THANKSGIVING.

Next Thursday is time-honored
Thanksgiving Day and there will he
some joyful family gatherings and, of
course, the feasting which goes with
the day. But never before has there
been so many reasons why many peo.
pie cannot be altogether as thankful
as in former days. There have been
wars and rumors of wars, and though
there has been no war on our soil
the direful effects have been felt by
us all. If in no other way we have
felt the high cost of living and last
and worst of all Wilson has been re-
elected. There may be many things
to be thankful for and doubtless there
are, but isn't there lot we can't
feel thankful for?

ing camps as an aid toward American
izing the immigrant has been sug-
gested by G. Bernard Anderson, Swed-
ish vice-consul at Chicago. Here is
what Mr.. Anderson says:
II think immigrants will get more
of the American spirit by serving for
some weeks side by side with born
Americans than by being lectured or
instructed. It would bring men to-
gether in common movement.
II do not really favor the holding of
meetings in which the difference be-
tween American born citizens and nat
uralized, citizens is emphasized. In
fact, I feel that we ought to get rid
of the hyphen in America at once and
for all time. Any meeting in which it
is a part of the program calls atten-
ton to it. do not really favor any
reference to the term Swedish-Ameri-
can. think every man who came
from Sweden ought to forget the hy-
phen. It is true that those who come
from Sweden have many tender recol-
lections Of the old country and also
that they are among the quickest to
adopt American ways fully and COM
pletely. For the latter reason I should
like to see the Swedish part of the
term dropped. I think it would be
dropped quickly, too, were it not for
some men who try to make political
capital out of it by playing to the
so-called 'hyphenated' vote.
Foreigners in America should be
quietly made Americans through edu-
cational method, by patriotic concerts
in the parks and patriotic meetings on
occasions of national moment. The
group meetings should be discour-
aged."( -
Mr.. Anderson is right. People who
come here and become citizens ought
to- drop the hyphen and become Ameri-
cans in fact. And if this is true how
much more important is it that people
who are born in the United States
should reject any proposals to set
them apart in groups for any reason
or purpose whatsoever
The colored people are citizens for
titled by ten generations of residence
and they should shun any schemes
which segregate them in any way.
Such plans, no matter how alluring,
they may seem are un-American.

" Am A MAN."

DR.. Frank Crane, with whose writ

always says something worthy of con

under the heading, IT am man." he
showed himself to be much of man
for he said, II cannot despise any
human creature because of the acci

IF he is Chinese, with almond eyes
and strange speech and peculiar ways
still he is human"
If he is Negro, with different skin
and hair from mine, yet he is my

Il am a man, and nothing but man
is alien to me-"
He said whole lot more to Justify
his claim II am a man." but nothine
that was more convincing than what
he said concerning the Negro. Few

say this bird has made such headway
here that 1t is driving out the smaller

The Associated Press sends out the
news item that Prince George of Bat.
tenberg, England, was recently
married to Russian countess, Node1a
de Torby, daughter of Grand Duke
Michael Michaelovitch of Russia, a
cousin of the czar. The marriage
was witnessed by the King and Queen
of England and other members of the

has ever produced. Alexander Push

The young Russian countess is the
great-granddaughter of the Negro poet
Pushkin, and is accepted in Euro
