The majority of the people, with t';e cr mes of tiv.)

We li.nl much to bo thankful for last year this t me, but t!i: re wa much that vvur r.ed the country. On next Thur..ta, however, the ju.tlon and world will bo at peace. The Prussian menace lias been de stroyed, the Ki'rfat munition plants are being re-converted into plough factories ami automobile shops and the soldiers are coming home. Tho country Is high.y prosperous; the fu ture is bright. Never in history have we as a peo ple had so much for which to be grateful and next Tnauksgiving day we can show this. A customary way of showing one's thankfulness m North Carolina and what a happy way it is is to remember those who are not o fortunate, whose parents have been removed and who are be ing cared for by the various orphan ages. We can support those insti tutions. A pledge now would reach the institution In time for the great American Thanksgiving day. ation of them. It will be hard to convince people that any military necessity existed for commandeering the cables after the armistice had been signed. What does Mr. Bur leson now have in mind in saying: "There never was a time in the history of this war for which this joint 'reso'ution was passed giving the president the right to- control th. w'ro and cable systems which calVd for such a close control of tho n cable svstem as today and wia con " . . t .1 i tinue during the per.oct oi reaujusi mntit. The absolute necessity of uninterrupted, continuous communi cation should be apparent to all. The rostmaster-ceneral is now operating all the telegraph and telephone lines in one system. Mr. Burleson is a puzzle. If the government could go from August until November, when m..itary opc-r ations ended, without running the ocean cables, why can't it go on in the same way until peace is formal ly proclaimed?

Jones of Conover R-l under date of October 27 that he is getting along nicely in a British hospital after being put out of action by a wound. He has been transferred to a convalescent camp and speaks favorably of his treatment. The letter was written on stationery of .he Scottish Churches' Huts. "The British people," Mr. Jones says, "are very kind to me. They THAT 011NGE !N WOMAN'S LIFE are sure fine comrades to be with. Teli all of my friends that I am all right and am at a good place and will write to them as soon as I can.''

I Yet why shou d the cables be taken over in order to promote a sovernment ownership scheme? The ac: of congress under which gov ernment control of wire systems was authorized specifies that at the end of t!v.' war this control shall cease. Neither the postoTice department nor the adimin'stration can nullify the liw. By the fme formal peace is proclaimed, furthermore congress wii 1 o organized by Republican ma j -V ties and the Republican leaders mv plainly determined to make their party the F1KST IN HISTORY The Associated Press dispatch de scribing tho surrender of the mighty German fleet made the best reading the Record has had in a number of oays. The point was emphasized that never before in history had a Rreat fleet surrendered without a battle, and an American ofiicer was quoted as commencing on the bravery ctf the Spaniards under Cerevera, who knew they had no chance, but who put out to death and destruct ion. it ia a tradition that sea-lighters must be brave men. That is a heritage of the American and Brit ish navies. Odds make a difference, but brave men do not consider that. The Germans undoubted, y are brave seamen, and it is one of the myste ries of the age why the great high seas fleet meekly surrendered 'with out striking a blow. The Germans were resourceful enough in piracy, but they lacked the nerve to meet the British and French flcet3. One trial was en ough and that that was proclaimed a German victory after which the German fleet went back Into its hole, not to emerge until it surrendered ingloriously to a gallant foe. That hnai spectacle should be enough to kill ail ambition among German youths to be seamen. Fremont, 0.

Mr. Mackay's assumption that "in cip'ent government ownership" Is at the bottom of Mr. Burleson's performance can be accepted onjy in case the present administration 1 as determined to fight the release of the wire systems from govern ment control at the proclamation of peace and to carry the issue in to polit'cs and the presidential election of 1!:20. By now making complete uovernm?nt control an accomplished fact, there will be a considerable pe r'od in which the postolfice depart ment can try out the ideas of the government ownership advocates and finally apc-al to the people on the bus's of actual experience In the linking up jof the wire systems with the post office on the lines of the British system. Mr, Burleson is proceeding in several ways as if he was determ ined to make the most of his opor tun'ties in unifying the wire systems and in readjusting their rate sched ules. He has ordered a reduction in tolls on night telegraph mes sages and made them subject to de livery by postoffilce carriers after January 1. He has also ordered that the Western Union and the Posta telegraph companies be operated as cne organization. These steps, now that the fighting appears to hafe ended, reveal a line of policy that cannot be mistaken. LIVE STOCK PROGRAM E CHARLOTT SHOW A great many people had observ ed that Mf Burleson might have taken over the teiigraph and cable companies during tho war, instead of waiting until peace was restored. The people of the United States may be reconciled to government owner ship, but it looks now as if the party that tries it will receive a severe bumping in 1020. The Record is add'ng new sub scribers these days almost as rapid ly as during the war. Merchants nd business men who are interested in advertising would do well to make a personal invest'gntion of the Rec ord's list of subscribers. Raleigh, Nov. 22.
