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. ▲AA▲AA.AAAA A A A A A A i"A THE BARROW TIMES, WINDER, GEORGIA. BETHLEHEM.
