It {8 the day of acknowledgment that to Him we owe gratitude for the good things that have come to us, for the happiness we have, and that for which we hope. It is no day for quibbllnz’ as to terms or religious creeds or sects. It is a day merely when men and women are not ashamed to hold up their heads, to look -others in the eye and to acknowledge that there is a Power far beyond that which possesses them. And to that power we are indebted. Thus and no farther need we go. It is enough. Fvery man and every woman and every child old enough to understand should be glad to show that splendid trait of humanity, so often wanting, gratitude. No man who is a man, no woman who is a true woman can stand’ up and assert that he or she has nothing to be grateful for. If trials oppress at the moment, certainly they may be thankful that inspired hearts have helped to make those trials easier to bear, or stand ready and eager to help. If the fight is hard there are milestones in that fight which mark the moments of relief. And if there are many blessings their presence brings the longing to share them with others. Turn to the right hand or turn to the left; think of this mo- ment, the moment that has just passed or the momept that is to come—in one of them will be seen glorious, shining reasons for giving thanks. Discouragements may come, but only the coward bows before them. Ingratitude may be shown to us, but it only strengthens our de- termination not to be ungrateful. Tomorrow is the day when, more than ever, we realize our material welfare if we are well in a aterial way, our opportunities to gain that material welfare if it is not now with us. It is a day of gratitude, when only cowards refuse to acknowledge they have reason to be grateful, to be thankful. Whatever other tHoughts have come to us during the day it should be dominated by this one of Thanks- giving. The bright spots of the past year should be raised to dispel the darkness of the moments of shadow, and lamps should be trimmed that those times of darkness will be fewer in the year to come. * THE SHIP SUBSIDY. 'Probably there are more legislators in Washington with ‘“open minds" regarding the ship subsidy bill than is usually the case on important ques- tions. The Herald Washington cor- respondent sends the information that the Connecticut delegation is expected to stand solidly back of it, with the possible exception of K, Hart Fenn. It is likely that he, too, is with his associates from this state. Were politics perfect, and if one might be sure that the representa- tives from this section of the country would be wise enough and unselfish enough, personally, to be truly repre- sentative always, one might feel that, it they are supporting the measure the measure would be good for this section of the country—and let it go at that. But unfortunately there 1s “party regularity” to be considered; there is human fallibility, and there is the greater question as to whether or not the passage of this bill would benefit the whole country to such an extent that purely sectional interests should be forgotten. The farmers' bloc opposes the 'bill. Generally speaking the thing that the farmers oppose is favored by this gection ‘of the country, as it is not a farming scction. Again, foreign na- tions hope the Dbill will not pass; it would undoubtedly make American ships more dangerous rivals of their own vessels, Often the value of a plan to a person Or section may be judged by the opinion of that thing expressed by the enemies of that per- son or section. Viewed in this light the passage of the ship subsidy is to be desired. In favor of the bill, too, are the amendments which have been made to it—the withholding of the subsidy from the Standard Oil company, the steel corporations and the fruit com- | accumulated wisdom of the world and and they were granted aid in estab- lishing them in trade. The great point that stands out after the mind is confused by argu- ments pro and con is that in this way the United States would have that merchant marine and would be out of the business of running it, with the great possibility that immediately the annual cost of $50,000,000 would be at least materially reduced. EDUCATION, Dean Edward Herbert Hawkes of Columbia University made out a good case for education'when he spofe before a New Britain gathering of young - men Monday evening. It would have been a better case if the speaker had nat claimed so much and had conceded something to labor. Among other things, Dean Hawkes | is reported to have said that “an edu- cated man has the advantage over the llliterate® because he has the is, therefore, qualified to cope with any situation that arises and prepared to solve problems in life's work.” The picture is a little overdrawn, pur- posely, perhaps, to make an indelible impression on the minds of the youtn- ful audience. The “accumulated wis- dom of the world” does not always qualify a man to cope with any situation. There are college gradu- ates who neither spin nor toil, who produce nothing and whose contribu- tion to the advancement and welfare of the race is infinitesimal. This is fot the fault of education, of course, but of the individual. Again, Dean Hawkes said: “You cannot take an uneducated man and put him in office or business; he will utterly fail, and yet, take a college- bred man—he is bound to make good.” Experience proves that this is not true, A great many unedu- cated men have been in industry and business because they possessed native shrewdness and a goodly share of common sense sup- ported by the . knowledge—which many *collegg-bred men do not pos- sess—that hard work is essential to success. In other respects Dean Hawkes talk was inspiring. One assertion he mede was particularly timely. It dealt with the reasons for continuing the instruction of Latin, Greek and other languages in the schools. He said that a knowledge of these sub- jecta is desirable because it rounds out a man, makes him brdhder and takes him out of the path which he would otherwise tread if he Knew nothing of any subject other than his own particular specialty. In the course of his discussion, the New York man criticised Edison for compiling a, questionnaire by which he sought to determine the amount of general knowledge a man has. Edison is an extremist, and Dean | Hawkes has a tendency to be one also, but in the opposite direction. Some of Edison's statements indicate he believes that a college education handicaps a man. Dean Hawkes be- lieves that it is the ne plus ultra of existence. Neither is entirely right. Education on the broadest plane is desirable. In some lines it is essen- tal. But in the end, it is what a man does with his’ knowledge that makes the world better or worse, successful A CALL FOR DRASTIC ACTION, The health department is justified in taking a determined stand against violation of its quarantine rules. It will have popular support in the en- forcement of those rules and little sympathy will be.wasted if those who wan(only.u:orn them are punished. Quarantine regulations are adopted in the interest of public health, as measures to reduce the possibility of epidemics. No doubt they impose a hardship on a few people, but they protect the many and under our form of government the will of the many is supposed to be supreme. Exposing thg public to disease is a serious crime. We would think no punishment too severe for a person who ran through the streets with an open jar of deadly germs and spread, them broadcast. ‘That is just what happens when a person who has been | exposed to contggious disease and who has been quarantined by the 1 ,determined stand against the Turk, when England wants to oppose him, and a support of England when Eng- land wants to give in to him. Eng- land won't interfere with France con- cerning Germany--sympathetic eco- nomically as FEngland was: under Lloyd George—and France will stand with England in regard to England's maneuvering with the Turk. Thus the diplomats’ winks were most sat- isfactory to the winkers. It is quite probable that America's ‘“observer” observed the wink and understands its significance.

