It s neot lMiely that they will do suything to embarrass theirssucces- #ors, although our democratic contem- raries dre expressifiy fesr that they Il be vindictive and do something , punish the people for their defeat. The Bestom Post says: “Vast damage may be done by those who remaim; fer the new congress, cleeted by the people upon definfte is- «ues, does not assemble in regular sei sion for 1] meaths to come. It is im- serative that public opimion shall be breught to bear upon this expiring ongress with o force and emphasis that #ha¥ compel observance of the opslar will as expressed in the late lactions.” Thete ts litle Sauger that the re- sblicans will do anything to add bur- jens to the country, for they can trust do that, the democrats to with feet confidence. per- THE EUROPEAN WAY.

Orson. Re- ember that name. Fer Orson is one of the greatest towns in the world. Of course Orsom isn't as big as Jonden, or New York, or Bagdad, or perhaps Oshakosh. Bug Orson has doue something that mome of the so-called cities of the bas ever zreat weorld done. ‘Orsen has dodged all local taxes— coessfully and houestiy. The Orson railway is free to every citizen of the town. “The telephome service is free. Schwols end libraries cost the cit- jzene abeelutely nothing. “AM because, a gemesation or two ago, the patriotic people of Orson planted trees. Orson has a municipal forest that has yielded the town $5,- ©06.000 in the past thirty years. “And the $5,000000 has paid the running expenses of the town, Of course, there ism't anything to hinder any American town from do- ing the same thing. But we don’t no- tice any American town doing It “Put it's werth thinking about, isn't ie? “Also 1t might be worth while to Consider at the same time the fact that white Orson was paying her mu- nieipal expenses for the past year from the praceeds of her well-kept forest, the American natlon, through neglect of her ferests, was suffering a loss of $280,000,000 and more than 100 lives.” No one has thought of such a meth- od as this of preducing a taxless town; and this amample is oniy an incidental of a very wise action. If every shamid de it, the speil would be = ‘broken, wnd ‘umber would have to be given away tnstead of being so profit- ally sold. BuSS KILLERS BECOME BOSSES Ouly the unsophisticated ever ex- Fect to see u party without a boss. Ins boss seems to be just as neces- sary for ihe direction of public affairs 4s he does for the promotion of Indus- irial enterprises. Iy is always a new machine that cries “Down with the old machine:” and not infrequently it is found that the change has really been no improvement. This Is the case in Massachuselis today, where Fass, the boss-killer, 4s playing the part of the fercest golitical boss the Old Bay diate has known for many years. The Newbaryport News, marking the ex- iragrdinary conduet of the new gov- erqor, says: “This commonweulth years seen no more ridiculous sight than that which is presenied by the govienor-elect. All through the cam- paign he has been crying ‘Down with tre posses!” 1n .season and out of geason he has derided the man who woeuld take his own will and try to force it upon the people. Yet no 8000~ has for many er is e elected than he is discovered at the same game himself. He issues a bombastic letter in which he de- mands, not suggests, but demands, mark you, that Senator Lodge resign from the contest for the senatorship. He, a democrat, attempts to dictate what the republicans shall do_in the legismture., He forgets the digaity of the office to which he has been elected and uses language which is anything but ntting. He forgets that he is simply the executive officer of the state, and so iries to be the legislative end as well. “And what has he accomplished? Merely this, that il kinds of people are exasperated at his threats, and that Senator Lodge could not possibly, even if he wished to do so, withdraw from the contest. Yes, more than this. It is leading people te compare Lodge's record with Foss. And they find that Lodge's name has been as- soclated with about all the progressive national legislation of recent times, while Koss has simply been making spdbches when he was running for office, but not making himself heard either in one way or another when constructive legislation was pending in congress.” Such truths as these sink deep. The people know a statesman from a mountebank and in the power of per- ception lies Lodge's hope. Governor Toss is just beatiig himself EDITORIAL NOTES.

