We Give Thanks AE give thanks on this Thanksgiving- day of 1940 that YY we live in a land free from the scourge of war and removed by a wide ocean from the bombs, the power pontics, and the evil intrigue or turope. We give thanks that the people of our nation are not pawns in the hands of egotistic, power-seeking dic tators, upon whose whims the lives of tens of thousands may be destroyed. We srive thanks that the people of our nation still may say something about their own destiny, and that thev have the facilities and the right to make their desires and opinions articulate to those they have chosen to represent them in the high councils of government. We give thanks that there exists in our nation a two- party system and that between tnese two parties is a near-balance that promises protection for the rights and views of minorities, at the same time permitting leader ship and a positive program on the part of the majority. We give thanks that the people of our nation are big enough, when an election is over, to drop the partisan bitterness of the campaign and to talk eagerly of loyalty and unity and good will. We give thanks that we live between the wide hor izons of the western country and not in the deep, teeming canyons of the great centers of the east. We give thanks that we live in Oregon, to which millions of Americans have looked, since the first covered wagon days down to this Thanksgiving day, as a "prom ised land' We give thanks that our state has chosen its course . carefully, that it has preserved its financial and political integrity, and that it stands ready to build on a solid foundation as the westering star of empire brings it new people and new industry. We give thanks that we live in the Klamath country, a land 01 resources, 01 opportunity lor wor and piay, of friendly people. We give thanks for the ruarsred beauty of the sur- ' roundings of our home city, and for the easy nearness of open and unspoiled country. , We give thanks for the friends we have and the acquaintances we have made in the communities of the Midland Empire. We give thanks for the opportunity to serve, through the medium of our newspaper, this vast and resourceful area, and for the opportunity on this Thanksgiving day to pledge again our earnest desire to advance the welfare 01 the line people who live within its far-flung boundaries, Thanksgiving Day by LYDIA MARIA CHILD Over the river and through the wood, To Grandfather's house we go. The horse knows the way. To carry the sleigh. Through the white and drifted snow. Over the river and through the wood, Ohl how the wind does blowl It stings the toes, And bites the nose, As over the ground we go. Over the river and through the wood, To have a first rate play. Hear the bells ring, "Ting-aling-ling," Hurrah for Thanksgiving day. Over the river and through the wood. Trot fast, my dapple gray, Spring over the ground Like a hunting hound, For this is Thanksgiving Dayl Over the river and through the wood, And straight through the barnyard gate. We seem to go Extremely slow, It is so hard to wait! Over the river and through the wood. Now grandmother's cap I spy J Hurray for the fun Is the pudding done? Hurray for the pumpkin pie. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 The third term suffered a slight discoloration over the left eye even before the main bout is to start in January when the house refused to adjourn. It may not call for an application of beeksteak, but it will certain ly slow down the post-election rush around Washington. It is true Mr. Roosevelt had authorized the statement that he did not care whether or not con gress adjourned, lie had noth ing to lose or gain legislatively. But his leaders worked with ut most vigor to effect adjourn ment. The last cloakroom scene before the vote showed the new democratic leader, John McCor mack, working with both arms in strenuous gestures against a good new deal democrat from California who was opposed to adjourning. Both McCormack and Speaker Rayburn succeeded in getting a number of doubting democrats to pair or absent themselves. There is, therefore, no question but what the admin istration wanted the boys to quit. PEACE PLEDGES The adjournment move failed primarily because a number of democratic congressmen, includ ing a few ardent new dealers. had pledged themselves to do everything possible to keep this country at peace and they Just couia not explain a vote for ad journment in the face of these fresh commitments. A combina tion of these peace men with democrats interested in pending legislation (Smtth and Cox in the labor board amendments, Walter in the Walter-Logan bill, etc.) was sufficient to make the repub licans a majority. The vote proves again that not as much has been chanced bv the election as you may have thought Even though the re publicans lose eight of the next house, this vote shows that the rubber stamp of the early new deal days is still out of ink.

