Another Murderous Assault.

II will be surprising if the man who
yesterday murderously assaulted Charles
A. Stockett In his place of business in
this city and robbed him of money and
valuabies is not caught. He was seen
by a number Of persons, Immediately be-
fore and after the commission of the
crime. in the bright light Of morning. The
assault and theft were boldly conceived
and executed, and with 30 clear a de-
scription of the assailant the police have
abundant material on which to work in
his Identification and capture. This case
wildly recalls the killing of Tobacconist
Nickel, which has never been satisfac-
torily solved. although many believe that
the man now serving term of imprison-
ment for a murderous assault committed
shortly afterward was the slayer in that
instance. It Is similar also to the killing
OF Reed, the saloonkeeper. near the Union
station plaza, which has never been
solved, though suspicion pointed in sew
eral directions. The most profound mys-
terry OF late years is the killing about
two decades ago OF Shoemaker Hail. for
the church society money of which he
was custodian. The Hall and Reed muir
ders occurred late at night. Reed being
apparently killed outside of his store, pre-
sumably on his way home while Hall

National Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day finds the nation in a
mood To respond heartily to the Pres-

their gratitude on this occasion for the
bounties and blessings that Providence
has bestowed upon them. There is ex-
ceptionaI occasion now to give thanks.
not only for the immediate prosperity OF
the American people and their immunity
from troubles, but for the avoidance of
ills that have been gloomily predicted
during a greater part of the current year.
A few months ago il was common fore
cast that the country would soon be in
the throes of a widespread financial dis
turbance. causing serious industrial
checks. with consequent individual suffer
ins affecting multitudes of people. Po-
litical conditions were alleged as the
prospective cause of this state of affairs
The event has thus far disproved the
prophecies, and there is no immediate
ground for apprehension The country is
in good health financially. industrially and
physically 1t has suffered, to be sure.
from misfortunes, visitations of the ele-
ments. minor catastrophes and from the
usual sacrifices incidental to the rush of
life, but In the main the year has been
one OF blessing and prosperity. The coun-
try has passed quietly from the domi
nance of one political party to that Of
another without disturbing its equilibrium
and has maintained its prestige with for
eign powers undilninished. 1t is meeting
with dignity and with prospect of a
peaceful outcome a grave responsibility
regarding it's nearest southern neighbor
whose affairs have necessarily, in their
turmoil. enlisted the Offices of the United
States in the hope OF an adjustment max
ing for prosperous peace. In all lines of
domestic activities the country has gone
forward along its course OF progress and
development Thus favored by Provi-
dence. tire people OF the United States
are today expressing their heartfelt
thanks for the good that has come to
them. the evils that have been averted
and the bright future that opens before
them.

Treatment of Criminals.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The view that the aim of the law should
be to protect society from further on
slaught by the criminal, and not merely
to wreak vengeance on the offender is
here to stay. The institutions of parole
and of probation are doing good. and THEN
influence should not be curtailed. At the
same time however our courts should not
abandon discretion to the winds. Judge
Olson's arraignment of the foolish sym
pathy'' which turns loose upon the com
munity the pickpocket and petty crimi-
nal who will never reform deserves con-
sideration. Leniency toward a misguided
youth who gets into trouble, but who will
mend his ways if spared a prison SEN
tence, is justified This same leniency ex-
tended TO thoroughly bad fellow, in
spite of his stage grief and promises, is
wasted In fact, it is but a spur to fur

Honest Advertising Pays.
rom the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
The dishonest advertiser is being at
tackled from all sides nowadays, and the
idea grows that telling lies in order to
sell goods is not very far from stealing.
That is the way the great majority of ad-
vertsers feel about it; if some of them
transgress it is because they feel driven
into il by the practices of the less scru-
pulous, and they would welcome square
deal for all In some Of the western
states the lawmakers are taking advanced
ground in this matter, and we note the
fine of $50 just imposed upon a storekeep-
err at Everett Wash, for selling a foun-
tain pen that had not formed a part of a
stock advertised as having belonged to
another dealer. Misrepresentation of this
kind has become much too common in re-
tail trade. In some cases no great harm
is done; the goods sold are worth what is
asked for them, and the misrepresenta-
ton is simply a way of exciting the in
terest and expectation of the public. But
too often under such a cover some
wretched trash is worked off. Against
impositions of this sort the public is fair
ly entitled to protection.

