cess to see 10 feet in front Of them.
But the power remains in the hands
of the people. Be thankful.
THIS Is the appropriate day, 70 be
4 unusually thankful.
We are still out of the League Of
Nations. Be thankful.
We haven't yet been pushed into
that world court, which would sub
ordinate the Supreme Court of the
United States to c<lection of Eu-
ropeans that envy, hate and despise
the United States. Be thankful.
WE owe some billions Of dollars,
w but could pay everything In
year IL we had to. Be thankful.
Our dollar is worth one hundred
cents. Everything in the United
States Is worth more today than 1t
ever was. Every individual in the
United States has a better chance to-
day than he ever had before. Be
thankful.
WE have enough for everybody in
w this country and for 100000
600 more inhabitants. We have a
science highly developed, business Or
ganized with extraordinary efficiency
ready to develop all sources. Be
thankful.
VNE do not do as much THINK
w ING as we might. We do not
pay as much attention as we should
to the ballot, to our duties as voters.
Only about half vote that ought to
vote.
WE are rather too well satisfied
w with ourselves, which is a dan
gerous sign. We have two jokes,
called, respectively. the army and
navy, supposed to defend the coun-
try; both worthless in defense.
HTHE G. o. p. woos Florida"
4 That's a line by telegraph tell
ing that Republican politicians hope
TO change Florida to a Republican
State. About a million voters from
the north are supposed to have gone
there, and Republicans think they
may add Florida to the G. o. p.
ranks.

THE Mitchell trial as an exhibit

better than the withdrawing in the
Shenandoah investigation.
But the matters involved will not
end with the close of farcial trial
and investigation.
Senators King and Walsh and
others in the Senate who do their
own thinking, will have something to

victory, may scrape off tho white
wash.
That's possible, not very PROB
