THANKSGIVING.
Today is Thanksgiving day and there are many things for which
t.ur nation should feel grateful.
No country on tlie globe is experiencing such prosperity among all
classes. .
(}od lias been good and merciful to us and blessed us for more than
■wc deserve, and every longue should confess its sincere gratitude and
every knee should bow today and humbly and reverently thank Him
who has so greatly blessed us as a people and as a nation.
Prosperity too often causes us to forget our God and makes us tail
to give credit to Him who made us and blesses us.
S< many of us are too infatuated with our own selfish egotism and
attribute what little success we have made in life entirely to our own
efforts.
We are ungrateful to our friends and benefactors, ungrateful to our
parents and those who love us, but our ingratitude is shown more to
llim to whom we owe most.
Jt is so easy to forget God when we are sailing over smooth seas,
■with no storm in sight and no dangerous waves to toss our boat and
miash it against the rocks of adversity and disappointment.
Let us all feel deep down in our consciences today the goodness
and the mercy of God and not pass it by in gormandizing and gratify
ing our animal inclinations altogether, but devote at least a portion of
the dav in thanking tlie Giver of all good lor what lie has done to
make our nation great and prosperous.
It is a sad commentary on our civilization to find men so heartless
and prejudiced they really rejoice in the illness of President Wilson.
O
Christmas w ill soon he here and to think that a good strong egg-nog
is beyond the reach of a weekly newspaper office is enough to make
a real prohibitionist like brother Shannon, of the C oinmerce News,
sigh for the good old times of the long ago.
The sweet potatoe crop in Georgia is the greatest on record. All that
is needed now is the \simmon beer to make us happy.
O
There are already three or four Republican candidates for President
O
The boll weevil may prove a blessing that will result in making eve
rything at home instead of depending on the West for things to eat.
—O
There is a time for all things, and now is the time to sow wheat.
O
The man who saves his money, made this year, will feel better ncxl
spring when be finds a need for some of it.
O /
(Jood horse sense helps one wonderfully in solving the problems of
life, and so few of us possess this important ingredient in sufficient
quantities to make it effective.
O
Editorial paragraphs are peddled by the score. Tint when you wiite
vour own, you have no room for more.
O
The man who gambles on cotton sometimes wins, hut most of the
time he loses, and in the end is poorer in this world’s goods than when
tie started.
NO TIME FOR DEMAGOGUES.
This is not an opportune time to light the national administration,
and especially is this true of men who claim and profess to be demo
' * )H
crats.
During this critical period through which we are now passing a
period of all periods when our country should be united so as to op
pose the enemies of good government, enemies who would destroy all
form of government and civilization, politics, prejudice aiul hatred
should be forgotten, and all true men standing loyally together for
the preservation of real Americanism and the.maintenance of those
ideals and institutions which have protected our liberties and made
us the greatest of all nations . *
One can have little respect and patience for the politician and
would —be—statesmen who trys to pick flaws in the league of nations,
solely to deceive and inflame the masses, solely for the purpose of gia
tifying their spleen and hatred for the President and for the purpose
of riding into office or retaining positions they already have.
WHAT THE SOLDIERS THINK ABOUT JT.
(The Savannah Morning News.)
When members of he Minnesota post of the American lock
a former congressman into a refrigerator car and send hmi out
town to prevent him from speaking against the League of Nation the
argument that the men from overseas are all opposed to the c
seems to fall flat. This is not the first tune overseas men have
made their approval of the league plan very plain. They are not de
ceived by the P argument that the league would send American boldi
m all over .ho world to fight tho battles of peoples lse * here ' ‘ h *
is a nlan to provide wars in future lor boys to fight who are now
at their mother’s breast. They have been to Europe; oug
battles on old scenes of struggles where men fought <* * '
and it is their desire that the world shall agree to *' ka
, almly in advance of rushing to arms. They know that no world lea
gue of nations brought on the great war and that the Uck of such a
league certainly did not prevent it. They take no stock in the idea
• that a plan which provides for the halting of any nation made mad
by ambition is certain to encourage that nation to go.to^war.
The senate will make a very grave mistake not only Pohtica y
so far as its present membership is concerned, but also onJh® world s
account if it emasculates the league of nations section of the peace
treatv What happens to individual senators is not of much linpc
but it important that the United States should not. prevent
the completion of the first feasible plan tor ta mg , t 0 f
advance of war, in the effort to prevent war. And
evidence that the returned American soldiers believe that league
should he established, that it offers at least the semblance of an effort
to prevent future wars, that it is a step in the dim 10n o . j ,
any nation, ambition crazed, from plunging the world nto uoi
struggle such as is just at an end. Tremendous responsibility rests up
on the United States senate. If any of its members are swayed by per
-i or partisanship, the nation will know it and p
’ 1 * - — rvnt to them.
