WHY WE ARE THANKFUL

Without enlllating the Publican who thanked God he not like ether men there IS food for much thanks giving that Alaska has escaped much O the misery which has beset fellows in less fortunate position Ill the great competitive world abroad.
 Like the Pilgrim Fathers who barred their heads while kneeng in the snow and thanked God for the pri viege of enduring harships and deprvations in their thirst for liberty and opportunity the people of the iron tier may lit up their eyes and give thanksgiving for the fact that they set down in close harmony with Nature n all of it's beauty and inspiration and armed with health and courage ale carry did the architects of the nation.
 True we have suffered in material sense, but in the fna! computation of vital values find that have gained in spiritual treasures. Not the least of these is the sharing of each others joys and and emerg ing better prepared carry the work of nation build ing Unhampered by the vcisstudes which have fallen like a mdeW upon great portion of the world.
 What we have we create with our own bralns and hands Such creation is enduring it is inspiring In the labor gains moral strength which cannot be shak shattered by the assaults of varying fortunes
 Thus Thanksgiving Day is for real thanksgiving when one may gather about him evidences of the treas ures he has created and mediate upon the roseae future so bright in promise of the good things of life.
 We believe it was Secretary of Commerce Chapin who said conference of business leaders in Washington would mean much to industry, agriculture and labor For instance the demand of the mliondollar officials of the railroads for further cut of 10 per cent wages top of the 10 per cent already imposed.

THE SCHOOLS JOB

WHEN Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing
w Sing complained to convention of
teachers recently that the schools are ig-
noring moral training, he voiced a
thought which has occurred to a good
many Americans.
1.-The splendid and costly educational
program which has been the pride of our
government through the decades" said
Warden Lawes, "has done nothing to
mold the character of the people It's
insistence on scholastics has left no room
for character training
This, perhaps, is a rather common
complaint; and, when you stop to think
about it, it seems wholly justified. Yet
it arises, in part at least, from a con-
fusion as to the function of the school,
a confusion which is and always has been
widespread in the United States.
The schools job is to prepare its pu-
pills for life, to fit them for their places
in the modern world, to acquaint them
with life about them and to train them
so that they may make the most of their
talents and opportunities.
This job can hardly be done properly
if the pupils character development is
ignored. Yet the school, from the very
nature of things, can go only part of the
way in that field. In broad and gener-
al way it can instill certain fundamental
principles into its pupils; but the real
job of moral training, of character build
ing, is the job of the parents. 1t always
has been and it always will be.
If there is failure anywhere, it seems
more probable that it is failure on the
part of the home rather than on the
part of the school.
For the parents responsibility does
not end when he has given his children
a comfortable place to sleep, plenty Of
food and clothing and chance at a good
education. Any state-supported dormi-
tory could do as much. Whatever moral
training the child gets, the bulk of it
must be imbibed at home. If we are
sending out into the world a younger
generation deficient in cnaracter-and
there is lots of room for argument on
that charge - it is not fair to lay the
blame on the schools

CIANNINI GIVES
FINE COMPLIMENT
TO NEWSPAPERS

The Bank of America, said to be
one of the largest and most con-
sistent users of newspaper space of
any strictly California organization,
has found that newspaper adver-
tising pays big dividends, according
to A. P. Giannini, chairman of the
board and founder of the bank. In
support of this belief, he cites the
| results obtained by the banks
Back to Good Times campaign
which is largely founded upon news
paper advertising.
When Giannini returned to the
Bank Of America, as chairman of
its board of directors, he called his
advertising staff together and told
them that he wanted the Bank of
America to do something construc-
tive, something in big way that
would be helpful to California, his
native state. The result was the
Back to Good Times" campaign.
Giannini gives the following fig
ures to support his contention that
newspaper advertising pays. At the
close Of business, June 30, 1882, the
410 offices of the Bank of America,
located in 243 California commune
ties, reported total gain of $51, :
100000 in deposits and 10000 new
customers. Furthermore, Giannini
points out that this campaign has
been a tremendous lifting power in
| speeding the return of prosperity to
/ California.

