Thanksgiving as Usual.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 15.-To the
Editor of The Bee: When you pre-
pared your editorial, which appeared
in a recent issue, regarding Thanks
giving dinners at state institutions,
you doubtless misconstrued the gen
eral letter to superintendents from the
Board of Control. We had no inten-
ton of eliminating the Thanksgiving
dinners or depressing the Thanksgiv-
ing spirit. We endeavored only to
eliminate unusual and special pur-
chases of high priced articles, bought
at the local markets and at retail
prices, when the same result could be
had, namely real and inviting, home
Thanksgiving dinner, by resorting
generally to the storehouses of the diff
ferent institutions where the supplies
are purchased in large quantities at
the most advantageous prices The
following is a model menu prepared
at one institution, which can be equal
led or improved upon in all of them:
Roast beef. corn-fed, barbecue
style; roast pork and brown gravy;
apple sauce; peas; tomatoes; pickles;
cherry pie: dairy milk; brown and
white bread; butter and apple jelly;
coffee or tea"
The above is only suggestion and
may be varied according to the ideas
Of the superintendents and others by
adding almost any article of food car
ried in stock, such as raisins, dates,
canned and preserved goods of all
kinds, fancy crackers, cookies, etc, on
down the list. In many instances.
there will be prepared and served
mince, pumpkin, and squash pies,
cakes, ETC., such as will tempt the ap-
petites and make gladstone hearts of
all partaking thereof
The state larders are full Of the
best obtainable food articles and all
superintendents have been instructed
to have prepared Thanksgiving din
ners "out Of the ordinary" There
will be no stinting, anywhere. AT some
Of the institutions where chickens are
raised, they will be utilized, to vary
the menu These include the Hospitals
for Insane, the Institution for Feeble,
Minded, and the State Industrial
school. Institutions raising apples, or
having them in stock, as most of them
have, will serve them in some attrac-
tive way. The above is but an outline
Of what may be done.
All this can be done from the re-
gular supplies, and it seems to us a
splendid Thanksgiving dinner can be
served-one that even you would ap-
prove of. The saving to the taxpay-
ers by ehis plan-and we are forced
to save more than ever, owing to un-
usual conditions that have arisen
will run into big figures in dollars and
cents, and no state ward even re-
motely suffer mentally or physically
by the change in the menu for this oc-
casion.
Christmas, the usual Christmas din
ners will be served, and candy, nuts,
ETC., as in the past, distributed.
We merely wished you and the pub
lie to understand the facts in the case,
which are as set forth above.

Member, Board
of Control.

Disloyaltg of Strikes
Minneapolis Journal. :

Industrial strife in these times, when the ma
tion is striving to concentrate its energy and
its resources on the winning of the war, is a
species of disloyalty. Every strike involves a
dislocation of industrial processes that more or
less directly threatens our success.
/ When, for example, 1000 Oregon ship building
artisans stay out on strike for FIVE weeks, they
endanger the ship building program which lies
at the very basis of our war plans. So do the
10000 workers on ships and airplanes in San
Francisco, when they remain idle for three wee ks.
The same may be said of the 1000 Arizona min
ers who shut down the copper mines for tour
months.
Whatever the merits of the controversies
with employers that caused these strikes, they
could have been peaceably and fairly settled
without losing single precious hour. So can
be borne that industry should be impeded or
suspended entirely while labor disputes are
settled, though even in peace the strike is a
poor weapon with which to get justice. 1t
wreaks injustice on so many who have no
voice in the decision whether it is to be used
or not.
But with the country at war, with our very
existence as free people threatened, It is hard
to have patience with strikes or with those who
precipitate them, whether employers or employed.
This 81 the workingmar's country just as much
as it is anyones. His interests are just as much at
stake as anyones. His liberties, his opportunity
to rise in the world, his rights and privileges
they have all been thrown into the scales, just
as much as have the similar precious possessions
of the rest of the people.
It is just as important to the workingman
as to anyone else that the industrial machine
be kept going at top speed and highest efficiency.
Only thus is the war to be won. Only thus is
its end to be brought about in the speediest
way. .#, ~

Right In the Spotlight.

Sir John Simon. who has given up
his lucrative practice at the bar and
has placed himself at the disposal Of
the British government, with a view
to serving with the army in France,
has had strikingly successful career,
both as a lawyer and as a statesman.
Educated at Edinburgh and Oxford,
he was called to the bar in 1899 and
became kings counsel only nine years
later. In 1903 he was one of the rep
resentatives of the British govern
ment in the Alaskan boundary arbi-
tration. In 1906 he began his public
career as a member of Parliament
and in the decade that followed he
held office successfully as solicitor
general, attorney general and home
secretary. When the government de-
cided on compulsory military service
in 1916 Sir John resigned as home
secretary and returned to the bar, se-
curing again the enormous fees which
were his before he gave up the law for
politics.
