WHAT THANKSGIVING
MEANS TO THE AM
ERICAN PEOPLE.


The American people have much
to be thankful for as the day of ma
tional Thanksgiving approaches.
We have had bountiful crops.
Prosperity is returning. We are
entering an era of revived business
activity. The armies of the I'M
employed have been mustered out.
Public expenditures are being re-
duced and war burdens lifted. A
better day is coming.
We have been kept out of war.
European entanglements do not in
volve us. Europe may, if she will
keep on fighting until the continent
is Junk pile and a bone yard, but
we are not subject to orders from
the League Of Nations and may
stay out of quarrels, the result of
Europe's age old hatreds, jealousies
and rivalries, with which we have
nothing to do. Americans are griev-
ed beyond expression by the situa-
ton in the Far East, but are not
sorry that the proposed Armenian
mandate is not at this moment fore
ing American boys to die in battle
with the Turks in utterly hopeless
task of composing the differences in
the Near East which have for CEN
turtles kept that part of the world in
bloody turmoil. We are told that
in our failure to accept the role of
the worlds policeman and banker
care failing in our duty to human
ity, but Americans who have been
innoculated with European virus
believe that we have spent quite
enough blood and treasure in try
ing to tranquilize Europe only to
earn Europe's ungrateful hatred
We live where there is less
of war breeding hatred, more of
human comradeship and content
ment, more of privilege and oppor-
tunity than any other has ever
known. We are citizens of a repre-
sentative republic where public i
opinion, restrained only by consti-
tutional guarantees of deiberative
decision and minority rights, is
dominant in government. Its only |
necessary that this public opinion
shall continue to be in the future,
IS it has been in the past enlight-
ened and just, to make of our gov
the most perfect express
sion of the wisest and Hottest polit-
cal purposes of men it is possible
within human limitationsto evolve.
We do not know that God is
more the friend of one nation than
Of another. We know that He
helps those who help themselves. |
This nation is ourrich heritage from
hose who through service and sac
'iice have made it what it is. 1t
S our duty and opportunity to
transmit that heritage undiminish-
I'd, that Thanksgiving may not lose
is meaning to those who come after
Is. Dedication to that task is the
sentiment of Thanks
living Day.

HAYS TELLS WOMEN TO
USE BOYCOTT ON FILMS
Asks to Be Judged Only by
+, Accomplishment.

CHAuTAUoUA, June 2S.-Will II. Hays,
head of the Motion Picture producers
and Distributors of America, promised
the delegates to the General Federation
Of Womens Clubs in session here to-
night that motion pictures would be
cleansed at their source.
1t was the purpose of his organiza-
ton, he said. ito establish and maintain
the highest possible moral and artistic
standards in film production, and to de-
velop the educational as well as the en-
tertainment value and the general USE
fulness of motion pictures"
AS to the manner in which the club
women might help, Mr.. Hays said tho
easiest way was TO refuse to patronize
theaters that produce Objectionable pic
lures. He urged the federation to main
tain a vigorous department for better
films and to appoint better film com
mittees in every community.
Mr. Hays asked his audience to judge
his organization by the pictures now In
process OF making rather than by prom-
ises, declaring they will be the proof
either of our honesty of purpose or of
our failure; of our ability to correct our
evils ourselves or our inability to run
our own business"
AS for censorship, Mr.. Hays said the

rope by the French liner France. He
expressed great faith in the League of
Nations and declared that the solution
of all economic problems here and in
Europe was Americas entrance into the
league
pThe Administration Is taking a RI
diculous stand not only in regard to the
league but the tariff" he continued.
THE trouble with the Administration is
that it has the old Republican Admin
istration idea of looking no further than
its nose. ] am going TO travel by motor
entirely and see the consequences abroad
of the doing nothing policy of the Ad-
ministration. American trade relations
with Europe must be promoted and
