THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1901
The ELECTION.

AS this page goes to press, the con
troll of the Legislature is in doubt.
Returns from the counties are far too
meagre to permit of a trustworthy
conclusion. As has been the case up
on all previous occasions of "a close
contest, counties from which practic
ally no reports have come are being
claimed as carried by the German
ticket. The Legislative vote in Bal
timore city shows an aggregate net
gain for the Republicans of about
$4,000 over the corresponding vote in
1899, and this remarkable result is
likely to be reflected in a greater or
less degree in many of the counties of
the State Until further returns
shall have been received, the Rep ub-
Leans have no reason whatever to
concede to German the control of the
Legislature upon joint ballot.

Thanksgiving Day the United States
has made new record in the export
of its agricultural and manufactured
products. Europe is more dependent
upon our farms and factories than
ever before. While state of war ex-
lists in the Philippines, peace prevails
at home and our relations with other
nations are of a friendly character.
The country has been relieved of a
part of the burden of war taxes, and,
although those which remain are far
from acceptable, there is cause for
thankfulness that the situation is not
worse. The nation has escaped plague
and pestilence, and there have been
no overwhelming disasters by fire and
flood, like those of previous years.
On the whole, the American people
have every cause to give thanks out
of grateful hearts for the blessings
they have enjoyed in this first year of
the twentieth century.
In the concluding sentences OF his
proclamation President Roosevelt in
dicates that he has no faith in a
Thanksgiving which is mere lip SER
vice. He believes that deeds should
be linked with the words with which
We express our gratitude. we can
best prove our thankfulness to the
Almighty" says the President, "by
the way in which on this earth and
at this time each of us does his duty
to his fellowmen.r That is large
phrase, to be sure, including the
whole question of human conduct
and human relations. But it is not a
"glittering generality" and an indi-
vidual application can be given it by
all of us, unless, as a people, we are
so self-complacent that we can see no
room for improvement in ourselves,
either as a nation or as individuals.

HIGH SCHOOLS INCREASING.

The late census returns show that
the number of public high schools in
the United States increased from 1926
in 1890 to 6005 in 1900. 1t is evident
from this statement that our public
school authorities are not content
with the mere learning of the three
Rs by the rising generation. The
daily multiplication of inventions and
the constant increase in the number
of discoveries add thousands of new
occupations to be followed by young
men and young women entering up
on their life work. Improvements in
machinery demand more skill. The
development of electricity requires
more scientific knowledge. Trans
portation by railroad and steamship
call for more intelligence than trans
portation by stage coach and sailing
vessel. The concentration of popu-
lation into the large cities makes
competition sharper and more exact
ing. The trades and most all other
avocations are DIVIDED and subdivid-
ed into specialties, each offering good
wages to skillful workmen, but very
meager compensation to common
laborers.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-11-07
DEMOCRATS HAVE NO POLICY.

There is no national Democratic
party. There is an aggregation of
political leaders with diverse views
and antagonistic interests. 1t is
called by the people at large the
Democratic party, but no one knows
for what the Democratic party stands.
1t is doubtful if at the next national
convention there will be single state
east of the Mississippi River which
will have delegation calling for the
reaffirmation of the platform of 1896
or 1900, unless such delegation come
from the Southern States.
And yet, should the next national
Democratic platform abandon the
principles of 1896 and 1900, should it
declare for the maintenance of the
gold standard; in other words, should
the party place itself in harmony
with the influences which are ad-
vancing the commerce of the United
States at an unprecedented rate,
there would be division in the party
as marked as that of 1896. 1t is man
ifest to everyone that the Democratic
party cannot be unified under the
leadership of Mr.. Bryan on the one
hand or the leadership of Mr.. Hill or
Mr.. Croker or Mr. Watterson on the
other. Therefore, we say that the
Democratic party as a national Or
ganization stands for no definite
policy. 1t has no definite program.
Its opponents in one state contradict
the declarations of its opponents in
other states. So we have in the po-
litical field simply guerrilla war
fare, each command following its
own chosen leaders, but incapable of
formulating great campaign or
uniting under one commander.
Why should the people of the
South, with undeveloped mines, with
vast sources of wealth, looking for
capital to build factories and ships
and cities-why should the South
throw itself politically across the path
of progress? Why should it make it's
alliance with these guerrillas? Why
should it make war upon the very in
fluences that are doing most to de-
velop it's resources and to make good
what the South has lost by the Civil
War and that long era of isolation
which followed the reconstruction ?

