TP EVER tlio United States had eause to lie thankful
- it is this Thanksgiving day. A great world war, in
which America played a conspicuous part, has been, suc
cessfully waged and won, with a minimum of loses to the
nation and a iiiixiiinnn of benefit to the world.
Let us be thankful that the United States has been
of great Service to humanity in the defeat of military
autocracy and the triumph of democracy, that we as a
nation, have uphold those principles for the right of man
kind to enjoy life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness
fought for by the founders of the republic.
Let ns be thankful that in the great crisis confronting
the country, tho nation, in spite of its diversity of races
and of peoples and of creeds piwod its unity, eo-opcrating
in all essentials in a common purpose, presenting a people
united in a common cause, inspired by the loftiest ideals
for the regeneration of mankind.
Let us Ijo thankful that wo have been enabled by our
imineasuroablc resources and bountiful harvests and by
patriotic self-denial- to render needed assistance to our
allies, to feed half of Europe, in its hour of need, to sustain
the flagging spirits of war worn peoples, to care for the
destitute of devastated regions and to assist the oppressed
peoples of territories occupied by the enemy.
Lot us be thankful that our army and navy have
proved their efficiency, their stamnia and pcrservereuce,
their valor in battle and their humanity and chivalry in
victory, that the nation "arrived" at tlie crisis in the af
fairs of the world and helped turn the tide of defeat into
the triumph of victory.
Let us be thankful that in the national emergency our
government measured up to i':s responsibilities, as he
people- measured up to theirs, thus vindicating the theory
of democracy, proving it efficient not only in peace but
in war. '
Let . us be thankful that to Providence which
watches over the affairs of the republic, lhat reared a
Washington to lead the armies of the revolution and a
Lincoln those of the civil war, has given us a president
whose course has brought him recognition as the foremost
citizen of the world, idolized among the oj (pressed peo
ples who have gained their liberties, chosen spokesman
of the allied nations we have fought with, and appealed to
as a friend by the enemy peoples.
Let us be thankful that America has become a world
power in the best sense of the word a power for right
eousness and just ice; that we have emerged from the war
with clean hands and the respect and love of the world;
that f roni (lie Laltic to I'agdad hopes for the future are
pinned upon the disinterestedness, sincerity and magna
nimity of the tinted States; that the French, Pritish, Pel
gians and Italians regard us with the affection of broth
ers, and that Old ( ilory is saluted around the world as the
emblem of freedom and the champion of the disinherited.
Above all let us be thankful that the war is over ami
that those who responded to the call to the colors, who
offered their all to protect those of us at home from the
menace of military might and threat of fright fulness are
coming home. Lot us drop a fragrant flower of remem
brance for those who made the supreme sacrifice in the
worthiest of all worthy causes.
Lot us be true to our exalted principles and our ideal
ism in the trying days of reconstruction now dawning, so
that our dead shall have not died in vain. Let us, as a na
tion, continue to hold tho torch that enlightens the world.
"Tho sword of civilization's right
lias beaten back malignant might.
Whore power of Day and Xight were pitted,
Light dawns, and ilan is manumitted.
"Xo more tho destinies of years
Are draped with doubts, or hung with fears.
The fright fulness which was is not
And (Jod has triumphed over (Jott.
"Wo are tho heirs of inarivred hosts,
The dead have crowned the living.
"We bow before those blessed hosts
And humbly breathe Thanksgiving."

