TOMORROW Is peculiarly Ameri ca's dny. Originating In tho piirliiim times of the country's earliest settlement, when our fore fathers, realizing tho over-present danger from tho wild and bii vh k- In dians, whoso lauds they were "appro priating," and whoso country they bad Jumped, how lliuiilifii! lliey Khoiilil ho that they worn alive, set one day apart for returning I hunks lo a merciful creator and tho Inventor of gun powder that, this was possible, It doesn't look, at this remote period, us though they hud a great deal to ho tluinkful for, other than as above Hinted; but. then our forefal hers were not educated up to the fllanibirils of fhoso elect l ie ami gasoline days., And yet a comparison of thHr con- u THANKStilVINU WAV. pleasant things that have c.omo our way, wo also make moro pleasant and better In Ills sight, by removing boiiio of tho worry and sorrow from tho life of our less fortunuto brother. A day when with free hand and guile less heart, wo can sharo In. a small way of our redundant surplus, some thing with those In need. A day when to tho widow's heart we may bring sunshine and Joy, and to her eyes tears of gladness, by providing from our abundant cheer, for the help less ones dependent on. her. A day, when business selfishness forgot I en, we may remember that wo owe something to humanity, to our race, to our people, to our towns men, our frieuilH, our neighbors and our family. Owe something? Yes, to them we owe all for without them death In any form would be woNvime, dlllon with our own shows some Ho here Is to our country's great day, strong polntH of sluillarlly, though In j Humanity's day, and may you each the present day we, tho common pun- and all realize that full measure of pie, stand rather In Hie poHlllon of happiness which comes only to him the Indians than that of our scrappy who with cheerful heart, and generous obi forheai'R, who carried their rifles , hands makes others happy. on their plow handles, as they broke the stubborn sod, and wore the saine gnus, topped out for Sunday with a pair of bell .mouthed horse pIhIoIh, lo church Sundays. They had come over to this country, and were given a hospitable wclivime bv the uiiHophlsl I cited unlive born Americans. They Immediately begun to locale the lands lying around un used, anil to drive their red brethren from the place tliey bail been accus tomed to roam over. Naturally there was a considerable difference of opin ion as to the propriety of tills course, and the rod man proceeded lo lift Hie foivlops of the while brethren, a. id all thai was bin, whenever the occasion offered. The while brother, who bail fled to this country lo get a larger dose of freedom than was bunded lo him nt home, resented this Utile nie lnenlo gathering trail, of Ihe Savage, and on Ihe occasion of tho bitter's visits to, or near, the white settle ments, welcomed llieni with bloody IiiiiiiIh to hospitable graves. All this Is changed, ami the Indi ans, or such as are left, can Hew see tm "hoist, with our own petard," and gelling about the same kind of i II- clne we proscribed for them three hundred years ago. Wo have exploited the Indians' lands of the whole continent, nnd such as are left are now college stu dents and land owners muter Ihe cluiiT.o of obi I'ncle Samuel himself.

John M., Hetty ilieen, the railroads, Stool Trust, Harvester TriMq and Ihe thousands of olher corp iral Ions, without bodies, to be klekiil or souls lo be condemned, are following In the footsteps of our brave oici aneesiort, ami Healing mi as thov ilid (he Indians. They are ap propriating i 1 1 1 1 grasping the things thai w ere (ho po iplo's. and they are pushing us steadily away from the things ihcv want, just as our ances tors crowded ihe Indians out. They are growing, too, anil more coining over all Ihe time. In spile of the ter rific havoc ihe late T.

Hut what's the use looking a gift horse In the mouth or Inquiring too closely Into tin matter for tho Register's story Is but a little pleasantry, and It Is probable Salem will remain tho capital of our great statu long after the present gen eration of newspiiior men Is dead, If you have things to give thanks for puss It along by soma little uld to morrow to those whose llncg have not fallen In pleasant places. Truly "It Is more pleasant U give than to receive," and nono In Salem should be left with unpleasant memories of tho day, when one can get so much pleas ure from lightening their burdens, and making the dny one of real thanksgiving for them. Seattle claims to havo been Jarred by an carthiiako. Seattle may have had it slight enrth(iiake, but the horse editor stutters when It comes to be lieving that oven an earthquake could Jar her.

NUKIl the above caption the 10 u gone Register recently has the following: The Register's "fourteenth as sistant day devil," who was limit ed Sunday morning, In, of course, only a hoax, hut Is there anything Illogical In the statement, thai the Male capital ought to bo moved to Kugonc? Us present location Is woefully III chosen. It Is off In a corner of Hie stale, and II Is dif licull. of access lo Ihe greater part of Oregon. Kugcno, on Ihe contrary, Is re markably well located. It Is prac tically Hie center of the stale, so far us population Is concerned, and whi n Ihe railroad linos that an now hi ig are completed. II v 111 bo In direct and easy touch Willi every county. Kastern Ore gon, southern Oregon iijul tho coast counlies would be saved long nnd circuitous travel. In Skinner llutle park, Kugcno has the most beautiful and sight ly local Ion for a capllol building III Ihe I lilted Stales. At very slight expense, this site could be made one of the world's wonders. Us uuhpio beauty would scatter the name of Oregon's capital far and wide. This park, located In the heart of tho city and compris ing lie acres. Is owned by the city, and would be gladly donated to Ihe ft, ite. Kiigene Is a dandy city all right and destined to be a groat railroad center, and tho Register Is usually pretty sol Id 111 lis reasonings and correct III Its fuels. It Is a model paper, loo, one of I lie best printed in a city of Its size on the coast, anil therefore, anywhere, i-'iigeno would make an cxcollei.t capi tal city, too, but It doesn't need tho inpltal city In Its business to I'ulllll Its great destiny, and on top of all, It Is i. no now ui uiscuss i no matter, lor Ihe capital Is pretty well located as It Is. in one of Ihe host and most pros perous oliles In (he slate, too.

It Is easier to preserve tho color of the hair than to restore It, although it la possible to do both. Our grand mothers understood the secret They mndo a "sage tea," and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate the w 'sdom of our grandmothers in using "sago tea" for their hair and are fast following suit. Tho present generation has the ad vantage of the past in tltnt it can get a ready-to-use preparation called Wy cth'8 Sago and Sulphur Ilnlr Remedy. As a scalp tonic and color restorer this preparation is vastly Rupcrlor to the ordinary "sage tea" made by our grandmothers. Tho growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the scalp, Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs which rob the hair of lis life, color anil lustre, makes tho scalp clean and healthy, gives the hair strength, color and beauty, and makes it grow.
