for
four years should be extended to
the first Monday in December of
the proper year; those who were
elected in 1907, to December, 1911,
those elected in 1908, either to the
same date although this would
shorten their present term a few
months, or else to December, 1913,
which would lengthen their term
one year and eight months. Those
elected in 1909 Tor four years are
provided for IN the schedule, and
will serve until December, 1913.
THE officers elected for two
years in 1909 should serve until
the first Monday of December, 1911.
Those officers whose terms have
heretofore been either one year or
two years will serve by direction of
the schedule until December, 1911.
Through some inadveftence,
the terms of Office of assessors who
are to be elected in February, 1910,
| are made to expire on the first
Monday of December, 1911, as
stated in the third paragraph of the
schedule. although heretofore these
officers have been elected for three
year terms, and there is no doubt
that their successors will serve for
four years"

~ met Lincoln only once after
his election to the Presidency. He
was on his way to Charlestown,
ILL.,. to bid his stepmother'goodby
before going to Washington. He
was travelling on day train, riding
in a day coach and surrounded by
other passengers, some congratu-
lating him, others advising, but
most of them simply crowcing
around to shake his hand. They
all seemed to know him or felt that
they knew him. He made his last
visit to his stepmother She was
just common homespun woman,
and to her he remained until the
end, just My Boy Abe.
Through one term as President
and the beginning of another, the
Speaker sketched in a graphic way
LinSoln's life, war, the inevitable,
the strife among his advisers. the
criticism and abuse heaped upon
his head after the first battle of
Bull Run, and the almost super-hr-
man task the President carried to
win his Fl ,ht for the right as he
saw it.
HIS REPLY TO PREACHERS.
"When ministers of the gospel
came with advice which they be-
lieved to be divine inspiration,
continued the Speaker, Lincoln
replied that if COD intended to give
divine advice to Anyone, he believ-
ed it would come TO him upon
whom laid the responsibility for he
was as anxious as anyone to know
the divine will and act in accord
with it.
ITO me there is no more inspir-
ing incident in our whole history,
nor one more pathetic, than that OF
the tall gaunt form of Lincoln with
that sad but serene face, standing
out against a darkening sky to as
sure the men in the field and their
supporters at home, that there was
still manhood and real leadership
in the place of highest RESPONSE
bility.

MISSION THEATRE,

Anyone who has a case of the blues
no matter how severe, Will do well TO
visit the Mission this week, where a cure
for the blues is assured. Few, if any,
acts seen in this city in years have been
tunnier than that offered by George b.
Reno and company, The Misfit Army.
One Of the members of the company is
nearly seven feet tall and looks like
long lath with the sliVers blown off, an
other member of the team is just three
feet high, while a third member would
tip the beam at close to the 30J-pound
mark. Mr.. Reno, the commander-in-chlef
of the army" is just an ordinary look
ing man. The quartet are introduced by
a young woman, who is clever in song
and dance. The act is a scream from
start to finish.
There is also a laugh a minute in the
act presented by Whitehead and Gier-
son, and the same is true of the act
given by HOey and MOZar The act fur
nished by Ray Fern is one of the clev-
crest OF its kind seen in this city in a
long time.
For those who love feats of strength
and skill, nothing finer has been seen
IN this city than the act presented by
the -Four Baltus, who give really re
markabe exhibition,
The Mission orchestra, with new music
and new moving pictures go to make up
one of the best bills yet offered at this
house.