Watch the Classified Page TOO LOUD If things were going as well for Italy as Mussolini contended there would have been no need for him to make that speech. The truth as it is seen by the best military ayes here is that not half of Mussolini's military pre- uii-aiuent ubm oeen nerataea publicly. Rome did some grand adver tising months ago about a two- way attack on Britain's mam artery running through Alexan dria. A flying wedge was to be driven up the Red sea from Ital- East Africa. Nothing has been said of it since. The reason may lie in terse reports of heavy British bombing activity against ast African towns from which the drive would have to be launched. More extensively amplified silence has engulfed Graziani and the second wedge wnicn was to descend upon Alex. andria from the west. The only excuses available here are that sandstorms have impaired the operation of Italian mechanized units, water is scarce and British destroyers continue to shell the single road up from Libya. FOURTH BUST The fuming duce set out just as big against Khartoum in the British Sudan. Ho captured Kassala, just across the Italian East African border and Galla- bat on the border further south. Last reports, (not to be trusted entirely) Indicate the British have recaptured both points. Fully to be trusted, however, is the obvious indication that this Khartoum drive too has joined the Egyptian wedge, the Libyan attack, and the Grecian affair, as a complete bust. The news of these affairs cannot be kept entirely from the Italian people. That is why Mussolini was forced to take the stump. The Italian high command seems to have over-committed it. self, flying off in all directions without organization either of purpose or of power. Whether it has yet strung its force out Berkeley Scientist's New Theory of Evolution Casts Doubts on 'Missing Link' By ROGER JOHNSON BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. there need not be necessarily an 21 Intermediate between ilnnn 7n 1 hGe-MtM- NORTH WEST HJNTED POLICE Pelicau Soon UU.ll (UP) A new and radical theory of evolution, differing with the classic Darwinian teachings by maintaining the process of or ganic development Is rapid in stead of gradual, was announced tonight by Dr. Richard B. Gold schmidt, renowned biologist and former associate of Dr. Albert Einstein. Dr. Goldschmidt's theory, per haps the most significant on the subject of evolution so far this century, was developed over a period of 30 years In research throughout the world. The the ory casts grave doubts on the existence of a "missing link" in the history of the biological growth of man. Dr. Goldschmldt, like Dr. Ein stein, is a voluntary exile front Germany where he had been an associate of the famed physicist at the Kaiser Wilhelm institute. Dr. Goldschmldt is professor of zoology at University of Cali fornia. It is Dr. Goldschmidt's thesis evolution, the process by which new types of organisms come into being, takes place rapidly rather than in slow steps. The famous theory advanced by Charles Darwin in 1859 holds the change in living organisms occurs gradually by addition of more or less small changes. His theory and variations of it have been accepted - generally by scientists as an explanation of the development of new types of organisms. But Dr. Goldschmldt believes these changes are sudden and violent; that they occur by radl cal mutation marked variations in the offspring of an organism. Dr. Goldschmldt emphasized he does not refute evolution, but he does differ with the Darwinian theory in regard to the speed of evolution. Darwinian theorists say there must be intermediate specimens such as the so-called "missing link" to fill gaps in the order of evolution of animal species. But Dr. Goldschmldt says these steps are taken in evolution In one "leap" or mutation. He believes, for example, that thropus. a primitive type of man who lived many thousands of years ago, and homo sapiens, modern man. This step of evo lution, he holds, could have taken place in one evolutionary leap. His theory In brief: There are two processes In evolution, one "imcroevolutlon ary," concerned with the smaller mutation within a specie to en able it to adapt Itself to its en vironment, such as the change of coloring in animals to harmonize with the surroundings; and "macroevolutionary," which "may proceed by large and sud den changes which accomplish at once what small accumulations cannot perfect in eons." "In many cases," said Dr. Goldschmldt, "a single upset leads automatically, to a whole series of consecutive changes of development. If the result is not, as it frequently is, a mon strosity Incapable of completing development and surviving, complete new anatomical con. struction may emerge in one step from such a change. Murder Feared In IllNanpearAnce Of Aged Couple CANYON CITY, Ore., Nov. 21 (UP) State police today searched for the bodies of Mr, and Mrs. Ira Martin, aged couple residing on Miller creek who have been missing for more than a week, In tha belief that they had met with foul play. Officers posted a reward of $190 and police expressed the belief the elderly couple may have been murdered and their bodies burled in some Isolated ravine. Tractors operated by Grant county officials dug into a num ber of mounds In tho vicinity In search of bodies. Experienced woodsmen searched the rocky ravines near the Martin cabin. Solon IJrtfeit Taxes Meet Non-Defense Iludget for 1911 WASHINGTON. Nov, 21 (UP) I Federal taxes should be in-i creased next vnar iifNpltlv tn I balance non-defense government expenditures, Chairman Robert L. Doughton of the house ways and means committee, declared after conferring with President Hoosevelt. Doughton conceded that huso defense expenditures could not be put on a pay-as-you-go basis but he urged that every effort be made to cut other outlays and meet them with new levies. He added that a new tax bill would be offered to the commit tee shortly after it convenes in January. HOLD EVERYTHING sufficiently thin to welcome dis aster all along the line is not clear. The British have been using purely defensive tactics so far. They have been pouring troops into Alexandria, however, and may shortly be ready to take the offensive. usr DAY "MEXICAN SPITFIRE" TOMORROW Rtdtatd DIX Qaii PATRICK 'RIO' ALSO COMEDY.

The council proved Its point but Caldwell proved the exception that proves tha rule. His six drinks contained an ounce of 86-proof apiece, taken I at half-hour Intervals.
