a UNIQUE PROCLAMATION.

The most unique, original and inter
esting Of last years proclamation5 was
that issued by J. B. Mayes, principal
chief of that enlightened and civilized
tribe, the Cherokees. We quote the first
paragraph of this proclamation, whose
main historical statement will astonish
many:
As our forefathers, when natures child
rem Of the forest, in pursuit of game.
around the council fire in simplicity did
give praise and thanks to the Great Spirit
in their yearly mystic green corn dance"
for the return of his great gift TO them
the Indian corn-now today. as a Chris
tian nation of people, it is but meet that
the Cherokee people should give thanks to
the Christians God for His continued pro-
lection of our tribe in the enjoyment of
their government and homes, and that,
through the many trials we have been
compelled to pass, He has continued to
bless our people.
That is a most interesting statement,
in its form and its breadth, simplicity
and power We have not seen his COM
munication to his people for this year
and this days recurrence, but suppose it
was duly promulgated and of even tenor
with the paragraph quoted above.

GIRLS AND THANKSGIVING.

The time has come for every girl to
make Thanksgiving. Somebody sighs
and wonders what they have to be
thankful for; but there isn't a human
being on the face of Gods earth who
can't find something for which to say,
II thank Thee, oh God" One girl has
that greatest of all blessings-good
health; another the blessing of bright,
happy home; another. though she lies on
an invalid's couch, the blessing of sun
shine and the consideration of those who
are less afflicted. One is glad because on
her third finger is a bright ring that
means she has become mistress of some
body's heart; and another is glad because
worry and troubles are all swallowed up
in that great paclfer-work. 1t will do
more for you and me when our hearts are
full of sorryw, and our eyes sore with
unshed tears, to feel that the hands must
be busy and the brain must be at work.
Il on Thanksgiving day you can do moth
ing else, then get down on your knees
and thank God for work II is the best
gift that out of His plenty He can offer
yOu.-Ruth Ashmore, IN Ladies Home
Journal.

CLEVELAND ON INGALLS,.

How the Democracy of this country
are laying awake nights praying that
ingalls, may be defeated. That party
hates him from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and back again by way Of Cape
Horn and all along from the Gulf up
the Atlantic coast. Ex-President Cleve-
land, the reputed father of Oscar Folsom,
writes Nels Acres Of Leavenworth a letter
on the situation as follows:
There is no one thing of the same
grade of importance which has resulted
from the recent election which ought to
please Democrats and decent people so
much as the prospect of the retirement
of Ingalls,.
Il do not know what kind of a Demo
crat it would be who would not labor in
season and out of season to prevent the
return TO the senate of this villitier of
everything Democratic. who has been
put forward by the Republican party to
pour out abuse too bad for even decent
Republicans, and who was made pre-
siding officer of the senate to crown their
insults to our party"

The broon-corn crop Of the counties of
Finnev, Grant, Morton and Stevens, says
the Garden City Imprint. will bring the
farmers more than $4,000 The brush
is said to be Of superior quality, both as
10 fineness and length Of straw, and ex-
cellence of color. The crop has been
saved in good shape, and shows what the
southwest can do in this line. Broom
corn has been demonstrated 10 be the
Burest crop, perhaps. that can be grown
in that section, until the system of irri-
cation shall be extended SO as to cover
all the available land. and as it is a prof
liable crop at all times, it will no doubt
rome into general favor with the farmers
as a ready-mOney crop.

With all Difference to the sincerity and
zeal or the good women OF the W. {. T.
L. regularl. in their attempt to interfere
with the new "canteen' system of the
regular army we think they greatly
magnify the evil they complain of. The
serving of beer and light wines in. the
army canteeus-which are simply social
societies organized for the benefit of Off
GERS and men and 10 provide them with
some Of the advantages and pleasures of
civil life while in Quarters-we say the
dispensing Of beverages under this Sys-
tenn is simply incidental, and the army
regulations and military discipline are
sufficient to check or prevent any ex-
cesses by the men in the service. The
report Of the secretary Of war just issued
does not bear out the statements made
10y the committee representing the W.
{. T. L. to the president on the subject.
The zeal of the W. {. T. l. in the cause
o. temperance is praiseworthv. If it were
only tempered and directed by more
Nenly balanced judgment.

From the statement of Gen Brooke,
who is in immediate comman in the
vicinity of the threatened outbreak in
the northwest, as To the cause of the dis
content among the Indians, it would
seem that more provisions is what is
most needed to quiet the red skins rather
than more soldiers. The policy OF the
government in providing for the Indians
absolutely may be open to criticism, but
since il has been adopted and has been
pursued long enough TO cause the ma
lions wards to rely upon it for their
maintenance, it should be ample TO pre-
vent actual want among the dependents.
As business matter it is cheaper 10 feed
them than to kill them.

Kansas leads all the rest of the states
in condition of the winter wheat crop,
and also in the per cent of increase IN
the acreage put to that crop this year
over last. The prospect now Is that
there is going to be an unprecedented
demand for elevator accommodations IN
Kansas, and especially in the southern
part of the state, the coming season. 1t
is hoped the business interests OF the
community in ali its departments will
not be allowed TO suffer on account of
inadequacy Of facilities to handle and
take care Of the great crops now promised.

The more the Kansas City, No, papers
think about Hon Jere Simpson the more
they magnify his importance. The
journal credits him to the Sixth district,
while the Star spreads him out over the
Fourth. Mr.. Simpson unquestionably
developed surprisingly in the recent cam
paign and at the election, but he hasn't
grown to be quite as large as the whole
state, although he is the representative
elect of the two biggest things in the
state, i. e. the Seventh congressional dis
tnct and the state S commercial metropo-
lis. Wichita.

It is stated that one-fifth of the native
married women of Massachusetts are
childless. In no country save France can
a similar condition of affairs be found.
On the other hand, instead of over 20
per cent only 1927 per cent of the for
eign born mothers of Massachusetts are
childless. What is the matter with the
women of the old Bay state? 1t is only
a day or two since it was stated that the
per cent of illiteracy is greater in that
state than in any other. Can it be that
these conditions-barrenness and litter
acy-have anything to do with produc-
ing each the other? And if not, what
is il?

"The leading Democratic journals of the

estimate the Advance places upon itself

that share its sentiments. There is moth
ing surprising in it, however; it is too
characteristic to cause surprise.

Crisp Apt to be Taken from the Com
mittee on Elections.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-Speaker Reeds
appointments to succeed the late Repre-
sentative Randall on the committees on ap-
preparations and on rules are looked for
with universal interest. The democratic
leaders, through Mr.. Carlisle have, it is
understood, intimated to him that they
would prefer to have Mr.. Outhwaite sue
ceed Mr.. Randall on the appropriations
committee, and Mr.. Mills succeed Mr.. Ran
dali on the committee on rules 1t might
be expected that Speaker Reed would
thereon make these appointments, but on
the contrary, he is said to be contemplating
others. In fact, he is said to be about to
take Representative Crisp from the elections
committee, where he is doing such splendid
work, and give him Mr. Randall's place
on the committee on appropriations, or at
best give him Mr. Randall's place on the
committee on rules in spite of the fact that
Mr.. Mills was member of that committee
in the last House. Neither Mr.. Mills nor
Mr. Crisp is doing anything in the matter.
MIR. Crisp said tonight that he had no inti-
nation from the speaker about it,
