WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL
THANKSGIVING 1914. finds u.

THANKSGIVING 1914, finds us
at peace with the rest of the
world, while the great powers OF
the Old World are at war with
each other; the Mexican situation
on our borders is clearing, and the
American citizen is indeed little
of soul who cannot approach this
Thanksgiving Day with a proper
spirit.
Mr.. Moneybags, as you sit down
to your Thanksgiving feast and
stimulate your jaded appetite
with the sparkling spirit of the
vine-clad hills of France, be
thankful that the footprints of
cavalry have not, as there, de-
spoiled the smooth sward of blue
grass that you look out over so
fondly, and rejoice that the lit
tie streams that laugh through
your peaceful acres are not red
with mans blood.
Mr.. Middleman, if your salary
has been cut little; if you find
it necessary to tighten up on the
outgo so that the "tongue may
meet the buckle;" if you are ap-
prehensive that you may have to
put that "Ford" in cold storage,
still be thankful that you are not
lying in the trenches, with the
flash of flame in your eyes by day
and the thud of grave sod in your
ears by night. 1
Mr.. Wage Garner, be thankful
that the dinnerpail has thus far
been kept well filled, even with
Jour days a week. The good wife
and the little ones, with you there
o encourage them, can somehow
manage with a somewhat lighter
pay envelope far better than on
he miserable pension that a SOL
dier's widow received.
'Some hae meat and Gamma eat,
And some would eat that want
it;
But we haze meat, and we can eat,
Sac let the Lord be thankit. "

WANT CAVALRY HORSES.

h rse TO let go of him, unless he is
compelled to. From 800 to $3.50
is the usual price offered, and
ii horses are worth more than

THE GENTLE CHILEAN BANDIT

 A robbery is proposed to the intoxicated serF- ants who readily acquiesce more out oi druhheh gratitude for the liquor furnished by the thieves than any motive of crime gain They are often induced to guides in directing the bandits to the home of their master. In this manner the cum ming thieves protect themselves, claiming m the of detection before assault IS made that they were only accompanying their friends nome When the house is reached. of the robbers goes to the door and knocks.

The Voters of Phoenix

The Republican desires to congratulate the men and women of Phoenix the splendid fight they made yesterday for the Good Government League ticket At this hour, 1 O clock, it seems certain tlhat three members of the ticket have been nom mated There is a possibility that the fourth, Roy S Goodrich may qualify. Joseph Cope, who heads the commission ticket endorsed by the league and who has had the earnest support of The Republican. enjoys the distinction of leading all other candl- dates for mayor and commission in the field.
 The vote though a good one, was not quite so heavy as The Republican believed would be cast If our expectations in that respect had been realized we feel confident that the Good Government League ticket would not merely have been nominated but would have been elected, obvatng the necessity oI q general election.
 The result has been most gratifying to The Republican and has demonstrated the great interest which the people have taken in the new form of government. It is earnest that the interest of the public will be maintained and that a Watchfui eve will be kept upon those whom we place ID charge of affairs.

The Bandit Castillo

Civilization has been heard to make some com piant of the manner in which General Francisco Villa has treated captured prisoners. General Villa has admitted that he acted impusively though not differently from victorious Mexican comma nders in the past He has promised adopt hereafter nine teenth century methods of But in the event of the capture of the bandit Castillo which has been reported, sincerely trust General Villa will suspend his work of self reformation until Senor Castillo has been disposed of and that he WI treat the people of Fl Paso del Norte, it's winter guests and the residents of Juarez to a public execution We would suggest that General Villa substitute the Castillo function for the regular Sunday bull fight which many refined people would not care to see But he would be person an unusual and un- necessary degree of refinement who would find anything repugnant in the bloody taking off of Cas- tlo and his followers
 Castillo is the most inhuman fiend developed in the three-year war in Mexico A long series of crimes has culmnated in sending forty-seven rail- road passengers to their death in Cumbrc tunnel If Villa visits upon Castillo the punishment he de- serves he will remove from himself much of the stain of murder in the killing captured federal officers

The Spreckels Road

We welcome the approach of the Spreckels rail- load, for the construction of which bonds to the amount of sl50Oo00O were authorized yesterday by the California railroad commission The proceeds of those bonds said be sufficient to carry the line to Yuma. The intention of the builders be- yond that point, rather this side of that point have never been made clear We have heard rumors of understanding with the Southern Pacific and negotiations with the Fl Paso X Southwestern but there has far been confirmation of none or them But of one thing may be sure and that IS that the eastern terminus will not rest on the Colorado river and that Phoenix has become too big and promising and sits in the center of too great an agricultural empire to be passed by
 There be but little doubt that the trans continental railway line of which we have dreamed so long will before long become a fact

The winter Wancs and soon the rains of spring will the grasses, and trees will bud and streams in flood will thunder down the passes. Oh spring. sweet spring you dear old thing, for which all men are wishing when can drill OCT vale and hill, spend the long day fishing, Spring comes apace and the face of earth will smile and chuCklc and danes will say to husbands gay TO work get down and buckle. We greet with roars the grist of chores with pshawing and with pshing
 We take pole deep hole and spend the long day fishing. Spring is the time when people climb from age clear back to childhood, when each heart burns and throbs and yearns for open air and wildwood. Spring is the joy without alloy the best the gods dishing. when we can sneak down to the creek and spend the long day fishing!

THEN

Fifty-five years ago today, when Lincoln was celebrating his fiftieth birthday and was with in six years of his death he was so little known to Fame that he did not appear among the bio- graphical books of the day. Two books of 1860. surveying the field of some fifty representa- tive living men" named him only once, casually in connection with the Douglass debate. Begin ming with his first pre- sidential term some inn promptu biographical sketches appeared, most ly in pamphlet form, but it was not until his as s1sSination in 1865 that the flood of Lincoln lit erature began. It con- tinued for half d century at the rate of nearly a score of books d year. including every available word of Lincoln'S own writings.

The Primary

The campaign which has just closed has demon- strated that the direct primary is good sitting process The people have manifested a satisrac- tory interest in it. shown by the heavy vote yesterday, perhaps large vote as will be brought out at general election We may not all please one another by choice candidates, but the fact that so many people have taken part in the choice makes it binding. for it the popular choice
 Especially pleasing has been the interest which the women of Phoenix have taken in the primary The duty which they discharged was one which re- quired some sacrifice It new and therefore not quite pleasant, but it was bravely discharged We do not doubt that the choice which was made yes terday was the better for the part taken in it by the women.
 The machinery somewhat new to all of US hut it worked very well. It will be operated with less friction in the future we trust

Today, if Lincoln were granted tWenty-four years on earth to com plete the Biblical allot- ment of three score and ten he would have to de- vote most of his life eX- tension to reading If he sought to review all that has been written of him. There are today nearly 1000 books and pamph- lets which have appear ed as distinct issues re- lating to the life of Lin coin. Scores of them are in foreign languages French, German, Ital- ian, Japanese and Mod ern Greek-which Lin coin would never be able to read at all. There are also over 1000 title entries to articles in Magazines, covering ev- cry range of his life and character, but he would search almost in vain for traces of that hos tile criticism which he read of himself in his day, so great is the mass of appreciation.