Subsidy advocates say ships are go important that it is better for a cour® try tos do this than to lose its mer- chant marine, When the United States entered the World, War the government began to build merchant ships—*"feverishly, extravagantly, wastefully, impracti- cally,"” Harding says. The war's end found the country with a large merchant fleet, so built, at a cost of $3,000,000,000 to $4,000,- 000,000, Since then the government has been running these vessels either directly or through private companies acting as its agents, The loss ‘on them, Harding says, is $60,000,000 annually, He wants to dispose of them ta pri- vate owners. But they won't be ac- cepted if they must be run at a loss. It #5 to cover this loss that the presi- dent proposes a subsidy. He estimates it at a maximum of $30,000,000 annually. Subsidy opponents say the plan simply is to tax the rest of the peo- ple for the shipowners’' benefit. They oppose supporting. any business that cannot pay its own wAy. Better, they argue, let the fleet gosand return to the old system of doing our shipping under. other flags than our own. The commonest opinion seems to be that the Subsidy Bill may pass the House of Representatives but that its chance in the’ Senate is none too good.

Freight Car Shortage i Steadily Disappearing Washington, Nov. 29.—Freight car ghortage is continuing to disappear, according to current reports to the car service division of the American Rallway association though it reached record peaks in recent weeks.

Turkey wants to include Russia in the conference, since, for the time being, their interests are the same. England's representafives argued that Russia has nothing to do. with the Laysanne negotiations. Then heither has the United States, answered the Turks. The British, French and Italians all want; Americans present, even if only unofficially. So it is quite likely Russia will be admitted too. Many diplomats think the confer- ence will prove to be, principally, a contest between England and Turkey for control of the Dardanelles. Ing- land wants to dominate this strait as a commercially important waterway and because it opens on the route be- tween India and the British Isles. The seme strait is Russia’s only sea outlet which is ice-free the year 'round.
