PRESIDENT ENDORSES
CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

The thousands of men and women,
boys and girls in Colorado who are
preparing to take part in the Christ
mas Seal Sale next month to raise
funds with which to fight tuberculosis
in this state will be interested in the
endorsement of the movement by
President Wilson,
The presidents attitude toward the
seal sale is contained in letter to DR..
Charles J. Hatfield, managing director
of the National Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, with which the Colorado Tuber-
culosis Association is affiliated. The
letter is as follows:
"My Dear Doctor Hatfield:
II cannot too often express my pro
found interest in the work being done
to check tuberculosis. My interest in
the movement is very great and last
ing and wish for it the most com
plete success. / hope that the little
stamps that you are seeking to sell
will find millions of purchasers.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON"

BLESSINGS MORE
Than MATERIAL

In other times a Thanksgiving edi-
boastfulness We had grown so many
million bushels of grain; our cattle
on the thousand hills had increased so
many hundredfold: our clearinghouse
statistics had never been surpassed;
our per capita wealth was the great
est In the world; indeed. our thank
fulness was lost in the glorification Of
the gift. We were like the people of
whom the Prophet Habakkuk spake,
who had caught much fish in their
nets and gathered them in their drags.
therefore they sacrifice unto their
net, and burn incense unto their drag;
because by them their portion is fat,
and their meat plenteous." OF graft
tude to a Giver. of thankful recogni-
ton of forces which we did not Gre
ate. but without whose cooperation
we should have been as nothing, there
was less than ought to have been.
All this was due, of course, not so
much to human ingratitude as to hui
man thoughtlessness. To Thank is to
Think. The farther back We think,

thought ceases with our own contribu-
tion to our welfare. our thanks cease
with ourselves. If our appraisal stops
with our material increase. our thanks
become material and insensibly
change into boasting. We sacrifice
unto our great industries and burn in
cense unto our skill. and there our
homage rests.
But in this Thanksgiving day we
have such incentive to thought as the
world has never seen before, and the
blessings which challenge us are such
as do not lend themselves to material
| appraisal. The chief blessings of the
day are spiritual; their very names
| put them a world apart from the
things which are quoted on the mar
ket or measured in the scales of ply
sical worth. Justice, Righteousness
and Peace, these are the exalted val
ues in which we feel our true riches to
be, and for these the entire race Of
men. whether they keep Thanksgiv-

WHAT TUBERcULoSIS COSTS
IN LIVES AND MONEY

From 21a to years of life for each
saved in this country if tuberculosis
is eradicated. In terms Of money value,
at S100 year per person. which is a
moderate estimate, this means pros
pective saving of about 25 to so billion
dollars to the people of the United
States. These are conclusions reached
by the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton on the basis of figures compiled
for the Association by Miss Jessamine
s. Whitney, Research Secretary, and
DIR. Louis I. Dublin, Statistician of thu
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
Miss whitney, who is now conduct
ing research work for the Colorado
Tuberculosis Association, and DR..
Dublin arrived at their conclusions by
an ingenious method, basing their
studies separately on the population of
the United States according to the
census of 1910 and upon the experience
Of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company from 1911 to 1916.
DR.. Dublin found that the number of
years lost to each individual in the
United States on account of tuberculo-
sis varied from 2.6 for white women to
5 wears for colored women The
average loss for white men is 34S
years, and for colored men 495 years.
Miss Whitneys figures, taking into
consideration the entire population,
both white and colored, show that
tuberculosis shortens the average life
time of every individual in the United
Stares by approximately 2h years.
Every person who buys Christmas
seals is helping TO end this unneces-
sary waste of human life and economic
resources.

SOLEMN after
GREAT VICTORY
Impressed Only by Sense of
Responsibility and Deter
mination to Make Good to
Limit; Must Do Great Things

Washington, Nov. l5.-With ma
jority of l52 in the House and % in the
Senate, the Republican Tarty has re-
turned to power with solemn sense of
responsibility after ten years of Demo-
cratic control.
The fact that the House majority is
larger than ever given any party in the
history of the country and that the Sem
ate majority is sufficient to make sure
of the pas sage of all party measures,
does not cause elation among the lead
ers in either branch of Congress so much
determination to do away with the
evils in administration which caused
the landslide in their favor.
1t is only within the facts to say that
no party ever came to power with such
a serious sense of responsibility as the
Republican party at this time. In in
terviews with those who are to wiele
that power one is impressed at once
with this feeling that the party must
do great things to make good and that
it will do them The Republican part,
is the party of constructive effort /
lost in Congress in 1910 on the Demo
cratic promise to reduce the cost Of
living, lost the presidency in 1912 by a
split, and in 1916 by promise to keel
ont of war. 1t returns to take up tht
burden where it laid it down, having in
the meantime during the war outvie'
the Democrats in patriotic submersiol
Of partisanship. 1t is united as it ha
never been.

hand, is literally shot to pieces. Be
