The survivors weresR Robert A Beers J. Q. Roper, C. F. Ho1comb, Frank s. Slos- son. Charles c. Watson, Edward M Smith, John L. Semers and Wilbur w Judd,e who; had as guests Attorney B. F. Hall sDr. B. D. Sheedy, w. B. Powell and w. M. Richardson. The log of the cruise was read tosthes com pany by Logkcepers Judd. which was 3 startling revelation to the party who were on the cruise and who never dreamed that such things as recorded had happened. More things happen ed than the reading of the log, and there were some etoasts drank to the memory of the crew who were swept overheard. During a moment of recklessness the mem bers voted to go on another cruise.

THE TEMPER OF FRANCE.

Great division of opinion prevails at Paris regarding the treatment be- ing given Napoleon Bonaparte. M. DarnonviI1e reproaches with base ness and sycophancy those who flat ter the court: Its a, disgrace he says, ito rejoice when the. blood Of 1000 Frenchmen was still reeking-" The reproach is angrily retorted. The Independent accuses the Journal de Paris of denouncing good citizens yes, replied it's editor as Cicero de- nounced Cata1ine and Verres.

SHOULD WE PREPARE

Should the army be doubled?
Should the navy be enlarged
to twice its size?
Should schools be made mill
tary instruction government de-
partments?
Should American people in
augurate demand for prep
aredness that Congress cannot
ignore?
These are few of the ques-
lions which the National .Securi-
ty League is urging upon Amer
lean people and newspapers of
the country in an effort to stir
up public sentiment in favor of
"a call to arms against war"
The Security League is form
ing branches in every big city of
the country, and enlisting the
help of prominent men in the
movement. Among these are J.
Stuart Blackton, of the Vita
graph film company, who has
written and produced a remark
able feature film called "The
Battle Cry of Peace" which is
playing to crowded houses SIM
ultaneously in New York, Boston
and Chicago. The story of the
film is based on Hudson Maxim's
book 'Defenseless America"
and the performers include Adj
miral Dewey, Major Leonard
Wood, DR.. Lyman Abbott, Hud-
son Maxim, 800 members of the
G. A. R. rs, 0O0National guards
men and many others. 1t is the
most remarkable peace through
preparedness propaganda ever
launched in this country. 9th
ers interested in the movement
are Senator Warren G.. Harding
of Ohio, former Congressman
Nicholas Longworth, Speaker
Champ Clark of Missouri and
United States Senator James A.
O'Gorman, of New York. Sen
ator Harding believes the navy
especially should be strengthen
ed by larger submarine force;
that the army be doubled and
practical method provided for
educating officers for available
volunteers. Others go even far
Their in recommending an army
twice as large as the present one,
the addition Of a large serted di-
vision and the institution of
compulsory military service.
What would happen to America,
they point out, is wildly shown
in the film 1.-THE Battle Cry of
Peace" by the bombardment of
New York, the failure of our So
called coast defenses and the
utter inability Of our army to
cope with the invader.

The old homestead is all alive
today. Father and mother have
been. anticipating for nearly the
entire month. Day by day some
little preparation has been going
on, until there seems nothing
more to do but to wait. 1t is
very quiet on Thanksgiving day
morning. Grandma stirs around
lively but silently. Occasionally
a tear steals down her cheek as
she fixes the places around the
table. just as many places as
last year, but one less to fillthem.
Then comes grandpa, and she
brushes away the tear and in a
moment the dear, sweet face is
lit up with smiles. They'll soon
be here, grandma, and the house
will not be so still. Yes, there
are. Jim and Jennie, little Madge
and Charlie the sweet little fell
low; and there is John and Mary
with the four children-mv how
they've grown. Frank is almost
as tall as his pa, and Kate-I
declare half a head taller than
her mother. Come in, come in,
heaven bless you, children The
silence of the old home is broken
and gives place to merriment as
in days agone because Thanks
giving time is here. The above
is but a brief picture sketched
of hundreds of American homes
because it is Thanksgiving.

MUSIC ART AND DRAMA

The older our country gets, the
more leisure the young folks
have to acquire culture. They
begin to understand music and
to talk about pictures and paint
ings, and to discuss the drama.
Children learn something about
these subjects now in the grade
schools, while they are learning
how to spell-and even though
they do not go to high school and
college they like to be able to talk
-intelligently with other educated
people about such subjects.
After all, we get most Of our
education out of reading. The
magazines contained in the club
which we are offering with our
paper contain just such interest
ing and useful information. They
are liberal education in them
selves.

How to Prevent Croup.

It may be surprise to you to learn
that in many cases Group can be pre-
vented. Mrs. H. NJ. Johns, Elida, O.,
relates her experience as follows: "My
little boy is subject to Group. During
the past winter ! kept a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the
house, and when he began having that
croupy cough would give him one
or two doses of it and it would break

it is safe and reliable" Sold by

ARE YOU EDUCATED?

