For the joys and countless mercies He halh Bent to crown oar days; For the homes of peace and plenty, And a land so fair and wide, For the labor of the noon-day And for rest at eventide. For the splendor of the forest, For the beauty of the hills, For the freshness of the meadows, And a- thousand sparkling rills; For the blossoms of the springtime And the memories they bring; For the ripened fruits of autumn. Do we thank Thee, O our King. ' For the wealth of golden harvests, For the sunlight and the rain, For the grandeur of the oceun, For the mountain and the plain; Fo rthe ever-changing seasons, And the comforts which they bring; Fcr Thy love, so grand, eternal, We would thank Thee, 0 our King. Wm. G. Park. ' . ' ' . . .- THANKSGIVING DAY ' There are few people who have nothing to be thankful for on this day of national acku&wledgment of the beneficence of an all-wise and generous Supreme Ruler. Most of us have health, and all have a life to live that may be consecrated to good deeds and honest effort, which are sure to be rewarded with the great est blessings humanity may hope for. , The natiou at large may be thankful that self-government is on a secure footing; 11at presidential campaigns and financial ; panics havo left little trace upon ilie body politic As a nation the United States is stronger ia its wo ld influence for good government and freedom of tfcovght and action than ever before and its ideals of civilization are influencing more peoples from year to year. Eugene may be thankful that its growth and progress during the year past has been unprecedented; that the big, straggling country town of twelve months ago is on this Thanksgiving day a progressive, modern little city that is the pride of its citizens and the wonder of its neighbors ; that the outlook for the year to come was never brighter on any Thanksgiving day. The robber express companies have gotten the idea in their heads that the people are not contributing enough to their cof fers and therefore have announced that on the first of the year they will raise their rates for carrying. Wells, Fargo & Com pany are leaders in the movement and it is expeoted that the other companies will follow in their footsteps. The matter of the raise is being investigated by the members of the Inter-State Commerce Commission and it is to be hoped that the intelligent gt.rtlemen comprising ihat b'ody will frown upon this, attempt to fill h more money from the public.

', "THMIS IS MY 50TH BIRTHDAY." Thomas L. Hisgen. Thomas L. Hisgen, the candidate for President on the Independence Party ticket in the recent election, was born In Petersburg, Ind., Nov. 26, 1858. At the age of 16 he went to Albany, New York, the former home of his parents, and became a clerk In a clothing store. In later years Mr. Hisgen, having accumulated some capital, engaged in the oil busi ness at Springfield, Mass., where he came into prominence because of the bitter fight he waged against the Standard Oil Company. In 1907 he was the Independence Jaeague candi date for Governor of Massachusetts and polled the second largest vote of any of the gubernatorial candidates. KNOCK THE KNOCKER.

SIMON KLOVDAHL. The latest report of the commissioners in lunacy for Eng land and Wales shows a decline in the insanity rate, From this showing the publication known as "American Medicine" deems it "safe to predict that time within a decade or two when there will be no relative increase in the asylum population, and the admissions will overbalance the cures and deaths .by. a small amount proportional to the increase in population." This pre diction is intended to be general to Europe and America, the in sanity increase being a manifestation common to all countries. The beginning of a decreased rate may be taken as confirmatory of the veiw previously advanced by hopeful experts that insan ity's gain hs been mce apparent than real. The ease with whloh $51,250 has been raised for a Y. M. 0, A. building in Eugene speaks volumes for the progressive spirit of our citizens. Everywhere in the Northwest people are talking of "the Eugene way," and wondering how we do it, and aside from the advertisement it gives the city, a Y. M. '0. A .is one of the best institutions we can secure. It will make for the better ment of the community in all respects and be of incalculable ben efit to the young men and boys, surrounding them with the in fluences and associations that make for a good and useful citi The Sacramento Uniou thinks John D. Rockefeller should be on the Orpheum circuit in the role of a great humorist. His joke regarding the Standard 01 being a hazardous undertaking is re garded as being simply ffde-splitting. There are men going about the country doin.sr a funny stunt who cannot hold a candle to fie he:'d of the giaru octopus. ' o Here's another .Oan on the straight road to furtune. He says he is going to establish Q grammar exclusively for girls, containing only adjectives.
