THANKSGIVING DAY 1918.

The president has proclaimed Nov.
2S Thanksgiving Gay.
This Thanksgiving comes closer to
the original day than the years be-
TWEEN: for that day was one of genuine
Thanksgiving for perils escaped and the
outlook of a new promise. In the his
tory OF this nation there have been
several Thanksgiving days that carried
true Thanksgiving. the Thanksgiving
that followed the close of the civil
war was one OF these. And this
Thanksgiving will approximate the re-
lief and deep thankfulness of that time
and Of that earlier time when those
who had escaped wreck and starva-
ton and the deadly menace of savases
inaugurated the day we shall cele-
brate SO devoutly on the twenty eighth
Of this month.
Some Of the boys will DE Hone to
keep this Thanksgiving with us: but Of
those who can not come the assurance
of their safety and the foreknow1eore
that they will soon be with US again
will rest upon the day like sunshine.
The world SO clouded a few days age

world. glad place to live, in: anc
life has taken on a new worth. Again

LESSONS OF THE ELECTION
Davenport Democrat

There were two very significant
things in connection with the recent
election.
One was the defeat Of Senator Weeks
of Massachusetts. a man who at one
time candidsted for the presidency but
who is now to retire to make way for
the first democratic senator which
Massachusetts has elected for SIS YEA rs
His retirement shows that the DAYS
az the stand patters are passing. even
in staid old Massachusetts.
The other significant thing was the
loss Of both houses Of congress by the
democrats While the presidents let

il was largely due 10 the prevailing
