May your Thanksgiving be a happy onel It is up to Carter Glass to let us know whether McAdoo was telling facts. I k If v , If ever Omaha needed the pipe line from i the Wyoming oil fields, now is the time. The "labor party" split before it got its plat form adopted, as might have been expected. Turkey may be out of your reach, but the , land supplies a lot of other things good to eat. Little need to caution people against over eating today the price-fixers attended to that. Nebraska's fire record is mounting too high. More care will save a lot of money to property owners. ' Thirty inmates of a Denver, gambling house were robbed, but the dealer was not in on the play masked bandits did the job. If that Lake Superior storm had not ex 's, tended its jurisdiction quite so widely, Ne braska would have been just as. happy. , "-" Lloyd George is interested in the dry law v reception in the United States. He ought to come over and try to get "a bit of bitter." Occasionally a police judge shows he has. a heart, as witness, the discharge of the woman .accused of stealing coal to keep her sick babies warm. . If one of those' Paris dandies were to walk down an American street in his new costume, he would be taken for the advance agent of a patent medicine show. i Striking steel workers are getting back on the job wherever there is coal enough to keep furnaces going. ; One of these at a time is enough for any country. Coal operators would like to know what business Mr. McAdoo had to stick in just at ; this time. Lots of people are equally curious, ..but the fact remains he started something: Labor members of the British Parliament ask a rise in salary, not being able to keep up 'appearances on their present stipend. Thus :the high cost of living has its effect even on the purest of patriots. " It must be annoying to Dudley Field Malone that "Ambassador" L. C A. K. Martens should ', disclose details of.a little business transaction, ,.in the course of which $1,000 was paid over to the great reformer. But one is hardly expected ,to live on the salary paid the collector of the , port of New York these days. is One of the beauties of modern methods of - doing business is revealed in the case of a car ' of sugar that has rolled about for longer than a ! month, being sold four times and shipped to as many destinations without being delivered at 'any,' but each broker taking his profit This sort of thing is more than any other cause re sponsible for the high cost of living, and only , when it is broken up or regulated will the con .; turner have a chance. Hoover Prophet of Good l It is Mr. Hoover who is credited with say ing that within a few months' time prices will drop 35 per cent Hurrah for Hoover 1 will be ; the cry of the optimist But he is an easy fellow to convince. The pessimist will ask to be shown. Mr. Hoover may have some figures and facts up his sleeve. He may also have some inside information as to the federal measures. But whatever the source of his confidence he is to be praised for throwing one ray of light upon the black screen of high cost despair. Thirty-five per cent decrease in costl Can anyone imagine it? That would mean to give every dollar of the country one-third more pur chasing value. The dollars that count about 50 cents' would then be worth a third more. This would give hope of the return of the day when a dollar might look the owner in the face with a sense of self-respect instead of the abashness that everyone has noted in the currency for a long time past. The scoffer will say: ."Is Mr. Hoover also among the prophets? The cynic will say: "Yes, also among the presidential expectants." But then, there is always someone with a ' bucket of ice water with which to douse anyone who has a real warm feeling of cordiality to ward any prophet of good. But, as a matter of fact some practical joker is probably using the name of Mr. Hopver to perpetrate a grim jest .Baltimore American, - THANKSGIVING. It -matters not which of several versions of the tradition as to the origin of Thanksgiving Day may be accepted as nearest accurate;' the feast is one of peculiar importance. Coming to us as a heritage from the Puritans, it has lost little of its earlier and higher significance. A few may view the feasting and merry-making of the occasion as incompatible with the deep gratitude and profound veneration to and for the Almighty that should properly attend the giving of thanks. These mistake the true spirit of the day. In no way can mortal man better pay homage to his Maker, or more effectively exhibit appreciation of blessings bestowed than by partaking of those blessings to the reason able extent permitted by temperate indulgence. Americans have a great many things to be especially thankful for on this occasion. War with its dread presence no longer hangs over the land, and we have been spared the pestil ence; abundant harvests followed the seed time, and earth has again produced its bounty for man's sustenance and enjoyment; no disaster of moment has disturbed domestic tranquility, and the life of the nation is assured by the re awakened patriotism of the people. Those things that vex us are transitory in their na ture, and not enduring ills , we may not cure, The future beckons with greater reward for higher effort, and no people ever faced a brighter prospect. A nation on its knees is one to be respected God-fearing men founded our government and have preserved it, and, under His providence, it will endure because its people have not turned away from the faith or the