It seems that iTV pne respect the
? Irish question is lily Danquo's ghost.
~Il will not down.
If Congress keeps|on it will resolve
itself into a "Committee of In(
vestigation." It might pay to have a
ten year holiday around the capital, i
L
Mr. Bryan may yet live to see the |
day when he can truly say, "I had '
rather be right than president."
Uncle Sam's ten year holiday pro- !
posal was a "solar plexus" to the as- (
scmbled foreign delegates to the dis-,
armament conference.
- I
The Governor has said "no" to any!
public building program for next1
year and it probable that there will
bo many echoes of approval of this
position from the mountains to the
seaboard.
It looks as if all that is binding as
a result of the disarmament conference
will look very much like the
League of Nations.
Today will be hailed with delight
Dy many a fellow who has laid in ;
kit stock of ammunition and has
longed for freedom of the woods. (
It would seem that some of the1'
opposition to Mr. Ford's offer for
Muscle Shoals is the fear that he ;
%ould really give some significance
to the first part of the name.
IN ASSOCIATED t H.YIUTIKS FOIl
DILLON.
We raise the question of propriety
of an Associated Charities for our
town. Hardly a day passt s but that
there are appeals to help some one
claimed to be in need or distress. A
laige number of people are beuevoently
inclined and willing to help
any worthy benevolent object, but |
they have no opportunity of knowing d
?3io circumstances or the worthiness
if the appeal. Sometimes these are (1
presented by irresponsible parties and \
the benevolently inclined make aj1
contribution on the ground that they j
rather assist some who are unworthy j
than to miss one worthy case. It;*
appears to us thnt tho fmrn lo ~r ....r i
ticient size now and the charity
problem is sufficiently complex to
warrant the organization of an As.sociated
Charities to take over such |
work in our community. We are
not pressing the matter but feel constrained
to raise the question of the
propriety of the consideration of such v
a move and call upon the citizens of ja
the town to think it over and see if '
soine practical plan cannot be devjs- j11
e<l to handle what is becoming more '
a difficult and complex problem in ! t]
our midst. j g(
1 THE CRIME WAVE. t,
It is probably true that the crime o
wave which has been sweeping over n
sur country during the past few b
years is gradually receding, yet it i? i _
still present, in sufficent volume to!
cause alarm. There is still a multi-1
plicity of killing and taking human'
tife and the citizenship of the land
if being driven to the point where ajjj
more positive stand must be taken ^
n* behalf of the preservation of huinan
life. In this particular type of p
arime Dillon county has a good rec- e<
.ord of late. It has been some time t
since there was a case in the county G
ecurt ioc rauraer and this fact has e
keen commented upon by presiding I
judges. It is to be hoped that we C
can keep up this record. And in this 1
ecnnectiQn it may be added that this 1
county has been conspicuous by the
absence of cases of self destruction
which has been become prevalent in
the country at large. While we are ^
aware of the fact that conditions can ,
change at any time, and we are not ,
giving ourselves to undue exultation, (
atiM it is noteworthy that we have i
ben remarkably free from the above i
and it ought to be the aspiration of I
the citizenship of our county that we *
shall become even freer of every sort 1
of crime than we are. *

THANKSGIVING.
I It is interesting to study the different
attitudes assumed toward
thanksgiving and what is known as
Thanksgiving Day. To some it is sim- i
ply a day of cessation from labor (
while to others it is an onnortunitv
for frivolity. There are those who
will have the joy of happy family
gatherings while others will he barred
such pleasure. Some will see in
it an occasion for revelling in their
blessings while others will be led to
be- profoundly grateful for any blessings
which have come upon them
sod in case they have been deprived
f these they will still be of thank
ful heart to Him who never makes a
mistake. A very fine thanksgiving
spirit is displayed in the following:
This is Thanksgiving day. Its obserrance
ought to be in the best sense
religious. And it might be well to this
end to review the feelings and emotions
with which we approach it
Much of our thankfulness may be
THE DILLON 1
pv.rely selfish. The family circle hai
remained unbroken. No wasting sick
ness has come into the . home. Pros
perity has left its blessings. Tlu
table is laden with plenty. There ii
meat in the larder and grain in th<
storehouse. Because of these thing!
they imagine they are grateful; bui
such gratitude is of the essence oi
selfishness. It is dependent upon ex
terior conditions. It finds its basis
in circumstances. It draws its inspir
atiou from clear skies and smnnti
sailing, hence it is fitful and evanes
cent as the alternations of sunligh
and shadow. If these conditions o
personal comfort and prosperity an
in themselves the ground of thanks
fulness, where in the hour of adver
sity shall we find occasion for re
joicing? The record of the past hi'
its graver side. There have been pah
and losses and disappoinmtents ant
bereavements and heartaches. When
in these things is there reason ant
ground for gratitude? Has the emptj
larder, the bare table, the desolatt
home, the vacant chair, the fresi
mound in the cemetery, no place foi
thanksgiving? Ah, just here is tht
point of stumbling with many at
earnest soul. We find in the blttei
chill of adversity the true test of oui
gratitude. And that is true gratitude
which, triumphing over condition:
merely physical and external, finds
its ground of thankfulness in God
Himself. It is independent of circumstances.
It goes beneath the surface
of life, whether sad or joyous,
and found itself upon God." This is
well o"t and we commend it tn dm
consideration of our people as our
attention is once more in a special
way directed to thanksgiving.
"For the fruit of the time of our toil
For wliat'er wo have fought for;
Whether born of the brain or the soil
Do the meed we have sought for;
I'or ihe gifts we have had from His
hand
Who is Lord of ihe living.
