A Universal Thought.
(Meriden Record.)

The Thanksgiving proclamation issued by Governor Major of Missouri requests that "every citizen, from the humb1est to the greatest, from the poorest to the richest from the non- professor to the Christian, stop wherever he may be on the morning of November 25, and offer thanks and silent prayer to God for His bless ings"
 This is carrying the Thanksgiving idea a little farther than any other chief executive has done, though all the proclamations have been charac- terized by a fervor and sincerity which has sometimes been lacking in the or dinary stereotyped announcements which custom has decreed shall be made annually.
 This year man realizes his impo- tence Because of the tremendous problems confronting him he feels the need of a higher power than any he can muster. The great tragedies en- acted in Europe have shaken him and he seeks expression for a feeling of thankfulness that he has been spared the sorrows of direct experi- ence. He has been torn by the thoughts of suffering entailed, he may have experienced business reverses as a result of the war, but he has not been denuded of relations and friends and he has not seen a country made into a desert by the believing art1l- lery and screaming shrapnel. Truly he has cause for thankfulness 1 and it is not strange that every head l of a state has found it natural to urge a public to give tangible expression. to a universal thought.

WHAT MATTERS POLITICS
 BETWEEN FRIENDS?

Politics or no politics there is a bond of friendship existing between President Wilson and ex-President Taft, the leading Democrat and the foremost Republican of other days To further cement this good will President Wilson has this week an- pointed MT. Taft chairman of the central committee of the American Red Cross, filling vacancy caused by the resignation of General Georre W. Davis who retired on account of poor health. It will be remembered that when Mr. Taft was Secretary of War he was elected President of the American Red Cross Society and served in such capacity while he was President of the United States. When President Wilson went Unto the White House MT. Taft gracefully gave up the presidency of the Red Cross contending that this honor should be conferred upon the man who succeeded him as executive head of the nation. President Wilson was accordingly elected to this post. This marked the beginning of the courte- sies between the two men. If there could be always this warm sympathy existing between big men in oppos- ing parties much of the strife and i'll feeling might be taken out of the American game of politics. And this, we contend, is a consummation devoutly to be wished.

The French Minister of the Colonies announced the other day that Ger man East Africa and a small part Of the Kameruns were all that was left of Africa in German possession. In other words, of the colonial em- pire of 1,12s,69O square miles which was German in August, 1914, all but 4OO 900 square miles has passed into the hands of the enemy. Germany has thus already lost territory cov- ering an area three and one-half times greater than that of her empire in Europe and she seems to be in a fair way of losing the rest.-New York Journal of Commerce.

 II have had more difficulty persuad- ing people that I am not fooling, and all but taken an oath that my name is the same as the rind of the famous fruit, that you could ever imagine" said MT. Peel. "At school a fellow called me lemon peel after he heard my last name was Peel. He thought he was joking. But I went him one bet ter when I explained to him my full Christian name. Then he looked on me as a sort of hero, and ceased joking"
