Comparative Election Figures.
Tho total voto cast In the general
election this year, according to tho
figures Just Issued, was less than that
of 1008, which means, no doubt, that
thousands of republicans romalncd
away from tho polU through sheer
disgust. In 1008 tho total voto was
14,582,987; this year lt'-was 14,
290,737.
.Those who bet that Wilson's total
would be less than Bryan's four years
ngo won, for according to theso fig-
urco, Wilson had 0,160,748 as com
pared with Bryan's 0,303,128. Also
thoso wagering that Wilson would
not match tho comblnod voto of Taft
and Roosovolt won, for Wilson lacked
moro than 1,000,000 of it.
Ono of tho eurprlBlng features of
these returns Is tho small disparity
botweon tho Taft and Roosevelt
totals. Whllo Roosovolt's backers
havo boon claiming 4,000,000 popular
votes for their man, the figures show
tho colonol received 3,928,140, as
against 3,370,422 for Taft. Consider
lng tho vast number of republicans
who evidently did not voto at nil, and
others who supported Wilson, this
showing is qulto surprising for Taft.
Bit if t)iat theory contains, then, of
course, It niUBt bo conceded that somo
democrats failed to voto at nil or for
Wilson.
The socialists gained nearly n quar
ter of a million votos, ralliug far
short of their clalniB, totaling 073,
783, Tho prohlbltlonlstB also fell
down, actually losing this yoar nearly
100,000 votca.
Another Divine Right Trust.
Ten years ugo tho managor of tho
Harvester trust claimed tho divine
right of hlB corporation to mou'opollzo
tho trndo qf tho universe It was
about the same tlmo thnt tho presi
dent of .an anthracite coal rullroad
arrogated' to himself a,n,d ,hls com
pany similar rights. Tho harvester
man based his claim upon tho fact
that his company negan Its operations
at tho soil, therefore was peculiarly
destined to servo tho-people..

WHY IS THANKSGIVING?
An Ancient Cuitom Very little Changed with the Passing; Years.
Nine years hence will mark the Snoth
anniversary of the first recorded Thanks
giving observance by white people In this
country- It was ono of tho many ancient
j notions brought over sea by the Pilgrim
I Fathers and planted In the soil of Ply

custom runs so far 1hc4; toward the
dawn ot humanity that trading .It Is

ONE TERM FOR PRESIDENTS
Action Probable at the Coming Seision of Congress.
Washington Dispatch
The first legislative business that will
come before the senate when It meets
next month wilt be a Joint resolution, of
fered by Senator Cummins of Iowa, pro
viding for submitting to tho states a bro-
posed constitutional amendment fixing
tho terms of the president and vice presi
dent of tho United States at six years.
and making persons who have served In
tho office of president Ineligible for re
electloq. This resolution was reported
favorably by the senate judiciary com
mittee. It Is carried on the senate cal
endar as the unfinished business ot that
body.
There- were Indications today that an
active effort would bn made to have tho
senate adopt the resolution. From pres
ent prospects those In favor of the mea
sure are hopeful ot success. A similar
resolution, presented, by Ucpresentatlvo
Clayton of Alabama, has., been reported
favorably to tho house tiy . the Judiciary
cotpmltlee of that body, of wjdeh Mr.
Clayton Is chairman. It was, predicted
today that It the senate should adopt the
Cutnmlns resolution, tho house would fol
low suit.
The chances are thnt when tho Cum
mins resolution Is debated In the' sen
ate thero will be much discussion as to
whether, should the required number of
states favor the proposed amendment,
thus making It part ot the constitution.
It could bo held to apply to Woodrow Wil
son's term as president, or would not be
come operative until 1917'. Although there
aro many republican and progressive sen
ators who are In favor of the Cum
mins resolution, It Is probable that some
of them, perhaps most of- them, would
Insist that ,fo proposed amendment
should be so changed as 'to prevent Wood-

"OMAHA. Nov. 21. To the. Editor ot The
nee: I wish to thank you for starting
the discussion of better street car service.
The fine weather this, fall has caused
many persons, to walk who would havo
ridden had the weather been Inclement.
If tha cars ar so crowded, under these
conditions, what will become ot us during
cold and stormy weather. If the street
car company would only put on moro
cars during rush hours on stormy days
It would be a boon to, all, for while people
will not go out for pleasure on ,such
days, yet the majority have to go to
work, and all want to ride.
If the company- treated the public
square ther would not be so much
fraudulent use of transfers. Very truly.

OMAHA. Nov. To the Editor of Tha

the commission form ot government
spoiled one ot our best and roost useful
departments?

waa followed by a worthy successor,

a competent force of assistant engineers,

sites, etc.. men who worked on some of

Johnston's first proclamation, after the
surrender of Lee, states that "It bus

which Is now coming to an end, lo re

with ' one' exception, expressed the spirit

The.oKceptlon wa.i the proclamation of
President McKlnley In 133. the conclusion
of the Spanish war enabling him to vary

reference to our national feast of Thanks
giving, Keats' "Ode to Autumn" Is gen
erally considered a poem of' the season.
The first stanza runs: ,
Season of mists and yellow frultfulnessl
Close bosom rrlend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and
bless
With fruit the vinos that round tho
thatch-eaves run:
To bend with apples the moss'd , cottage
trees.
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel
Shells
With a aweet kernel; lo set budding more.
Ana sun more, later iiowers ror tne Dees.

