THANKSGIVING.
Commercial Appeal)
his is one of The Days.


This is one of The Days.
For this is the day when, as a
nation, we gather in the temples
of blessedness and give thanks to
the good God for what He has
done for us.
We look back down long vista
of such days, and our blessings, in
the retrospect, grow year by year
until they are infinite. We have
the blessings Of good government.
of national expansion and
strength, of trade and commerce,
OF harvest yields and prosperity,
civil and religious freedom, Of
country and home and the splen-
fdid Americanism that will save
the nation from the rocks Of dis
sension.
All of these we have, and re-
added to these this day we have
the Peace that has lifted us out
of the trenches of heart-break and
set our feet upon the hilltops Of
hope.
The war is done; the battle
smoke has drifted away, the guns
are cold, the banners-crowned
with victory palms-lift colorful-
ly to the unchanging stars. Our
men, the gallant host that went a.
way to fight like knights of old
and whose valor, blended with the
valor of our allies, has consecra-
ted this day-our men are coming
back to us glad with the gladness
of task achieved. All coming
back except those comparatively
few who rest where
GLORY guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead"
For them, as for the living, we
give thanks today, thanks for their
faith, their chivralry, their high
purpose, thanks that they wore
to the end the red badge of Amer
lean courage. They are not lost,
they are only mot here"
And SO it is today we move into
the House of God with lifted faces
and with eyes that see the Spirit
of Peace gathering into her arms
the new disciples of regenerated
brotherhood as she says for VI
the creed of revivifed love
whose keynote is faith and char
ity.
And kneeling thus we give our
thanks, while every architrave
and f1uted column about us seems
as "a new Memnon singing in the
great God-light."
GLORY to God in the highest"
and for this blessed Peace thank
God, thank God.

TO THE PEOPLE OF RANKIN
COUNTY.

At the close of the First United
War Work Campaign in Rankin
county, it gives me pleasure to an
nounce that the people have given
generously and cheerfully to this
worthy work inaugurated for the
physical and moral well-being of
our gallant soldier boys.
The quota of this county was
4,500.00 and the amount already
reported to me is over $5,200.00.
The splendid success of the
drive is due to the Beat Chair
men, Community Captains and Co.
Workers and to the splendid citi-
zenship of the county.
The ladies' have done their part
well.
Let us all be happy and thank
full that the war is over and that
the boys are returning home,
though we cannot forget the sad
ness and sorrow in the homes of
those who made the supreme sac
rifice.
Let us each year, set apart a
day for all the soldier boys of
the county and their families and
friends, to meet at Brandon and
pay proper respect to the memory
of those who fell.
Sincerely,
SIDNEY L. McLAURIN.

OUR CASUALTIES.

Casualties sustained by the A
mericans have been tabulated by
Gen. March as follows:
Killed and died of wounds,
36,154.
Died of diseases, 1881.
Deaths unclassified, 2,2O4.
Wounded, 179,625.
Prisoners, 2,163.
Missing, 1,160.
Total, 236,117.
While the total losses at first
glance appear to be almost double
the total estimated by officers, a.
nalysis of the table, it is pointed
out, shows that among the 49,
600 wounded are included the
names of thousands of men whose
injuries were so trivial that they
never were admitted to hospitals,
and the record Of their injury was
kept only in company and regi-
mental dressing stations. The fl
nal total killed, died of wounds or
diseases, or on the unclassifed
death list, the seriously wounded
and the prisoners and missing, Of
ficers believe will work out not in
excess Of 125,000.

Judge Martin ]. Wade yesterday
sentenced Lee Lang. editor of the
Nuscatine Socialist, TO two years
In the federal prison and in addi-

COURT LECTURES
MAN WHO CALLED
SOLDIERS FOOLS

1.-THE impression seems to have
become prevalent among GER
tain class of workingmen that the
United States courts are held for
the purpose of convicting those
brought before them. This impress
sion Is absolutely erroneous. The
courts of this nation were instituted
to protect the innocent man On
woman who is falsely charged as
well as to punish the guilty"
United States Judge Martin j.
Wade, Davenport, in deferring sch
tence In the case of Frederick
Mouch, convicted on charge of Sc
dition, thus replied to the Socialistic
and Bolshevik statements that have
deluded a number of toilers.
Mouch, after condcuting his own
defense, spurning counsel, which
the government gladly agreed to
furnish, was found guilty of telling
soldiers in the uniform of Uncle
Sam that they were fools to salute
the flag"
1t was apparent that the court in
tended, if an investigation by the
department of justice warranted it,
to be lenient with Mouch.
you are either of two things"
said Judge Wade when Mouch was
up for sentence You are a dan
gerous man to be at large or there
is something radically wrong with
you mentally. l shall have you de-
tanned in Jail until l can determine
which is the cause. If you can pro-
duce, as you claim, reputable per-
sons who will testify as to your
loyalty 1 shall give you the benefit
of the doubt. You can have such
persons brought before the United
States marshal or his deputy here.
Like a number of persons 1 fear
you have a mistaken conception of
what the courts of the nation are
for. Your attitude during the trial
suggested that you might be listed
among the dangerous class. How
ever, this will be determined later"
Mouch was taken to the county
Jail. He probably will be sentenced
at the special session of court in
June.

too much of the truth This, with
the suggestive titles, is the bait
held out TO the school children OF

There is also advertised a red
hot agnostic paper-the hottest pa
per ever published God pity the

"In addition to the enterprises

mission, has been engaged in SELL

"In many of these cases the court
is lenient, where it is apparent that
some poor, ignarOnt fellow mas

nothing about him which would in
