THANKSGIVING.

1t is a pleasure to turn from the con-
temptation of graver matters to Good
Old Thanksgiving. 1t is one more cause
for thankfulness that we have this day
set apart each year for simple, homely.
happy things. Every day which tends
to tighten the family bond and encourage
love of country and respect for its in
situations makes the home and the ma
ton safer and better.
As Il nation we have great cause for
gratitude this year. Hard tiraes are be-
hind us, and prosperity ahead. Extreme
want and desolation which have preyed
upon other countries have stayed far re-
moved from our abundance With real
reason and full hearts we can make it
4 day of rejoicing. Only in the midst of
our thankfulness let us not forget un-
sclfshness, and in the midst of our
gratitude let US not forget giving. Even
while we make it a day of family re-
unions and of pride in our national pros
perity and power, we must not forget
families less blessed or nations less for
tunately situated.
While we are following the example
of the Pilgrim Fathers in thanksgiving
and feasting, we need also TO give
thought to the principles of freedom and
equality for which they faced their in
credible hardships. Some of these very
principles are menaced right today. not
from without. but from within our coun-
try. \ pledge to leave unstained, in our
turn, the things which the Fathers kept
spotless for US must not be forgotten,
even though the day as a whole be given
over to more joyous observance.

BAILEY vs. nSGnnn

The bennington Banner looks to see the
first trial of strength in the speakership
fight between Aaron II. Grout of New
port and Orlando Martin of Plainfield
and if neither of them can get ma
jority the final issue would be. between
Mr.. Bailey of Winooski and DR.. Osgood
of Rockingham" The Burlington Free
Press seems to think the supporters of
Mr.. Martin, in case of inability to land
their candidate, will be attracted by
Mr.. Bailey's business program. which
makes him a good business citizen first
and a lawyer afterward'
The Reformer does not believe the
farmers of the legislature will be wildly
enthusiastic over Mr.. Bailey's speaker
ship candidacy for all that he is a very
promising young man. a Methodist and
a graduate of L. V. NJ. They are likely
to feel that this years house will get
enough of the lawyer influence without
putting one of the fraternity in posi-
ton where he can name all of the COM
mittees. 1t is much more probable, in
the event of Mr. Martins inability to
win, that his strength would swing to
Dr. Osgood, whose previous legislative
experience is not only greater than that
of the Winooski candidate but whose
viewpoint on important state questions
is based on wider contact with affairs
in general.

The experienced sportsman treats his
weapon with great deal of respect. be-

expected. Too many families allow
their boys to use firearms without any
instruction in the use of the same.