worship of Him. All races of the earth here mingle with full and unrestricted liberty to adore the One True God in whatever form or by whatever name they know Him, and for this if for no other reason He should be thanked today. Government and the Coal Situation. Whatever settlement of the miners' wage dis pute may ; be reached by the president's cabi net, tin question of its enforcement looms above all others. Neither the miners nor the operators have agreed in advance to accept the proposed ultimatum. The government came into the case under the assumption that the extraordinary powers granted the president to carry on the war still are vested in him. When the injunction was issued by Judge Anderson, Acting President of the Miners Lewis announced proposed ac quiescence, saying dramatically: "We are American citizens, and cannot fight our govern ment" Nowhere has any inclination been shown by the miners to put this sentiment into practice, and the strike is just as effective as though no order had come from the court. Will the miners or the operators accept with out demur the award from the cabinet, which will unquestionably carry the president's ap proval? If it is npt accepted, what steps will the government take to relieve the fuel situ ation, which has become acute? Terms of the settlement are important, but do not mean so much to the public at this time as the attitude of the government. The sentiment of a considerable part of the miners is voiced by Frank Farrington, presi dent of the Illinois district, who said: "I am tired of waiting Dr. Garfield's pleasure, and running down here every fifteen minutes.", Mr. Farrington might with profit reflect that the public is also getting somewhat weary of his antics. Los Angeles and the Air Lanes. One unfailing asset on which the people of Los Angeles should pride themselves is their representative in congress. Mr. Randall may get his wires crossed on matters of internal policy, may muff certain of the great world questions, and may even deserve some criticism for his course in general, but when it gets down to matters that affect Baja California, he is there like a duck. Two years ago he started to' uproot the army balloon school and transfer it from Omaha to his home town, and he succeeded in getting considerable support from army offi cers. A training schoql was eventually estab lished at Arcadia, nearby the congressman's starting point, and that experiment was the best thing that could have happened for Omaha. Experience there soon justified the wisdom of maintaining the school where it was first estab lished and where it has flourished. Similarly. Congressman Randall is now eager to divert the air mail route, so that Kan sas City and Los Angeles will be the principal termini, instead of Omaha and San Francisco. He has missed again, but deserves credit for trying. It is not Omaha's fault that it offers superior .facilities to Kansas City, or that Los Angeles lies so far south of Tehachipi. In good time a branch service will fly from San Fran cisco over the mountains to deliver mail to the City of the Angels, just as Kansas City will get its relayed from Omaha. ' Yet we may commend the persistency of the Southern Californian in congress, who tries to get everything in sight for the home folks, while we congratulate Omaha on having a rep resentative who is on the job and can head off such raids as that engineered by the ambitious Randall. Felipe Angeles, Mexican Patriot. Standing with his back to a wall, Felipe An geles faced a firing squad, the greatest military leader and expert ever produced in Mexico, dying as a traitor to his country. This is be cause he espoused the cause of rebellion against the Carranza regime. He grew to manhood under the days of Porfirio Diaz, was educated at the national school at Chapultepec, and gave his life to military science. No other Mexican has equalled his accomplishments in his chosen field. When the Madero revolt made head way, Angeles fought on the side of the govern ment Diaz abdicated, and with him went the brilliant soldier, only to return as a rebel. It is not conceivable that he was a sharer in the banditry of Villa, although recognized as a lieutenant of that leader. More worthy impulse moved him, and while he was constrained to work with what tools came to his hand, he still looked forward to the liberation of his country from the hands into which H has fallen, and the re-establishment of a legitimate and stable government to control its development Fate has decreed otherwise, and AngeleS will be listed in Mexico officially gs a rebel and a traitor, but history deals more exactly with such things, and the outside world will very likely accord him the honor he deserves, that of a patriot leading a forlorn hope for his country's good. The Latest Jenkins Chapter From the Minneapolis Tribune. Once more the American State department has hurled a challenge at the Mexican govern ment this time in relation to the- treatment ac corded to William O. Jenkins, consular agent at Puebla, who was kidnaped by bandits and held" under severe hardship for a week as hos tage for the payment of a ransom of $150,000. After paying part of the money and being re leased, Jenkins was arrested on a charge of collusion with the kidnapers, was liberated later and then rearrested and detained in prison in Puebla on a charge that he had sought to in timidate witnesses upon the strength of whose testimony the first arrest was made. Manifestly a deliberate attempt is being made by the Mexican authorities to