seems to have driven millions on the verge of rebellion. A few days ago five million dollars worth of food was discovered in warehouses in San Francisco to be used in war against the poor. Potatoes in some of the states of the Un- ion bring higher prices than in England or France, countries which have been at war for the last two years and half Yet we pray for a cessation of hostilities. Is starving people, better than shooting them? In our opinion, to die of hunger is not bit better than to die of a wound.
 But, we reach the acme of absurdity, when we face the fact that some of our citizens are beg gng to help one set of sufferers while they over look their starving neighbors Why not beg for our own hungry people? Better still, why not stop begging at all, unite and stop the gun war, thus stopping war on our pocketbooks and pre- vent starvation, which is likely to lead to a world wide rebellion.

Why Governor Strong took the stand he did on the final decision of the canvassing board, is puzzling everybody. It is reported that the board unanimously agreed to ask the aid of the attor- ney general for the territory to help the men- bers to clear the difficulties encountered in ar irving at final decision. As it was his duty, the attorney general complied with the request. and gave as his opinion that Sulzer should be de- clared elected delegate. Despite all that the Gov ernor and his right bower took upon themselves the right to judge of the correctness of the opin- ion. Now it's up to the court, and should the court find along the line of the attorney general, we would advise both the governor and his man Friday" to take to the woods.

TOMORROW ELECTION DAY

Tomorrow. the voters of the First Division will be called upon to choose one of two candi- dates for representative to the territorial legIsla- ture. The death of member since the last ei- ection. makes this election necessary.
 About the candidates seeking the favor of the voters: nothing has been said against either, Nor can anything be said derogatory to the'f character. They are known among their friends and acquaintances as men from the ground up. In their home town, the papers have said nothing but praise for both. From that it is evident that the two dominant parties will have clean fight. Il is case where every republican will vote for John Beck. while every democrat will vote for Ike Sowerby. Had there been any dE- ference in the men, either in character or busi- ness ability. the voters would be justified in dis- regarding party lines, but as it is. party voEe must be reckoned with.
 However, with all his ability and uprightness we dare predict defeat for Ike and he has our sympathy Still he has no one else to blame but himself. Really. Ike has no business to be dem ocrat; for, hasn't it been often said that all good men all over the country were republicans--o1 were at one time or other? And most of Us be- leve it.

 will not deny the fact that it looks like war every which way. It does not matter which side one turns. trouble stares him in the face If it isa't war with guns it's war on our pocketbooks. Either way it's death that awaits us--seemingly.

w re CELEBRATE that great
M holiday, Thanksgiving, at
v " this season. In the gay
round Of pleasures the day
always brings, perhaps not one OF us
will stop a moment and seriously look
back over the past year, now rapidly
drawing to close. Many of us-in
fact, all of us-should pause moment
and quietly review the past months.
Perhaps these months brought Us
many trials, but they also brought Us
many blessings. 1t is the blessings we
should itemize and magnify and for
get the crosses. We may sigh dis
contentedly and say. "Well, last year i
had many more reasons to be thank
full than have this year." but If we
are fair and honest with ourselves we
will have to admit that, even II
troubles came our way, the blessings
that followed them were far greater
in number.
Who has not read the story Of that
first Thanksgiving Day2 Fancy
woman in these times enduring the
hardships and worries those strong
hearted New England pilgrims en-
dured; and what a wonderful lesson
in unselfshness they have handed
down to us
Argue and elaborate as we will on
our burdens, we know fate has been
good to us. Life is not all sunshine.
II II were we would very soon grow
tired of life. Disappointments, set
backs, Establishments come to every
one, and we must expect they will
come to us. Indeed, we have no voice
in the matter. They will come to us
as surely as day follows night; but do
we accept them patiently? That Is
another story.
Many women look only on the dark
side of life. whats the useT" they
say dejectedly. Everything l try to
do turns out failure" There is a
tiny breath of selfishness here. "T' is
very prominent In these women's
thoughts. Perhaps II they did some
thing worth while for someone else
their work would be crowned with
success. Doing something for another
has never yet turned out failure.
There isn't case on record showing
where failure has followed kind deed
done for another. Perhaps this other
did not appreciate the efforts taken In
her behalf, yet the fact remains that
the woman who put herself out to
make another woman happy expe'
rienced a wonderful happiness herself
