THANKSGIVING DAY
 WAS WELL ATTENDED

Seemingly in keeping with the spirit of the day, the weather man sent the best in his shop for the nationwide observance of Thanksgiving day"
 Flagstaff observed Thanksgiving very quietly. AS is the custom there was no civic demonstration of the holiday but the court house, post office and practically every business house in town was closed in observance of the day set aside by President Wilson for the offering of thanks to the Al mighty for the favors of the past year.
 Many hunters left early with fair promises to friends of both deer and wild turkey.
 Following the happy custom of gathering around the family board on Thanksgiving, many dinners were ar ranged and altogether an exceedingly pleasant day can be recorded for 1915.

The latest dope coming from

dissatisfied with the enactment Of the
omnibus revenue measure, have intro
duced resolution in the legislature
seeking to cut of the Northern Pan;
handle counties, the grand domain Of
Rosenbloom, and form them into q
new state to be known as Zane"
The seceders promise to pay the
state debt and do a lot Of other char.
liable things for the people Of West
Virginia if the parent commonwealth
will only be kind hearted enough to
cut the parental apron string and let
the Rosenbloomers gambol on the
broad sward Of their own sweet con-
tentment where the Wurtzburger
flows and where the Hatfield policies
will,not interfere with their festivities.
There are some in that locality that

trade cannot, in the nature of things,
continue indefinitely. 1t conduces to
American prosperity while it lasts,
however, and has been the principal
factor in ameliorating the Democratic
hard times.
AS basis of permanent prosperity
it is OF no avail whatever. This ex-
port trade does not even help to pro-
vide the national government with
revenue, because the fathers of the
nation, in their wisdom, forbade the
placing OF any duty on exports. II
this inhibition had-not been embodied
in the Constitution Of the United
States the Democratic administration
would surely not have overlooked the
chance to clap on another tax, to meet
the heavy expenses entailed on the
country by an extravagant congress. ~

rRAnE aALANcE INCREASING.

The people OF the United States con-
ttnue to sell more goods to foreigners
than they buy from abroad, and the
trade balance, which has been in
Americas favor for some time, is in
creasily rapidly. The first two weeks
Of May saw an excess OF exports over
imports valued at ss0,2S3,oo0. For the
month OF April the excess amounted
to $72,s4e,000. The favorable trade
balance Of the United States from De-
cember i, 1914, to May IS, 1915, reach
ed the impressive total Of $741, 150I 900.
These figures show how needless
was the alarm felt last August over
the fact that the United States owed
large sums OF money in Europe, which
fnanciers thought made it necessary
to form a gold pool, for the purpose
Of establishing credit to meet obltga.
lions in London. 1t will be rremem.
bered that the stock exchanges of this
country all closed their doors in order
to destroy the market for American
securities which foreigners were in.
tent upon selling to us. The present
large balance Of trade in favor of the
United States will enable Americans
to buy back any securities which
foreigners may still wish to sell, and
will also permit this country to care
for many Of the requirements to
finance which We have, in days gone
by, depended upon Europe.
It is true that the large expansion
Of foreign demand for American prod.
ucts is the result OF the war. and when
the war ceases the demand for many
things viii lessen and the demand for
some things will cease altogether.

recent manifestations Of popular en-.

written concerning the resp possibility
OF European rulers for rushing their
countries precipita tely into shosttlittes
for purposes Of their own and without
the sanction Of the people: In Italy
the situation seems to be the reverse.
For ten months the Italian populace,
disregarding party alignments with
the exception Of the Socialists, has.
clamored to come to grips with its
ancient enemy. The diplomatic ne

merely delayed matters while tanning,
the flames Of passion. Each additional

with her pugnacious neighbor.

act cause Of the war between Italy and
Austria. The Green Book presents
1taly's side Of the question and at
{tempts to disabuse the world Of the
idea that she is attempting a told-up
game pure and simple. taking advant-
age Of Austria g embarrassments. It
is sought to show that Italy is going
to war to secure the redress Of
genuine long.standing grievances, to
remedy injustices OF which she has
been the victim. Italy charges Aus
tria with bad faith in disregarding
provisions of the Triple Alliance
treaty. Austria, in sending her
original ultimatum to servia that pre-.
cipitated the great war, is accused OF
disturbing the status quo in the Bal
kans and creating a situation OF ad-
vantage to herself alone and injurious
to her ally. Italy says she was not
consulted in that important matter
and her later advice that moderation
be observed was disregarded. Italy
asserts that neutrality on her part be-
came impossible when it was per-
ceived that Austria's object, for which
she had taken up arms, was dtametrtc-
ally opposed to italian interests. This
led to the denouncing Of the treaty Of
alliance by Italy and her declaration
henceforth she resumed entire liberty
Of action.
But the rest Of the world at present
is more concerned with the, effect of
Italy's entrance into the war on the
general situation. There is no deny
ing her efficient state of preparedness
for the struggle. Her months Of
watchful waiting have been probably
employed. She has learned all the
lessons OF modern warfare that have
been developed by the new style Of
fighting. She knows the methods toI
employ, the kind OF equipment that
will prove most effective, For one
thing, she is in ten times2better shape

There is this to be said regarding
the attitude OF iItaly. There is no hypo-
crisy about it. The governments posi-
tion is frankly determined by SELF
interest, It isn't acting on behalf OF
suffering humanity. It Is acting for
the purpose OF getting everything for
Italy that this promising opportunity
offers. Now Japan has followed the
bad precedent set up by most western
nations. It Is taking charge of China
for its own benefit and because It can.
But it fears that such a bald state
ment would shock western suscpetibil1-
ties. So 1t announces that everything
is being done from altruistic motives.
Why not be candid in all such matters?
