Remove the Junk Pile.

Editor the Missourian: Columbia
boasts of having the finest courthouse
in Missouri. 1t is beautiful as well
as convenient But there is one thing
that detracts from it's beauty. re-
fer to that old junk pile right in front
of the courthouse door.
It is the mark of a country town
to have a junk pile in the heart of a
city. Even the smallest and dirtiest
city makes its junk dealer put high
board fence around his junk yard.
Columbia should do something
about the matter. 1t detracts from
the beauty of the courthouse. 1t is
very unsightly. Many a man goes to
the courthouse the first thing when
he comes to town. What do you think
his impression of the town will be
when he sees that old junk pile? He'll
probably say to himself: Huh. l
thought this was a city instead of a
village. Wonder how they ever dug
up the money for such a courthouse?
Do something with the junk pile.

The Wrong Time.

Fussin' bout the weather!
Complainin' bout the cold!
Never mind the pawpaws
Yellower than gold!
Never mind the simmons
Ripenin' on the trees!
Never mind the gobbles
Carried on the breeze.
Fussin' bout the weather.
Somethin' mighty queer;
Forgettin' all the good things
At this good time O. year.
Better stop your fussin',
Better change your ways;
Say, now, amt you happy
On these Thanksgivin' days.

THANKSGIVING THEN AND NOW.

The frost is on the pumpkin, the
fodder is in the shock and Thanks
giving is near Out in the barnyard
the fat turkey has ceased to gobble
SO loudly, and the mincemeat in the
cellar is getting mellower just
right for pies. One can hardly wait
for the feast day But before the
smell of delicious cooking pushes all
other thoughts into the background
let us consider what Thanksgiving is
for and how it originated.
Thanksgiving is supposed to be
distinctive American institution.
However, it was celebrated back in
early times by the Canaanites when
they held a festival over the gather
ing in of the vintage. The Greeks.
too. had a harest festival 1t was
celebrated in Athens in November
and was called Thesmophoria, the
feast of Demeter, A sacred meal.
similar to our turkey dinner. was
served. The Romans feasted in Oc-
tober.
Our English neighbOrs named their
feast the Harvest Home. When the
Pilgrims harvested their first crop in
America, it meant so much to them
that they set aside three days of re-
joicing and feasting. The Indians
were invited to the feast because they
had helped the first settlers plant and
harvest the crop that meant life to
them and their loved ones. Wild
turkeys were killed by the Indians as
their contribution to the feast.
We hold, however, the year 1865 as
the birthday of our annual national
holiday, Thanksgiving. Then it was
that President Lincoln set aside the
fourth Thursday in November for
day of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a time for rejoic-
ing and feasting and is rightly called
a harvest festival 1t is the only re-
ligious festival that is celebrated by
virtue of civil authority. 1t is the
expression of the great national
heart. What shall we do on Thanks
giving day? Whittier, the poet. tells
us:
And now with autumn's moonlit
Its harvest time has come;
We pluck away the frosted leaves
And bear the treasure home.
Then let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod:
Still let us, for His golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God.

that a proportionately greater number
of suicides occur among the Jaws In

countries In which the race meets

go back a thousand years or more
for genuine poetic inspiration. or that
the poet of today must necessarily

THE.P. 7. BARNUM Of POLITICS

To the National Moathly, Frank
B. Lord, under the t,tle: "Roose-
Welt the P. T. Barnum of Politics."
contributes an article, the intro
duction of which is as follows:
"What will Theodore Roosevelt
do?
In almost any consideration at
this time, the coming presidential
c, ntest, from the republican stand
point, this question is asked. 1t
should not be diff cut one to ans
wer in view of the fact that Theo-
dore Roosevelt for TIE past twelve
or fifteen years has keen more or
less-generally more seeking to
monopolize all of the attention
upon the stage of politics. With
the agility of the acrobat, which
politically he is, he has been dane
ing, pirouetting, leapine, side
stepping, striding playing, turning
handsprings and double back
someI saults from ons wing to the
other in an endeavor to keep the
spotlight Of publicit playing upon
his supple and vacillating form.
Does anyone think trat Theodore
Roosevelt will do any less than
this now, now with presidential
campaign approaching and the
boards all set for the quadrennial
drama of politics? 70 entertain
for a moment the thought that he
would at such a time and under
such circumstances be content to
remain in the background and
conport himself with the dignity
becoming one WHO has held the
high Office with which he has been
honored, is to confess that the
Rooseveltian spectacular extrava-
ganza of recent years has not been
fully appreciated, or Its intent
and purposes discerne;.
Its object is to keep The audience
entertained and guessing while
the prestidigitator performs his
marvellous jugglery act with public
sentiment and Wall street interests,
all the time keeping E, presidential

The P. T. Barnum Of American
politics-with three ring circus,
the velvet coated ring masters,
the sideshosws with their deep
lunged bankers, and exc withd
menagerie of trained and urtraine
animals constitute the greatest
show on earth Theodore Roose-
welt believes with his prototype of
the tented arena, that the Ameri-