discredit Jenkins as a conspirator with rebels in an at tempt to stigmatize and belittle the Carranza government. The consular agent denies, with unction that he was a partner in any such en terprise and declares that he was mistreated not only by the kidnaping bandits, but by the authorities whose business it was to protect him. He tells a story that apparently is taken at its full face value by the State department. At any rate, a note has been dispatched to the Mexican foreign office demanding the immedi ate release of Jenkins, declaring a belief that the present arrest and detention are "absolutely arbitrary and unwarranted" and giving warn ing that, "further molestation of the consular agent will affect seriously the relations between the United States and Mexico for which the government of Mexico must assume sole re sponsibility." ' This warning is much like the one dis patched to Mexico City last July, following the murder of Peter Catron, an American citizen, in San Luis Potosi, and about a month before two American army aviators were seized and held for ransom by bapdits. Even with the demand for Jenkins immediate release adhered to, it might be said that in this country's gen eral relations with Mexico, so far as this latest note signifies, we are now just where we were then. It is interesting to conjecture what would have happened if Theodore Roosevelt had been president when Catron was slain or when the aviators were seized and held. We have a notion that under that circumstance there wouldn't have been any Jenkins affair to squabble over now. A few firm words from the snapping jaws of the straight-thinking, hard hitting Roosevelt would have had all the virtue needed to meet the occasion. A dispatch from Laredo, Tex., says . Fred erico Cordovo, a Mexican bandit, tenders "startling disclosures" regarding the Jenkins kidnaping, a condition being amnesty for the redoubtable Cordova. Appraisal of what he has to say will depend on the kind of proof or cor roboration he offers. The unsupported word of a bandit, who lives by violence and other lawless means, is not conspicuous for dependa bility. We would not put it beyond Cordova to say anything for a price; but if he prove his case to the satisfaction of unbiased American judgment, the sentiment of this country will sustain appropriate action, whatever the nature of the case. Let's wait and see what he says and how he says it fhe New Industrial Conference President Wilson's appointment of a new set of conferees to take up the work of the first industrial conference is commendable in purpose and much more promising than the first abortive effort to deal with the most press ing of domestic problems. The reduced size, as well as the nature of the appointments, is an. applied lesson from experience. If the new conference will follow the same course in ap plying the lessons of the first conference'in its organization and procedure the pitfalls that wrecked the former assembly may be avoided. It is hardly necessary to go into the details of the first conference's mistakes. They were elementary and fundamental. The conference attempted to make peace when there had been no victory or even an armisitce. As a result the industrial battle was continued on the floor of the conference and was in no way affected by the debate. The conference met without a plan and failed to evolve workable rules for its own deliberations. It lacked first hand data beyond thatjurriished by the chief disputants, and the public representatives were as far apart as workers and employers and lacked the strong support possessed by both of these cohesive groups. The new conference should set to work de liberately and lay solid foundations for its work. The distinguished appointees are all public representatives and men of ability and standing. When they have surveyed the field and evolved a plan it should be placed before the leaders of labor and representatives of em ployers, who should then be called upon to sub- t - . . . e i i , scriDe to terms or inausinai peace wnicn nave the substantial backing of the public and the government. Brooklyn Eagle. Prohibition and Thrift An increase in savings bank deoosits in the four months of July, August, September and October in Minneapolis, seven times as large as the increase during the same period in 1918. is attributed by bankers to the greater thrift attendant upon prohibition of the traffic in in toxicating liquors. The increase is $3,027,485. This showing was made despite the heavy ag- regaie investments maae in annxaDies just efore the federal and state prohibition acts became effective on July 1. If there had been no other benefit to this community than this saving of money, pro hibition would have justified itself as a wise and sound public policy. There have been, of course, many other good effects of four months of "dryness." . One of these effects is shown in records and conditions at the Minneapolis workhouse. This institution has been a depend- auie Daromcier tor years Ol me miscniei tnat flowed from the wide-open saloon. It is far from being now what it was. It cannot be said that there has been any stinting of themselves by those who patronize the savings institutions. Money has been spent liberally for necessities and luxuries in the last four months, and yet bank accounts have grown steadily. It surely would not serve any good purpose in this community to have a period of wetness before the national prohibition amend ment becomes effective on January 16 next. w: i: T" "i ' ' ivunneapuiis uuuiic.

