The Fourth of July,

Tomorrow, the fourth day Of July
is the NEST universally observed ho-
liday in the United States.
But two other days, Christmas
and Thanksgiving Day, are rscog.
.nizsd as holidays in each and all OF
The States, but the observance of
these days, although as widespread,
cannot at ell compare with the pat
riOtic fervor and eutpouring populsr
enthusiasm with which the Fourth
Is hailed and celebrated. 1t may
therefore be truly said to be "the
Great National American Holiday
And now under the change Of
sovereignty in respect to this Island
from Spain to the United States it
will naturally take its place as one
Of the Peoples Holidays in Porto
Rico.
Technically there is no "National"
holiday in the United States.
Congress has indeed made certain
days public holidays by statutes,
but these laws apply only to the
District of Columbia and to the Te-
rritories, ever which alone the Fed.
sral Congress can exercise csntrOl
in the matter Of holidays. Zach
state provides by law for itS own
legal holidays, and in no two states
are the Same days all made holi-
days.
1t ID true that the President each
year, in pursuance Of ancient Gus.
tom, issues . Proclamation calling
upon the people throughout tbs
country to observe Thanksgiving
Day [the last Thursday in November
as = day Of rest and fasting.
E But the proclamation of the Pres
idsnt is merely advisory. 1t has no
legal effect in any state which does
not supplement it by appropriate
statutory enactM ent.
There are in all Is days observed
~ holidays in one or more Of the
States. Each of these days is a
legal holiday in "somsD Of the Sta
tes, but no one Of than is . statute
ry holiday in call" the States. In
two Of the States no day during the
year is set apart by law aS a legaliz-
cd holiday. In these States, howe
yer, Nevada and Mississippi the
Fourth of July, Christmas and
Thanksgiving Day are generally
observed by common consent.
Following the three days named,
the days most generally observed as
holidays in the United States are
New Years Day, January 1st,-
observed in all but Eve states; Was.
hington's Birthday, in all except
two; Decoration Day, in all except
the Southern States, and Labor Day,
which is observed in nearly every
State.
SO 1t will be seen that the United
States in rather well supplied with
holidays after all.