If this is true it is not sur- prising that the ruralites have sworn “By Ginger” for uncounted generations. We all are taught that a little ginger is a most commendable thing, but we never realized that it was such & mir- acle worker that it could bring good nature out of grouchiness in short or- der. If this is true the smils is a product of the stomach and is closely related to love, which is the finest out- put of the human heart. In view of these facts the ginger jar ought to re- duce the domestic jars to the leamt possible number. Do not forget this valnable remedy. “Some people waste a 1ot of valuable time,” says a writer, “trying to think of plausible excuses for not doing what they ought to do.” Quite likzly he had in mind the people who feol with duty We all do this more or less. Whan duly prompts to action, if we are true to ourselves and the spirit which prompts us duty ie usually attended to; but when one stops to meditate upon duty he is more than half a failure, end is soon searching for plausible excuses fo1 not doing what ought to be done. Duty calls for action, and the call is too fmportant to be trifled with. Duty makes no attempt to flatter—it oftener tests our mettle by the way it touches our hearts, and it quickly shows us, too, whether we have a true heart or a false one. How much the joy of living creased by the knowledge that every month represents divine wisdom and that the operation of the rest months is of advantage 10 the growing and harvest months. There are no mel- ancholy days in nature—God never made a melanchely day. The depress- ed human mind finds melancholy days in June as well as November. No- vember landscapes may be bare and drear and November winds may be bieak and searching, but the November skies have a special beauty and the play of the sun through the clouds and its cool, clear atmesphere upon near and distant landscapes by its light and its shadows makes moving pic- tures beautiful to the eye. Its cirrhus and cumulus clouds are as pretty and variable as the fleecy and banked clouds of the summer monthe, and its sunsets if less brilliant lack not the color combinations which please the eye and prompts the heart “Better keep your temper, it is better | for you than for anyone else” is a saying that i not a misfit to any per- son. It is an accomplishment to be able to keep your temper and few people have acquired it. Whenever it is done it increases the batiing aver- age of the joy of living 900 per cent. The temperamentelly quesr people make more than haif the fuss in life and furnish none of the feathars. A quick tempered person is never quick witted—nature cannot make a combli- nation of this Sort because she can make no mistake. A high tempered person usually has a low down tengue in his mouth. If he holds his temper be will hold his tongue. and that ought to make him “the captain of his des- tiny and the master of his fate!” So it is apparent enough why keeping one's temper is better for the keeper than anyone else. Do not be afraid of the man who declares he is going to tell you some- thing for your own good, for it may be a joke that will make ritl you laugh, or a sm which will ¢ te a smile d of cutting advice which ma wring your heart.

A small Doy on his way to school, LUgRIng a Crook-meck squash as large as himself, reminds me of the begin- ning of this Thanksgiving work in our midst. We haq then a woman for city missionary, and to her we owe much, and from her this generous Thanksgiving offering takes its start. She well knew from her own experi- ence that many small gifts united will make a large one, and so she asked the children to bring to school during the days preceding Thanksgiving one apple and ome potato. The amount collected in this way was a surprise to her and to many others. The plan has continued till now. Year after year has seen such a collection made in the schools for the benefit of the destitute of the city, though now it rarely occurs that a child contents herself with the amount first asked for. The result is wonderful in variety and amount, and if we read the report made by the city missionary we shall find that it takes but a short time to fill a barrel with vegetables or apples. The cihldren no Jonger restrict themselyes to those things, but a glimpse at the collection -hefliped together in the various school buildings shows a great variety of stores, and tells us that not only the grocer has been patronized, but also the baker, the meat market and the frult dealer, while jellies and canned fruits are brought in to help swell the contribution. No child feeis too roor at Thanksgiving to bring something for poor people, and the smaller the «<hild the larger the selection he makes. From the children the custom has Bpread among their elders, until ail our community have become interested in their worls, and it is quite tmprobable that anyone should lack a comfortable meal on this day so dear to the Ameri- can heart and especially to tne New Englanders among whom it took its rise. The proper way to make people thankful seems, from olden times, to be to supply them with a feast, and Thanksgiving is firmly assoclated in our minds with good things to eat. So we hear of employers glVin‘Btux'kays to their workmen, of The Bulletin's prize turkeys going to public insti- tions mbout town, of work done by the Salvation Army and by the various branches of tne King’'s Daughters, to say nothing of the many heiped by the geveral churches to which they belong. And lately mention was made in our dally papers of Thanksgiving boxes Yor soldlers and sallors. Choice eating must open the heart in some way, for we all know a child is usually attract- ed towards those who glve them candy or something nice to eat. New-comers to our town havs commented with sur- prise and admiration upon the various | charitable organizations existing here, {as being in greater proportion to our population than in many other locali- ties, and when we think of the Shelt- ing Arms, Rock Nook, the Johnson and the Huntineton homes, above all_ the Backus hospital, we certainly have some reason to be proud of our little city. Another unique way of celebration 1s the barrel-burning, which seems to be almost entirely a local custom. How 1 used to enjoy the barrel-burning in my childhood! A large vacant lot near our home was a favorite spot for one set of barrcl-burners, and they were always provided with turpentine balls in addition to the stacks of bar- THANKSGIVING REVERIES P~ -’ =) s DA e — AnD rels.
