To approach it from any other standpoint would be to meddle with it and muddle it rather than settle it President Roosevelt, who has shown himself so ar- dent in his eagerness to get at a solution of the problem, has recognized the importance of maintain- ing a spirit of impartiality in dealing with it. In his recent address at New York he said: “Arro- gance, suspicion, brutal envy of the well-to-do, brutal indifference toward those who are not well-to-do, the hard refusal to consider the rights of others, the foolish refusal to consider the limits of beneficent ac- tion, the base appeal to the spirit of selfish greed, whether it take the form of plunder of the fortunate or of oppression of the unfortunate—from these and from all kindred vices this nation must be kept free if it is to remain in its present position in the fore- front of the peoples of the world.” g If Congress and the people approach the trust and other industrial problems with a spirit free from par- tisanship or class prejudice there can be little doubt that 2 proper and right regulation of trusts can be devised. “As the President has said, “Good will come even out of our present evils if we face them armed with the old homely virtues; if we show that we are fearless of soul, cool of head and kindly of heart.” Under the leadership of the President the people can be counted on to manifest those homely virtues, and accordingly we may watch the course of Con- gress on this issue with much less fear than would be felt were a different kind of man in the White House. restricting them dorn may It is ness . —— The Boer and the Briton have . at last met on a field in which beth must win equal honor.

All are made to feel | the genial spirit that is the day’s endowment and its greatest grace. As if all men belonged ! to the same club, and the country were a clubhouse or a home, and all were met in it, joined by ties of kin, to-day more people partake of the same fare and have pleasures ir the means of pleasure and satisfaction among those unable to procure them. charity. It is pleasure-sharing brotherhood. Cynics say “It’s only one dinner.” But it is| more than that. A Thanksgiving dinner of the same material and similar preparation may be had by those able to have it every day in the year. Butit would not be a Thanksgiving | RAYER and thanksgiving are as old as the human sense of debendence and grati- as is characteristic of our people, has taken on On this appointed day it is the pleasure of everybody to see to it that everybody has reason for thankfulness. That may sound paradoxical, but it is true. Other days in the year, and all other days in the year, charity in every form is abroad in the land, seeking the disinherited and. forlorn, to re- lieve and minister to them, to see that they are sheltered and fed. But charity stops on Thanksgiving day. Yet on that day more helpless are helped, more hungry fed and more sorrowful made glad than on any other day of the year, but not for charity. There is no element of almsgiving in it. While the receiver is made thankful, the benefit is to the giver, is happier that he can’give, and that there are those to receive. His bounty is greater than theirs, and he somewhat equalizes by dividing it. So it comes to pass that on this day there are probably more genuinely happy . people in We bestow ordinary, daily charity with a feeling of regret that it is needed, and oft-| | en spend a bad quarter of an hour shaking our fists at social conditions which make char- to' find that the suppliant who was relieved The beggar n in the family nature of the day from old is of Puritan origin, and it was the great day Its history is the growth of a liberal and brotherly spirit in religion.

But witness how the world Now the descendants of the Puritan and Catholic and Episcopalian and all are, both, and have toward each other the spirit of | both. So in all families this has grown to be a home holiday, when relatives gather under the memory of their common joys andtrials, and especially the recollection of Thanksgiving days long gone by.

