TODAY, throughout this great country
of ours, will assemble a prosperous peo-
pie in their respective places of worship
at the suggestion of the President of
the United States and of the governors
of the several states, to offer praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His goodness and mercies to us as a an
ton, as a state, a community and as in
dividuals. In Oakland the congrega-
tons of the several churches unite in a
special service in the Lutheran church.
Rev. Archibald Moore, Methodist, will
preach the sermon. The music will be
furnished by the choirs of the several
churches of the city This is as it
should be.
This will not only be day OF prayer
and Thanksgiving, but it will be, as well,
day of family reunions and good-f fell
lowship. The sons and daughters will
return to the parental home to eat the
Thanksgiving dinner-roast turkey, veg
etables, mince and pumpkin pies and
doughnuts. WHAT happy hours will be
enjoyed as they talk of the days gone
bye and the promise of the future.
Business is laid aside for the day and
the home life is enjoyed. Care and
anxiety is forgotten. 1t is the day of
the American, whether in his native
land or in a foreign cline. Thanksgiv-
ing day is an American institution. AS
Americans let us enjoy it to its fullest
extent. There are none of US but who
have reasons for thanksgiving and
praise. Things may not have gone as
we wished them to go. We NAV not
have accomplished what we expected to
accomplished. We may have met with
losses and disappointments during the
year. Yet, notwithstanding all this, we
have many things to be thankful for.

A Temperance
Talk to Voters
BY
JAYSON KEEP

Isn't their statement absurd? And
you swallowed it. WHY don't they say,
1--WE want to run booze joint because
there is immense profits in it," Why
not be honest? If their statement were
true, then they would be bum lot of
business men and you cannot accuse
them of that failing. If they could not
run hotel and board us at from 81. 90
to $500 a day, there is something radl-
callY wrong with their method of doing
business and they better call in an ex-
pert to change their system.
In large percentage of hotels which
have bar, ''the tail ways the dog, "
the hotel is used as feeder for the bar,
the man who patronizes the bar is Big
Mike in the other division. You squrm,
| am telling the public something which
all the travelling men know.
Another thing | want to tell you-the
bars and the gang that loafs aroundthem
at the hotel have put many a young
travelling man on the bum, made them
lose their job. Oh yes, we have seen
it start and watched it grow on them
and then we missed them. 1t would be
blessing for the travelling man and a
Joy for their employers if booze was
shut out of every hotel
In the great fight in West Virginia
last year 90 per cent. of the travelling
men of West Virginia got out and work
ed hard for the amendment. They wrote
articles, made speeches, worked with
individuals, worked at the polls and put
up their hard earned dollars for the
cause, and are credited with being quite
factor in bringing forth the over
whelming majority of 90, 342 for dry.
Hotel men all admit that 1t is the
travelling man who keeps up the hotels.
Now, | want to put you wise, the trav-
cling men do not enjoy having most of
the chairs in the lobby monopolized by
lot of oh-be joyful individuals who
want to keep Within easy reach of the
bar.
If it were left to vote of the travel
ing men bar or no bar in the hotel. it
would 20 dry by a West Virginia ma
jority. Mr. Church Member and Mr..
Good moral Man, Outsider, another of
your pet reasons for voting wet has been
plucked from your boquet. ''One by one
like leaves they fall, " and you soon will
have no.poor sufferers to feel sorry for
and vote wet to help along If YOU vote
for booze, YOU do so because you want
booze handy. Don't be hYpocrit any
longer. Stand up to the rack like man
and say, Il vote for booze because
want it and | don't care a Tinker
dam about how it affects my children. "
lshe poor travelling public does not
need your sympathy; they have money
to pay their bills. Why don you ex-
tend little Of your sympathy and at
tention to the poor families, wives and
children of the drinkers. the slaves of
the appetite and try to do something
toward removing the cause of their
trouble. You can't fool God and you
can't even fool your neighbors. The
day Of the artful dodger Is passed, the
time is at hand when every citizen. in
public or private life. Will have to come
out and show where he stands.

that the loser might set up his claim
