How tardily they.come Unheralded by wonder of the dawn. To blend into the shadows of the eve And Cade into the "darkness of the night. October days. How gentle and how fine, How beautiful, how colorful, how bright In dress of red and brown and green and gold, bathed in tender shadows and soft light. October days. How pensive Is their air, How fugitive of mood. A lack of sound Broods death-like over all the stubble fields, A hush, the prelude of the winter song. October days. The chorus has been stopped And still the solo rings up to the skies, Until the air in spirit is dissolved, ale on the earth a healing silence falls. '"days. The harvesting is done. The running of the yeUow sap has ceased, All cares and troubles now are at an end, The universal mother sleeps and dreams. October days. All life is at a poise. The tide of months at last has reached its flood. The leaf must fall, the seed go to its tomb To rest until the resurrection morn. October days. From forest, wood and stream A fragrant incense floats upon the breeze, The ewfihee of a ripe, perfected life, The bounty of a nature opalent. The spring is birth, and summer is the growth, October days, though, are maturity— The Intermezzo in the endless song. The melody of birth and life and death. —C. E. H. i?

SHOVING THANKSGIVING ABOUND Nobody can be called hidebound for regis tering a strong and impatient protest against the cheap and objectionable movement of cer tain organizations in the east for the appoint ment of November twenty-third as Thanksgiv ing day instead of November thirtieth, which, being the last Thursday in November, is the republic as a day of national thanksgiving to the Deify for benefits enjoyed. The reason cooly assigned for seeking a change is that the Christmas trade will there iby be increased. The people will not begin their Christmas shopping until after Thanks giving, say these eager merchants, and if we Thanksgiving day a week earlier we shall get at their purses jusi so much sooner. Sel- a more undignified proposal been made so bluntly. Are we so completely commercial ized as that? Are we ready to shove a great national holiday around the calendar at the nod and beck of a few special interests? This is not the habit of the American peo ple. And the Thanksgiving holiday is the feast of all the people of the no Ilited "1' should not be changed. The people may be al lowed, we think, to do their shopping when they please. The only decent plea, that of re lieving congestion in the shops at Christmas time can be answered in a more becoming way. THRIFT AS BUSINESS AND RELIGION. "So live," says a vigorous writer, "thai yon can look any blamed Tnnn in the eye and tell jhim to go," etc., etc. One of the ways of being able to do tnis is I to avoid doing things that would sound badly iif they were truthfully published in the news papers. Another way is to save money. Thrift stands on a lower plane than integrity, jbut it may accompany integrity and has been known to associate with many of the most admired virtues. Many families have no call to be thrifty, in the sense of easing money out of their daily expenditures, but others could save without denying themselves the necessi ties of life, and many of them would respect themselves more if they did save. The great American middle cla§s, and it is necessary to recognize a 11 class''.. _inthis connection, has room for more of the Spartan virtues than, it ordinarily practices. But the promoters of the coming nation wide thrift campaign are likely to shock some old-fashioned people by their innovation of a "Thrift Sunday" in the churches. America makes enough of her religion of money with out having it officially recognized by the churches. Thrift and efficiency are not spirit ual virtues. They do not mdke us love pur fel lows any more. Develop these qualities to the Himit and without some other change in human »nature the world would not be a whit happier. declara- Let us be thrifty, but let us hear a little more In Baltimore the new Rockefeller Founda- Hopkins university.

IOWA PREM COMMENT. Grand Junction Globe: Paul Still man has added somewhat to the pleasantries of the campaign by de manding that the republican candi date for governor withdraw. This Is about the worst slap any newspaper ever administered to the Iowa pri mary law. Of coarse. Brother Still man does not expect Harding to with draw. Of coarse, the demand Broth er Stlllman makes is for political purposes only. Charles City Press: Have you noticed that John T. Hamilton, dem ocratic candidate for governor two years ago, has not said a word about Meredith for governor? Marion Register: The fight on Harding is simply infernal. Editor or preacher, no difference. Not one of them has a better temperance record than the victim of their scur rilous attacks. A sorry lot they'll he the morning of November 8. Rolfe Arrow: The silliest thing that come from the Iowa press as yet in this strangest of all cam paigns is the suggestion of Paul Still man in his Jefferson Bee that Hard ing withdraw. It is an insult to the intelligence of the 107,000 republicans who voted for him In the primary, and we were not one of them, either. If he would do such a thing, we'd help tar and feather him. A better suggestion is that Paul Stillman and a few more like him go soak their heads. '^.r: Ocheyeaan Press: No min 'can climb high without making some very warm enemies, as one may observe by giving the political sftuatlpn... the: once over. Cedar Rapids Gazette: The spirit in which a thing is read has a great deal to do with the meaning con veyed. For instance both republi cans and democrats will derive a sat isfaction from this extract from a letter written by Senator Kenyon to the Nevada Representative: "I have just read in the paper your sugges tion that Iowa set an example that Hughes rest the days he is assigned here. That is one of the most sens ible suggestions I have ever seen. I hope yon will posh it." Sioux City Journal: It takes near ly a newspaper page of solid nonpar eil for a mere enumeration of the la bor bills for which Harding voted while a member of the house. And yet the paid boosters for the silk socked democratic candidate for gov ernor are seriously at work trying to persuade laboring men tbat Harding is the candidate of "the interests." By paying bounties for scalps, the counties of western Kansas are re ducing the rabbit population quite rapidly. For example, the county cleric of Scott ocunty pays 5,000 monthly in the season. He says that he has paid so much as $100 in a single day. The price is five cents per scalp. In June and July, 10,206 rabbits "bit the dust" In Scott county. Ks CHARLESTON.
