THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving, which we observe
Thursday, has peculiar Significance In
that 1t marks the tereentenary Of the
institution on American soil Of public
expression OF thankfulness to God
for the blessings we enjoy. The
little company of Pilgrims who cele-
brated the first Thanksgiving did 1t
in recognition OF Providence as the
giver OF the harvest they, had gath
cred and, In grateful appreciation OF
its fullness, they lifted their voices
in praise. In this material age II
may seem that the Pilgrims settled
in the Plymouth forest had little
warranting setting apart such day.
yet they had much. They had come
here for freedom to worship God"
and that they had found. Their har-
vest insured them against want in
the long New England winter. What
more could such people desire?
They had all things essential.
Perhaps as n people we have gone
far from the practices, and the pre-
cepts Of the Pilgrim Fathers yet as
a nation grown from that little set
Element we give proof that we have
not forgotten entirely the example
thus set in that each year we ap.
point day In which to express our
thanks to God for life. liberty and
happiness. 1t is well that we pause
and take stock Of our blessings "lest
we forget"
As a nation we are favored above {
many others. yet 1t should make us
rather than thankful in {
pharisaical way. With wealth comes I
greater responsibilities and in our {
prosperity is not matched '
by growth in spiritual power we !
have missed the better part. We II
have manifold causes for thanksgiv- a
ing, but as n people we might have y
had more, had we not often gone fl
lstray. BY official proclamation we II
'ollow the example set by the Pill A
trims. May 1t be in spirit as well 50
IS in form. W
Our forefathers had a personal de- nj
'endence on Providence that stood
hem well In many trial. A like
rust and reliance Is needed today

Brer Clemenceau seems to have an
idea that he can dictate to the Unit
ed States what it is to do. He ought
to get In touch with his own coun-
try which has turned down the
armament conference naval policy.
The French are showing some poor
teamwork.

ing that Massachusetts, voted on mo-
ton picture censorship and voted 1t

know that the censor board furnishes
some nice fat political jobs and turns
In some revenue to the state? All the
states but two or three get along
without 1t but they probably have
less hungry politicians than Kansas.
The public Is the best censor and gets
reults when censor boards simply
mess up anything they handle-be
1t news, stage, literature or pictures.

Golden Belt Had Busy Day in First
Road Opening

Sunday was the busiest day the
Golden Belt road has ever seen be-
| tween Abilene and Junction City. A
constant parade of motor cars tray
eled over the newly opened highway.
The section east OF the Chapman
bridge was being cleared by work
men but II was open. The Junction
City and Chapman cars were all out
as well as most OF those from Abb
lene. apparently while Manhattan
and Salina sent delegates form those
dirt road counties to see what real
roads are like.
Two crashes occurred. One hap
pened in the forenoon when an
Overland touring car struck the post
Of culvert railing two miles west
Of Chapman and turned over in the
ditch. 1t was deserted immediate
ly and the license number was sent
TO Topeka to locate the owner. The
accident occurred OH a straight piece
Of road and must have been due to
mighty poor driving. The car was
on its side with no evidence Of any
one being hurt.
In the evening Junction City
EAR smashed into the culvert near the
p. J. Grove place. The driver said
he was blinded by bright lights Of
IN approaching car. His car was
BADLY damaged but the occupants
lot injured
Marshal Engle went down the
Dad Sunday evening. ut is dis
race the way drivers use bright
lights. Seemed to me that half the
rivers are violating the law. 1t is
gainst the state law and some stiff
mes would do some good" he said.