The court is still in session. What would you advise me doing? Answer Employ an attorney and he will have no trouble In having the default and judgment set aside, as no doubt the term of court has not expired. Negligence. ., M. C. O. My husband was .killed by a railroad and there were no witnesses to the accident, but there were certain circumstances that would indicate that the railroad cqmpany was responsible for his death. Is it necessary that there should be eye-witnesses to the acci dent in order for me to recover? Answer When there is no evi dence as to the negligence on the part of the person injured or killed, the presumption of due care that arises 'from the instinct' of self preservation generally obtains, but it is necessary for you to prove that the railroad company was negligent and that its negligence was the prox imate cause of the death of your husband. All Around American Girl Wfll. E. J. Can an executor of a will appeal from the district court to the supreme court where the district court has denied the will to be pro bated? Answei- The executor under will is a proper party proponent and he may appeal to the supreme court. Will. S. h. T. My aunt recently died, leaving all of her property to my nephew. I have abundant proof to show that at the time she made the will she did not know what she was signing; that the will was drawn at the suggestion of my nephew and that my aunt never eaw it until it was offered for her to sign, and that she did not understand what she wai signing when she did so. Have I any remedy, and if so, what is it? Answer You can set the will aside because of improper or undue influence exerted upon your aunt and further that she did not have mental capacity at the time of sign ing the will. Guaranty O. R. Some time ago I wrote to an Omaha Jobbing house that if it would send goods to a certain local business man In our city that I would, upon the arrival of the goods, subject to inspection, remit payment I never received a reply from the Omaha jobber or had any notice of the shipment About nine months afterwards the Jobber wrote me that the bill had not been paidl Am I liable? Answer You are not as it was the duty of the Jobber to notify you and to have accepted your guaranty. 'Workmen's Compensation. B. K. Is the city of Omaha lia ble for the death of a fireman who was killed in performance of duty? In other words, does the workmen's compensation act apply to the city of Omaha?

All foot ball players should spend at least one hour a day throughout the winter months in the open air. Skating develops open field run ners. Hobey Baker of Princton, a great doger in foot ball, was a won derful ice hockey player. Steffens of Chicago developed his cleverness dodging among the crowded skaters in Chicago s parks. The best m door work to develop foot ball play ers is to play basket ball. All good ends can handle themselves cleverly on the basket ball court, as the for ward passing game calls for basket ball tactics and cleverness. In the spring get out in the coun try on a hike. Stocky legs with a drive are needed on the gridiron. This also develops a "will to go." During the summer months swim ming, although softening, is a good developer, as the muscles are stretched and the chest expanded and the arms and legs are worked in co-ordination. The running dive into the water in a fearless manner de velops tackling cleverness and nerve. Boxing, wrestling and rowing de velop strength in the back, shoul ders and arms. This is essential for linemen, as big, slow men will, in this way, acquire aggressiveness with determination. In spring foot ball practice work should only be done on fundamentals, as the au tumn season of two and a halt months is plenty long enough to de velop the fine points of the game.
