The Joy OF Thinking!
Exemptifed By The
West Palisade Editor
Potsdam Palace Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day was celebrated
at the Potsdam Palace as usual. The
front door was securely locked and
the shades drawn down, but the fami-
~ entrance was wide open Ito the
family.
Self congratulations were freely
passed around, and the hilarity caus-
ed by the entrance of Uncle Sam into
the war was unchecked.
What went on in the back room has
not been allowed to pass the censor.

Lenine and Trosky,

The German Jews, Lenine and
Trosky, are coming to the end of
their tether, and it would not be sur
prising to see them rush back into
Germany to await the end of the war.
They cannot fool all the Russians all
the time. Socialistic ideas have only
to be tried out, to show their fallacies
and while it is very simple way to
get rich by confscating another's
property under the good old rule; the
simple plan of "Let him take who
hath the power, and let him keep who
can"
Yet when the wealth so confiscated
causes cessation of industry-for
why should man work when he is
rich-the inevitable result must be
starvation, stagnation and reduction
to slavery in the end. The Russians
are now finding it out by practical
experience.

SundOgs Again.

The sundogs were again in evidence
one evening last week. Crossing on
the ferry the sight was beautiful.
There were two "dogs" on either side
of the sun, and one "dog" at the zen
it'll. An arc of faint light around the
sun joined the three "dogs" together
and cross was formed directly from
the sun to the three "dogs."
There were just two persons on the
boat noticed this phenomenon, a fur
niture van driver, and the writer.

Real News.

May we modestly direct atten-
ton to the fact that the "Palisad-
ian's" stand on the Bradshaw case
has called forth favorable comment
from this country's foremost news
papers. Among them being the
New York Times, New York Eve
ming Journal, The Evening World,
The New York American and New
York Tribune.
When a daily paper discovers a
piece of real news in a neighbor-
ing weekly, it usually publishes it.

Nature has exerted her very utmost
to cover up all the terrible havoc
that has been done, and it is now q
most beautiful garden. It is abso-
lutely covered with flowers as far as
the eye can reach, and the effect is
most pleasing. The banks of the
old trenches are covered with white
dog daisies, and the vivid red of
great patches of peoples has splen-
did effect. There are thousands of
beautiful mauve sweet scabious and
pink and mauve double peoples. The
loveliest flower to be seen, however,
is the cornfower. 1t is such rich,
intense blue; there are whole fields
of it, and the sight is most glorious.
There are some tall yellow flowers,
very much like mustard, and the red
dish brown seed of the dock plant
adds to the effect. Here and there
are large pools of water, caused by
the shell holes. The trees, too, that
were blown to bits have thrown out
shoots to cover up the ugly stumps.
The. unlevel nature of the ground
adds a great deal to the beauty of
the scene; truly a most lovely wild
garden. Last year it was horrible
inferno; this year a veritable para
disc. 1t proves what the Great Gar
dener can do.

The Canal Question.

The canal question is becoming live
topic in New York papers. It has been
a very much alive topic in this col
umn for some time past. Remem-
Der always in discussing this subject,
the railroads run as private, money
making concerns are always hostile
to canals and invariably choke their
usefulness by obtaining control of
the canal terminal facilities. The
canals must be always free from rail
road influences, unless the Govern
ment itself runs the railroads.
