26.-"I am inclined to think" says
Gamaliel Bradford, that the 10000
900 Americans who celebrate this
Thanksgiving Day have just as high
an average of morality and righteous
ness as the few score Puritans who
celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day
nearly three centuries ago."
And if lineage and training amount
to anything, Gamaliel Bradford the
Sixth ought to know. For he Is the
great great great great-gre great
grandson of William Bradford the
first Governor of Plymouth colony
elected on American soil, who insti-
tuted our great Thanksgiving festival.
He inherits the traditions of eight
generations of Puritans. And he is
a distinguished scholar and writer of
American history.
This modern Puritan, who spans
the gap between 1921 and 1918, con-
tinued:
Il do not mean to Islander the Pill
grim Fathers. I merely do justice to
the present average American.
'.Such differences of morals and
manners as have come about are
mostly superficial. In the fundamen-
tails of character, such as honesty,
fairness, kindness. generosity, sobri-
ETY., courtesy, marital loyalty. etc,
am satisfied that there has been no
deterioration.
Our morals may seem lower. be-
cause nowadays every evil deed is
shouted from the housetops. The pro-
portion was probably just as large
even from the time of the Mayfiower.

in Wallaston, Mass?
aNever in history has there been
union Of so many diverse elements as
in this country today. The Greeks
and Romans were formed of merged
races; the English have their strains
of Saxon, Danish, Norman, French,
etc. But in our melting pot have
been cast nearly all the nations and
races of North and South, East and
West.
.srhe lessons the children of alien
parents learn in our schools, the
traditions they absorb almost with
their breath, make the Irishman, the
German. the Scandinavian, the ltal-
ian, the Russian Jew, akin to the
Mayfiower pilgrims. Training tells
more than blood.
1.-THE type will change somewhat,
to be sure. 1t is changing now. The
result will be something different at
last-I do not know what. But be-
1ieve that when the final American
type is fixed it will be strong, fine

original, maybe better. though with
the same fundamentals"
But if morals remain the same to-

weakness. We have largely lost the
sense of intimate religious life, OF
personal dependence on Providence,
of gratitude to God. We feel that, II

IF we believed, as our forefathers
did. that all these things come from

The Menace Of 5O0,O0O,O0O Rats

and health authorities to provide
charts textbooks, etc., in order to
carry out the details of the plan in a
most efficient manner DR.. Hurty's
rat chart is to be placed in every
schoolroom, and every teacher is pro-
vided with an interesting pamphlet
which outlines the life story of the
rat, and in such simple and direct
manner that any child can understand.
Instructions in how to make buildings
and dwellings, rat-proof will also be
given. The people are in earnest.
Failure to teach this subject in the
schools is punishable with a fine Of
from $40 to $685.
All this, of course. is only one phase
of the question and of what Indiana
intends to do. The important thing to
bear in mind is the fact that there is
one State in the Union with sufficient
foresight and awareness to know a
menace when it sees one, and to take
present steps and far-seeing ones both
for the present and oncoming genera
tons The last session of the Indi-
ana State Legislature made all this
possible, but not without some thought
and some struggle on the part of
somebody.

Six thousand were expected to flock

somehow the ice in the water pitcher

went up there stood the hero facing
four thousand empty seats. There
stood the local manager facing a
huge deficit, but a dispatch to the
Sun states that "Mr. Sulzer had no
complaint as to the warmth of his
welcome"
No, indeed; he was kept warm by a

Miners Omens of III Luck.
Boston's cowpnths Defended.

From the Boston Globe
1t may not be literally true that the
COWS who are reputed to have laid out
the streets in old Boston were excel
lent civil engineers and experts in city
planning, but that they builded wiser
than they knew is the opinion of w.
G. Ewing, chairman of the committee
on city planning of the Boston Cham
Der of Commerce.
This is Mr.. Ewing's defense of the
bovine t-laying- department
of early Boston: "Just because there
are so many little alleys and foot
paths it is possible for any person who
is well acquainted with these devious
ways to go from any point in the heart
of the city to any other point in almost
a straight line. The streets radiating
from Postoffice square would not be
greatly improved upon if the city
were being designed anew. The same
statement might be made of several
other points where many streets run
in different directions, like the spokes
Of a wheel as they leave the hub"
The proviso that one must be well
acquainted with these devious ways"
in order to go from one point to an
other in almost a straight line is not
unreasonable. Those whose business
takes them frequently through
crooked streets will soon get acquaint-
ed. The convenience of others is not
so important. According to the old
saying, you can 'go straight down
the crooked lane and all around the
square if you know the way.
The chief objection to the business
streets of Boston is in their narrow
ness, not in their crookedness. Wider
streets and wider sidewalks would be
welcome.
