HUUSGUIPTIONS, .... Ono Year f 1.G0
1114 THANKI'd, HIT VK1ILANT.
On this TlinnkHglvltiR Day Ameri
cans liavo ronson to bo thankful Hut
whllu IioIiik thankful for tlio bouti
tloM that have been our monsuro for
tlio pant yoor wo liavo reason to be
warned that conditions oh thoy now
oxlit will nut loan eniluro unless tlio
people bocomo uwako to anemic of
our government now actlvo In their
work of destruction
Tlio first Thanksgiving dny was
ono of blessing and thankfulness to
tlio Almighty for his dcllvoranco of
that noblo band who brnvod tho rob
In their search for a land whoroln
limy might worship Cod as thQlr
coiikoIoiico dictated.
Iloro limy founded a government
of tho people; by tho people; for the
people.
Thin government won not formed
until after a grent war hod been
fought to separate this nation from
tho molhor country of thoso sotllors.
Tin enreer wan not niwurcil until n
war of robolllon wan foiiRht, and mil
llon of men "dedicated their liven
Hint thin nation might live"
In the hours of ndvorslly there
was no mot or destroy iiik mo lorm
of gcnornmmit OiirlnK tho yenrs of
stniRRlo In which thin land wob
transformod from n wilderness to a
mIrouIIc ststn spnned from coast to
const with mighty railroads, covered
with millions of fortllo farms and
ovnrywhoro supplied with schools
and universities, thero wns no Hint
of lonrliiR this government ntminder
Hut now In the hour of tho no
tion's Rrofltnoss tho followers of n
philosophy of laziness and of wolfish
no, would tour down that which
others have wrought to build. Tho
parlor Holslmvlst. Iho Socialist Is nn
mowed nneinv of Iho nation If on
this Tlinnksglvliig day wo nro thank
fill for ponco and wfety II Is well to
romomlior Hint wo have thoso things
In bo thankful for. In splto or thoso
elements In our population.
Had thoso obstructors bnd their
way tlio world war would not yel
hnvo ended. Thoy did everything In
their power to paralyse- tho Rovorn
mont nt every turn Thoy foiiRht
ngnlnsl tho operation of ono of tho
most Just laws n domocrncy ovor
framed, tho conscription net. Thoy
wero tho ready tools of tho Prussian
autocrats, they aided In tho nhstriic
live strlkos, thoy assisted In the
bombing of ammunition plants, thoy
murdered our cllUens In times of
war and liavo not stopped their das
tardly crimes with tho advent of
poaco.
Blnco wo hnvo reason to bo thank
ful for wondorous blessings In splto
of thc-so enemies lot us remember
Hint thoro am other Thanksgiving
dny coming Hint to bo obsorvod In
Iho land of tho froo rails for tho de
votion of every trim Amorlcau to our
government ns It stand today tho
greatest, tho best, tho most benign
government innn has yet devised To
11(0 undor such n government Is roa
son enough to bo thankful today,
outHldo tho low, of accomplishing
Hint result.
Tho murder committed by tho ex
convict Johnson and tho recent
doublo murder In Portland show that
Oregon Is tho habitation of many ox
convicts who knowing that they will
not bo called upon to face tho hang
man In this Bttito ply their trade
with Impunity. So long as tho pres
ent laws exist no man's Ufa Is safe,
or woman's cither.
Tho only plea for tho retention of
tho present law Is tho danger, and It
Is but a slight one, Hint soino Inno
cont man might bo hung' thru cir
cumstantial ovldcnro. In this day
and ago with all tho rosourcoa and
openings loft In tho criminal codo
and tho rules of court procduro thoro
I llttlo likelihood of tin Innocent
man going to tho gallows, ltrthor It
Is tho rule Hint hundreds of vllllans
oscnpo punishment for ono Innocent
innn who Is unjustly sentenced,
Thoro Is no doubt concerning tho
temper of tho people of Oregon. They
wnnt capita' punishment restored,
and It will bo rostorcd Efforts' are
alrendy under way to hnvo petitions
circulated and they should bo signed
by ovoryono who bollovoa In substan
tial Justtco for men who hold Ufa so
cheap that tiiey would slay In ordor
to rob or for other motives.
DECIDE NOW.
Now Is tho tlnio to dccldo how On
tario lawns nro to bo watered next
season, Homctning must no tiono
now If tho problom Is to bo solved be
fore tho water Is needed.
Ever slnco Inst summor when tho
prosont system wns Installed thoro
has been tnlk of finding niiothor way
to wntor tho In wns but so fnr noth
ing but talk hns resulted, It Is
tlmoly iind nntural that tho subject
should )o thoroly discussed beforo a
doflnlKi program Is proposed but
thoro hi no uso In waiting until
spring fnd then having to do all tho
tarlo would do moro to Improve
tho city than anything that can bo
Imnglnod. With tho trees, of courso,
would go muny now lawns. What a
chnngo such Improvement would
mnko In Ontario. And this can nil
bo dono without n great denl of work
or oxpensc.
INSTALL the mouth.
If It bo posslblo to do so Ontario
ought to go nil tho way In "dolling
up" and Install tho stroot lighting
system contemplated when tho park
way cablo was ordorcd.
Ono business man who owns sev
eral lotu on Oregon street, has de
clared his willingness to pay for tho
polos needed In front of tho lots ho Is
Intorestcd In. Others no doubt nro
equally willing to do this.
On top of tho paving this would
bo n big boost for tho city.

An Important Message to You
YOUNG MEN, YOUNG WOMEN, notwith
standing our enrollment within tho last four years
has doubled and our attendance is larger now' than
ever before at this time of year, wo have not been
able to prepare bookkeepers and stenographers fast
enough to fill a third of the positions we have been
asked to fill since January 1, 101(5. Notwithstand
ing the. opportunities for young men and women who
have a knowledge of bookkeeping, shorthand, and
typewriting are greator than ever before; the need
more urgent than ovor beforo, the salaries greater
than ever known to bo paid beforo to young men and
women without experience; we liavo not been abh to
induce enough young people to enter our school to
enable us to fill one-fourth of tho positions we have
been asked to fill, though wo liavo used every means
at our command to lead you to seo the value of a '
course in our school would be to you and the oppor-
iiuuui-K iwr iniMiR'jss success ii woum oriiig to von.
OUR GRADUATES ARE IN DEMAND
Wo sent three students to positions a week ago
on trial. Their work was so satisfactory that each
of thorn was retained at tho splendid salary of $90
a month. Wo placed every studont who was readv
for a position, AND TJTE CALLS AftE STTLb

THE FOLLOAVTNG ATJE A FEW OF THE RE
CENT CALLS: A long distaneo telephone call from
Mackoy asking for a stenographer at $125 a month;

three from Caldwell; and several from Boise.
BUSINESS FIRMS LEAVE ORDERS FOR
GRADUATES IN ADVANCE
A gentleman employed four of our students six
months ago. Their training was so thorough and
thoir work so satisfactory that ho called at our office
Saturday and asked us to furnish his firm six more
to begin January 1st at salaries of $87 the first
month, $112.50 at tho beginning of tho second
month, and $lfl5 as soon as thoy aro worth it. An
other large concern asks that we notify them when
our graduates aro ready, as thoy would need some of
them.
