His Saner, the Acting Mayor.
During the absence of Mayor Dahl

opportunity to serve as acting mayor
long enough to wear the strangeness
eff the job, One thing may be de
pended on, his honor, tho acting
mayor, will gira us a perfectly eafo
and san,o administration. He will
not ropo any wild horses In front of
the city hall; he will not write any
fool letters that ought to he torn up,
and he will not leave any goed noney
lying around loose. It Is reasonable
,to expectt also, that It will net ha so
easy to get pardons for rrietias

The caretil anteist puts en double
breaks of ' precaution .when the
Btreeta are as slippery as tkey have
been In Omana of late, knowing that
at beet It is. hard to prevent skidding,
and that ekkfdthg Is extra dangerour,
especially In crowded downtown
thoroughfares, Thus, at such times
It behooves Jill who. delve cars' to ex
ercise special prudence, for unless all
do there still remains the HKeimoou
of accidents. The aafo chauffeur
cannot aline save the day In fair
weather or foul.
Of course, aU autelets. know,. these

Hunger lerixt, vs. Tariff,
It ie plain new, we believe, beyond
a shadow of,a doubt, that the old heu
ia no respecter of tariffs. The tariff

troeeways, but hea fntlt, ready for
market, puraues tho even tenor of tho

ran't lay fast enough to supply the)
capacious aiaw of the cold storage
cavern and the increasing demand
for "strictly; freshles" at the Bamo
trine aU the. year around. It anyone
oi pec ted a democratic tariff to give
tus more eggs, and cheaper eggs, ljo
mbst admit It was a delusion. A
hunger strike against eggs seems to
bo the only. Weapon that will do what
the new democratic tariff has failed
to do.
Complaint continues that loo large
a proportion ot our fires are products
of Incendiarism. We are supposed
to be under the protection of a state

but, o far as we know, prosecution
and conviction, of firebugs are mighty
few and far between.

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS.

r1ew them And exnmlne;
Are they because our feast IS full while
others share a famine? a u.
Are they because we ride, the road which
others pick and shovri? j -
Are they because our Wills are wide
while others crowd a hovel? -Are
they because ur limbs are swathed;
while some aro rawed by weather,?,,
Or Are they only for the gifts we all mas'
share together? i
Thanks are not thknks which only make
another's! want our measure, .
Or only by another's pain to gauge a eN
fish pleasure. '
Thanks Are not thanks whose Words are
stones to pelt a lesser brother, '
Or thAt We make our blessedness the
burdtn of another.
Thanks are n6t thanks for tender palms
that Others be as leather;
Thanks are but thanks ror such good
gifts as all hands hold together. -
