PROPOSED CHANGE FOR THANKSGIVING DATE. Representative Stokes of Dayton has introucded a bilLin the legislature to designate Tuesday, Nov. 11th as Thanksgiving Day.

Suppose that somewhere down town in New York,, or m Chicago or St. Louis, there were a huge auction room, where the U vcb of men and of little children were on sale. Suppose that every day the auqtiorterV red flag hung out as a sign that on that day so many men were to be allowed to die; so many women; and so many little opes. Allowed to die, just for the lack of a few dol­ lars. Just for the want of the little sum that „ would ransom them. . Suppose that were the case, X say to myself ; could I ‘possibly stay away? Is there any argu­ ment I could give to myself that' would keep me from going there day after day, and buying with all my power? Buying men and women and children, at that auctioneer's block, with the dol­ lars that would mean life- to them? It's not a very pretty picture; yet compared to-the pictures that I have seen from stricken Armenia and Syria,’ ar. 1 allathe empires of the Near East, it is almost beautiful;' For men and wmne;: and children are dying over there—dying for the lack of sums that seem pitifully, miserably smr.il. * • ‘ I am not rich, and I have all the Httle worries . th a t are common to us niiddje class folks. Wor­ ries about next year's Income tax;' and- about the future .of business, and where my income . •will go to if such and suqh things take place. But I have a worse worry ‘ than that, The 'worry for what my conscience will say to me, . if in this hour of the world's tribulation I do not do my share. • ! The worry lest in my ears for the rest of my life there should be the cry of a man, or a woman, or a little child whose life I might have saved. For they are crying over there today, stretch­ ing out their weak, tired arms... And’it’s a mar­ vellous thought to me; that modest as my income is, it’s big enough to let me save the life of one of them—big enough to give me a man, or a woman, or a child who will never cease to be thankful that I did. my part. They are waiting for our answer over there: yours and mine: A poor stricken man broken by the war; and a woman, weak from her struggle and te rro r; and a baby who can live and grow up into useful manhood o r womanhood, if only you say the word. MEMORIAL SERVICES AT THE COLLEGE. There will be another vote on the question of womans suffrage i f a res­ olution offerd in the Ohio legislature becomes a law.

I f # ' • \ NO ADDITIONAL TAX ON VARIOUS AMUSEMENTS* The action of congress in endeavor­ ing to increase the tart on'amusements has created a stir over the country not only among theatrical, interests which protested but from lecture course and ; athletic interests. The action of th e ; conferees in deciding to let the tax re*. main a t 10 per cent instead of 20 ends the controversy. Vx V We doubt not that some of his telligent audience approved fearless presentation of his own views on the subject, but from the after comments we are inclined to conclude that the greater majority of parents and others interested in safeguarding the youth of our land felt that the stamp of approval placed upon the insidious cigarette habit by the rev erend gentlemen was not wholly be­ coming minister of the gospel We have heard of no attempt to re­ form tobacco users in our army, navy or marine during the war, nor any serious objection to supplying their cravings for tobacco while in the ser- vice—but there has been a mighty protest throughout the land against popularizing the tobacco habit and upon -the young men who heard and and apparently thrusting “smokes" upon the young men .who heard and heeded their country's call, The thinking public- should not be deceived. The furnishing of tobocco to the soldiers was conceived and fos­ tered by the manufacturers of tobacco instead of the users-of tobacco. I t was a financial scheme rather than a phil­ anthropic movement. Perusal of to­ bacco journals proves this conclusive­ ly. The'tobacco manufacturers clev­ erly garbed themselves in the cloak of “patriotism" and for a time certain patriotic and religious organizations were their tools. *’i our great reconstruction program fof a better and safer America we himfcelf.
