.S21 Mann: Perhaps He Remembers
(BridgepOrt Telegran1, ]

Tt is amusing,' declares the Hart ford Courant, "to read articles about World-sha Eing crisis that may arise II the Allies sink the peaceful Deut- schland when she has a American on board as passenger. What world shaking crisis resulted from the sink ing of the great Lusitania. when Ger many sent her to the bottom with so many passengers?"
 The greatest crisis that arose. so far as this country was concerned. was lIl the halls of congress, when republi- can House Leader Jim Mann of Chicago. with nine-tenths of his re- publican colleagues, voted to haul down the American flag and surren- der to Germany
 The COurant's memory is too brief It is stalWart republican paper but it has already forgotten the attitude taken by it's own paper in the Lusi- tania matter. Ii would better refer to the files of the Con gressiOnal Record.
 The president of the United States had told Germany that the lives of Americans on passenger ships must hc regarded as sacred. and he had ap- pealed to congress to back him up in his stand. Congress did-a majority of congress- not under republican con- trol. The republicans, headed by James Mann, voted that Germany could sink as many Lusitanias as it liked with Americans aboard. and that America would not regard that as unfriendly
 Fortunately MT. Mann and his colleagues were in the minority and Germany saw the point.

Thanksgiving November 80

President Wilson has formally by
proclamation designated Thursday, No
vember 80, as Thanksgiving Day. The
proclamation reads as follows:
1T has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
of the year in praise and thanksgiving
to Almighty God for His many bless
ings and mercies to US and the nation.
1.-The year that has elapsed since we
last observed our day of thanksgiving
has been rich in blessings to US as a
people, but the whole face of the world
has been darkened by war. In the
midst of our peace and happiness our
thoughts dwell with painful disquiet up
on the struggles and sufferings of the
nations at war and of the peoples upon
whom war has brought disaster with
out choice or possibility of escape on
their part We cannot think of our
happiness without thinking of their
piliful distress.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of Amer
lea, do appoint Thursday, the Both of
November, as day of national thanks
giving and prayers, and urge and advise
the people to resort to their several
places of worship on that day to render
thanks to Almighty God for the bless
ings of peace and unbroken prosperity
which He has bestowed upon our be-
loved country in such unstinted measure.
And | also urge and suggest our
duty, in this our day of peace and
abundance. to think in deep sympathy
of the stricken people of the world
upon whom the curse and terror of
war has 50 pitilessly fallen, and to con-
tribute out of our abundant means to
the relief of their sutferings.
Our people could in no better wav
show their real attitude toward the
present struggle of the nations than by
out of their abundance TO
the relief of the suffering which war
has brought in its train.
"In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed,
Done at the city OF Washing ton this
18th day Of November, IN the year of
our Lord nineteen hundred and sixteen,
and of the independence of the United
States this one hundred and forty first.
woodrow WILSON.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Dispatches this week told of
the sale in Kansas City OF beet
on the hoof at the highest price
on record. No packer, no middle
man. no butcher and no grocery
man got the usufruct of the SALE
The man who got the money was
a farmer or a feeder. He got it
because beef is scarce. Ii there
is any doubt about it, one needs
but go to tn J Government reports
to find out the truth. But the
trouble is, the increase in price
will not stop with this first in
sta4fment. The packer buys the
beef. He finds he is paying high
err wages or that hours of labor
are shorter. He adds his increas-
ed expenses. The railroads trans
port the product. The expenses
of the railroads have gone up.
Trainmen demand and get more
pay. Coal is higher. The rail-
roads add their bit to the original
cost of the beef. When it reach-
es the butcher he passes the in
creased cost on to the broad
shoulders of the consumer. 1t
seems an exceedingly simple pro-
cess, nevertheless the resulting
is none the easier to bear.
There are two ways of remedy
ing the difficulty. One is to raise
more beef. That takes time, of
course, and with the probability
of demand abroad for some
years to come for more than this
country can spare, relief in this
direction will be slow in coming.
The other way is to substitute
other comestibles for meat and
and use less of it, a plan the
American housewife is exceed
ingly loath to adopt. In default
of these two remedies and the
statement is true of all other
commodities it is as idle to talk
of reducing the cost of living,
while everybody is intent on
raising the pay for his share of
work for all that enters into it,
as it is to talk Of swapping gold
for counterfeit dollars.

TO GIVE THANKS.

Called upon to give thanks for
the mercies of the year on Thurs
day, November 80, the people of
the country will observe the salu-
tary day of Thanksgiving and
will assemble in their places of
worship conscious of the great
debt of gratitude they are under
to the Almighty for their pres
ervation from the awful toll of
suffering and of death that the
nations of Europe are paying,
and conscious as we'll of their
freedom from many of the attic
tons that commonly are expert
enced by nations; aside from
those of war?
The day Of blessing is also to
be day of reflection upon the
opportunities afforded the United
States to bring relief to the
afflicted peoples across the seas.
Surely the day should arouse
sentiment of thankfulness for
the mighty blessing of peace and
it surely should create in all a
gratitude and of be-
nevolence. The nation is not
without hardships, but they are
slight as contrasted with it's i'm
munities. And for these all the
people will give thanks.
The outlook is clear for the
moment, but there is no telling
what it will be months hence, so
that Thanksgiving should be
mingled with petition for con-
tinued preservation of the nation.
The American people are more
imbued with the sentiments of
humanity than they were before
the great war; and they know
that their blessings are steward
ship in behalf of the unfortunate.
