think and Thank"
Suggested Motto
for Nation Today

Think and Thank" was the motto
upon the family crest of the great He
brew philanthropist Sir Moses Monte
fore. 1t would be an appropriate
armorial motto for America today.
These two little English words, differ
ing in a single vowel, we're originally
Identical. In the Anglo-Saxon tongue,
a thank" vas a think" Thanking
comes from thinking, and thankful
ness from thoughtfulness and thanks
giving from thousht-giving. This will
be a season of unusual Thanksgiving
for we are made to think as we have
not been wont to think. 1t will be
a very selfish soul that this season
fails to think of the sorrows and the
sufferinss Of others.
Look back at that first American
Thanksgiving. Strange skies, sparse
settlements, sparse larder, savage en-
envy, but thankful spirit! What makes
the memory Of the Pilgrim so pre-
cious? His t~hankfulness! AS Howell
puts it:
~ 10 :O lIlpl Vlcl COlupiTlSOu CnH
a thankful heart is like q box Of pre-
cious ointment which keeps the smell
long after the thing is spent"
The Pilgrim and the Puritan have
passed on, but they have left us a
precious possession-a Thanksgiving
day and the Thanksgiving spirit.
Theirs was the indomitable spirit be-
cause they thanked God and took
courage" They landed un%designedly
on a "rock-bound wintry strand" but
they thanked God and took courage.
They found no gold, but they did find
the golden grain of a first harvest and
they thanked God and tool courage.
They found q rude wilderness, but
they thanked God and took courage,
and burrows were turned and towns
were built and cities grew and facto-
ries tlOnrished and culture develoned
and Instead of a wilderness a garden
blossomed and the fragrance of their
memory still survives and the spirit
Of their grace still inspires.

VICTORY RALLY
DRAWS THR0NC
Frazier, Ladd, Lemke
And Baer All
Speak ~

Fargo, Nov. II. - Governor
Lynn J. Frazier, United States
Senator-elect DR.. Edwin F. Ladd,
William Lemke, successful candi-
date for attorney general and
Congressman John NJ. Baer were
given a rousing ovation by more
than 1000 people in the auditor
ium here, Tuesday evening, No
vember 9, when a victory celebra-
ton was held. AS the quintet of
notables mounted the stage the
vast audience stood up, greeting
them with %vociferous cheers.
Baer Speaks
Congressman John M. Baer was the
first speaker introduced. "The Demo-
cratic party committed political sui
eide when it failed to bring a remedy
for the abnormal econmoci conditions
brought about by the war;" said Mr..
Baer. "The people of North Dako-
ia are to be congratulated upon their
decision to continue the program
which is the problems confronting us
today" Mr.. Baer then drew some
cartoons which caused much merri-
ment.
William Lemke pledged himself to
enforce the laws against poor and
rich alike. GAS an attorney who has
practiced in this state for many years
l wish to say that my experience is
that the poor man stands very slight
chance of securing justice in our
courts today" said Mr.. Lemke. "The
man with the money generally gets
what he wants and the poor man is
disappointed. AS attorney general I
promise you to enforce the laws i'm
partially on poor and rich alike"
Mr.. Lemke appealed to his audience
for cooperation in upbuilding the sta
tie. "The campaign is. now over and
it is up to US as good citizens to get
together for the upbuilding of our
state" said he. ut is my firm belief
that the industrial program will prove
a great benefit to the farmers of this
state and consequently to all the peo-
pie of North Dakota. We must CO.
operate in putting this program into
operation now that the people have
again signally voiced their approval
of the plan.
Interests Plot Destruction
"The interests that are opposed to
us have always plotted to destroy this
program. It appears that some of
the I. V. A. have suddenly woke up to
the fact that in their anxiety to ach-
ieve this end they have resorted to
measures that are promising to react.
If they do I call upon you honest I.
V. A. business men who have been
misled in supporting these measures,
to place the blame where it belongs.
The Devils Lake world. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1920-1982, 1920-11-17

I belieye that many members Of the
North Dakota Bankers association
never realized the danger that lurked
in the bank bill voted on in the recent
election. If some Of these banks are
hit by this law let them place the
blame where it belongs"
To the business men of the state
who have heretofore opposed the in
dustrial program Mr.. Lemke said:
"You have been licked fairly and
squarely in this fight and you had bet
ter admit it. You have promised many
of you, that if you were licked this
time you would turn around and sup
port the program. Keep this promise
and do your state and yourself the
best service possible. The Nonparti-
san League program is the greatest
constructive program ever planned and
it is bound to aid every legitimate in
terest in this state if put into success
full operation"
Seeking to Serve the People
II go to the United States senate
to serve the common people," was the
opening statement by DR.. E. F. Ladd.
"As in the war l have tried to per-
form among you for the past Is years
/ shall endeavor to serve the great
mass of the people and not special
privilege.
"Not one Of you people here tonight
would want to have restored the con-
dition that prevailed in the food mar
kets in this state 20 years ago. Ten
years from now you will view the
Nonpartisan League industrial pro-
gram in the same spirit. You will
want it more than ever"
DR.. Ladd pointed out the many cases
of profiteering that have come to
light in the past few months, particu-
larly in sugar, coal and the products
of the farms. "The people of North
Dakota r fighting a system that
makes it possible for a few man to
sugar and force the people to
pay $1,000, 1000, 900 in excess profits.
AS in the past I shall continue to fight
that system"
