To the giver of all blessings
Let our voices raise In praise.
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.

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.

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.
