IN the WING of last week will be
found the account of a great in
= dignation meeting at Cumberland
wherein the State Road Commission
is excorciated numerically. Chairman
John NJ Tucker and Governor Croth-
esr, his sponsor, were not spared in
the scathing criticisms. Something
of the same sort has been cropping
out in other sections of the State, un-
til it is becoming evident that the
people are at last realizing what all
extravagant, incompetent, ignorant
affair this State Road Commission is.
1t has been an expensive lesson to
the State already, but it is better to
learn the lesson now than later. That
it would be learned we have never
doubted. When Governor Crothers
took a man of Mr.. fuckers total in
experience and limited capacity and
placed him at the head of so large an
enterprise, we predicted failure. Years
OF faithful service as local political
lieutenant could not fit man for di-
recting SO great constructive enter
prise. Mr. Tucker seems to have
proven unacceptable to pretty much
everybody having dealings with the
Commission The fragrant lack OF
business methods in his office has
been severely censured by everyone
familiar with the facts. And yet Mr..
Tucker and Governor Crothers have
constituted themselves the Commits
sion We said in the beginning that
it was preposterous for two such men,
so wanting in business training and
executive experience, to undertake
the administration OF so large an en-
terprise 1t could only mean failure
for the enterprise, whatever it might
mean for Crothers political machine.
1t is never nice to say Il told you So;
but that is what we want to say most
awfully, as we hear the people howl.
We rather THOUGHT we knew Gro
theirs and Tucker--we folks here III
Cecil. The State at large has only
been little longer in finding them
out-and paying little more dearly
for it. We rise again to remark that,
when it comes to the pinch OF doing
things, PALAVER gets lost in the
push.

Gus Redman Seriously Injured by
his Machine.

While Gus Redman was driv-
his automobile last Friday
and enleavoring to climb the
hill near the John Hermans
place north of town., the machine
baked, and he got out and at
tempted to push it up the hill.
In some manner the backing
gear got turned on and the auto
started down the grade and into
the side of the hill, taking Mr..
Redman with it, and jammed
him against the side of the hill,
where he lay for some time in a
helpless condition. Fortunately
s. farmer driving by discovered
him, and carried him to the Her.

found that the unfortunate man
had sustained a fracture of the

WHY SHOULD WE GIVE THANKS
A Couple of SermOnettes on Causes for
Thankfulness.
H. NELSON TRAGITT.

''Honor the Lord with thy SUBJ
stance, and with the first fruits
of all thine increase; so shall thy
barns be filled with plenty, and
thy presses burst out with new
ne."-Prov. Lu-xI-x
THANKSGIVING day is observed thru
out the United States by proclama-
ton of the president, and the Govern
ors of the respective states. From
time immemorial days of thanks
giving have been observed for
various ~deliverances and benefits.
More especially for the abundance of
the harvest. The bible, which is the
source of all inspiration and true
living has innumerable examples of
such instances. Yea, from the very
start the people were commanded to
''honor the Lord with their substance,
and with the first fruits of their in
crease At the present day the deep
spiritual significance of the festival
has been obscured by e%xtraneous OBJ
servances and e~xcresenceS which a
pleasure loving people have attached
thereto. But it a not so in the be-
ginning. AS God has blessed us SO
we should surely be obligated, lovingly
and willingly, to return thanks to him
for his great benefits. If any section
of the United States has cause to be
grateful and thankful it is Grant
county. With abundant crops and
good prices, we, of all people should
''honor the Lord with our substance
and with the first fruits of our in
crease. Notselfishly feasting onthe good
things of the earth, but sharing with
those in dire necessity and want.
Acknowledging that all good gifts
cometh from above, from the Father
| of light, with whom is no variable
ness nor shadow of turning. If such
a spirit pervades u Thanksgiving
Day then, God, eve our own God,
shall bless; and the earth shall bring
forth her increase" We shall then
give thanks to God for all his bene-
fits, for our creation, preservation
and all the blessings of this life and
for his i~nestimable love in giving us
redemption throu His Son Jesus
Christ. Such a Thanksgiving Day
will be to our present and eternal
welfare.

The absence of the opening buds of spring; the faded
blossoms of departed summer; the gray yelled skies of
autumn; the chill of frightening nights and the tang of
frosty mornings all serve to remind us of the approaching
end of the present year and bring again to our minds our
beautiful custom of National Thanksgiving.
It is in accordance with this pious custom, born of the
grateful hearts of our fOrefathers in the dim long ago, and
faithfully observed by the generations through the years.
and in humble acknowledgment of the manifold mercies
received from God, the giver of all good, that l, r. S.
Vessey, Governor o" the State of South Dakota, by virtue
of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby appoint,
designate and set apart
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1910
as a day of special prayer and Thanksgiving, and recon.
mend to the people of the state that on this day we desist
from our various pursuits and regular business, and
devote our minds and hearts to the solemn observance of
prayer to Him who guards and directs the destinies of
men and of nations, whose blessings are now manifest
throughout the state and country.
The sunshine of prosperity has smiled upon our land
and peace and plenty have been among our people and
blessed our homes. Civic conditions in our state have
been improved, and the plane of morality among our citi-
zens has been lifted, for which let us be especially CRATE
full.
Our evident blessings are many, and as we gather
about our hearthstones let gratitude abound and may we
ever remember that righteousness exalteth a nation,
but sin is a reproach to any people,
In WITNESS WHEREOF, l have hereunto set my hand
and caused the Great Seal of the State to be affixed, at

THAN SEWING FOR SERVICE.
ERNEST HOLGATE

Text: 81 thank Him for appointing
me to his service."- Tim. /, II Or.
w
This is the annual festival of the
harvest and the hOme-The theme of
gratitude is uppermost in our minds.
But for what are we grateful? For
the food We have eaten, the clothes
that We wear, the roof that shelters US,
the books that enrich our libraries,
the friends that surround our table!
Yes! But is this al? With too many
it is-The gratitude of all too many
never rises above the earth-Paul's
gratitude, however, was not of the
earth earthly but Of the heaven
heavenly-He says: 81 thank Him
for appointing me to His service
Not for food, clothing, shelter; not for
friends, kindly associations, home
but for the privilege of serving his
|fellowmen-Paul did not forget Gods
material benefits: he was too real a
man and had too real human needs to
forget these physical blessings with
which God had enriched him-But it
was for the greater benefit that he was
most grateful, and while we thank God
for the satisfaction of our bodily
needs, we should especially give
CIl1nkS uutO MIN IOr Lno C"ulLlVaClOn OF
our souls, and for the opportunities
of beneticent service. In the language
of one Robert Davis in 1.-The Better
Prayer" let us say:
81 thank Thee, Lord. for strength of
To win my bread,
And that beyond my need is e
For friend unfed.
l thank the much for bread to live,
| thank the more for bread to give.
81 thank Thee, Lord, for snug matched
roof
In cold and storm,
And that beyond my need is room
For friend fOrlOrn.
l thank The much for place to rest,
But more for shelter for my guest.
II thank Thee, Lord, for lavish love
On me bestowed.
Enough to share with lOveless folk
To ease their load.
Thy love to me i'll could spare,
Yet dearer is Thy love l share"
