Thanksgiving.
President Taft's 1910 Thanksgiving
day proclamation was a
model of snrh
Intdriiments. It began by at knowl-,
edging the beneficences of the records
of population and harvests showing
progress, growth and health and the
expansion of industry with its index
to prosperity and our peace with other
nations. These are aur for na
tional thanksgiving. Hut aside from
them each Individual Id this country
has his and her cause for thanksgiv
ing, no matter what their lot may be.
To live in a land and an agf like this
is a blessing no one should under
value. The great fault of most people is to
take things for granted, to grow in
different to health, or wealth, or the
opportunity , to acquire an honorable
living, an education; to enjoy one's
family and friends and the modern
conveniences and comforts of tb,l9 day. j
We accept all these things utterly
careless as to their origin or their cost.
They came from somewhere. Some
body In some way paid for them. But
we take them, use or abuse them and
demand more without so much as a
single inquiry, often, as to their source.
This air of nonchalant haughtiness is
too common. It tends to give us the
wrong vision of life and to make us
sordid, thus impairing our. usefulness
to others. It is this very element in
people that makes them selfish. And
when Thanksgiving day comes round
many of us,' Instead of being grateful
for what we have, complain that we
bave not more. That is the effect of
this habit of taking things for granted.
Thanksgiving day is not a day to
sum up what you think, the world owes
you. But too many people seem to
think It is. It would be better if they
turned the tables and footed up the
column to see what they owed the
world. Society is the natural creditor
of the Individual, not the debtor.
When we get that principle properly
fixed in our minds we will be better
able to appreciate what we have to be
thankful for, no matter whether it
may appear great or small.
Will the Eoads Heed the Advice?
Legislatures will soon convene in
many states. It will be of interest to
observe whether railroads generally
will act on the advice of Messrs. Kahn,
Mellen, Wlllard and other transporta
tion kinga who urga the corporations
to withdraw from politics. Daniel
Willard, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio', la the latest to lift his voice
against railroad interference with leg
islation and politics. In a speech at
New York he said:
I think the roads should, keep out of
politics. This makes' It nec-Muury to take
the, public Into thslr oonfldancev s tar as
possible, so that the publlo, being fully
and correctly . Informed, nay act Intelli
gently and fairly toward the railroads.
Let the paopla wh. use th. reads and
want th roads bow Indicate that, having
secured the paitsage of such laws as they
considered neoesary In order to 'create the
conditions complained of, they are now
willing to forget the past and open a t.eW
account with the future. Let them con
alder each new proposal tor legislative
restriction with studied freedom 1 from
any spirit of retaliation. Let them hold
their official representattyes strictly ao
constable for adopting no new restriction
which Is sot urgently needed. There lias
been too muoh legislation. If a, more
conservatlra attitude should result In
giving the railroads a respite from
further regulation, for a time' at least,
and until they can wars, out some of the
many problems confronting them, the
patient now Indisposed will Immediately
abow algna of convalescence
Four essential, ends are possible by
following this advice: First, reduc
tion of expenses of railroads; second.
reduction of number of laws; -third,
cultivation of a better feeling with the
public; fourth, tendency to improve
the character of the officeholders,
Vested interest have a right to fair
representation t their property rights
are too valuable and Important to be
subjected to wanton abuse, but they
bave no right to dictate our legislation
and they should not for their own
sakes continue to make targets for the
unscrupulous to shoot at.
New York's Next Senator.
One need not go to a democratio
viewpoint to agree with the New York
Evening Post that the entire country
has an Interest in the election of a
strong man as senator from that state
to succeed Chauncey M. Depew. To
allow Tammany to foist one of lis
tool pigeons on the people in that
Important capacity would be a calam
ity felt far beyond the boundaries of
New York. As the Poet says, "Really
able democratic senators from the
north are scarce as hen's teeth and no
one can honestly ssy that In the pres
ent bouse there are democratio lead
ers of truly national pre-eminence."
If the next, senator from the Em
pire state must be a democrat, he
should be the beat man that party has
for the place and under no circum
stances one of the pawns which Tam
many uses on its political chessboard.
The nation la not In the mood Just
now for that sort of thing, and if the
decent democrats of. New York can
block Tammany's greed they will have
done something worth while. But
they will make a serious mistake not
to be on the alert against the Tam
many power and subtle skill, for the
sinister influence embodied lu that or
ganization certainly will not allow the
senatorial succession to go by default.
Iu view of the situation the men
tion of Kdnard M. Sheperd for the
toga la likely to arouse response out

public endorsement of bim as the man
best fitted for the place ought to give
bim some advantage. Undoubtedly

