THANKSGIVING DAY.

Ever it is true that the great peoples
are those who give open thanks To the
! Power that they recognize for the good
which comes to them. Something in
the strong heart has made thanksgiving
an instinct Of 70 ceful civilization. 1t has
been SO ever since the time when Mir
lam. the prophecies, played upon the
umbrel while her handmaidenS danced
and the daring israeltes praised God
because they had safely passed through
the dangers OF the sea. The old Greeks
made thank offerings to their gods. and
the bearded NorSemen expressed their
Clamorous gratitude to Odln and Thor
To the world dominating Anglo-Saxon,
with his religion of Christ, came the
same impulse and it has cung TO him in
each vast wilderness that he has invaded.
Not only has he been giver Of thanks,
but he has dignifed and glorifed the
duty and made it a feature Of his ma
tional life
1t was almost matter of course that
there should suggest itself to the Pur-
itans, rigid and God fearing as the most
earnest of Cromwells round heads. the
idea of a thanksgiving that should be
formal, but it was from the hux of a new
natures munihcent influence upon their
lives that there came melloWing to the
character Of the DAVIS observance. that
certain hardness disappeared, and that
the occasion became one Of joyous-
ness. The little shrubs OF observance
planted in 1921 bv the good Governor
Bradford has grown into a mighty tree
with flowers and fruit. .
II was good, all that happened about
the time of the first Thanksgiving day.
The Pilgrim Fathers were in particular

caslon. Years. of scanty crops and
threatening starvation had been followed
by bouutliul harvest and there was an
absolute geniality in the preliminaries to

Twins an Evil Omen.

Igorote women have a strange sup
erstition about twins. They say that
Anito, an evil spirit, is always pres
ent in one Of the babes when twins
are born. Napeek, twins are called,
and their advent is looked on as an
evil omen. Even wild buffalo-cara-
bao-have but one calf. say the super
stitious Igorotes, so they take one OF
the twins, usually the larger, and
quietly dispose of it.-Christian

WHY Object To Parker

Many democrats cannot see the evil
effect of having Judge Alton b. Parker
as temporary chairman OF the Demo-
cratic National Convention and the CIV
ing his opening speech for people TO
read. The democratic candidate can
only be electe'i by getting republican
votes.
Former President Roosevelt got turn
ed down at Chicago because OF his pro-
gressive principles and not because he
was not a good republican OH the tariff
and money question. MI. Roosevelt,
with all his Inconsistencies, and not
withstanding his denomination would
be for third term, is the popular idol oil
the republican masses, like MI. b yam
is of the democratic masses.
MI. Parker devoted One-tlird OF his
speech against Roosevelt, whose friends
are disguised because OF the turn
ing down of progressive principles. LII
fact, that part OF his speech was such
as the Taft faction used. III olhel
words he threw a wet blanket on Mr..
Roose, cit and his followers. He said
nOla word against Taft and the method
of his nomil alton and indirectly assist
ed President Taft 10y using the argu'
ments of his hackers against Roosevelt,
instead of extoiling progressive prlnci
pies and thus show they should support
"a progressive democratic candidate.
The last tWO-lhirds OF MI. Parkey'i
speech was Oh the tariff which issue th'
re-actionaries have fought sham bat
. ties for forty years while working thei
political game 10 make laws and to pro
lect privileged interests while holding
the offices.
Plulocracy works in the da. to foo
the people and MI. Parker is al
adept tool. Mr.. Bryan Ill opposing M
Parker, had no PERSONAL objections u
MI. Parker, but he knows What plutoc
racy is and knows Low it works al,
what MI. Parker represents.
