BEING THANKFUL.

Last year it was easy to be thankful. The
whole, world was happy perforce. The was
over. There were no more guns and deaths and
manned bodies and ruined towns. The world
could breathe and look ahead. This year. the
world is in bitter state of discomfort and petty
fretting. Everybody to have his mind on
money and luxury, and getting something out of
the other fellow. And nobody is happy.
1t is time to sit down soberly and count one $
blessings 1t is time forget the raise one hasn
got and remember the salary one has. Last year
the flu raging. This year it is heard of only
in isolated cases, and those not severe
The first Thanksgiving was established to
show gratitude for a plenteous harvest Never
was harvest SO bounteous this year. True, we
pay heavily for food But we have the food Not
one, in this land at least is starving And no one
abroad need starve. There is food enough in the
world to feed all mouths and to spare
The Bolshevist menace has proved flash in
the pan. Loyal Americanism will have none of it.
The French have shown the same spirit in their
elections. So have the people of Italy The Reds
have it in their power to cause much annoyance,
as vermn do when they get even the smallest hold.
But we know them for what they are, and have
started to clean out their nests
there is deeper spiritual feeling everywhere.
Perhaps that fact is responsible for some of the
hettlng. People realize vaguely that the goods of
this world do not satisfy. They are in the position

Listen, too, to the children. Life is wholly
normal to them. Drumsticks and cranberry sauce
and being good for Santa absorb them The future
cannot be hopeless in the hands of that sturd,
brood.
The world is a good place, after all. The sur
shines and the stars keep their serene places AL
the world needs is to put itself in the attitude O
thanksgiving and presto, the troubles cease

SLIDING PRICES FOR COAL.

1t is recognized by everybody who has given
any thought to the matter that the problem of
miners working hours is serious one In normal
years the miners do not work more than two-thirds
of the possible working days Naturally they would
rather work steadily for fewer hours day, than
remain subject to long period of complete idle
ness, with their incomes cut off
o The miners insist that it is to stabilize their
working time and make their employment contin-
uous throughout the year, and for no other reason
that they have asked for the sixhour day and five
day week. Even if it be granted, however, that
they sincere about it and that enough coal could
be produced under that plan, and that the cost of
production would not be unduly raised it is ques-
tionable whether the plan is practical 1t seems to
be tacklng the problem from the wrong end
What good is it going to do to keep produc-
ing the coal right along, if the public will not buy
it right along? That would necessitate the storage
of vast quantities during the dull season, for use
when the coal market becomes active.
Clearly, if the demand for coal could be stab
ilized, it would accomplish the object more natur-
ally, economically and effectively Dr. Van H.
Manning director of the United States Bureau Of
Mines, believes this could be done by the establish
ment of sliding scale of rates on coal There
would be summer rates and winter rates, or posi-
bly, rates adjusted to all the four seasons, fixed by
governmental authority. Coal would be made so
much cheaper in weather and so much dearer
in cold weather that consumers would be driven to
take advantage of the low rates while they were in
force. Thus the dull season would vanish, the
miners would be kept employed steadily and the
burden placed the railroads would be equalized
throughout the year.

distributed through the mails, all printed in recent

From anarchist publication: The senile
fossils ruling the United States see red Smelling
their destruction, they have decided to check the
storm by passing the deportation law affecting all
foreign radicals. Do not think that only foreigners
are anarchists. We have great number right here
at home. Deportation will not stop the storm

THE VAGS.

NOV the times are bleak and chilly for the
homeless Weary Willie there's no light in
any window for the bo all the Rum Holes are
abolished and no barkeep, bland and polished,
sets the tall and foamng schooners in row.
There's no welcome for the vagrant when he
comes, all soiled and fragrant. and requests a
handout at the door; we have cut out careless
giving chastened by the cost Of living, and we
don't distribute wienies any more. So the
Weary Willie journeys from the home of rich
attorneys to the squalid huts of poets all in
vain; no one hands him pies mullins, the
other standard stuf1n's, and he standing, pale
and empty, in the rain Even at the village
prison. where a welcome once was his n, he is
held to be nuisance and a FROST for he adds to
our expenses, and the situation tense it, when we
strive to make reductions in the cost. There's
no welcome for the Willie, and superstition
silly seems to gain fresh momentum every
day; people say he ought to labor like his honest
plodding neighbor, ought to earn his right to
victuals and the hayl
