A REAL THANKSGIVING

Thank God for everything within yoI that bids
YOU remember Him. in this day Of vanity, dis
trust and despair belief in God is a real blessing
Pause for one day in the eager rush for wealth
and pleasure. On this Thanksgiving Day remember
the Giver Of all good. Wait not for the approach
of the midnight darkness of your life before you
turn to Him. Praise Him with grateful heart
for manifold mercies you have received while mil
lions suffer prvation and millions mourn their
dead
In our distnctivey American Thanksgiving
Day, stronger note Of gratitude should appear
this year than ever before. Half the worlds pop
ulation is involved in war; are blessed with
peace. Harvests in many lands have been devas
tated to our lot have fallen tremendous crops. In
other lands there are few homes which have not
sent father son or brother to the battlefront many
never to return.
In our own favored land happy fresides remain
undisturbed and unbrOken. Enjoying the bless
ings of bountifu harvest and uninterrupted peace
why should not all the people of America assemble
in their places of worship and devouty give thanks
to Almighty GOdY
The war has turned the people of Europe to the
churches in a marked degree In time of great
danger the mind of man instinctively looks to God
for guidance and help. Should those who nave
been favored with mercies unnumbered be slower
in giving God thanksgiving than those in distress
are in petitioning for help?
With lessened sense of duty toward the church
and with a growing disposition to make the
Thanksgiving weekend holiday time, more peo-
pie absent themselves from church than ever be-
fore. Yet there has never been time when peo
pie needed the help of the church more than in
these intense days.
Why not observe Thanksgiving Day this yeai
by crOwding the churches in a spirit of real revvr
ence and vOtiOn?-Leslie's

TIME INDICATING TAFT.

And while we are treading along gngery and

to be drawn into the European war it is also well
to remember that it is quite possible-had vengefuI

MEAT OF THE FUTURE.

We have learned to speak of the

tempt The Belgian hare craze seemed
to have no economic basis. But in Ger

business, and the demand for rabbit
meat has tripled the price in five years.
Doctor Raebinger, an eminent scien-
fist sso'iated with the German Agri-
cultural association, has published an
analysis which shows the flesh Of the

meats. The rabbit resembles the sheep
in the fact that his coat is consider

 KEEP ID ACC.
Petition Filed With Corbor- ation Commission Object ing to Actions of Body in Matters of Rate Getting and Making

Declaring that it is time to give business a rest, and to leave the de- tails of railroad operation to the managers, over fifty. business men of Tucson have united in a petition to the corporation commission pro- testing against the actions of that body. It is stated that the protest is he result of the recent, order of the commission reducing thesrates on flouE,s. Whieh i. is, claimed, will result in sthe closing down of the Eagle Mills at TucsoI.
 The petition states the belief that the construction f another trans continental line of railroad and the building of the line between Tue son and Phoenix is being retarded if not actually prevented by exist ing laws and fear of orders of the commission, and expresses the opin- ion that there has been too much of politics and too little business in public affairs for the past two years It is clearly aimed at the re-opening of the three-cent fare case, after the decision of the supreme court, and deprecates all such action on the part of the corporation commission.
 The flour rates in question go into effect August 1, and will cut exist ing rates almost in half from points in Kansas and Colorado. The differ ential between wheat and flour rates to Tucson will under the new ruling be seven cents, and this it is claimed will be insufficient for the Eagle Milling company to operate at pro- fit.

LEAH KLESCHNA TELLS
 L|NOsAYEQUE STORY

Judge B. B. Lindsey, the famous justice and criminologist, holds views radically different from most of those, who in a legal capacity, are supposed to administer justice to criminals.
 Judge Lindsey declares that hu- man nature is the same in every breast, and that if the right appeal is made to people who go astray, there is always chance to lead them into the light
 This humane theory is advocated in the famous play, Leah Klesch- na," by the noted dramatist, C. M. S- Mcclellan and produced in motion pictures by the Famous Players Film Co. Leah has been taught to steal from childhood by her father, the master thief of France. In attempt ing to commit a robbery at the house of Paul Sylvain, thes deputy of France, she is caught in the act by Sylvain, who, instead of treating her as a thief and turning her over to the police, has an extraordinary ln- terview with her.
 Svlvain. like the Denver judge, does not believe in the severity with which criminals are treated by law he has faith in the innate goodness of human nature, and this faith IS strengthened by Leah's confession that she knows it is wrong to steal and of her hope to go somewhere away from her father and his eVil associates. begin life anew and for get the past
 An adroit complication is here in- troduced. which is one of the effec- tive points of the play and which |intensifies the climax toward which is drawn the brother of the glrl who is to marry Sylvain, returning from a drunken spree enters Syl- vain's apartment and steals the jew els that Leah Kleschna had intended to take.
 The doubt as to whether Leah hao taken the jewels after all is eventu- ally clarified by the discovery of the
 guilty person, and Leah, now a re- generated woman, marries Sylvain and receives the jewels that had in- troduced her to her new life as 8
 wedding gift.
 The moral is strong, and power. fully illustrated, Carlotta Nillson's

CLERKS MAKE
 MERRY FIRST
 HALF HOLIDAY

The "clarks,' they did make merry at Riverside yesterday.
 But they did it differently.
 Not since the outdoor sports, called picnics, were instituted by Picnicholas. the ancient Athenian philosopher. has there been such a fine, large, salu- brious open-air time as was had yes terday to celebrates the first halliday of weekly freedom of the thousands of store workers of Phoenix. Spe- cial attention is here called to the eating accessories, which consisted of barbecued meats and things.
 At a fairly early afternon hour the Riverside park began to take on the appearance of popular meeting place for everybody and his wife and his own and his neighbors fami- lies. Promptly at o'clock when the tables, set under the trees back of the bath-house, had taken on the ap- pearance of cyclone zones right after 1 o'clock, the judges and the rest of the officials called the competitors into the roped arena.
 
