thk cost of thanksgiving.
As a rather unpleasant news item,
the statement is printed that every
thing at the Thanksgiving table, ex
ecpt water, will cost more this year
than it ever has cost before.
This is true only of the material
things that any one. even the most t
selfish and unhospitable man in',
America, can buy, but it is not true
of the spiritual things at the Thanks
giving table. The thing> which make
Thanksgiving day the great distinc
tive American holiday that it ha*
grown to be, Cost nothing, not even an
effort of mind or soul.
Like the older holiday which all
(hr istianity celebrates, the Thanks
giving spirit fills the air automati
cally. It never has to be summoned.
It comes, and we cannot resist it even
if we so desired. The garnering ofi
the winter’s food naturally suggested
the feast, but it is the Thanksgiving j
>puit that converts a meal of corned
beef and cabbage, and deep apple pie
into a veritable feast.
The really valuable things at the
Thanksgiving table cannot be bought}
for money—neither the home-coming,
of the absent children, nor the che t. j
nor the gratitude, nor the feeling of
re>t. nor the family prayer.
KOLSHEV1KI, MAXIMALISTS
Seward, Nov. 26.—(To the Kditorj
of the Gateway)—Apologizing for;
my complete ignorance. 1 wish that,
you would explain who are the Ho!-’
ttheviki ami the Maximalists of whom j
we read every day about in the Gate-;
w-av.
AMKUICUS
The Bolsheviki comprise the anar
chistic elements of various revolu
tionary factions. As far as can be
determined, they do not const.tut*
an organized party. Their adherents j
are drawn from all parties aivl hold
widely differing views or. economic j
subjects. Their common ground,
however, is their demand or action j
and their readiness to go to anv ex
treme, even to that ol assassination, j
in ofter to accomplish their end.-.
They may be succinctly described as;
the I. W. W. of Russia.
The Maximalists are scarcely .ess
radical or anarchistic in their attitude
than the Bolshevik!. They have, how
ever, a more definite political *ro*
gram, and they appear to have U»cn
convinced of the undesirability of ter-]
roristic action at this time. Tin* ex
cesses resulting from the action of
the Leninites produced a distinc * re
action among the Maximalists, who
had previously been advocate of “di
rect action.” Up to the non ent of
the Korniloff revolt they wjie giv
. ing their support, though rather
grudging’y, to the provis. >ivu gov
ernment.
Woodrow Wilson who knows how
to use the English language quite as
well as any president since the days
of scholarly Jefferson, introduced in
to the. highest American literary so
ciety a parentless child of the gutter
when in his great speech at Buffalo
he spoke of the men who “are up
against the real thing.” Thus does
the sponsorship of masters of litera
ture change undignified slang into
eminently respectable diction. Eng
land does not take kindly to Ameri
can slang, but she reads Wilson’s ad
dressee, and we imagine she will need
no glossary of American slang to com
prehend what it is to be up against
the real thing.
Booze was saved in Ohio by an eye-'
lash—less than one-fifth of 1 per cent j
of the total vote. Will the powerful
whiskey and beer interests of Cincin
ati be able to withstand the assault
which is bound to come next Novem-1
ber ?
BY THK1K DEEDS YE SHALL
KNOW THEM
< Fairbanks News-Miner)
Col. B. 0. Lenoir sends out a mes- >
sage telling of the subscription toi j
Liberty Bonds by every man on the i
graph and Cable system. In his clis-j
patch there is an air of pride that ;s;
justified.
For twenty years the Signal Corps j
men of Alaska have braved the wild- \
erness, the storm of winter and pes
tilential mosquito in summer, have
giv« !;vos in answer to the call
of d it, d their answer to the call
for subscriptions to Liberty Bonds
was just what might have been ox
peeled of them. The tradition of thc(
Signal Corps in Alaska is as great as
that of the Northwest Mounted Po-j
lice—something to bo lived up to, and
the otlieers and men now on the sys
tem are not found wanting.
They are doing, as they have al- j
ways done in the past, answering the»
call of duty, and “by their deeds yc.
shall know them" to bo that which
they are —good soldiers, good men!
good citizens.

Tall of form and fair of feature
Oh. thio quite accomplished creature
Came to us not long ago from the
Inside.
If there’s anything on earth
In which he cannot be of worth
Well, he knows that ho could do it if;
he tried.
On the tennis court he's king;
He can do most anything;
Oh! he surely puts the rest of us to;
shame.
He writes verses like Frank Cotter
Some are rot and some are rotter
But he’s not afraid to sign his name.!
When you speak of Hobcn’s pets
“Why I used to play with vets
When those kids were in the back;
yard playing ball.”
So next Spring our “Smoky Joe”
Some real class will have to show
But perhaps next Spring we’re apt j
to see some FALL,

How the ladies he can please
When he glides them round the floor]
at A. Ik Hall.
But get this into your head
For in spite of all that’s said
He’s a prettey blame good fellow af*;

RUSSIA MAY
BE UNIFIED
BY HUNGER
%
' LONDON, Nov. 27.—Although the
Uolsheviki are apparently still in the!
supremo political command in Pctro
grad, that phase of the country’s for
tunes does not seem to be receiving j
any amount of attention. The burden
>f all recent messages from the capi
tal and Moscow is that the great
problem and the great fear now every
where is hunger.
The people are forgetting their fac
tional differences and are coming to
gether to combat the common enemy,
hunger, as they never did to drive off
the nutioiVs other plague, the Teuton
armies. Disuster and a wide-spread
condition of famine are almost inev-j
ituble, say reliable advices. Trans-1
portation is badly disorganized, es
pecially since the recent revolt, and]
large stores of grain are said to have
spoiled before they could be moved to1
where they were needed.
After the abdication of Nicholas,
the peasants at first refused to sell
their crops, because the uncertain va-'
lue of Russian money made them]
doubt whether they would be able to,
purchase its worth in other commodi-j
ties. Also they knew they were at]
least safe from hunger as long as
they could keep their grain.
Many of them did not know how to
store it properly and it spoiled and
when the rest were ready to sell, the.
railroads were in such a muddle that
they could not handle it.
Meetings are being held to devise
means to escape the starvation that
seems to be staring the people in the
face. Party differences are sudden-j
ly relegated to the background.