Not Canadian Land Alone.
An Omaha correspondent, writing
to a New York paper, enumerating his
reasons for prosperity In the west.
makes this interesting observation
That our western farmers are able to
Invest In cheap Canadian lands
Is re-
Karded as an evidence of strength.
That may be true enough, but why
slop with "cheap Canadian land?"
Why not mention cheap Nebraska,
Wyoming, North and South Dakota,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon,
Washington, Utah or California land?
In every one of these states good land
is for sale at reasonable prices, and
when Its proximity to markets. Its
railroad facilities, the climate, the
government's aids to fertility aro
taken Into account, it, iu the majority
of cases, surpasses all comparison
with the available land in western
Canada. Our friend must bave over
looked this fact, for certainly no man
w-ho lives west of the Missouri river
and keeps his eyes open to what ia go
ing on about him can be insensible to
the advantages offered in land owning
in these western states.
There need be no effort to decry the
buying of land in Canada, but it is not
quite fair to bold up the purchase of
this land as an "evidence of strength"
in the financial situation of the west
without going fully Into the case. We
very much doubt, when it comes to an
honest analysis of the facts, if the
Canadian land investments form any
considerable factor in the status of the
money market out here, anyway. It
must be remembered that, with all the
purchase of Dominion land, a great
proportion of the Investors has come
from states further east, at least east
of the Missouri river, though, of course,
many of them have been from states
west, but in the meantime a far
greater number has Invested In farms
in the western part of the United
States.
It is rather interesting, however,
that only a short time ago some of
these same expert field financiers were
holding up this very matter of land
buying as one of the dampers on the
money market.
City Attorney Bine.
The vacancy in the office of city at
torney created by the death of the lato
Incumbent has been filled by the elec
tion of one of his assistants, John A.
Rine, for the unexpired term. As a
lawyer Mr. Rine has not yet set the
wooda afire, but be Is credited with
rendering faithful and efficient service
as one of the lesser lights in the city
legal department, and it is up to bim
to show whether he can rise to the oc
casion and make good as head of the
establishment. The city of Omaha is
a big corporation with many and
varied activities that must conform to
the requirements of the law. When
the city gets into court it needs strictly
legal ability, but in countless matters
arising every day it wants common
sense as well as the law. Only if Mr.
Rine ran combine these requisites will
he make a success of It and Justify bis
promotion.
A Preposterous Proposition,
lu an address delivered before the
Railway Business association, an or
ganization representing railroad sup
ply concerns, and sent broadcast over
tbe country, Chairman Knapp of tbe
Interstate Commerce commission lays
down the peculiar theorem that the
railroads should be permitted to
charge transportation ratea on a basis
that would enable them to build ex
tensions and betterments out of
earnings' without adding to their
capital.
It Is hard to understand how anyone
ahould seriously advance this prepos
terous proposition or undertake to set
up for the railroads a rule which ap
plies In no other kind of business. It
an established railroad ahould want to
build new lines or enlarge Its termi
nals, why should It expect Its patrons
to furnish money which the owners
would furnish if tbe railroad were a
new road? We readily concede that
every business establishment would be
glad to make Its customers buy goods
at prices leaving a sufficient profit to
meet all cost of enlargement and in
crease of working capital. But no
business establishment is permitted to
do this. If the railroads are asking
the Interstate Commerce commission
to authorize an Increase of rates in
order to make the people pay, not only
the cost of operating expense. Interest
and dividends, but also to furnish the
capital for all their future undertak
ings, tbe people should ask them to
Issue stock In return and eventually
the people would 'own tbe railroads
themselves Instead of the present
owners
We bave no doubt that most of the
value of the existing railroads baa
come out of the shippers in extortion
ate rates, but heretofore the justifica
tion has always been attempted on
other grounds. Not tbe cast amer.lng
thing Is that this prepotrous propo
sition should be given currency by a

Wher 'twaa left on th porch by Mary
Ann;
He had staggered away as Straight aa he
could,
And he wasn't feelin' extry good
Aa he aat in th tree, with an air deaigned
To arouse great pity iu human kind.

And as he aat in th tree and sighed
He wished that he in his youth had died;
II wondered w hat he had don amies
To bring on himself such woe as this:
And silently there he kept anlff-snuff lng
As he thought of tha roast and th oyater
atuffi ug;
But all at one his countenance beamed
And a satisfied smile uer his feature
streamed.
And, quoth he, aa ha gave on vigorous
shake.

Of holidays w have already a sufficient
number. The calendar could not com

ing as we do, first of all, for on complet
day of rt In seven for every worker, w
have no sympathy with any movement to
Increase the number of holidays, when the
ordinary and necessary business of the
world often suffers violent Interruption.
The deslrstum Is to make the most and
best of what we have, to Induce a more
reasonable observance of th holiday al
ready on th calendar. As a means to
this end, w heartily second the sugges
tion recently made In Canada to hav
Thanksgiving day on Monday Instead of
Thursday. There la no necessary or
saored association that calls for Thurs
day any mora than any other day.
Indeed, th Puritan settlers put in
a whole week In th earliest Thanks

day makes an Inconvenient Interruption