A professor of the University
of Chicago has evolved a series
of test questions for the educat-
ed which, he avows, are the best
evidence of a real education. If
you can answer Eyes" to all the
questions you are truly educat-
ed, the professor says. Here
are the questions:
Has education given you SYM
pathy with all the good causes
and made you espouse them?
Has it made you public spirit
ed?
Has it made you a brother to
the weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them7
Do you know what it is to be a
friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man
or pure woman in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in
little child?
Will a lonely dog follow you in
the street?
Can you be high-minded and
happy in the meanest drudgeries
of life?
Do you think that washing
dishes and hoeing corn is just as
compatible with high thinking
as playing or golf?
Are you good for anything
yourself?
Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world
and see anything but dollars and
cents?
Can you look into a mud-pud-
die by the wayside and see a
clear sky?
Can you see anything in the
puddle but mud?

Each year of life is fraught
with many changes, and many of
them sad ones. Yet blessings
of sunshine have fallen, as well
as the tears, from the clouds. It
is not best to live in the past,
whatever it be. Better gather
up the sunshine of the present
or let the hope for better things
add mite of comfort for today.
If there is much to make yousad,
lose yourself in seeking to cheer
another's heart, and make those
around you glad. 1t is always
helpful to think of others rather
than yourself. The greatest sor-
row of any heart can find allevia-
ton in ministering to others.
Real life is to minister rather
than to be ministered unto. Give
cheer and you'll get cheerful. Be
thankful and give praises, and
rejoicing will fill your soul. Sing
the snatch of a song and the sun
beams will play about you. Be
mindful of all this and Thanks
giving Day will be a day of
THANKSGIVING until Thanksgiv-
ing Day again.

REFORMATION.

A writer in the National Mu-
nicipal Review calls attention to
the danger in a multitude of
organizations" and gives an as
tonishing list of leagues, socie-
ties, associations, organizations
and declarations. This multiple
cation of organizations is di-
rect result of the initiative and
referendum and other popular
government ideas. We have
distrusted the state and taken
things into our own hands, with
the result that organizations in
the effort to have our ideas a.
dopted into laws has become
baneful influence. The chief
evil of such organizations, how
ever, is to be found in the multi
plicity of statutes which ex-
press the zeal Of petty groups
and small minorities, and not
the considered judgment Of the
community. Such laws are
largely unenforced or unenfor-
ceable, and they themselves
create an evil far outweighing
the good they were intended to
accomplish, even if that good
were in reality attained. 1t is
q pity that so much civic feeling
is disipated by its diversion
into so many petty channels.
Laws should express the main
stream of community though
and feeling and no more.

The trade territory of a town
is not dependent upon the dis
lance to neighboring trading
points. The trade territory de-
ponds upon the enterprise of
the merchants and the residents
of the town. IF a town does not
reach after the trade, it will
come only as fast as it has to,
and it will grow as it is forced
to. But if the merchants go
after business in the surround
ing country, advertising in
every possible way, and making
good every word Of their adj
vertising, trade will come from
an ever-increasing radius, the
town will gain a reputation for
being awake and it will forge
to the front. It is the men in
the town, and not altogether the
men living within a certain
number of miles from it that
makes the town.

BREEDERS OF CRIME
Able Bodied People Refuse

Aggressive action by the city au-
thorities, the county commissioners
and the commercial club Will prob
ably soon be taken to rid the city OF
Tulsa Of the thousand or more squat
tiers who have infested vacant prop
erty close to the heart Of the city. A
committee headed by Cyrus Avery,
and including Frank Greer and Paul
Galloway, was yesterday appointed by
the commercial club directorate to
act with the county commissioners in
LAYING the matter before the city Off
Gals. The course will probably be to
declare the sQuatters a nuisance and
use the city police force to move
them off.
The section of land neal the pump
ing station and thai part Of the Child
ers estate lying close to the city ceme-
terry have for a long time furnished
the chief places where these INDECENT
people have lived.
Breeders of Crime.
Recently the county commissioners
with the Humane society conducted a
quiet Investigation Of this condition
and they came to the conclusion that
the greater part of these thousand or
more squatters are made up of pro-
fessional beggers, who live off the
county and charity, preferring to do
this rather than work. These COM
munities, ii vas said yesterday, are
merely breeding places for disease and
crime which in the past have been
more or less fostered by the charity
of the county.
1T has cost this county not less0
than 5000 per month and from that
on up to $500 to feed and clothe and
otherwise take care of the people liv-
ing in "squatter town. declared
Chairman Avery Of the county COM
missioners yesterday. And the worst
Of It is that there seems to be no end
to II. These people have found out
they can obtain food from us so they
Just refuse to work, going on the idea
that the county will not let them
starve. When they get sick, they send
for the county doctor and expect him
to work all night with them.
However, We have decided to put
a halt to 1t and as our new county
home and hospital is about completed
we want the city to cooperate with US
