Thanksgiving

a MERlCA gives thanks to-day for blessings

that year ago would have been declared

mems lives with the sweet assurance OF
SAT ety and content. Unemployment. with its
twin specters of want and social unrest. has
vanished. or, at the worst. been reduced from
l9l4's almost unprecedented figures TO far
below the average. Enormous oppor-
tunities in commerce. industry and politics

its hopes The United States. if il has the
vision to perceive. the courage to grasp and
the will to do. ma: shape the destiny OF the
world.
Great things. truly. TO swell with gratitude
the heart of the loyal American. Not in
long generation has Thanksgiving Day had IA
finer or truer Significance.
But there is yet another reas III for Thanks
giving. Ii is that in this year OF strife when
a continent rocks under the shock of arms and
Europe's mighty rivers bear Il crimson torrent
TO the sea- when gallant youth is ground in
the hopper and the boarded savings Of the
peoples are melted i'll the lannon's mouth.
God has raised up leader OF this people
who has kept his country out OF war
For sixteen months he has borne on his
shoulders the burdens OF this great nation.
Wisely and temperately. but boldly always.
he has nodded the mad passions of the war
ring litans into the similitude Of justice In
behalf not alone OF his own people bu, OF all
ncutras, he has stood unfinchingy for ncu-
trail rights. Against Britain. as against Ger
many he has proclaimed the principle that
war does not abrogate law His alone the
voice that has demanded respect for those
principles of conduct that enlight enment
through all the ages has wrung from bar
barism: his alone the hand that has held loft
the banner Of civilization. tramped else
where under the hoof of the warLorse and
stained with cruelty and dishonor
He has kept his country out OF war" but
by no ignoble trucking to either faction His
country's interest. right and faith have been
sale with him With fidelity that has been
marvellous, he has spoken time and again with
his peoples voice partisans only have dis
sentcd-men like Roosevelt, on the one hand
and N!ereck, on the other, who place Il for
eign advantage above that OF their own coun-
try. The great mass Of his countrymen has
stood with him from the first and stands with
him to-day
He has kept his country out Of war" but
his eyes are too keen. his brain too clear TO
escape perception that his efforts may not al
ways be successful. Now he bids his people
arm, and again the sentiment Of the nation
is with him

Complains About Tickets.

10 me Editor or The Times Dispatch:
Slr--To what extent is first Grst
served prac,iced in the ticket Offices Of the
atcrs in richmond" 1t seems passing strange
that when application is made for one or more
tickets that the ticket seller presents You with
tho desired number. and the purchaser has no
choice or opportunity To know what seats are
unsold and make selection that suits his
fancy. possibly better than the selection made
by the ticket seller.
The amusement companies may have some
good business reason for their manner Of Civ
ing out tickets. and the public should rot.
perhaps. kick because MIR. Jones is not given
an opportunity to buy seat that he would
like. and Mr.. Smith has trouble in pro-
curing when he applies to the box Office later.
What is done should lie done in the open,
and fairly. and some way offered to every pur-
chaser Of tickets to know every that is I'M
sold and give him an opportunity to make his
selection THEATERGOER.