Speculation and Cold Storage.

From the Boston Transcript.
OF course when an abnormal situation
from which the public suffers exists, those
who are suspected of being responsible
for it may be expected to be prepared
with some plausible explanations. These
have not been lacking when justification
of the unprecedented prices of eggs has
been called for The law of supply and
demand is invoked to account for them.
The hens are moulting and have been
holding up their wares, and so forth
Every body knows that there is an annual
period of shortage in strictly fresh eggs,
but the surprise this year has been that
il set in so early and has lasted so long
1t dates back to August and is gradually
increasing in acuteness The pubic IS
naturally curious to learn the bottom rea-
sons for conditions that are this year so
extraordinary. We have had hints OF
similar situations in former years. but we
have now been suffering from poor eggs
and high prices for a full quarter of a
year and the end is not yet in sight.

The Senate and the Currency.

The democrats explain their action by
saying that business interests demand

that soon as revision is voted-what-

McHarg and Republican Reunion.

Ormsby Mc1arg thinks next spring too
early for the holding of a national con-
vention with the object OF bringing re-
publicans and progressves together I'M
der the old party name for work against
the democracy. He suggests that the
meeting be postponed until after the next
congressional elections
Next spring is preferable on two &C
counts: ID The next Congress will be
chosen largely on the tariff issue, and -
another division among protectionists
will inevitably give the democrats anoth-
err victory at the polls. How would that
contribute 10 the cause of a reunion of
the protectionists?
A family row is the bitterest of all
rows. and the Oftener the hair-pulling
takes place the more difficult readjust-
ment of affairs becomes. The protection
lists lost a valuable opportunity this year
Had they composed their differences in
New Jersey and Massachusetts-both
manufacturing states-success over the
democrats would have been achieved. and
been quotable against the anti-protec-
t.onsts. But they again divided: and
victory of the minority thus obtained
has been quoted as another condemna-
ton OF the policy of protection.
Next year tine issue will be spread all
over the country. In every congress
sional district, except in the south where
only one party exists, the tariff will be
a factor in the contest and voters asked
to record themselves with regard to it.
Unless protectionsts agree meanw lille to
stand together at that time, another dem
ocfatc Congress will be certainty, and
1916 will open with the anti-protection-
lists still in full control of the govern
ment

The Fighting at Juarez.

The defeat OF tho Mexican federal forces

manded by Villa is notable in more than
the effect upon the fortunes OF the gov

that has been fought on North American
soil since the close OF the civil war nearly
fifty years ago. According TO reports. the

5000 men. This was by long odds the
heaviest encounter of the entire campaign

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.

beauty of streets and sidewalks are in
fluences in behalf of good order and ex-
allied citizenship that are more powerful
than prisons or parks. What city really
is, is told by the character OF her streets
not her High or Broad streets, so much
as the streets out whefe the population
lives. What city government amounts
to in establishing the character of city
is more reflected in the cutters and cross
ings than the proud parade on the public
occasions. A foul or dirty street. bad
and dangerous sidewalk. a gutter OF
standing, muddy water destroy civic pride
and undermine a true citizenship.

wounds inflicted by the federals in their
attempt to cary JuareZ by storm. anu
doubtless Villas forces are in need of re-
euperation. Yet whether the retreatfnS
federais are pursued immediately or not,
their failure to carry the constitutionalist
stronghold cannot but exert disastrous
influence upon the fortunes of Huerta
administration. 1t is possible that the
insurgent movement in Mexico will now
gain greater hesfdway than ever and the
collapse OF Huerta i'll short order may re
salt. not particularly through the energy
of Villa or any other of carranza lieu
tenants. but through GefectiGns at Mexico
City Itself. The mercurial temperament
of the Mexicans is to be reckoned with as
factor in political affairs and sudden
changes from internal elements are al
ways possible. II in consequence of the
complete failure of the federal army al
Juarez feeling is created ut Mexico City
that the constitutionalist fortunes are ris-

leader without a following, in which event
his overthrow will quickly result and the
demands of the United States will be
complied with TO the extent of his personal
elimination. That, however, will not eff

problem, for ii will not assure the estab-
