THANKSGIVING

There's much, on this Thanksgiv-
ing, we should be grateful for, al
though we now are living beneath the
shade of war. Though we may push
the dagger in foemen, to the hilt,
when from the scrap we stagger,
therell be no sense of guilt. We did
not start to scatter the blood around
in showers, no treaties did we shat
ter, the rough-house is not our. The
trouble we evaded so long the neigh
bors cried that dollar lust had faded
ourcourage and our pride. Not to i'm
pose our kultur on other natios'
schools do we ply catapult or the
other deadly tools. Not that cur own
bounds may widen to take in neigh
bors' lands, do we to war go ridin',
with pitchforks in our hands. Not
that our hearts are burning with hate
for Wilhelm's hordes, do we begin a.
turning our stoyehooks into swords.
With peace again is reigning, and it
seems as good as new, there'll be no
shamed explaining for Uncle Sam to

Who's always sure he's right,
Who'll never head another plan
And seek to further light;
But like more the chap who sings
A somewhat different song;
Who says, when he has messed up

That he has lost the fight or way

The Germans expressed great indig-
nation when our allies sent aeroplanes
to lombard F'reiburg. From their
viewpoint evidently it was quite proper
to drop bombs into unfortified English
villages. 1t would be entirely in ac-
cord with Teutonic methods and ideas
if when an American army is sent over
it should include a few regiments of
Indians armed with tomahawks and
scalping knives.

In the whole course of history no
man mas ever made so great a mistake
as the German kaiser. Milton pictured
such mistake on the part of an angel
when he described Satan's revolt in
heaven. But the annals of men will be
searched in vain for a parallel.
If there was any nation which al
ready had a place in the sun and
which was enjoying The freedom of the
seas. 1t was Germany. Her flag was
found in every port. Her foreign and
domestic commerce were growing by
leaps and bounds. Not only was there
no discrimination against Germany in
the tariff laws of protection" coun-
tries. but unusual opportunity for
trade was hers in the vast area where

PROGRESS OF SUFFRAGE.

Nebraska has joined the ranks of
states in which women will vote for
president of the United States in 1920.
They have been falling into line rap
idly in the past few months.
Last fall women participated in the
presidential election in twelve states,
helping choose 81 electors; in all but
one state-Illinois-th possessed full
suffrage. If the suffrage situation
were to undergo no further change be-
fore 1920. women to the number of
approximately 100000 would vote
for president in eighteen states and
help choose 164 electors. Yet when
full election returns came in last No
vember showing the defeat of suffra ge
in South Dakota and West Virginia, its
opponents predicted that it was at a
temporary standstill.
Michigan has twice defeated suf-
frage in a popular election, in 1913 by
some $4,000 votes, but in 1912 by less
| than 1000 out of nearly half million
cast. The example of her neighbors,
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, has been
irresistible. Who can say that the ex-
ample of the four will not prove ir-
resistible before 1920 in Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota also?
Looking back upon the history of
the suffrage movement, says the New
York Post, the grant by the Illinois
| legislature of a partial suffrage in 1913
is seen as perhaps it's most momentous
| landmark. With every grant by an
other state of woman suffrage in the
presidential elections, the demand of
women in neighboring commemorative
for an equal voice in national affairs
becomes harder to withstand.
