HERALD EDITORIALS THANKSGIVING Annually Americans have celebrated Thanksgiving day since the distant time when the Puritans set apart a season for formal expression of gratitude. They had been permitted to survive many hardships. They had been blessed with abundant crops. Each year the President by proclamation sets Thanksgiving day as the last Thursday in November. In each of the several states there follow proclamations of similar tenor. It is a pleasing and beneficial custom. About it are woven some of the finest American traditions. Its recurrence calls to mind old family ties and old friendships, or it brings the household and relatives into intimate touch. Tables are laden. They become typical of the bounty for which acknowledgment is being made to divine grace. A glance at conditions throughout the world reveals that this great nation is the most fortunate upon which the sun is shining. It has problems, but it meets them boldly, and with a glad hope. It has burdens. Compared with those that other peoples must carry, they seem wondrous light. If the dwellers in the favored region hereabouts will but reflect, they must realize that among millions living in the United States, they have an environment most benign. In the future they discern a richer promise than others may see. They have resources in undeveloped wealth, in climate, in sheer beauty that elsewhere may not be matched. Even during a term in which business depression has marked some sections, most sections, in truth they have been in the center of the financial white spot of the land. Richly have their acres yielded. New capital has come in. Comment on By Henne but reflect, they must realize that among millions living in the United States, they have an environment most benign. In the future they discern a richer promise than others may see. They have resources in undeveloped wealth, in climate, in sheer beauty that elsewhere may not be matched. Even during a term in which business depression has marked some sections, most sections, in truth they have been in the center of the financial white spot of the land. Richly have their acres yielded. New capital has come in. Virile Americans from the less hospitable Atlantic side, have been won to permanent residence, and are happy in the new surrounding and enthusiastic in developing it; adding to its riches and its beauty. As this is written a window by the desk is wide open. Women who pass are without wraps. Girls on their way from school wear flimsy, pretty dresses, chattering bare-headed in the afternoon sun. Taken into consideration along with the fact that bitter cold prevails in many places, that the middle west is snow-bound, and the northwest, with the deepest drifts for years, has a temperature 24 below, all this has a bearing on Thanksgiving. It is an inspiration to gratitude. Aside from all strictly material matters, the people of the United States may be thankful that American statesmanship has undertaken the giant task of bringing about peace among the nations of the earth; that the response to the friendly overtures has been warm and general.

MCGINIS! AHEIM DAILY HER Comment on Day's News By Henry James While there is a tendency to glorify crime, it might be well to consider the case of one Spurgin, once a banker in Chicago, and now a fugitive. One day a poor woman went into his bank, known then to be insolvent. She desired to deposit $15. The teller, having a remnant of conscience, hesitated to take it, but Spurgin instructed him otherwise. She lost that money, of course, and the rest of her deposit. Not so much glory in that. While a mother was trying to comfort a fretful baby in a department store, some thief took her purse. Nobody offers the need of glory to the skulking miscreant. Somebody steals the wheel of a working lad who had used it in earning his daily bread. The larcenist wins no glory. The fellow who robs an oil station, or a store, or some belated pedestrian, or throws the owner of an automobile out, and drives away, is not a hero. But a sneaking, lazy lout, with health and strength and skill, declining to work, turns mail robber. Such of his booty as does not represent gain, he casts away, causing grievous loss to others. When captured he boasts that he will get away, and up to the present he has succeeded. As a prisoner he boasts of his prowess, his bravery, his love for the wife and child basely deserted by him. Altogether he is portrayed, largely by his own account, as a worthless, dangerous and despicable creature. This is the material that soft-hearted and soft-headed folk have erected to a hero. Why not let the other thieves have a share of the glory? It is frequent for complaint to be made of the theft of a scarfoin. The Fare an warmer an Mister Stewart, the city manager, sed sum peeple turn everythink into fat wich they eat but he sed he dont. He sed Mister Harry Riley does jess the same.

