Department of justice officials say
that if Vessels, the German master
spy, who has been an inmate Of the
Tombs in New York for year and a
half, is convicted at his forthcoming
trial he will be placed before a firing
squad and eliminated. While the evil
dence secured will doubtless convict
him, we would not wager nickel that
his execution will take place. Spies,
traitors and anarchists were convicted
IN large number during the war, but
we have yet to learn where one Of
them has met his desserts the death
penalty. And that is the principal
reason. why this country is overrun
with reds.

q fellow by the name Of Henry Week
OPP, who lived in Sibley county, went
into Canada, thinking his seditious ac-
lions would be lost track of; but the
Canadian authorities very promptly
placed the wrist bracelets upon him

covering the situation which, under

National Republican: If congress
will enact legislation compelling the
determination Of disputes in industry
by legal process, with means provided
for enforcing these decisions, it will
do the one big thing needful to recon
struction. It is time to quit doing the
seemingly expedient thing. And it
would surprise good many statesmen
to find just how popular that method
of handling affairs is.

Courts are altogether too dilatory
in dealing with I. w. w. and other
reds, and also too lenient Why are
not the aliens among them deported
instead of being permitted to ,infest
this country, and why are so many Of
the anarchistic element released from
custody on bail and granted new
trials? The reds cannot be crushed
by these methods. What this country
badly needs is more judges of the
Lands kind.

SMALL AUDIENCE ATTENDS
THANKSGIVING SERVICE

Union Thanksgiving services in the
M. E. church last Thursday drew
forth a fair audience, the outlook for
stormy conditions frightening certain
of the older people who fear to brave
the elements. In the congregation
were members from all the Protest
ant churches, and interest was mani
Tested by all those present.
Special music was provided for the
service, Mr.. John Beck, organist;
Mrs. Bowman, soloist, and Miss
Sipher, violinist.
Rev. Caulk, rector of the Episcopal
church preached a sermon on Thanks
giving, while Revs. Drew, Goodale
and Bryenton participated in the SER
vices.
In point of numbers the audience
was not what it should have been in
christian community with five Pro-
testant churches; it did not show the
proper union spirit, it gave evidence
of lack of real interest in one Of the
old institutions which is supposed to
give a reflex of the piety of the COM

DONAHEY MAY BE DEM.
CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR

The Democrats of Ohio are very
apt to nominate State Auditor Vic
Donahey for governor next year.
The recent elections changed the
sentiments of many so-called "or-
ganization Democrats" toward DON
ahey. Before Nov. 4, they could be
heard to say he wouldn't be satisfac-
tory as the party nominee because
he had always held aloof from the
organization and had acted too inde-
pendently as state auditor.
But the day after the election
many of these same organization
Democrats began talking about Dom
ahey's fitness to be governor and
about the large number of votes his
popularity would bring other nomi-
nees on the state ticket.
There are those who say the state
organizations sees that the political
trend of the country is toward the
Reublican party next year it will be
good chance to kill Donahey off,
politically, by nominating him for
governor and then having him
slaughtered.
However, there are other far-see-
ing Democrats who believe he might
pull the ticket through should 1920
be a close year in Ohio.
Former Governor Judson Harmon
has been a patron saint with Ohio
farmers for a good many years, but
it is very generally agreed that
"Uncle Judd" made a serious political
mistake when he came out in a pub
lie letter urging the voters to adopt
the property classification amend
ment at the recent election.
On this proposition Donahey took
direct issue with Harmon. The fight
against classification was virtually
directed from Donahey's office in the
State House.
The result was victory for Don
ahey.

tian, writes as follows Of Rev. caulk's

tian. writes as follows of Rev. Caulk's
sermon:
Our ruling powers have re-
quested the people of the nation to
devote some part of the day to Guilt
waiting a feeling of thankfulness to
the Creator above who hath "made
and preserved us nation" The idea
lis not new, for even when Israel was
in it's full bloom 5000 years ago, the
people were frequently called on to
praise God for his providential deal
ings with them, and especially for
the crops gathered in the fields.
Nothing is more despised by men
than to have kindness overlooked,
or disparaged because the favor was
not larger. A certain farmer once
made present of barrel of cider to
a miserly (but poor) neighbor The
latter looked at the gift and said,
"That's bum barrel you gave me.
What will you give me for it after l
empty it?~ We have all been re-
buffed by such persons; and whether
to despise their meanness or pity
their lack of decency is the question.
Some act as If all natural blessings
come as the result Of blind force, and
that no thought or thank should be
bestowed on them. That is wrong
conclusion. Every kernel Of wheat in
the field is just as much the result of
a special act of a force capaple Of pro-
ducing it as every nail in keg is the
result of mechanical force intelligent
Iy directed; and all things we enjoy
should be regarded as a gift designed
for our happiness. Every flower in
the field; every food plant in the gar
den; every rising of the sun and ap-
pearing of the stars should appeal to
our better nature as reasons for say
ing '8Thank you," with the emphasis
on the last word.
Gratitude is the noblest attribute
of the soul, for it is the fairest flower
on the stalk of love.
