A II. LESSON IN PROBITY

The objectionable public policy illus trated in the admission of Senator J. M. Bonner that he entered into the legal enl- ploy of the Alabama Power Company while member of the law-making body of Alabama is subject receiving em- phatic attention in the speech of Honora- ble {ehn W. Davis; accepting the Demo cratic presidential nomination.
 The high position taken by MT. Davis is particularly enlightening and is mes sage of rebuke to those holding with the practice of accepting employment, while occupying public office, from an interest known to seek favors from public admin istrators. The reference of MT. Davis to this question presents an unusual per thence, for the Bonner letter, in which the admission cited above was made, used the name of the Democratic nominee to justify such relation. In this letter Sen ator Bonner said he had no more apology to make for accepting legal employment from a utility while serving as member of the state senate than did "John w. Davis. when it was suggested to him that he cease to represent the J. P. Morgan interests in order that he might become candidate for president"
 But what did MT. Davis say with re- spect to such dual status of public off cial and special interest employe? He said:
 When ! was advised of the pur-
 pose of President Wilson to appoint
 me to the high office of solicitor
 general, my first act was to surren.
 der all private employment and to
 sever my conneetiOn with the law
 firm of which was then a member
 and of which my revered father was
 the head. From that day until my
 duties as ambassador to Great
 Britain were ended eight years
 later, had no other client or. .em.
 ployer than the government and the
 people of the United States. ~
 Whether served them well or faith
 fully not l, but others, must say.
 As soon as the convention had de-
 cidsd in my behalf realized that
 was called upon to repeat my former
 action. Within the week, therefore,
 l signified to all my clients that
 could no longer serve them, and
 severed my connection with the
 honorable gentlemen who were my
 professional Partners. 1, have no
 clients today but the Democratic
 party and, if they will it so, the peo-
 pie of the United States. ...>-
 What lesson in probity is here ex- emplified by Democracy's standard bearer! What contrast in moral un- derstanding between Mir. Davis and those who seek to justify the propriety of ae- cepting employment from a special in- terest while occupying position of pub lie trust and responsibility! Mir. Davis shows that when first chosen for public office by President Wilson he imme- diately severed professional connection with those then employing him. Without awaiting any determination of the peo- pie as to his election to the presidency, he withdrew the contact the moment the party called him as it's candidate. But Mir. Bonner admits he accepted employ ment after he was elected.
 Senator Bonner may not see this dis tinction in view of his attempt to com pare himself favorably with Mir. Davis. But the people will see it. Make no mis- take about it.

It is recalled by very close students of political events that Allen L. Benson, who announces that he will vote for Mir. LaFollette also ran as the socialist candi- date for president in 1916.

THANKSGIVING TABLE
SHOULD BE DECORATED

If flowers are not available for
the Thanksgiving table. and the
dinner is served too early to make
candle light appropriate. colorful
fruits viii make interesting table
decorations. says Harriet Gold
stein of the home economics di-
vision, University of Minnesota.
Line large, low bowl. such as a
wooden chopping bowl. with
evergreen. says Miss Goldstein,
letting the greens almost conceal
the bowl and fall irregularly and
gracefully upon the tablecloth.
Fill the bowl with highly colored
fruit--bright red apples. some
oranges, and a few grapes. Do
not have an equal number of
each, but let one color predomi-
nate and use the odd colors for
variety.
Miss Goldstein says another
way to secure an attractive ar
rangement for the center of the
table is to place some shining red
apples, few oranges and a
bunch or two of grapes on a
black tray. Let the black of the
tray show in some places for it
will make an effective back
ground. A pie tin painted black
may be made to serve as a tray.
A bright note Of color might also
be gained through the use of a
low brown basket, without han
dies, filed with bittersweet and a
few sprays of evergreen
Favors may be made from
cranberries and sprigs Of cedar.
Cut five pieces of wire in differ
ent lengths, between two and
one-half and three and one-half
inches. Put a cranberry on the
end of each wire and mixing in
the bits of cedar. make these into
small bouquets. They may be
tied with dark green baby ribbon

SCORES FIVE TOUCHDOWNS
This Unusual Feat Accomplished By Red Grange Is Truly 4 Remark. able Event in Football.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-The experts are delving into the football statistics in an effort to make some comparison with deeds of past stars and the play of Red Grange against Michigan.
 So far they have been unable to find game in which two major eleyens participated where any play CT gave a greater exhibition of bril- liant play than that of Grange.
 In scoring five touchdowns and piling up total of over 400 yards as his work for the day, he did more than all other rivals of Michigan combined were able to do last sea- son.
 Last year only one team the Quan- tico Marines, made up of former col lcge stars, managed to score a touch- down against Michigan.
 The combined total of points scor- ed against Vests eleven WAS an even dozen, Iowa and Wisconsin kicking field goals in addition to tho touch- down made by the Marines.
 Grange, in scoring five touchdowns against Michigan, had one of the big gest days ever credited to a major football player in an important game.

SOUTH CHURCH STARTS
Prospect for Bright Season as Vet crans Returns; Seeks to Start Cir cult Among Churches.

Preliminary plans for basketball team from the South Congregational church were laid yesterday noon at a meeting of those interested, and the outlook is promising for a fairly strong squad. Cecil Cooley, last years captain and center, will be with the the team again this sea son, as will Kermet Parker, forward; 1; Lester Kilduff, who plays both for ward and guard; and Albert Hitch iner, guard. It is not yet known whether Harvey Woodford and l;v- erett Herre, also members Of last years team, will play this year or not, but new material is available in Joel Adams, Jack Wilkes and Carl ton Washburn, the first two of these having had experience with Y. M. (, A. team.
 The team will practice at the Boys club on "Wednesday evenings. It is the hope of the members that four or six team league among the local churches can be started this winter. If such a circuit can be formed, 1t is likely that floor can be secured at little expense for glmgs each week.