Altogether he is portrayed, largely by his own account, as a worthless, dangerous and despicable creature. This is the material that soft-hearted and soft-headed folk have erected to a hero. Why not let the other thieves have a share of the glory? It is frequent for complaint to be made of the theft of a scarfpin. The loser will state that the value of the article was $1000 or $2000, and that some rude person snatched it while the street car was crowded. In these troublous times, when the sinner is abroad, meaning that he is at home also, the best place to wear a $2000 scarfpin is at the bottom of a safety deposit box. There can be no real occasion for lighting one's way into the ordinary street car by the flash of a diamond. The senate has knocked out the proposal to fix the inheritance tax on estates of $100,000,000 or over 50 per cent. There are not many estates of such magnitude. Perhaps had the tax been approved the heirs would have won a decision that they had been made the victims of special legislation. A dispatch from La Grande, Ore., tells of a heavy fall of snow there. The item recalls a time long past. In December of 1884 a train pulled into La Grande from the east, and stopped. A furious storm was raging and the road ahead was blocked. Twenty-four hours later the road behind also was blocked, and the train nearly buried under the drifts. To make a long story short, the train stayed right there for twenty-one days. Amusements were few and grub inferior. Probably none of the passengers ever had experienced so prolonged a period of twenty-one days. The season still is mentioned in the northwest as the "winter of the big snow." Japan's great naval victory in the war with Russia is being described. The purpose of the description just at this time doubtless is to warn this country against the prowess of Japan. The United States, however, ever appreciative of good intent, and duly grateful therefor, probably attaches considerable importance to the fact that it is not Russia. I seen Mister Sidney Prince jess now an ast him did he lose anythink when the robbers near got everythink in his store an he sed no George I didnt lose nothin but I cum near losin my self respects when I hurd a bout it first.

I don't know who he is, where he came from, or why He's alone there on Thanksgiving day. But I know from the far away look in his eye That the dream in his mind's far away; The waiter has served him his dinner in state, But he does not once look and he seems Quite unconscious of napkin and food and of plate— And I know there's a girl in his dreams. His fancy has flown to some place far or near, His dream to some other spot flies, I don't know where it is but I know it's not here From the long, lonesome look in his eyes. He's not paying heed, as a happy man ought To his cakes and his bon-bons and creams, He should be engaged with dessert, but he's notI'm sure there's a girl in his dreams. Yes, it might be his wife he is dreaming of now, It might be the girl of all girls, It might be his mother, with her silvered brow, Or a three-year-old miss with bright curls. I'm sure I can't say; but the music plays on, And the light from the chandelier gleams, And he sits there nor heeds what has come or has gone— So I know there's a girl in his dreams. Alone is the lonesomest kind of alone When it's dinner time Thanksgiving day, And the heart in your breast is as heavy as stone When the dream of you fares far away; When he sits alone there, or you do, or I, When the lights from the chandelier gleam, When soft music plays, there's a long, lonesome sigh, And a girl, yes, some girl, in the dream.

Stewart Something's got to be done about our heroes and heroines! The average novel of today portrays an entirely abandoned species. Is it a hero? He calmly relates his most intimate relationships with this favorite and that (it takes at least three hoetic amours to make a book), reveals his total ignorance of honor, drinks wildly in spite of the Volstead act, and enjoys reeling off by the page his cheap cynicism and opinions of all things sacred. He had rather not be read about than to lack the iconoclastic color. And the heroines! Far removed are they from the lachrymose Elsie Dinsmores and unbelievably good Ellen Montgomeries, the simple Megs and Beths and Roses of the last generation. They have swung to the opposite extreme—instead of pausing in perfect equilibrium. They sit cross-legged on the tables, clad in scanty habilaments. They smoke numberless cigarettes (no pipes as yet, but probably that will come). They hesitate not to refute all the old womanly beliefs and ideals. They insist on "freedom," which, to them, is merely license to follow where fancy leads. They unblushingly analyze their sentences, they declare their desire for caresses, they do not scruple to swear when they think occasion demands an epithet. We must read to keep up with the times—to gain a realistic view of life. So we are told. But it isn't necessary to wade in sewers to know that they are smelly and foul. It isn't necessary to devour salacious fiction to realize that there is evil in the world. Surely there is sweetness and charm left about which to write. Why not make use of that? ARE YOU SURE?
