THANKSGIVING,
In every state in the Union, iu j
ev ry eity, and town, and little
), 11 lot, the day is observed n< - -
< ding to our ancient custom.
J takes its rank in the year’s
,• i ndar even as Sunday does;
during each week—it is the op-!
jiortunity for prayer. There are
few sorrows manifested to-day, j
and tlioae which do present tliern
g vi*s are the unavoidable. The
r< ol lections of what has benefited
h d the momentary forgetfulness
of what has harmed are upper- j
in st. Man has no place today!
mi his heart for discontent unless:
ii ■« so unfortunately rooted that
jio past joy can over-shadow it. j
>s in'- people are pursued by mis
-1 lime and disaster, but the vast:
n njority of human kind will show |
a oioyunt nature and be at good)
will with the rest of the world.
\\need soiim especial day such
a- this to remind us of the past.
If joys ure fleeting we must not j
forget them: it disappointments!
ore so burdensome we must try to
erase their memory. If we have j
been without those experiences!
which make our natures strong!
and charitably inclined we may
profit by these experiences in
others. Today is not the one set
apart for the selfish nor for the
personally indulgent. Into it are
crowded comradeship, benevo
h ice, chant y, and those higher
qualities of men which reveal
their substantial characters
We put aside the sober routine |
of labor and take on the happier |
garb of the holiday. We have a I
g ol hand for our neighbor and a
v liolesotne sentiment in our
l eart. Our mind does not linger
i i the hitter nor is our soul
i 1 •spondeiit. Wo irre in that
b ssed state which humanity
terms .neighborly in its truest
souse w itlioul-trills and witli ut
s iicasiii. Thanksgiving Day is a
i iteriul event hi our individual
v«-H and m the life of the nation
. ..II men, irrespective of creed or
) i-linatioii, may j>m in its cele
bration, and no one may be denied !
th - privilege, so some, each day
is one of thanksgiving. It is the
privilege of but few, but the aver- I
eg - citizen gots enough content j
out. of the one day to keep him
|. >ve t lie l ut.
Kaeli individual follows that |
jiirticular path of pleasure which
appeals the strongest. Pleasure
is dominant upon a legitimate
s ale, and w hile the brain is sat in
ti • I the l»od\ often becomes ex
hausted. During all the period'
of pleasure no one can escape the
thought that thanksgiving is at
ha id. Other years will come in i
tli ■ natural sequence and some of j
us will be nearer the goal; others j
just seeing the light of day. All
the world will be better and the
I
sympathy of one for the (
oilier will be increased. Todav
w note those virtues which we'
1 ve cultivated and the fault
winch we may have conquered, j
w le an era "f plenty awaits tin-
g sping and the light grows (
b filter on each occasion when |
a uirjoys are crowded into a |
da v of thanksgiving such as is at |
hand. —Savannah Press.

! MACON WANTS THE
CAPITOL BUILDING.
Macon, Nov. 22. At a mass
meeting of Macon citizens held
tonight a movement was inaug
urated to move the state capitol j
from Atlanta to Macon and Rep- (
resentatives Joe Hill Hall, Walter;
Deforc and Minter Wimberly of
Bibb county, who were present,
pledg-d themselves to introduce a
bill amending the constitution of
the state s > as to provide for the
change and the erection of a new
capitol building in Macon.
A suitable land site was pledg
ed to the ethte free of charge. The
resolution was unansmousl v adopt.-
led by the meeting after several
I ringing speeches.
The resolutions r<*cited the pres
ent inadequacy of the building in
Atlanta unit the hardship worked
on people to get to and from At
lanta and pointed out the advant
ages of Macon being iu the exact]
center of the state.
The Bibb legislators think that
the fiill can be passed by the gen
eral assembly.
FIRST DUTY OF DEMOCRATS
IS REDUCTION OF TARIFF.
New York, Nov. 25 —“A lower
tar.lT is the first duty of the dem--
ocratic party as the result of the
vote of confidence which the peo
ple of the country have given it,”
says Judge Simeon E. Baldwin,
democrat i<- governor-elect of Con
ne -'icut, in a long interview on
th political outlook, published
her today. Judge Baldwin's nb
■erv it ions on the political situs
ati •" include the following:
“The democratic party must
not be a standstill party. It.
must go back to pre-Bryauite pro- I
gressiveness. For instance, no
one would pretend that Mr. Tilden
was a stand-patter. Our central
idea must, he the reduction of the
tariff', which means, in the old
phrase, a lowering of the taxes
The result will be to lower prices.
“ The best way to retain success
w to hold to a reasonable middle
j course. The real position for
every party to take is a middle
p isition, and that is the position
tin- democrats should take. No
i party can be really great and en
during unless there is room with
it. for men of quite different views
:on minor points. The democratic
parly ought always to have a con
servative wing, a progressive ami
a moderate center. I belong to
the center.
“1 think that the powers ot
the interstate commerce commis
sion have probably been enlarged
too far.
•'What makes this country
and keeps it is free trade between
all the states and territories from
ocean to ocea i, with absolute lo
cal self-government iu euch of the
asperate stales, interfered with
bv congress only when necessary -
for a few national purposes.
• l\> retail the position in which
the democratic party finds itself
today it must continue to 1>« the
party of the constitution. The
beauty of our federal constitution ;
lies in its simplicity, its use of I
general terms, and its avoidance:
of detail. The men who framed j
it were really great in their knowl- j
edge of world politics.
" she courts of the present day
are full able to interpret the laws
to met the needs of the tune.}
There is a virility and freshness
on the part of the American jud-|
iciary which is quite adequate to .
such an interpretation of the con- J
at itut ion as will make it secure
the needs of the day.”

AUBURN GOING AFTER
OTHER VICTIMS.
Auburn, Ala., Nov. 24.—Au
burn will not let another football
: season pass without a scheduled
game with Vanderbilt. Auburn
men are taking all rent at a news
paper story which has been pub
lished under a Nashville date line
which the Vanderbilt correspor
j dent speaks rather contemptuous
ly of the Orange and Blue prowess
and Auburc’schampinship aspira
tions. The story declares that
j Vanderbilt will be glad to meet
( Auburn next season.
! Already, nearly two weeks ago,
Manager Bragg, of Auburn, had
made initial overtures to Vander
bilt’s manager for a game on No
vember 5 or November 12, 1911
The letter of Manager Bragg to
Manager Trabue was dispatched
to November 5, and is :
”1 am now arranging our foot
ball scuedule for next fall, anil 1
hope that we can be able to ar
range a game with Vanderbilt Un
iversity. W’e shall be glad to
meet your team in Birmingham
on November 12. Birmingham is
a great football town and I uni
sure that we will make big money.
We will play there under a split
even contract, or else give you a
cash guarantee.
The reply of Manager Trabue,
received here November 7, declares
that the matter will he brought
to the games committee of the
university.
“I shall be glad to bring your
proposition to the attention of
our committee. 1 am sure we
would like to arrange a game with
Auburn next year if it is practic
able to do so.”
Manager Trebuo suggests that
Nashville be selected as the site,
as Vanderbilt does not desire, he
said, to disappoint the strong
local following iu that city, which
was deprived of a big game this
year.
