Indeed., when once we step and think of those things which we are thankful, we ex idaim in 'amazement: iUIovy many blessings have we for which to eive thanks! How very much for which we should celebrate our Thanksgiv ing Day this year with more earn estness than we have ever felt in the psst! ' But as Governor Bickett says: "A nation-wide survey discovers on the surface of things little to stimu late public gratitude." At a glance conditions do look pretty bad, but at a closer inspec tion we find much for which to re turn thanks. And we should ever bear in mind t!u?t it is by way of the t-ross that we pass to immortality. Although the outlook seems gloomy snd dark at present, remember that the sun sets to rise again.

"A'as! by some degree of woe. We eveiy bliss must gain; The heart can na'er transport, knew That never feels a pain." In truth the .American people have much for which to be thank ful. The scars of the great Work? Witr are rapidly healing. Our country has resumed her peaceful routine of industry and prosperity, just as simply and prompt ly as she rushed to arms in answer to the call of the suffering nations of Europe. The lavs, honor, and cod name 'f our country pre supported, imp held and extolled by its citizens a gainst all sinister attacks. Our field? have yielded boutnifuiiy and our in dustries hf.ve flourished. Error arc! irviustice are passing away. Is all this not enough for which to be thankful? Look for a moment at the. coun tiic.t of Europe. What picture comes before our eyes? Is it one of peace rnd happiness?

Ohio State Journa?. TO SHOW THEY NEF (BY MAX ABERNETIIY) Raleign, Nov. 30. Having learned that efforts were to be made at the regular session of the general assem bly in January to secure the enact ment of divers measures affecting railroads operating in North Caro lina, officials of the roads are un derstood to have begun the compil ation of data showing just how near the financial breakers their lines are at the present time. F'oremest among the legislative en actment sought is a law that wilJ place watchmen at every crossing of importance in the state. This bill has alrady been drafted and is ready for introduction wdren the legislators get dow to business on January T. next. That it will work a hardship on the railroads is generally admit ted while railway officials say that such legislation will sacrp every operating line in North Carolina be yond hopof repair financially. Thov net only do not want the law passed but they think that it wiil be voted down because the members of tha legislature know that lack of reve nue would prevent its being enforced even if enacted. The railroads are universally cu ,s ed and even though private owner ship has been resumed the public re tains its wartime tirade. An increase of passenger and pullman rates, it was thought would make for bettf service. The railway officials think it did but the traveling public dissents most heartily. The increase in ratp. hawever, has injured the carriers or at least they are beinsr injured and the fares are high enough, it may be the falling price of cotton and to bacco and the h. c. 1. of life's ne cessities but it is a fact that travel on all line in the state has fallen awaiy; this is particularly tiA'e of the pullman service, so friends of the carriers insist. Legislation contemplated that will force them to spend money other than for repairs and improvements is viewed with alarm by railway offi cials. It means disaster since the money cannot be had. E.