Unintelligent Voting
(Fnmi tho OroL'on Voter.)
Tlie VHssaiie o ho two Jackson
bills by n vote of the lu-onlc of Ore
iron Insi week in one of the clearest
examples of the abuse of the initia
tive system that hns uceurreil.
It is a uerfeetlv safe assumption
that 75 per cent of the votes in favor
of the abolishment of the publication
of the delinquent tax lists and the
establishment of a 3V' cent leifal ad
vestisintr rate were unmtelliirentlv
east, for the simple .rsaeon that not
one voter in four took the trouble to
investigate the merits, fathom tho
ournose nor consider the hurmt'ujnuss
of these measures.
On the fare of these bills they ap
peared as economy measures and
such ienonmt!v received supnort. In
realitv the voters were made the tools
for spite bv (.'. S. Jackson of the Ore
gon Jo'.trnal on the newspapers of the
state outside of Portland and a full
rrensure of re venire has been accom
plished. It would have been more sensible
had the voters been nsked .tofavor th(
establishment of maximum prices of
25 cents nor dozen on es. 8-eenr
milk or $.100 automobile, for the enU
lible voters then would have at least
stooped to consider the harmful ef
fects on the producers and mauitfae
tnrTs. I tut as it was the economv

"!'ed t'nnn to r'onnte thnir on'v pt-
ic causes. The revenue received from
the publication of the delinquent tax
lists was one of the few tautrible nn
sets left and the leaal ndvertisine
at an average price of cents per
line L'ave bi;t a sinal nmmiti of profit,
as that price hud been current lor
years past, despite the increases in
all costs of niannfacturint'-
Now the newspaper publisher, bv
n vote of his own people, unintelii
t'entlv cast, has been substantiallv
legislated ont of this business and
forced to content himself with a It1
cent per line letral advertisinir rate
and at a time when he was entitled
to fully double that amount, il
elmnres were increased in proportion
to the prices of other manufactured
articles.
The state of Oreiron will surely lose
by this unintelligent vote in favor of
this oppressive newspaper legislation.
Over .10 strictly country newspapers
in this state have suspended publica
tion and none out of business within
the pat two years, representinjr
about 35 per cent of the state's week
ly and daily newspapers, not to men
tion numerous semi-newspapers and
other publications.
These un fort una ti publications
could not weather the increased costs
of labor and materials incident to
the war and at the same time donate
to the L'overnment a majority of their
advertising and reading columns for
patriotic purposes and besides stand
the oa of usual income from rail-

One
of the
blessings
of peace
HEworld is again
JL at peace
r Wliile the United States as well as every nation in Europe facc3 peace problems as serious as were
the problems of war, we of this country are particularly fortunate in that any feed crisis which may
have threatened us is like the war a thing of the past.
True we must husband our food resources, for we still have a great humanitarian service to render
all of Europe we must help to supply her peoples with food.
One of the blessings which has come to us wilh
the declaration of Peace is the permission grant
ed our people by the IT. ,S. Food Administration
to return to an all wheat flour basis in their bak
ing and cojddng
It is no longer necessary to use wheat substi
tutes. Some will doubt les scontiuue to do so be
cause they learned to like them: the great ma
jority of American people however greet the re
turn of all-wheat k" 'ail, cake and pastry to the
daily table with as much joy as they would the
return of a friend long absent
No other food can take the place in the Ameri
can home of bread made from flour, produced by
the scientific grinding of choicest wheat berries.
Winn the l'isher Flouring l-iils Company of
Seattle began the manufacture in America's
Finest Flouring Mills" six years ago of l'isher 's
lilend Flour it announced Fisher's Hlend a pro
duct superior to other flours. Housewives so
found it, hence its extreme popularity on the Pa
cific Coast. This superiority lias always been
maintained, even during the trying war period.
It has always been made of choicest Eastern
Hard Wheat and choicest Washington and Ore
. gon illuesteni. In pre-war times housewives
found that it was real economy to pay more for
Fisiu r's Hlend Flour than tor flours anade. of
Washington and Oregon wheats. It is greater
economy tuday than ever before to buy Fisher's
F.leiid because the government having advanced
the price of Washington end Oregon wheats,
manufacturers of Washington and Oregon wheat
flours increased their prices until there is little
if any difference between the price of Washing
ton and Oregon wheat flours and Fi.-her's lMcnd.

Using Fisher's Blend Flour Is Real Economy
