In Myrtle Point.
Thursday, November 26th.
The President has issued the an
nual Thanksgiving proclamation,
setting apart Thursday, November
26, as “ a day of thanksgiving and
prayer. ”
“ Year by year,” declares the pro
clamation, “ this Nation grows in
strength and worldly power. Dur
ing the century and a quarter that
has elapsed since our entry into the
circle of independent people we
have grown and prospered in ma
terial things tc a degree never
known before and not now known
in any other country. The 13 col
onies which straggled along the
seacoast of the Atlantic and were
hemmed in but a few miles west of
tidewater by the Indian-haunted
wilderness have been transformed
into the mightiest P.epublic which
the world has ever seen. Its do
mains stretch across the continent
from one to the other of the great
est oceans and it exercises dominion
alike in the Artie and the tropic
realms. The growth in wealth and
population has surpassed even the
growth in territory. Nowhere else
in the world is the average of indi
vidual comfort and material well
being as high as in our fortunate
land.
“ B’or the very reason that in ma
terial wellbeing we have thus a-
bounded, we owe to the Almighty to
show equal progress in moral and
spritual things. With a Nation, as
with the individuals who make up a
nation, material wellbeing is an in
dispensable foundation. But the
foundation avails nothing by itself.
That life is wasted and worse than
wasted which is spent in piling heap
on heap, those things which mini
ster merely to the pleasure of the
body and to the power that rests
only on wealth.
“ Upon material wellbeing as a
foundation must be raised the struc
ture of the lofty life of the spirit, if
this nation is properly to fulfill its
great mission all we so ardently
hope and desire. T h etb iD g s of the
body are good; the things of the
mind are better, but best of all the
things of the soul, for in the Nation,
as in the individual, in the long run
it is character that counts.
“ Let us. therefore, as a people,
set our faces resolutely against evil
and with broad charity, with friend
liness and good-will toward all men,
hut with unflinching determination
to smite down wrong, strive with
all the strength that is given us for
righteousness in public and in priv
ate life.”

facts stated in the biennial roport of
State Treasurer Steel, issued last
week.
There is in the treasury a
cash balance of $G58.320.15, of
which $214,887.98 is in the general
fund an amount sufficient to pay
state expenses until next March
when the taxes for 1909 will be paid.
The report shows that two years ago
the balance in the general fund,
applicable to payment of current ex
penses of the state government and
maintenance of state institutions was
$212,512.03; there was received dur
ing the two years $2,592,893.40 and
disbursed $ 2,560,507.45, leaving the
present cash balance in that fund
$214,897.98.
State Treasurer Steel makes a num
ber of recommendations to theLegis-
lature among them these: That the
inheritance tax be made applicable
to the excess of $2000 on all collater
al inheritances and on bequests and
devices exceeding $500 to persons
not related to the donor that the d e
pository law be made applicable to
the school that counties be required
to pay the maintenance charge for
care of insane. In the first instance
the counties collecting from the per
sons ordered to pay the charge: that
such special funds as the pure food
fund, the veterinary fund, the board
of examiners’ fund, etc be turned in
to the general fund and all the
claims now paid out of these funds
be paid out of the general fund; that
provision be made for inspection of
weights and measures so that the
law regarding the same may be en
forced.
Now that the regular election are
out of the way, railroad men are or
ganizing for a vigorous campaign
to force an advance of freight rates.
Their argument is that, unless this
be done, wages will have to be re
duced. It is said they stand ready
to discharge thousand of employes
to make a bad situation worse if the
public refuses to countenance their
extravagant demand for higher
rates Responsible railroad mana
gers are acting like a lot of cry
babies. They are pretending that
they have been abused more than
any other class of business men,
when everybody knows perfectly
well that their c'aim is absurd.
Railroads are not doing so much
business as in the past, but that is
not for the reason that they have
been abused, but because there has
been a panic, and it might also be
said that it cannot cause one. either,
for panics are a natural develop
ment of growth. They are to the
business world what growing pains
are to children. The panic which
has caused all the suffering will be
over in a year, and business is al
ready on the move. The really im
portant railrond roeD know this per
fectly well, but under cover of a
pretended belief that something
must be done to save the railroads,
they are attempting to fasten on the
public a schedule of rates that will
justify the enormous prices to which
railroad securities have been mani
pulated.— Ex.

that those on the outside who are
familiar with conditions and pros

its future and if present indications