For summer has o'erbrlmmed their
clammy cells. 1
And thus, with all his familiar charm
and magic, the poet concludes:
Where aro the songs of spring? Ay,
whero are thei7
Think not of them; thou hast thy music,
too.
While barred clouds bloom the soft, dying
day.
And touch tho stubble paths with rosy
hue;
Then In a wailful choir the small gnats
mourn.
Along the river swallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wlncUllvrs or dies.
And full grown Iambs loud bleat from

Hedge crickets sing; and now with trcblo

Two redbreast whistles from a garden

row Wilson from getting the benefit of
a, six-year term, when he was elected for
four years only.
Whether sentiment will develop In con
gress for or against including In the pro
posed amendment a provision that would
prohibit ex-Presldcnt Roosevelt or Presi
dent Taft from serving .again as president
has not been discussed by senators or
representatives now In "Washington who
aro Interested In the subject.
Coincident with the discussion concern
ing the Cummins and Clayton resolutions,
thero Is talk In Washington that friends
of Champ Clark have decided to begin
work right away with the object of hav
ing Mr. Clark nominated for president by
the democratic party In 1916. It Is argued,
In behalf or this movement, that there
will be nothing In It disloyal to President
elect Wilson. Mr. Clark's friends contend
that the one-term plank In the democratic!
national platform, on which Dr. Wilson
was elected. Commits him to thqt princi
ple, and that It Is perfectly proper for
the Clark adherents to assume that
President-elect Wilson will not be a
candidate to succeed himself.
Ono of the arguments adavneed in favor
of the one-term, resolutions pending lr
congress Is that the principle Involved
was endorsed by tlw overwhelming dem
ocratic victory this year. It Is believed
that the house, with Its present large
democratic majority, will acc.pt the reso
lution because ot tho declaration In tho
democratic national platfo-m. The demoj
cratlc senators. It la contended, will ac
cept the measure for the same reason,
and with many republican and progres

Springfield Republican; it Is wrong In
principle for former presidents of the
United States to become the recipients
of private bounty In this form.
Roston Transcript: The obvious im
propriety of accepting Mr. Carnegie's
offer suggests the thought that his only
purpose In, making It was to prod con
gress Into solving the problem of "What
to do with our ex-presidents."
Philadelphia Record: The terms of
the proposed gift made the continuance
ot the Carnegie pensions contingent upon
tbe failure of congress to provide, the
same. Hut the proposal has arousal
resentment rather than contrition in the
public mind, and Instead of predisposing
popular opinion in favor of such pensions
It hts stiffened opposition to the sugges
tion. New York Sun: There Is certainly no'
reason why a former president of the
United States should be a parasite on ,i
dropHlcal private fortune made out of out
grown .commercial vices like rebates, out
of an outgrown syatem like "protection for
protection's sake, fines levied on the
majority to give one little struttMig
plutocrat immortal opportunity for ad
vertising. Chicago Record-Herald; The right of
the Carnegie corporation to offer pen
sions to ex-prtsidents is plain and un
deniable; -VWbether -any ex-president
will detm-It -compatible with his dignity
and self-respect to accept such a pension
from a private source Is dlsttncilr open
to doubt. Doubtless Mr. Carnegie i
aware of this, and his real object is to
accelerate action by congress. If so. be
wlU not mind a'lttUe hostile criticism in
certain quarters.

THANKSGIVING.
W. D. Kesblt In Chicago Post.
A little load that winds Its way
Around the hill.
The old, old tree that whfl and sway,
The- criimbllng milt.
Tho drowsing fields where drifts of sjiqw.
The rambling lane.
Thj heart that thrills nl( qUKKly; so.
We're home again !
And old-time songs wo hall forgot
This Is our shame;
Hushed speech, ot friend who now ore
not;
The ruddy flame
Of groat logs In the rirWnln&e th?re,
And sparks that fly;
The creak of nn old rocking chair', ,
A smile, a sigh.
To gate out through the frosted jian'o.
And trace the ways .
tWe rambled In the sun and ratn
In olden duys;
To hear the old gnto click, nnd all
The olden sounds;
To sit and silently reeull
Life's varied rounds.
To see the twilight creeping dotv.n
From, out the fky; .
To see the twinkling lights Of town'
To tart reply, '
To sec gray hair where none were, -then
And wrinkles, too - " .. " .
To think how has the world of men
Ho'.d ilfe'and you!
And to bo glad for iill,.of this, v
For. nit the glow
That lives to bless us from what Is
The long ngo '
To be glad that the walidptlng ways
O'er tend and foum
Have led us thrbtigh the circling daya
And brought us home! .
