THANKSGIVING SPIRIT

OVERNOR j. A. o. Preus, in proclama-
ton, asked the citizens to properly observe
~ Thanksgiving Day, November 9th, IN
places of worship by giving thanks for all bless
ings. He also asks that we remember those less
fortunate. the sick, needy and the men and wom-
on disabled in the service of their country. he
says:
'Let us observe the day in the spirit OF the
Pilgrim fathers, and voice our gratitude Tor our
material blessings" the proclamation said call
ing on citizens to observe the day sin the GUS
tomary places of worship and at the family fire.
side"
sLet us also remember the spirit OF George
Washington who called upon the people to give
thanks for the opportunity peaceably to establish
form of government for their safety and hap
piness Let us give thanks because this govern
ment still survives, and not only permits us to
enjoy the product of our toll, but guarantees to
us life, liberty and equal opportunities for the
pursuit of happiness.
"Let us do more than give thanks with our
voice. Let us show gratitude by sharing ou1
blessings with those less fortunate. Let us re-
solve at this Thanksgiving season to remember
at all times the sick and the needy, the men and
women disabled in the service of their country
and all others who need cheer and comfort.

How often we hear this remark, "They ought
to have laws to govern that" Do we really
mean this or is it an attempt to shoulder the
law with our own responsibility? In our opin-
ion, it is one of the chief warnings of the goth
century Jazz bound, speed mad world. If we
had the control of ourselves, our children,
would this be necessary? It seems an exhibition
of weakness and confession of lack of self
reliance and dicipline. Our literature, our NOV
ing pictures, our stage and the like are all under
Federal and State Censorship. This censorship
should not be necessary. We and everyone should
so build, that public disapproval would be the
greatest and only censor. There is saying that
the 'Home is the foundation of the state" This
foundation must be weak and wobbly when its
elements are not strong enough to set into q
moral support without seeking the help of the
law. A country over governed is doomed to dis
aster just as home too little controlled is head
ed for smash up.-Fairmont Independent.

From all over the state coming sugges
tive hints as to whom Ted Christensen should
appoint his private secretary-and no two of the
suggestive hinters hit on the same person. 1t
is probably just as well for everyone to learn
thus early in Ted's gubernatorial career that he
will be ALL the governor the state of Minnesota
has and is perfectly capable of making his own
appointments along with doing the rest of his
work. We are not intimating that Ted is bull
headed-he is anything else but! But he knows
the work he has to do and the people whom
he can ask to help him do it most effective
ly, better than any of onlookers. Why litter
up the atmosphere with lot of useless sugges-
tons that can accomplish nothing unless it be
embarrassment for Ted His friends at least
should clay off that stuff.

Many kind things are being said about the
sort of campaign Floyd B. Olson made, even
his opponents and members of the opposing par.

and free from mudslinging. Personally, having
heard Mr.. Olson's speak just once we take ex-
ception to some Of the kind things being said
However, assuming that he put up most ad-
mirable prediction campaign, it is matter OF
regret land some wonder) that he permitted a
certain afterelecton letter to be sent out in his
name. Maybe Floyd B. is good loser. Maybe
we just think he isn't because we don't know
what a good loser really is. But to our mind
congratulating ones successful rival is the very
least of it.

One of the farmers in this vicinity who is
prone to criticise at divers times made really
startling announcement to the Pilot last Monday.
This farmer had lived within seven miles Of
Lake Wilson for over 43 years. He has devoted
his time entirely to farming and he made the
statement that he made money every year OF
the 43 with the exception of one Of course he
added, we worked hard skimped and saved, but
still we only went on the red side once. What
wonderful tribute to Murray county soil and
to the energy of the farmer. Is there any other
business place in Minnesota that can say truth
fully that it only lost money once in 43 years.

The other day President Coolidge made the
statement that the United States is only FORTY
YEARS away from complete timber exhaustion
And then in the ST. Peter Herald we read this
elaborate plans are fast nearing COM
pletion for st. Peters second Christmas
celebration under the auspices of st. Pet
err Business Mems association. Decora-
lions galore will adorn the streets, two
thirty foot Christmas trees with electrical
trimmings will be placed at each end of
Minnesota avenue in the business district.
Nearly 100 eight foot trees have been
ordered and each merchant will place one
in trent of his store with decorations"
One hundred trees grown to eight feet high
means quite grove in the near future, doesn't
it? And yet this grove is to be sacrificed for
just one Christmas in just one town. When that
is multiplied by ALL the towns that think that
such decoration is part Of their Christmas OBJ
servance (and the number of such towns is in
creasing alarmingly this year, and then multiply
this number by ALL the years when this thing
will be fad, it is thing to make angels weep!
OF what purpose is all this conservation stuff it
we won't begin little conservation right in our
own homes and in our own towns! If only st.
Peter were doing this it wouldn't be SO serious.
But all over the state this plan of similar street
decorations has sprung up. 1t may be the pro-
per thing to do but on the face of it lacks both
sanity and safety.

But only GOD can make TREE!"

The child must be given the mean:

1. The child must be given the means
requisite for its normal development,
both materially and spiritually.
2. The child that is hungry must be
fed; the child that is sick must be help
ed; the delinquent child must be re-
claimed, and the orphan and the waif
must be sheltered and succored.
8. The child must be the first to re-
ceive relief in times of distress.
a. The child must be put in position
to earn a livelihood, and must be pro-
tected against every point of exploit
alton.
s. The child must be brought up in
the consciousness that its talents must
be devoted to the service of its fellow
men.