 Vie Hanny and Charles Korrick The said starter was Francis "Bilr' Geary. The clerk of the course was Scoop Of course, there were other officials, but none of them are absolutely nee essary to this story. It might be pos sible to stretch things and bring in Rhinehart, the prize distributor. He is the reason there are no results in the paper this morning. You see, l Rhinehart came around to the clerk, and he said in this manner: Gimme your records. There's a i million kids and fat men and skinny | ladies over there hollering for their prizes, and l gotta give um to um.' The records were turned over in an l obliging manner, and a plain. white envelope, and they have not been ! hearn tell of since.
 But they were some fine, fast events, at that. Never was there less tedious waiting between a fat mans race and a three-legged potato | pie eating contest Even when the | fat WOmens race was called there was a prompt response. The free-for- all womens race of fifty yards drew | absolutely the largest field of entries ever seen in the vicinity of Phoenix When it came time to have pie ! consuming competition but three overalled youngsters showed up. One was early disqualified for using one hand to dig a piece of crust out ol his left eye, so the race was narrowed 1 down to two. It was bad enough be- fore, but after this concentration oi attention, it grew worse Neither ol the kids should have received prizes for they put much more pie on theil faces than they put into 'em. After the field sports there were | swimming races, and a prize waltz and some more to eat, and moro swimming, until a late hour in tho evening. Even at a sinfully late houl did all this continue, and the man agement of the park says it nevel had such big and such q totally good -natured crowd in it's place be fore.

the state of Arizona depends largely, if not entirely, on more population, more capital and more transportation facilities.
 We believe that the construction of another trans continental line and the immo diate construction of that part of the line between Tucson and Phoenix is now being stifled, if, not actually prevented, by exist ing laws and by fear of unfavorable rulings and orders of the corporation commission.
 The recent notification by the supreme court of adverse railroad laws relieved temporarily at least, a condition of unrest which was most hurtful to the business inter ests of this section, if not the en- tire state We deprecate your ac- tiOns in undertaking to revitalize these laws, and cannot understand why at this time, with business af- fairs in bad shape and business men and industries suffering largely be-
 cause of unwise laws and unwhole-
 some agitation you undertake to ere ate a further agitation and unrest
 particularly on the eve of a state election.
 Is it not about time to give busi-
 ness a rest and let business men. re- cover lost ground, and leave the de- tails of operation of the railroads to the managers?
 If any citizen or class of citizens feel that any particular rate or rates are excessive, they will ask you to investigate, but we cannot see why the, corporation commission should of it's own volition, or through the
 instrumentality ofF- any member
 working in his individual acapacity agitate these questions, particularly at this time when every line of .busi-
 ness is suffering from excessive unwise and unWholesome regulation and legislation.
 In our opinion we have had toe much politics and too little bushes: in our public affairs during the two years last past, and we think ir the interest of all concerned it is
 time to protest openly and frankly against a continuance of such con. ditions.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT
 HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Two Mexicans With Shotgun Run
 AfouI of Wrong Man.

What was undoubtedly a bold at tempt at highway robbery was neatly frustrated on Snuth Central avenue, just inside the city limits, late last night, and resulted in the landing of enc man of the two making the at tempt in the city jail. The arrest of both men had been accomplished by Ivan McCann who in company with another man was riding towards Riv- e.side Park, and the machine had been headed for the police station when one of the men, despite the fact the car was running at more than fifteen miles an hour, jumped to the road, rolled over two or three times and managed to make his escape.
 McCann and his companion were driving south when two MeXicans ran out in front of the car and call ed loudly to them. They brought the machine to StandStill and the men without waiting for an invitation, jumped on the running board. They ordered McCann and his companion to continue on their way. About this
 
 time McCann caught sight of a shot gun which one of the men had been concealing alongside of his leg. About the same instant the man at tempted to raise the gun, but Me Can succeeded in grabbing the bar rel The Mexican then tried to raise the trigger but only succeeded in throwing out the single shell in the breech.
 McCann, who is an officer as well as member of the fire department, | drew his own gun and ordered both men to throw up their hands. They compiled and then McCann ordered 1 the driver to turn the machine and start for the city hall. The machine i had proceeded but a short distance when the two men turned on McCann and attacked him. The drive- of the machine was unable to bring the ma chine to a stop before one of the men had broke from McCann and jumped to the road. The other man was l landed in the city jail and his shot
 gun held as evidence. He gave the
 name of B. Contreras.
