until we have faced the danger of hay-
ing to give it up.
That which we have we are likely to
accept as a matter Of course; but be
deprived of it and the sudden realiza-
ton of its value jars our souls like an
earthquake.
We are thankful In the full sense of
the word for things necessary to life
and happiness only when we have had
to do without them.
We are not thankful for that 20
which we are accustomed and accept
thoughtlessly. But when we are de-
prived of the necessities Of life and
face the hardships, including death
that come as a result, we are thankful
with all our heart.
America has more to be thankful for
yearly, than any other nation in the
world; but our thanks are tempered
by the gravity of the sorrow of cur
neighbors.

Humanity, too, is in process, and
strife and sorrow and death win con

resolutely and meet destiny undis-

This year we viii not be thankful
SO much for the blessings we have re

prodigal Providence-and being re-

Substitute for Strikes.
The creation of some system under
which railway disputes can be settled
without resort to strikes or lockouts
will be one of the great aims OF the
Joint committee OF congress, which
began its long and arduous inyesti

man of the committee, indicated this
at the opening session, when he
characterized the resort to force as
"the most barbaric and brutal OF
processes" and asked aid in finding
substitute.
The department Of justice took
swift and decisive action to defend
the eight-hour law Kansas was Sc
