LET ALL VtEJOM'E
Let us give thanks—not (or those gifts alone
Of field and garden, tree and fruitful vine,
But for those gifts by which our Uvea have growu
More nearly like the Infinite design.
V f
Let us give thanks, from fervent hearts, for love:
Pure lov« toward God, unselfish love towarr. man;
Fur tenderness, compassion—gifts above
What hamuli thought could wish to have. or plan.
Let us give thanks for the great gift of prayer
By which we reach the consciousness of peace.
And realize the constant help and care
Of Love divine, that cannot lapse nor cease.
Let us give thanks for true and loyal friends.
For home, and family ties; for work, for play;
For beauty, and the grace that laughter lends
To toil or trial, on our dally way.
Let us give thanks that In this troubled hour.
With skies bedlmmed by doubt, by hare, by fear.
We can rejoice that Good alone has power,
Can prove It true, and thus win heaven here.
THANKSGIVING COMMON TO ALL HUMANITY
Thanksgiving day did not orlgluate in the I'nlted States, but days o
thanksgiving were set aside for special purposes many centuries ago. Day
»iet apart for special thanksgiving to the Lord were known to the Israelite
and are mentioned throughout the Bible. They were not uncommon i
England before the Reformation and among Protestants afterward.
The first thanksgiving I.eld In North America was conducted by ni
English mlnlBter named Wolfall, in 1578. on the shores of Newfoundland
The pastor accompanied the expedition under Frobisher, which brought th
first English colony to settle on those shores.
The earliest record of any observance of a similar service within th
present territory of the United States was held by the Pophain colony set
tied at Sagadahoc, on the coast of Maine, in August, 1607.
But the real origin of Thanksgiving as a day specially set apart fc
prayer and rejoicing must be attributed to Governor Bradford, first gov
ernor of Massachusetts colony. In gratitude for the plenteous harvest c
1621. following upon a period of great depression, he proclaimed a d.iy o
thanksgiving to b' observed December 13 (Old style) of that year.
In practical furtherance of his proclamation he at once sent out fou
wen in search of game. Thus early In the history of the day does ou
good friend the tnrkey make his appearance; for, successful In their v.iesi
the" four sportsmen returned, struggling under a burden of wild fowl, prin
cipally turkeys, sufficient to meet, the want of the colony for a week.
WHO ISN'T IN A BLOC?
If by radicalism is meant readiness to abandon a reasonable policy o
laissez-faire, to launch far-reaching programs of paternalism to push gov
eminent further and further into business and the like, it would be d^ffi
cult to distinguish very clearly between the radicals and many alleged con
servatives of others days. It commonly occurs that those who complain mop
bitterly about government interference in business are willing enough tha
fatherly government determine, by means of high and "flexible" tariffs, jus
what industries shall grow rich and wax fat—that Is if the right hranche:
are chosen for special favor.
Labor, urgent enough that corporations be publicly controlled, wil
have none of government interference with its monopolistic uniens. In
terests crying unto heaven against much of our paternalistic agrarian pro
gram would be well enough pleased if a ship subsidy law were enacted. Ou:
farn.ers. usually thoug-ht of as rather a "conservative" lot, are certainlj
not loth to accept aid from a behign government, or to urge radical "con
trol" of agencies of distribution—provided of course, that such agencies
are not composed of or operated by termers. Evidently it makes a greai
deal of difference whose ox is being gored.
Our chief danger arises not so much from radicalism as such, as frotr
group selfishness, short sighted and ignorant "blocism" and the like.—New
■Jork Journal of Commerce.
Moral Revival Is
World's Need
London. No*. 2S.—World codes
must be revived in conformity with
Ihe teachings of Christ, according
to Viscount Aator. it Christianity la,
not to become a failure.
The world Is disturbed by new
points of view regarding tb<* yo«iuon
of women, class distinction, ttii
movement against alco olism. the re
lutions of capital and labor, tin
brotherhood of man. Hosts of oiti
-tens are challenging these ae.v r.d
vaaces, the Viscount said.
America is now in the midst of i
great moral struggle that may tuflu
ence the trend of Christianity, th^
Viscount said. America gave up In
toxicants, but as with many a man
who has done likewise, the Ameri
can people are experiencing a moral
struggle as to whether or not they
are able to carry out their resolution.
The cause of Christianity must bo
affected one way or another by tbo
result of this struggle
France is a drawback to the pro
gression of Christianity, the VIs
1 count indicated.
"Fra-ice," he says, "seems often
very materialistic. Women's out
look, which is usually more moral
, and spiritual than man's, has had
little Influence on French national
policy.
"Parisian life exemplifies too close
ly, he says: 'Eat. drinl* and be mer
ry, for tomorrow we die.
"On the whole French opinion,
even In the provinces co'isidcra man
I to be a sensual animal, and oxpects
I the government to make unchastUy
as safe for him as possible."
Throughout the world. as In
* France, temperance and c astity are
I challenged, the Viscount said, but
Christianity has not failed.