POLICE HELPING BOYS

WHILE politics. industry and interna
w tional affairs hold their place on the
front page lot of interesting and i'm.
portant news tends to get overlooked
There is, for instance, the way in which
the New York police force has organ
lied a baseball league among some 5000
youthful Manhattan East Siders.
This affair, perhaps, can't compare in
Importance with such things as political
conventions and reparations conferences.
But it is, nevertheless, one of the most
significant experiments any police de-
partment in the country has ever at
tempted.
The New York cops have helped these
boys organize a baseball league, provid-
ing the umpires for the games, arrang-
ing schedules, keeping track of batting,
fielding and pitching averages, finding
fields for the players and seeing to it
that everything runs smoothly. And they
have not only enlisted 5000 boys, between
the ages of 10 and Is, in their athletic
clubs; the games played have drawn
around 250,000 customers so far this
year.
This program was announced by Pc
lice Commissioner Mulrooney as part of
a crime-preyention campaign. 1t is about
ds Wise liIIllS DIS any pOIlCe uepdI IILleIl
could hope to do.
In the first place, it gives young city
lads something to do with their spare
time. Youngsters who are playing base
ball steadily don't have a great deal of
time for corner pool room or speakeasy
loafing Furthermore. such things don't
look so attractive to them. Nor is lad
to whom athletic greatness is something
to be desired nightly quite as ready to
make hero out of gangland big shot.
But there is another angle to it which is
equally important. The boy in this New
York baseball league is discovering that
the cop is his friend, instead of grow
ing up with the notion that the cop is an
enemy to be outwitted. Anyone who has
studied the growth of metropolitan gangs
can tell you how helpful the growth of
such an attitude could be.
These New York policemen have hit
upon an extremely fine idea. The police
of other cities could copy it to great ad-
vantage.

Funeral Rites

Raymond Fritcher, 29-year-old con-
vict, serving 20 year term in Au-
burn prison was permitted to leave
his cell in order that he might at
tend the funeral of his younger
brother in East Syracuse.
Fritchers right hand was shac-
kled to that of an armed guard.
In his left hand was clutched
tiny bouquet of wild flowers.
The youthful convict looked a
pathetic figure as he soberly
watched the casket of his brother
lowered into the ground. Equally
! pathetic was the bouquet of wild
flowers as they lay alongside the
more elaborate floral pieces.
Fritcher, after a brief reunion
with his family, was returned to
his prison cell, to reappear no more
for 13 years.

WASHINGTON, July l6. The
march of a hundred United States
marines to the capitol building and
their sudden about face is the sub
ject of much speculation around
Washington.
None is willing to assume respon-
sibility for having called the troops
while the grim bonus marchers
were picketing broad Capitol Plaza.
Vice President Curtis issued a very
formal statement denying that he
had anything to do with lt--but
gossip persists.
Curtis, it was said, had kept
closely in touch with the situation
and with the marines and had a
marine officer in his spacious Of
flee suite to act as liaison. There
he remained for several days sur
rounded by Curtis Indian trophies
and the most beautiful SecIetar.al
staff on the hill.
Finally, it is said, Curtis gave
crisp orders for the marines TO
clear the plaza"
1t is uncertain when the marines
last were called to the capitol.
Some say it was in 1914. Certainly
this was the first time they ever
were sent there by street car.

Judge Condemns
Country Dances

HERKIMFR, N. v, July 16. U.H
The country dances of 10 or 20
years ago when serious youths pill
oted blushing young maidens to the
tunes of the latest two-step or the
more daring ryhthm of the then
popular "AleXander's Rag Time
Band" might have been innocent
enough fun, declared Judge Arnold
Blumberg, but not so the country
dances as conducted these days.
The judge recently sent a letter
to each supervisor in the various
towns and cities in Herkmer coun-
ty stating that many Of the cases
of juvenile delinquency among
young girls resulted from improper
ly conducted country dances.
He said that in many cases liquor
was sold to minors.
"I honestly believe" said the
judge, that conditions which exist
at the public dances in the country
hamlets, in a great degree tear
down the moral standards of the
young people.
