A SUNDAY MORNING soLIIoouy.

This is the Sabbath day. The civilization we
have reared rests on no more enduring founda-

well only In proportion TO the loyal service he
renders his home and his country.

The Goddess of Liberty, the object OF our love
and devotion has returned home, She has been
wandering in strange lands, whore an unram'
illar language was, being spoken. where there
were idol worshlppers and where she felt lone
some and depressed. There those who
wished her to remain In these strange lands

begged her to return home,
And so the question was put to America her
self to decide the momentous Issue, Last Tues
day she rendered her decision. II was glorious.
The goddess returned Not only that but she
has decided unalterably and unoqalvo,aliy to
remain at home, concerning herself with her
own business, vcnturng abroad only for tho
purpose OF responding worthy appeals for
her charity and her good offices.
1t Ia altogether fitting that in every church
in every home throughout the length and breadth
OF this grateful land today, tho national anthem
be sung with forvor and in prnyertu mood. The
youth OF the nation, gathered in sunday school
rooms, should have the words of the anthem
put upon their lips, FOR they, posterity OF those
OF US who have fought to preserve our inher-
itance, have unusual cause Tor swelling the
chorus OF national Thanksgiving from coast TO

There are numerous reasons why

that almost everybody aided a little
In bringing over the great change.
Republican members Of the state

more by their women voters than
did the democrats.
Mrs OTIS X. Curcton of Muskogec
maintained womans department

We have stood for rigid economy Now that a

don't let the prospect of much patronage deter
you from acting honestly and courageously.
The simple fact Is the cost of the state govern
ment can easily be reduced 40 per cent without
imparing the efficiency Of the government. In
fact such reduction will add to the efficiency

Applause greeted this statement
Of Ernest l.. Thurston, superintend-
ent Of schools. testifying before the
special Senate School Investigating
Committee yesterday.
Thurston made the statement In
reply to a question by Senator Har-
rison following other questions In
regard to the feeling among the
colored parents against Assistant
Superintendent Bruce.
Thurston admitted the feeling
against Bruce dated back eight or
ten years
Senator Harrison asked why he
had not recommended Bruce's dis
rnissal.
Wanted to Try Belief.
Thurston replied he had always
felt IL the board would allow him
to exercise full control over the
assistant superintendent. he could
remedy the situation. He said he
thought II would be unfair to Bruce
to take any action until he had an
oportunity to TRY out his belief"
He admitted, however. that 1t was
extremely doubtful whether a rec
ommendation for the dismissal OF
Bruce would 60 through the board.
He denied that the knowledge of
this situation on the board in
fusnced him In failing to submit

Thurston declared he had not been
given q fair show since Van Schaick
had become a member. He said he
always felt Van Shaick was deter
mined to get him out OF the schools.
At this point DR.. Van Schaick said
to Senator Harrison, won't you
press him as to the motive?"
Thinks Case Like Blair's.

thought his case was tied up with
