Let We'll Enough Alone,

New York Globe: The plan to have
Nov. 10 this year fixed as Thanks
giving day undoubtedly will fail, as
it should. Illinois is responsible for
the idea, and is considering pe~titioning
President Wilson to make the change
because the day will be the fiftieth
anniversary of the delivery Of Lin
coins address at Gettysburg.
Custom has decreed hat Thanks
giving day be observed on the last
Thursday in November, and many
years Of usage has firmly establish
ed 1T. There is no more reason for
naming the day as Nov. 10 this year
nan in any other year. 1t is some
t,fnes Just as good to- let we'll enough
alone. The rule applies in this case
without showing the least disrespect
to or holding in any less reverence

EDITORIAL COMMENT '
LOVE BESIDE THE FIRE,

The pride of autumn fades away or
wooded vale and hill,
The days are growing grayer and the
night are growing chill,
Then, hey for home, and happy ewes,
and joys hat never tire!
Wen face the worst that winter brings,
with love beside the fire!
On, sweet as youth the springtime was,
and fair were summers bowers,
And gaily glowed the %pageantry of au-
tumn's golden hours!
With sadness from the hills we saw
their sunlit days retire,
But winter brings us back again to
love beside the fire.
SO bolt the door against the blast, and
start the cheerful blaze,
let us sit, sweetheart of mine, and
talk of olden days,
OF days when first you woke in me the
dream of young desire,
When yet | hardly dared to hope for
love beside the fire!

"Superheated Nonsense"

Springfield Republican,: The cur
rency committee of the association
has now even denounced the Glass bill
as a bit Of socialism-which is SUPER
heated nonsense. 1t is surprising to
Ind any bankers who assume that
banking, when conducted under ma
tlonal or state charters, is a purely
private business. If there is anything
government should be concerned in,
for the protection of the people against
selfish interests, it is commercial
banking and the regulation Of the
issue OF. the currency of the country,
II that be socialism, then it is already
sanctioned by d venerable age in most
Of the civilized countries.

helping to solve land clearing prob
lens and others. The kll to provide
for county agents in the state was in
part drafted by Charles P. Craig, a
member of the Northern Minnesota
association. F. w. Murphy, of the
West Central Minnesota association,
co-operated with MI. Craig in the
preparation of this measure. It is the
nope OF the northern counties that the
next legislature will make an appro-
prfatton that will enable every county
in the state to have one of these
agents.
Campaign for Settlers.
To induce settlers to go into the
northern counties. the association
er IN minneapolis, who has charge of
an extensive, permanent exhibit of
northe ri Minnesota products; More
studied this exhibit, and from it litera-
ture, setting forth the opportunities of
northern Minnesota, has been sent to
thousands more. A northern Minnesota
FARMER, who has been in the north for
seventeen years, says that more set
tiers have come in in the last three
years than in the fourteen years before.
through the Impetus given the move
ment by the association, commercial
clubs, bankers associations, and other
organizations have been pushing ener-
getically, and this has helped wonder
fully to people of the northern woods.
Much remains to be done, however, n
the association feels that it has made
only a beginning.
On the social side, the northern Min
nesota association is encouraging in
every way the establishment of con-
solidated schools. These schools, with
their assembly halls, and buses for
transportation, are becoming social
centers, and will more n more" be
used as the meeting places for their
various districts. The use of the busses
is found to be a great encourager of
good-roads sentiment, too.
Farmers clubs, coming instruments
for the rapid development of the pleas
anter sides of country life, are also
multiplying in the north. There are
more than twenty of these in Koochich-
employment of country agents, the
farmers club movement will be pushed
onward rapidly, and a new agency will
thus be developed for the Improvement
of local conditions.
Associations Opportunity.
The Northern Minnesota Develop
ament association has had a large
amount of preliminary work to do. It's
problems have been of a triple nature.
1t has had to consider far-reaching re-
clamation schemes, the settler already
on the land, and the settler prospective.
But it has made a good beginning, and
it has. before 1t a splendid opportunity
to show what a development ~associa-
ton can do to promote the interests of
a new country by intensive pioneering.
The present officers of the associa-
ton are: Cyrus NJ; King, Deer River,
president; c. A. Albright, Brainerd,
vice PRESIDENT A. G.. Wedge, jr., Be
midi, treasurer, and W, r. MacKen-
Zie, Bemidji, secretary. -.

Postal Savings Ranks' Effects.

Galveston News: The postal saw
ings bank Of the United States have
not yet cut down the deposits in the
chartered institutions. Therefore these
iatter no longer oppose the postal
banks. This is the pleasing announce
ment made by f, c.. Stephenson, pres
ldent OF he savings section of the
American Bankers association. Ex-
perlence has demonstrated that the
fears of the bankers were not well
grounded. The postal banks have not
drawn money from them. Instead.
they have drawn money from hiding,
placing it at the service Of the country,
The system has afforded the people,
who, because of unacquaintance with
banks, were not satisfied with our reg
ular institutions, repositories in which
they have confidence. Upon the other
hand, it has served to emphasize the
fact that the masses of our people
have great confidence in the savings
banks Of the country, a confidence
which, We wish to remark, is deserved,
Now that their theories in respect to
the postal savings law have been dis
approved. We beg to suggest to the
bankers opposing the currency bill that
they consider the probability that some
of their fears concerning it may also
be baseless. u .s.
