THANKSGIVING. Thanksgiving
Day will be very duly observed by
all good Democrats, a. they have
much to give thanks for. Mr.. Roose-
veit's New Nstionalism-the concen-
tration Of great power. which under
the Constitution 10 reserved ~ the
people Of the several States-is buried
with Its author under an avalanche
Of opposing votes. For such sig.
nal favor, supreme thanks should be
given. The stsndpstters have been
defeated and peoples Congress,
pledged TO tariff downward, has been
given power to carry out the pledge;
for this everyone. high or low, rich
or poor. should give thanks. Honest
and patriotic Republicans have helped
US Democrats to gain q great victory
to the end that equal rights to all
and special privileges to none may
be the law Of the land, and for this
both will join in giving thanks.

women, many of whom have no more
idea of feet and rhyme in verse, than
a cat has of a pipe-organ. They ap-
parently measure meter with a
clothes-line, and adjust rhyme with a
frying pan; still these rustlers for
business carry around the crude pro-
duets Of these amateurs and tax
prospective advertisers from $3.50

with which it's weekly visits is greet

sides and from far end near. The
larger proportion Of these come from
women subscribers, or the better
lalf' Of the male patron, aud were
the editor net very level headed, he
would long ago have been overcome
with egotisM and vanity.
As reference in detail will proba'

a general review here. Suffice it to
say that the STANDARD has enacted
an important part in the carly his
tory of the State, county and munic-
ipality. as wei as the part of patriot
ism il the stirring incidents OF ma
tionai strife aud trioulatiou.
The STANDARD, We are pleased to
note, receives full recognition and
credit from its contemporaries for
being a fair, consistent and out
spoken exponent of its party creed.
1t has been such without fear or IA
vor, and has never demanded pay for
any party services. In this it has
done better than it has been done
by; many o time it has carried a
weary party load, of persons who
were partisan by name only, or only
when the band-wagon was on pa
rade, without any award of the small
pickings of patronage that came
their way.
Let it be understood, therefore. il
after a much-needed rest, the editor
again engages in editorial work on
this or any ether paper, that he will
be independent enough to claim and
insist upon his just dues; that the
jug-handled-game has been suppressed
ed by policy taught by experience;
that the legitimate profits Of party
patronage will be q fair exchange for
party effort and the jealous defence Of
party principle.
As intimated, the retirement is
only partial and conditionary. The
STANDARD may pass under different
control, when. Of course, it may
adopt different policy. It will be
continued for y few weeks, to Gil Out

Yankee Blood" Near Extinction.

That is what Prof. A. b. Hart. of
Harvard college. IN authority on nu-
merous subjects concerning sociOlog-
ical conditions, says. He arrives at
this conclusion from comparison of
the numerous class histories of that
institution and facts CLEANED from
the U. S. censuses. He finds that
Yankee blood, or pure English stock
as he prefers to call it, is rapidly dy-
ing out and that the normal increase
of population from the birth-rate is
falling off. He cites the class of
1871. with ten of the eleven members
married and the fathers of II child
rem. The class of 1880. his own, had
l70 graduates, and there are not as
many as ITO children of that number
of graduates. He uses these classes
for illustration not because they are
university people. but because these
grades are representative men Of the
ordinary community.
The professor attributes this evil
dent race suicide to high prices for
subsistence and exaggerated social
conditions. departing from the simple
life of our fOrefathers, that is becom-
ing gradually eliminated from our
social methods of living. The love
element seems to be a secondary con-
dition when it is closely aligned with
high prices of food and wearing ap-
parel. as we'll as every necessity that
conduces to ease and comfort. Men
and women marry late. or do not
marry at all, or adopt questionable
means of limiting offspring. so that
the Yankee element have less than
one fifth as many children as when
the country was first settled. IN
creased immigration. mostly of large
families may somewhat disturb the
ratio. but the costs Of living and pro-
viding a higher education that is
now deemed more essential, are the
elements most at fault in jorsigaixing
American citizenship. But then.
Prof. Hart notes that inasmuch as
these families became Americanized
they adopt the prevailing habit and
cease to bring forth their usual num-
Der of descendants. making the final
result still more difficult to predict.

Inrease OF the Pension Roll.

Fl. Sumter was bombarded on April
II, 1861. On that date the National
pension Roll con tanned 10, 709 names.
1t was eighty-five years sihce the
Declaration of Independence; during
those eighty-f1ve years three foreign
wars and countless Indian battles
had been fought, and in those eighty
five years the Government had paid
ont in pensions total OF $50. $50, 359.
General Robert F. Lee surrendered
at AppomattOx Courthouse April 9,
1868. On June 80, of that year, the
pension list contained So, 9S6 names
The wounded and the widows of the
dead had not yet, OF course, all had
time TO file their claims. A year
later there were on the pension rolls
the names of l26, 722 men and women,
among whom $l5, 45O. $50 was that
year distributed.
On June 30. 1909, (the last fiscal
year for which exact figures are OBJ
tainable). fOrty-four years after Lees
surrender. there were on the pension
rolls the names of 946, 1874 persons.
among whom 3l6I, 973,7O4 was that
year distributed. During last fiscal
year, ending June 80. 1910. the roll
bore probably $40. 900 names. and the
amount distributed was probably
$l55, 900. 900. The people of the
United States are to-day paying in
pension, annually. to men and wO-
men presumed to have suffered
through a war fought out and fin.
ished forty five years ago. sum ten
times as great as that paid out in
the year Immediately following the
war.
The people Of the United States
are paying out in pension every six
months more than enough 70 have
paid the whole pension bill Of the
War Of Independence. We have late
ly added a revolutionary pensioner to
the roll; We are still paying 400 pen
siOns on account OF the war Of 1872.
900 pensioners for the Mexican War.
1900 pensions for Indian wars; but
to the beneRciaries from the Civil
War alone we have paid the enormous
total of 1855. 48l .840-iorty times
as much as has beou paid pensioners
Of all previous wars combined.
It was at the close Of the war Of the
States that there began the rolling
up Of the pension SNOWFALL, which
has reached proportions not dreamed
Of at first. which has gathered to itself
elements totally different from those
which first entered into It. and which
threatens to roll on rowing bu rden

No patriotic American begrudges
the disabled soldiers or his widow o
penny Of all that the Government
may give them to repay them for their
sacrifice. Care OF those who have
sacrificed for the common good is one
of the traits which distinguish civil
ization from barbarism. The form

ognized is that Of the soldier who