President Refers to Mr.. McKinIey's Death.
Names Thursday, November rs.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-President
Roosevelt has issued his proclamation
fixing Thursday, November %, as
day of national thanksgiving. The
proclamation is as follows:
PROCLAMATION.
The season is nigh when, according
to the time hallowed custom of our
people, the President appoints day
as the especial occasion for praise and
Thanksgiving to God.
This thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
of great and good President. We
mourn President Mckinley because
we so loved and honored him; and
the manner of his death should awak-
en- in the breasts of our people keen
anxiety for the country, and at the
same time resolute purpose not to
be driven by any calamity from the
path of strong, orderly, popular lib
erty, which, as nation, we have thus
trod.
Yet in spite of this great disaster it
is nevertheless true that no people on
earth have suclI abundant cause for
Thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been enc of
peace and plenty. We have pros
pered in things material and have
been able to work for our own uplift-
ing in things intellectual and spirit
ual. Let us remember that as much
has been given us, much will be ex-
pected from us; and that true hon.
age comes from the heart as well as
from the lips, and shows itself in
deeds. We can best prove our thank
fulness to the Almighty by the way
in which on this earth and at this
time each of us does his duty to his
fellowmen
Now, therefore, |, Theo dore Roose-
welt, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen.
eral thanksgiving Thursday, the
twenty-eighth of this present Novem-
Der, and do recommend that through
out the land the people cease from
their wonted occupations, and at their
several homes and places of worship
reverently thank the Giyer of all good
for the countless blessings of our ma
tional life.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this second day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and one. and of the indepen-
dence of the United States the one
hundred and twenty-sixth.

THE PRESIDENTS THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION.

President Roosevelt Saturday is
sued his proclamation designating
Thursday, November %, as the ma
tional Thanksgiving Day. In his
proclamation the President alludes
to the tragic death of his predecessor,
which, he says, should awake in the
breasts of our people keen anxiety
for the country and at the same time
a resolute purpose not to be driven
by any calamity from the path of
strong, orderly liberty
The American people have cause
for profound thankfulness and graft
tude that their government is so firmly
established that the assassination of
Mr.. Mckinley, shocking and deplora-
BILE as it was, served to strengthen
our institutions rather than to weak
Ell and impair them in any way. A
calamity which might have produced
a revolution among people less ac-
custOmed and less adapted to what
President Roosevelt calls ''strong, Or
derby liberty made Americans more
determined than ever to preserve the
institutions which wisdom and exper-
fence have proved to be the best, most
liberal and most satisfying the world
has ever known. The United States
has cause not only for thankfulness
but pride in that at time of intense
excitement, when the eyes of all the
nations were centered upon it, it gave
the world convincing evidence of the
stability of republican institutions,
as we'll as striking illustration of
democracy. 1t is the fashion nova
days not only among monarchists but
among some reared under republi-
can form of government to assert
that democracies are inherently weak
and cannot have permanent exist
ence. The American people proved
in the recent crisis that they possess
the spirit and determination which
assure the perpetuity of republican
form of government in the United
States. The monarchists of the Old
World have had an object lesson in
the dignity and self-restraint of de-
moeracy which they will not soon
forget.
The United States has abundant
reasons for Thanksgiving in the mate
rial prosperity of the nation. Our in
dustries are prospecting in exceeding
great measure. The products OF
American industrial skill find a ready
sale in the markets of the world
There are few unemployed-the work.
ingman sharing to a notable degree in
the prosperity of the country. Drouth
has decreased to some extent the pro
ductivity of the farms of the West
and Southwest, but it is probable
that while the farmers of those States
will not have as much to sell as in 6
good year." they will get better
prices and thus be compensated fol
the smaller haryests. Since last
