for Thanksgiving Day?

Are you taking care of the outer man as we'll as you
will the inner man? If you're going for motor
trip for the day, if you're going to stay home, if
you're dining out, if you're dining at home if you're
going to a football game or the theatre-no matter
what you're going to do or where this great stock of
everything and boys has the correct clothes

Woman Killed.

Mrs. j. H. Thompson of West

hour Tuesday morning. Mrs. Thomp-
son had been at, the home of her
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. Dye.
where she had been taking medical
treatment for nervousness for some
weeks. 1t seems she had retired as
usual on Monday but sometime dur,
ne the night she got out of bed, put
on her bathrobe and slippers and
left the house, supposedly asleep. as
she had done on a few occasions be-
fore. She wondered to the Burling'
ton Ry. just ahead of the passenger
train and when warned by the
whistle ran straight down the center
of the track instead of getting of
at one side. Fruitless efforts were
made by the engineer to stop the
train before she was struck.

Capital and Labor Con-

An industrial conference COM
posed of leading representatives of

terests. will convene for a weeks
session beginning October S, in an
attempt to work out a solution of
the present economic crisis. Presi
dent Wilson will likely preside. All
sorts of prophesies as to what will
result from the conferences are rife
in Washington. Mr.. Gompers is
scheduled to lead labor in the con-
ference. Just what may result
from constantly acceding to Mr.
Gompers is questionable From
the first appearance of the first
cloud in disturbed skies down to
the present day this doughty little
man has stood for higher wages"
and recognition of the unions and
practically nothing else.
If that is the genuine pathway to
a reduction in the cost of living the
experiences of the past two years
have not Given any indication to
that effect.
1t may be that Theodore N. Vail
who is acknowledged as one of the
worlds greatest business men, may
represent capital in the conference

the American Magazine, says thai

FIRST ANNIVERSARY

New York, Sept. l2.-Gen John j.

sylvania Station for Washington, where
next Wednesday he will lead parade

On the first day Of his visit, Gen.

and referred to the anniversary today
of the battle Of St Mihiel. That bat
tie, he said, demonstrated to the world
that the American army could be relied

Pershing said: II am going to offer

KOREAN CAPITAL IN
SIEGE STATE SIN CE
SA|TO BOMB aa7'4'.'.CK IT.

Toxic, Wednesday, Sept. 10.--Since
the attempt to assissinate Baron Sal
to, governor of Korea, at Seoul, on
Sept. ., every part Of that city has
been occupied by Japanese troops and
the place is virtually in a state of
siege. The would.be assassin is still
at large, although a number of persons
suspected of being implicated in the plot
are under arrest. The bomb thrown
at Baron Saito exploded with terrific
violence, and an inspection of the
arrangements has shown that the missile
was scientifically constructed. 1t IS
the opinion of the police that the bomb
was not made in Korea, but was
brought into the country, probably
from Manchuria.
The Japanese press takes the view
that the bomb outrage was to have
been expected, pointing out that 1t
was almost a logical development. 1t
expresses the opinion that the appoint
ment of a naval officer Of Korea prob
ably was inopportune and the result
of poor judgment as it only served
to nflame the Koreans who had hoped
that civilian would be named. Take
shi 1nukal, leader of the Kokuminto,
or national party takes a similar view
He said that u civilian might have
Gained the Koreans, who regard Baron
Saito as a man Of the sword, like his
predecessors.
The bomb incident, which profound
ly shocked Japan and caused the i'm
mediate dispatch Of solicitous tele-
grams by the emperor and empress
and Premier Hara to Baron Saito, IS
the more regretted as it occurred at
the moment when extensive reforms
were being inaugurated Friends Of
Baron Saito declare he is not likely,
however, to allow the crime to affect
the carrying out of the new policies,
pointing to his persevering nature and
determined character.

PLUMB PLAN BURIED"
UNLESS II STANDS FOR
PAN-NAT TIONALI LIzATION

Washington, Sept. 12.-The Plumb
plan for tripartite control of the rail
roads under government ownership
must be buried beyond all hope if it
is not to be made "a rallying point" for
the naturalization of all industry, Ed
gar j. Rich, transportation counsel for
the associated industries Of Massachu-
sets, declared today before the house
interstate commerce committee consid-
ering legislation for final disposition of
the railroads.
Mr.. Rich, who also spoke for the man
ufacturers' associations of % states and
the Massachusetts Chamber of Com
merce, said the Plumb plan, like boil
shevism, was a "perversion" of the
principle of socialism in that it would
benefit only one class and deny the
socialistic theory of 'the public good"
The railroads under the plan, he said,
would be operated "for the benefit Of
the workers. while the public would
assume all risk of loss.
The greatest defect of the plan, he
declared, is that the two-thirds repre-.

States should wage war on a neighbor-
ing country only because of inherited
discomfort caused by abnormal condi-
tions created through civil war which
the Mexican people have been forced
into exactly for the same reason which

General Obregon suggested that a sur
vey be made of the events transpiring
during the revolutionary period and
through the actual regime of Carranza,
to see if any actions of the leaders of
the constitutional revolution or OF the
present administration could be CON
strued as an attack on the mutual re-
spect both Americans and Mexicans owe

General Obregon expressed regret at
the recurrence of incidents which bring

derstanding between the two countries

Earges regardless Of revenues, with the
public to stand any resultant losses.
The author Of the plan" Mr.. Rich
said, claims there would be an incen-
live for efficient operation because every
worker would be entitled to a share in
the surplus But after the employees
had helped themselves to what wages
they wanted does anyone believe there
would be any surplus? Why should the
employees care to accumulate a surplus,
onehalf Of which they can have, when
they can get the whole and more by
adjusting their own wages?"

WILSON TELLS b.dAH'S
PEOPLE IT'S TREATY OR
WAR-FLAM|NG WORLD

Coour d'Alene, Idaho, Sept. IA
world again aflame with war unless the
peace treaty is accepted was pictured
by President Wilson here today.
America is face to face, he declar-
ed, with a decision as to whether she
will prove to the world that she meant
what she said in promising to aid in
Il peace concert"
Making his only address in the home
state Of Senator Borah one of the bit
terest opponents of the treaty, the
president spoke in a big tent 1t was
not filled. ID. W. Davis, governor Of
Idaho, introduced Mr.. Wilson while
the crowd stood and cheered.
While he could understand why men
might differ as to details of the treaty
Mr., Wilson said, he was amazed"
that some men wanted to reject it al.
together. 1t was America that saved
the world, he declared and now it
was proposed in some quarters to de
sert the world
The forthcoming treaty with Aus.
tria, said the president. would be
drawn along exactly the same lines"
as that with Germany and would be
another step in the effort to prevent
another attempt at conquest. He as
serted that the field for future con
quest lay directly to the east of Ger
many and that Germany already was
negotiating with the bolshcvst gov
ernment Of Russia in the hope of find
ing soil there for industrial and poll
teal intrigue.
1t was the peace treaty with its
league of nations covenant, he asserted,
which alone could prevent the success
Of such Il plan.
