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

Thanksgiving Day

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.

Theory of Evolution Casts
Doubts on 'Missing Link'

(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