"Whut the world needs now )s
fearless leadership and honest think
ing. Democracy and Christianity
have not fallen where nnd when they
have been properly tried. Christian
ity lias not failed. It cannot have
failed because it has not been really
tried, fully applied ind unders'tood.
"Democracy is no? wrong, • be
cause we are not yet able or will
ing to apply th ideas of the brother
hood of man.
"Thwe are indications of an awak
ening or resurrection from material
ism, selfishness, the awakening of
our common conscience on the traf
fic in women and children, on the
deception of alcohol, on slums and
war.
"All these are hopeful signs that
we are striving to rise out of men
tal satisfaction and out of mere self
fish physical enjoyment and are Indi
cations of vitality and progress.
Ketchikan Game Glub Approves
Alaska's Proposed NewGame Law
I The Alaska Game Protective asso
I ciation of Ketchikan, In a prepared
'.statement, Rives its approval to the
I proposed game law for Alaska. The
prepared statement is as follows:
After carefully considering its pro
visions. the Alaska Game Protecfive
Association of Ketchikan expressed
its approval of the Alaska game bill
now pending in congress.
The Sitka club Is reported to have
disapproved the bill but evidently
they were misinformed with regird
to It or failed to fu^ly study Its pro
visions for had they gone into the
matter carefully they would have
readily determined that the bill is
without doubt the most conprehen
sive and constructive piece of legis
lation ever introduced in any legis
lative body for the proper protection
and propagation of wild life.
Perhaps the bill does not give
Alaska absolute control of her game
and fur as we might wish but such
in neither necessary nor desirable In
the present state of development and
financial condition of the Territory.
The Territory finds it difficult to fi
nance the few administrative ex
penses to which It is now obligated
and there is even some talk of abol
ishing certain important territorial
* offices. Obviously, therefore. • the
s Territory cannot finance the protoc
, tlou of her game and fur as pro
vided in the above mentioned law
which would devolve upon her if she
' were to be given control of these Itn
II portant resources. It Is expected
that the federal government will find
It necessary to make appropriation
o[ $i3,vuu or »su,»uu 10 carry out
the provisions of the bill for the first
" year aud a like sum. If not a larger
one, annually thereafter. It is need
r less to say that the financial condi
tion of the Territory absolutely pro
hibits the appropriation of any such
sum for this purpose either now or
" in the very near future.
The bill provides for the consoli
r dation of the protective and admin
istrative work under the biological
j survey. This organizatiou is the
only branch of the I'nited States gov
ernment experienced in such matters.
Its employes are making lifetime
studies of their respective lines and
are authorities on their subjects. The
bill provides that 'he personnel of
the commission which will direct the
work will be Alaskans, but in the
case of special assistance being need
ed the services of any of the blologi
' ral survey specialists would be avail-j
■ able, just as they have already been
of assistance in building up the fur
, farming and reindeer raising in the
Territory.
The commission, as provided in the
: bill, will oe made up of Alaskans and
i will be a strictly non-political body.
It is quite obvious that any com
mission wholly subject to appoint
ment or dismissal through any office
which in itself is filled by political
appointment will be unable to carry
I on any definite policy. Federal
money to defray all expenses and a
resident non-political game commis
sion 'o direct the work more nearly
approaches the ideal.
The proposed bill is a long step
towards local control. It provides
that the commission shall apply the
regulations within seasonable limits
as they may detemine by climatic
and geographic conditions. The i >n
mission will oe nu de up of ropre
■ sentative citizens of the different
districts with due respect to wishes
of the residents of those districts
and of course they vill only estab
lish seasons, license foes and appoint
assistants after giving due consid
eration to the wishes of the resi
dents of the regions affected.
The residents of Ketchikan were
pioneers in the matter of game con
servation in organizing the 8r«t
Game Protective association in Alas
ka. Their demands for corrective
legislation with relation to game
and fur bearing animals ure prac
ticully all met In the pending bill.
They have therefore acted oonsiFt
ently in endorsing It. Other clubs
and associations organized jubse
quently and upon the same principle
can do likewise.
House Bill No. 12143 does not rep
resent the wishes of ar.y one district
organization, or Individual but gives
the opportunity to put Into effect
regulations best suited for the whole
Territory. It appears to be a tr.uly
Alaska Game Bill.—K e t c h ik a n
Chronicle.
PLAN'S FOR REORGANIZING
OF GOVERNMENT BUREAUS
WILLED TO NEW CONGRESS
Washington. Nov. 28.—Senator
Reed Smoot of Utah, after a second
conference today with President
Harding, predicted postponement un
till the session of the Sixty-eighth
congress of the governmental reor
ganization plan.
The President plans to submit to
congress soon after it convenes in
special session a draft of the reor
ganization plan as worked out by
the committee, but the Utah senator
expressed the belief that It will not
be acted on during the life of the
Sixty-seventh congress.
Senator Smoot said he expected
the large amount of other pressing
legislation would force the reorgan
ization bill over until after the new
congress is inaugurated March 4
next.