HEN “Truthful James” told in simple lan- guage what he knew about the row that | Wbroke up the society upon the Stanislaus | the scientific world treated the narrative as the mere | jingling of an irresponsible person. In fact, scien- tists have claimed to be so cool and so reasonable a set of men that such a thing as hot words, much | less blows, could not occur among them. The so- | ciety on the Stanislaus was looked upon as an ama- | 2 % | teur society, and the resulting row was regarded as | | | an evidence that the members were not infused, in- spired, animated and controlled by spirit. So far as blows are concerned the scientists may be | right. We have no evidence that any truly “scientific | gent” did ever heave rocks at another or engage in | warfare with the remnants of the paleozoic age. | When it comes to hard words, however, the evi- | dence against the scientists is conclusive. We learn from the reports of the recent meeting of the Inter- nitional Congress of Americanists in New York that there came very nea: being a heated row over so simple a question-as whether a man has a right to refer to an American Indian as an “Amerind.” It appears that in a paper read before the con- gress on “‘Anthropology in Early American Writings” guished member of the American Anthro- pological Society used the word. Thereupon another | member rose and denounced the word as “a hybrid, | a mongrel and a monster.” The writer of the paper defended his word by saying that “American Indian” is understood to refer only to Indians - of North America, and there is needed the term “Amerind” to signify Indians of all the Americas. Objection was at once made to such a compound. It was argued that if a new term were needed it should be coined of Greek or Latin. The first critic said: “We Americans should think of our fellow- workers in other countries. What if a Russian were to abbreviate and combine a number of words so as to express a meaning which he well understood, and which was handy for him? What if a Japanese scientist combined the parts of several Japanese words similarly? Why, there would be immediate protest from America and France and Germany and other countries if they attempted to secure the adop- tion of their new words by an international congress such as this. ‘Amerind’ comes from the English, and would have no intelligible universal meaning. I re- peat, it is a hybrid, a mongrel and a monster, and should be abandoned.” After that the discussion grew lively as the pro- ceedings of a Democratic caucus. One speaker in discussing the question referred to the word as “one which I do not care to pronounce,” and‘a second man made the same reference. Thereupon the writer of the paper interjected: “There are people who are very near a condition of mind the name of which 1 hesitate to mention. as they hesitate to pronounce the name ‘Amerind.” " At that stage of the discussion the chairman put the scientific |2 stop to the argument and the rising sarcasm by calling for the next paper, so the session ended with the question undecided. It will be well, however, for aspiring anthropologists to be careful how they speak of Amerinds in the presence of scientists of the higher type. e e ) Democratic opponents of David Bennett Hillare now in the habit of speaking of him as “the Mad » Mullah of Wolferts Roost.” THE STATEHOOD BILL. ECENT reports from Washinigton to the ei- R of the omnibus bill conferring statehood .on Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma - will report favorably as to the last named Territory but adversely to the other two are by no means agreeable to the West, but should not be looked upon as at all alarm- ing. In fact, the committee has always been deemed adverse to the bill. It was charged with delaying the bill during the last session and with trying to stifle it in the committee-room. The advocates of the measure were so convinced of the hostility of the committee that they regarded it as a victory when they obtained an agreement that the bill should be reported either favorably or adversely on or before December 10. Such being the situation, the report that the com- homa only is not in the least discouraging. It merely shows that the opposition to the bill has not mate- rially weakened, and does not in any way imply that i the fight for statehood is going to be any harder than it was at the last session. The one suggestion of danger in the report is that the supporters of Okla- homa may be induced by an offer of admission by a separate bill to desert the cause of Arizona and New Mexico, but that danger is slight. The three Terri- tories have thus far made common cause, and should either of them now seek advantage by betraying the other two it would run great risk of losing more than it gains. The Call has repeatedly pointed out that the claims of the three Territories for admission are thor- oughly valid. Each of them has-at this time a larger wealth, population and area than several of the ex- isting States. Moreover, each of them has resources and potencies of growth and development far su- perior to several of the States. In fact, winile a good many States in the East will from this time on de- crease in their proportionate rating for wealth and population, Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma will steadily increase for years to come. They are there- fore fully entitled to statehood, not only for what they are, but for what they are destined to be, and stheir admission should be granted by a unanimous vote. 3 It is to be moted in this conmection that of late there have been a good many evidences of the ex- istence in the East of a spirit of sectional opposition irrigation bill has been made the subject of a good many charges that the East is being taxed to im- prove the West, and the charges are repeated again and again despite the refutation of them by the state- ment that the funds for irrigation are'to be obtained from the arid States and Territories themselves and not from the E:st at all.

Wooster, chairman of the exhibit committee of the State Board of Trade, will ‘offer some suggestions. The exer- cises incident to the formal opening prom- ise to be instructive and agreeable. The promoters of this citrus fair desire that the fact shall be made known far and wide that the production of citrus fruits in Northern and Central California is a remunerative enterprise. The ex- hibits embrace an immense quantity of fruits, packed and ready for immediate shipment. The idea of showing the fruit in boxes is to demonstrate the commer- cial possibilities of sitrus culture in many counties of the San Joaquin and Sacra- | mento valleys. The exhibitors hailing from Tulare, Placer, Fresno, San doa- quin, Kern, Butte, Sacramento, Yolo and Colusa direct special attention to the quality and character of the oranges. The Colusa County booth in the north end of the grand nave engages the notice of visitors. At the Midwinter Fair Co-, lusa County won the first prize for na- vel oranges, and the diploma attesting this trlumph addrns the display in the Ferry building. Among products exhib- ited in the Colusa collection are Zante currants prepared for shipment; also or- { anges, lemons, apples. citrons, persim- mons, barley, wheat, broom corn, Bgyp- tlan corn, oats, rye and, alfalfa.
