littler TO Mayor Taylor, chairman Of

expresses his views on the subject Of
pension funds for police officers. Major
sylvester in part said:
This period Of after-war recon-
struction finds the times out OF joint.
There is social unrest among a discOn-
certed people. The condition in the

The season Of the year has again
arrived when the people Of the
United States are accustomed TO
unite in giving thanks TO Almighty
God for the blessings which he has
conferred upon our country during
the IL months that have passed. A
year ago. our people poured out
their hearts in praise and thanks
giving that through Divine aid the
right was victorious and peace had
come 10 the nations which had so
cOurageOusly struggled in defense
OF human liberty and justice. Now
that the stern task is ended and the
fruits Of achievement are ours, we
look forward with confidence 10
the dawn OF an era where the sac
riflces Of the nation will find
recompense in a world at peace.
But 10 attain the cOnsummatiOn
OF the great work 10 which the
American people devoted their
manhood and the vast resources OF
their country. they should, as they
give thanks TO God. recOnsecrate
themselves TO those principles Of
right which triumphed through
His merciful goodness. our graft
tude can find no more perfect ex-
preston than to bulwark with 10y
atty and patriotism the principles
for which the free peoples Of the
earth fought and died.
During the past year we have had
much TO make us grateful. In
spite Of the confusion in our eco
nomic life resulting from the war
we have prospered. Our harvests
have been plentiful and OF our
abundance we have been able 10
render succor TO less-fayOred ma
tions. Our democracy remains un-
shaken in a world torn with politl-
cal and social unrest. Our tradi-
tional Ideals are still our guides in
Evening journal., 1919-11-06

the path OF progress and civilization.
These great blessings, vOuchsafed
10 us, for which we devOutly give
thanks, should arouse US to a fuller
sense Of our duty 10 ourselves and
20 mankind TO see to II that nothing
we may do shall mar the complete
ness Of the victory which we
helped 10 win. No selfish purpose
animated us In becoming particl-
pants in the world war. and with
like spirit Of unselnshness we
should strive 10 aid by our example
and by our cooperation in realiz-
ing the enduring welfare OF all
peoples and in bringing into being
a world ruled by friendship and
good will.
Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson.
President OF the United States OF
America. hereby designate Thurs
day, the 27th day OF November
next, for observance as day OF
thanksgiving and prayer by my
fellow countrymen. inviting them
cease on that day from their Ordl-
nary tasks and 10 unite in their
homes and in their several places
OF worship in ascrihing praise and
thanksgiving TO God the Author OF
an blessings and the Master OF
destinies.
In witness whereof, ! have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal OF the United States TO be az
fixed.

Sure 7. Fail.

Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
of the Antisaloon League OF Ameri-
ca, in speaking of the plan of action
for dry enforcement, says:
THE fear expressed that radical
measures might be adopted to inter
fere unduly with the privacy OF the
home. will not be realized. We have
always guarded this in every pro-
hibitiOn act, realizing that mans
home is his castle There will be no
effort to make the search-and-seizure
law apply to bonafde private resi-
dences unless such private residence
becomes a place OF public resort for
drinking or for the sale Of illegal
distribution Of liquor"
Against this as successful dry
basis is the fact that liquor is al
ready being made in many homes in
Baltimore as a private experiment to
secure substitute for public pur-
chasing. Even good beers are being
made in that way. The result of any
such plan would mean that wines,
liquors and beers of much higher
alcoholic content than now to be pur-
chased publicly would be made in
the homes. The law would be joke
i'm practical application, while the
state would be deprived of vast
revenues and decent control of the
goods produced. We would grow a
race of hyDocrites on the dry side
and of sneaks and law evaders among
wet advocates.

a story of thrilling sea fight be-
tween a sperm whale and it's ancient
enemy, the thrasher, l. told by a
Whaler from a whale hunt off Gray S
Harbor at Aberdeen, Wash.
The fog lifting off the sea gave the
whaler, who stood in the barrel" a
clear view of the fight. The thrasher
came plunging through the water and
appeared to leap into the air, he said,
landing on the whales back. The
whale fought desperately to rid itself
Of the slim black pirate, but appar-
entity was unable to do 50.
The sperm would plunge out of the
water and dive, and then come up
again, but the thrasher was always on
top. The fog had settled down again
before the whaling boat could get
within firing distance Of the whale,
and the finish OF the struggle was not
seen.
It may seem impossible that a fish
one-third it's size could conquer the
monarch Of the seas, but such is the
case. The thrasher is possessed of a
long, flexible snout somewhat like a
submarine, he jumps straight for the
whales blow hole, which Is situated
at the top and base Of the head
Once he has hold upon the blow
hole, the whales wind is shut off and
he is suffocated, for the whale must
have air.
