THANKSGIVING DAY

Thanksgiving Day, although joyous holiday,
marks the waning of the year. With most of the
principal Christian festivals of the year there is to
be traced some historical tradition leading to pagan
times; even Christmas made the successor of some
ancient feast the origin Of which is lost in the mlsts
of ages relating to the winter sleep of the sum- reborn
at Easter. These myths are interesting and often
beautiful; and, whatever else may be thought of
them, they show at least that mankind has always
possessed imagination and the deep poetic sense.
Thanksgiving Day, however, has no such aSsocia-
tion il is strictly American holiday, coming down,
indeed from Puritan times, and of Puritan origin
but gradually adopted by the whole people. The
Puritans were not holiday-making people, and had
few of those celebrations; but they struck happy
note when they instituted the day for general
thanksgiving They built, in fact better than they
knew and did not oresee that the rather ausere fes-
tival originated by them, with thought of prob
able evolution would day come to be an occasion
of pleasure making and happiness for mighty peo-
pie Certainly they had no idea of Thanksgiving Day
as we mean it today-the genial holiday, not only for
thanks TO a gracious Providence, but for family re-
unions, friendly good wishes, and general enjoyment.
Thanksgiving Day occurs, as most people Will
agree, precisely at the right time. Autumn has re-
treated; but winter has not yet fully arrived. There
is that pleasant lull in which occurs at inter
walls in the annual of the something
that appears to place humanity-or American human
ity at eastin the proper mood for enjoying the in
terval of recreation in the last days of November and
the saddened autumn before we feel the keen cold,
the whirling SHOWS and the bosterous winds of win

COWDRAY AND COLOMBIA.

1t is not a far cry from the methods of Cecil
nodes in South Africa to those of Lord Cowdray
Mexico and Colombia .,Owdray is big and he
eglns to be an ominous figure. His procedure is in
otter keeping with the methods of the twentieth
entury than was that of Rhodes in Africa. But both
t them have operated through commercial agencies,
ith the backing of British capital, and the under
ing purpose of setting up vast business interests
lat should become the real ruling factors in the
ountries they invaded. Hastings in India was more
edieval, more direct, had less of fnesse. His
ethods would not do now. Rhodes was to Africa
| the nineteenth century what Hastings was to In
ia; Cowdray seems determined in the twentieth
:ntury to be that same thing to Latin America.
1t will be a matter of very grave concern to
ie United States if Cowdray shall now attempt, in
lie face of exposure of his performances in Mex
o, to entrench himself similarly in Colombia At

BLEASE AND THE PAROLE.

Modern criminology strongly supports the exten-
son of the parole in proper cases, giving criminals
heir liberty and a chance to reform and be useful
members of society Done save with judgment and
sense paroling prisoners is, of course violent Of
ense against society.
Governor Blease, of South Carolina, turned loose
platoon of criminals without reference, apparently,
deserts or the interests of society. One of them,
murderer vino had served three years of a life SEN
ence went straightway and killed another man.
That is Bleaseism in the last degree. 1t is the
ogca outgrowth of the Bease attitude of mind
oward law order and sense 1t is not only offense
sainst the community which is endangered by such
ecklessness, but perversion of humane and desir-
bIe system, calculated to bring that system into dis
epute.

GETTING AT THE FACTS.

The Inauguration of an investigation into food
rices and the relation thereto of cold storage has
ought forth another ebullition of protest against
congressional Investigations. There is the same old
ound of condemnation against wasting the peoples
1oney' on useless investigation" that never get
nywhere.
This kind of criticism pretty uniformly represents
tory mind. Of course. Before US is the editorial
age of an important newspaper, camoring forth in
stence that the country must know whether cold stor
ge is TO serve or to command the community in the
latter of food supplies whether it is to be used to
quaze them down or to equalize them upward
rough monopoly. This newspaper urges that the
acts must be had; we must know how long it is
afe to leave different foods in cold storage, how
ing it will be good use, and whether by limiting
periods of storage it is possible on one side to
ct the benefits of equalzing supplies, while on the
ther avoiding the danger of monopoly
This, in short, is pointed demand for the very
1quiY that is now getting under way.
Yet the very day previous on that same page,
at newspaper was derding investigations and ap-
ealing to prejudice with the charge that they waste
'orey and do no good.
