THANKSGIVING.

President Wilson in his Thanks
giving Proclamation makes no at
tempt to recount the specific things
for which the Nation at this time has
cause to be grateful. Had he par
ticularized doubtless he would have
given the result of the Second Lib
erty Loan a prominent place among
those things for which the Nation
should be thankful.
For the great result of the Second
Liberty Loan campaign, with nearly
100000 Americans rallying to the
financial support of the Nation and
subscribing over four and a half bill
lion dollars for the purchase of Lib
erty Loan Bonds, is a cause for deep
thanksgiving in the heart of every
loyal American.
II President Wilson says the Nation
should be thankful that we have been
given the opportunity to serve man
kind as we once served ourselves in
the great day Of our Declaration of
Independence by taking up arms
against the tyranny that threatened
to master and debase men every
where.
So, too. can all subscribers to the
Liberty Loan be thankful that they
have been given an opportunity to
aid in this great mission of America
and have done their part toward CIV
ing to the world liberty and justice
and security from the tyranny that
threatens to master and debase all
nations and all men,
Every purchaser of a Liberty Loan
Bond has struck blow for human
liberty and for civilization and hui
manity. Let them remember this on
Thursday, the 29th day of November,
and be thankful.

A Sober Country To Support A Sober
Army.

A plea for political unity in sup
port of national prohibition, so that
a sober nation might support sober
army, was delivered by ex-Secretary
of State William Jennings Bryan be-
fore an audience which filed the
Metropolitan Opera House, Philada.,
Sunday.
Mr.. Bryan warned both the Re
publican and Democratic parties that
they could not afford to ignore ma
tional prohibition and that neither
could afford to permit the other to
sponsor it alone. Therefore, he de-
clared, he was glad it had become a
political issue, and asserted at the
conclusion of his address that so
much was it part of politics that
should it be supported properly by
those who have carried on the fight
against liquor for so many years,
even "brewery-ridden Pennsylvania
would not vote against it" when the
Federal amendment is brought be-
fore the House at the next Congress.
Aside from his plea for united
political support for national prohi-
bition, the argument which won the
favor of the audience more than any
other was that which he based upon
patriotic grounds
He declared the nation could not
afford to permit food resources to be
wasted in the manufacture of intoxi-
eating drink. He said that, while
the Government has taken steps to
prevent this in the INSTRUMENTATION
bill, the fact that the brewing of beer
was not prohibited by that measure
was lamentable because it has been
demonstrated that twire the amount
of foodstuffs go into beer than into
s'irituous liquor
Another reason why it is lament
able" he declared, sis the fact that
brewers spend more monev to cor
rupt the Government than do the
distillers, and you need not go out of
your own State of Pennsylvania TO
find the biggest criminals. People
do not begin to drink with whisky.
They first go to beer kindergarten
and then graduate to a whisky uni
versity. The brewery and the dis
tiliery have been such boon COM
panions that they should die together
and be buried in the same grave"

GOVERNMENT MAY FORBID I'M
PORTATION OF POTATOES.
Quarantines Are Contemplated Be-
cause of Presence of Injurious

Importations of sweet potatoes
and yams from Porto Rico, Hawaii
and all foreign countries may be for
hidden by. the government, according
to information received by the Mary
land State College Extension Service
from the United States Department
of Agriculture. Public hearings we're
to be held on the subject at the De-
partment of Agriculture in Washing
ton November 20.
Guarantees are contemplated be-
cause of information that two injur-
ious insects, the sweet potato root
borer and the sweet potato scarabee,
not widely prevalent in the United
States, occur in Porto Rico and
Hawaii; that sweet potato weevils
occur in Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica,
British Guiana, India, China, Cochin
China, Friendly Islands, Sumatra,
Formosa, Philippine Islands, Aus
tralia, Madagascar and Liberia; and
that the sweet potato scarabee occurs
in. the Barbados, Antigua, Nevis, St.
Vincent, st. Kits, Jamaica, Brazil,
New Zealand, and Guam The in
sects referred to are described as
very destructive to sweet potatoes
and yams"
Total importations of sweet pota-
toes and yams during 1912 to 1916
inclusive was 40,27S bushels. OF
these importations 81 8 per cent
came from Cuba.

Amount OF The Second Liberty Loan.
The amount of the Second Liberty
Loan subscriptions which will be ae-
cepted~ is $S.SOS, 766.150, which is
the $4,000, 100000 offered and one
half of the oversubscription of ap-
proximately "a per cent.
Secretary McAdoo states, in answer
to inquiries, that the full amount of
the subscription will not be accepted
for the reason that the Government
must not alter the basis upon which
the issue of bonds was offered; that
the banks and the public have adjust
ed themselves to the basis of the
offering as originally made; and that
it would be extremely unwise to alter
that basis after the subscriptions
have been received.

SHAME UPON PROSTITUTE PRO

THE LECTURERS OF Pop
ISH PROPAGANDA!

Dear Sir: l am sending you clip
pings from this mornings Examiner
(Hearsts), and Tribune Progressive
organ) containing Jos SCOTS TRADE.
AS this is the home Of this Eng
lish born son of a Scotch Presbyte-
rian father and Irish Cath Olic
mother and as these papers give
his speech more fully than any other
papers than you have ever read be-
fore, probably; | am sending them
to you in hopes that you may desire
at some future time to show him up
in his true coIors by his own words.
The list of names appended to his
Outburst contains those Of many
Protestant CD ministers and truck
ling politicians who are not Cath
0lics The speech was delivered in
The Shrine Auditorium, the largest
in this city, and was extensively adj
yertised for several weeks previous.
| heard this individual make one
of these same speeches III Fort
Wayne, Indiana, about one year ago.
In that case he was introduced by
Protestant judge, who stated IN MS
rambling Introductory that there was
very little difference, after all, be
tween the belief of the Protestant
and the "papist.' l could see this
did not set we'll on Scott and the
numerous "Fathers," among them
old daddy Noll; so when Scott was
about through his eulogy Of the
Catholics in general, and the Irish
in particular, hs said "The diff
ference between our faith and that
of the separated brethren is deep ana
fundamental, but that is no reason
why we should not live in amity,
etc" This was said significantly and
the Fathers" recognized it instantly
but the sleepy Protestants were
sweetly oblivious. In that meeting,
as the one last night, Scott was given
a respectful hearing-eVen enthusl-
astic-but at the time Of the Fort
Wayne meeting, Leyden was being
mobbed at Haverhill, Mass. See the
difference.
You can see how these pussillani-
NOUS papers boost such rot. The
shame of it is, that a great many
persons who have nothing in common
with Catholicism are led astray by
these willy sc0undrels.
