LET US GIVE THANKS

Somebody has defined gratitude as a lively
sense Of benefits expected. In this there is some
nony and good deal Of truth The most joyous
note in the thanksgiving symphony today IS inspired
by the glorious prospect which lies before our coun-
Try as d whole and the state of Florida in parti-
cular.
Every year brings increasing evidence that the
people of America have been designated BY Proyi-
dence for a high and glorious destiny. Il IS that
conviction which makes Ineligible the wonderful
record Of the last few Centuries Il was not Blind
chance which peopled his continent with The choic-
6. stock Of the human family. Purpose can
seen in the very diversity Of races existing here,
because it gives assurance that their amagamalon
will produce a new and nobler race than has as
yet lived On earth The hand Of the Almighty
is visible in the various crises vhioF have threatened
our existence-n the Revolution IN the Civil war,
in The WcrId war, and al every point where
choice Of courses had to be made Melting short
Of Omnipoient power could have so shaped those
epochs as to cave the country each time hrner and
stronger than ever before while converting what
seemed to be an incurabIe schsm INTO closer union
and better understanding.
Our past is the true guarantee Of the present and
the future. The difficulties confronting us are
trifng compared with those we have overcome
Though still in our infancy as nation, we are
recognized lie world over as the leader Of die pa-
tons. Though its resources are scarcely touched,
It is the richest country Of which history has any
record. Though It's population has passed tic
mark of one hundred Millions it has room and
accommodations for many times that number
Florida The fairest CT its states, shares in the
joyful prospects confronting the nation while
augmenting them by advantages peculiar to her.
self No spot on earth can look forward TO greater
things than Florida. The splendid character of
its population, its matchless climate its beautiful
and widely varied landscape, its rich and generous
soil all combine TO make ii the brightest and hap
piest portion Of America. The feebest forecast
of its future would sound as extrayagant as an
Arabian tale.
Our gratitude TO the Almighty may well, there
fore, include in lis scope what is promised as well
as what is already achieved. The very magnitude
of our blessings calls for humility The miracles
wrought in cur behalf should inspire trust
To doubt dat one Cay the kingdom of God
will reign On earth is to doubt the whole revealed
plan Of the Creator, and with full reverence we
may also believe that the destiny of this country is
to bring that contamination sensibly nearer. In
trust, confidence and humbleness Of heart, let US
return our deepest thanks, the purity of which will
be IN proportion as they are accompanied by prayer
that we may be instrumental in promoting the
eternal welfare Of humanity.

WELLS SPEAKS OUT


The article of H. C. Wells on Premier Brands
speech, published in the larger daies throughout
The United States is one of the clearest cut con-
trbutons to armament discussion that has yet been
made, as well as the severest arraignment of the
French government that has appeared in the Amer
lean press
MIR. Wells describes in the most vivid manner
a situation which, if it actually exists, is COM
plete bar TO all hopes of armament reduction. The
only question is. Is his premises sound?
He discredits entirely the contention that France
is acuated by fear of Germany or Russia. He
SCOTS at the notion, that there is anything about
Russia to arouse such apprehensions as the French
profess, and indicates very bluntly that Germany
is living up 10 the Versailles treaty closer than
France is.
Most astonishing of all, however. is his charge
that France is in reality arming against Great Brit
ain. His notion is that the French republic. in
toxicaicd with her victory in the world war, is in
duIaing in dreams Of world empire like those
which crimsoned the map of Europe in the time of
Napoleon. Wells occupies no official position.
He is talking 10 the public. Millions in England
and America read his articles, and, while there is,
naturally. large contingent of opposition, there
is also large part OF the public ready to accept
his views.
In tins country his views operate under the ad-
ditional advantages of novelty While millions
have thought what he is saying, the peculiar hush,
hush" policy Of public officers and most of the
press as prevented the canvassing of this side of
The question But the issue is merely mentioned
rather than raised by Wells. 1t is actually raised
by TIE inevitable logic Of the situation. can not
be sidestepped.
1t was the German imperiol pocy-the policy
CT eternal readiness for a fight, of resisting all
pleas for armament reduction of standing eternally
On guard ever the German place in the sun, OF
pretending to apprehend dangers of attack from
all sides, ard Of continually rafting the sabre
tkat turned the world against Germany and led to
the overthrow of the most powerful monarchy Of
modern iinlcs. France IS doing the same thing in
the same way. In opposition to the world desire
for peace, size is Furnishing the sword American
admiration for France is deep, and it will die
hard; but just as surely as the policy outlined by
Premier BRAND is adhered to, there will be pro-
found change of American as there has already
been Of British sentiment, and instead of finding
friends. 10 support her demands France will find
herself confronting an alliance similar to that which
destroyed the German empire.

That effort on the part of few people in the
state to start boom for Williams JENNINGS

rather unwise. We hardly think that Mr.
