IT COMES ANNUALLY.

With periodic regularity that would
put the evolutions Of the moon to shame,
ever hobs up the peanut politician Of
Aberdeen. That he has been regularly
sat upon cuts no figure with this person.
age. He is simply inflated with the idea
that the republican party is burdened
with the weight of his membership, that,
if it can haul him, it can pull ''any old
thing"
Time after time has the HERALD put
this aspiring individual, land we are
speaking fguratively) to sleep, but he is
perfect Rip Van Wrinkle in the matter
of waking up just before city election.
and at this juncture threatens this city
with political administration. We have
heard this before. and every time his
name was properly spelled "Aspirinv
Politician With Whom His Party Was
Tired"
Now, TESTING aside does Aberdeen
want to walk backward in the procession
Of municipalities in the matter Of govern
ment? If it does, it will endorse these
peanut politicians and inausurate polit.
ical party system Of CITY government. II
it does not, it will repudiate those gentle
men, and at the conventions and polls
will give this ten-cent gentry to under
stand that if great majority OF the
voters OF Aberdeen are in unison with
the policies of the republican party in
matters OF national policy they are not
creatures to be handled by this tinhorn
method.
Just at this time it may be proper to
call attention to the fact that the entire
world, through it's ablest men and the
press. is congratulating Greater New
York for it's escape from party thraldom,
and it would certainly appear to any
friend of Aberdeen-without an axe to
grind--that to adopt party politics in the
city would be step OF refrigeration.
Aberdeen has heretofore managed tair.
ly we'll with city government selected
bv the people, free from the prejudice Of
party politics, and a departure from this
method would not only mark US as nor.
progressive town, but as one that was
unwilling to be guided by the experience
Of other and greater cities, whom we
hope in few years to meet with not only
a population, but city government Of
which we shall all he proud.

ton in public affairs.
Says this decision, in effect: You may
be the lowest bidder for public work,
but we have set of county commission
ers who will be ignorant, or blind to the
merits of your bid if your politics are
not right, and we have superior court
that will not decide whether or not Your
bid is the LOWEST OR BEST but will deter
mine, (something the law never contem-
plated) whether or not your bid is stuff
GENTLY low, Tor your politics sufficiently
right to "justify the court in interior
ing"
The HERALD is in full cognizance that
this is pretty straight talk concerning a
court for which it has heretofore had
considerable respect, but is also deeply
alive to the fact that the Court, in this
decision has not only attacked this paper,
but has laid the precedent for the viola
ton of every call for bids required by
the Statutes to be given by the board of
County Commissioners.
If $84. go in this instance is too small
to justify an interference, how much
may be the necessary difference in any
other contract? Space will be given to
Judge Irwin to answer this query.

PROCLAMATION BY GOVERNOR.

Thursday, November 2S, Set Apart as Thanks.
giving Day.
Governor Rogers on Monday issued the
following Thanksgiving proclamation:
1.-TWO hundred and eighty years have
flown since the first American Thanks
giving proclamation was issued. The
Pilgrim Fathers, having passed through
time OF doubt, disaster and death, in,
their effort to lay the foundation Of new
republic, had reaped bountiful harvest.
1t was clear to them that their efforts
were to be rewarded and with grateful
hearts they thanked God for the last
and took courage for the future.
"Since that day the American people
have passed through many and grievous
trials, but they have eyer been supported
and succored in their extremity. The
fathers, in days OF poverty. disaster and
apparent insignificance, laid moral foun-
dations strong and true, four-square to
the winds of heaven. Freedom and
security, for person and property, they
have left us a precious heritage. Given
these everything Of value becomes possi-
BILE to man. Without them men lose
hope, become cullen and rebellious and
nations perish. Progress in America has
hitherto been greater and mankind hap
pier than elsewhere for the reason that
here men have been freer and more
secure in person and property than was
ever before the case in any land beneath
the sun.
"We shall make progress in the future
il fire. edom and security continue the dis
tiuctive features of our government. But
freedom must b. for all and security ex-
ist for the earnings of the poor as we'll as
for the estates OF the rich. Pray God
that it may be go. and, like the fathers
of old, let us give thanks for the past and
take courage for the duties Of the future
"Now, therefore, in conformity with
time honored usage, l, John r. Rogers,
governor of the state OF Washington, do
hereby appoint Thursday, November %,
A. d. 1901, as a day OF public thanksgiv-
ing and prayer, to be observed with APP
propriate services by all.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to be affixed
the great seal Of the state Of Washington.
Done at Olympia this eleventh day of
November, in the year Of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and one, and OF
the independence of the United States
the one hundred and twenty-sixth.

Many of the large cigar factories,
where from hundred to several hum
dred men, women and girls are en-
ployed in the making of cigars, find
that if some light amusement is pro-
vided for the occupation of their minds
while they whirl tobacco leaves into
shane twice and three times as much
work is performed as if they were let
alone. This fact is we'll known to
manufacturers of the character of the
Best q Russell company, the Berri-
mans, Crennan, Moos, Nallens and 9TH
crs. The workers left to sit in silence
while they care for filler, wrapper and
final perfectness of cigar shape grow
indoent, careless, slow, and their daily
returns of cigars manufactured show
it. Hence the introduction of a read
en-" or music, on a music box. The
workers are instantly Checred up, their
fingers move faster, they have occupa-
ton for both body and mind, and the
gain is not alone their own, but that OF
their employer.
This idea of entertaining The hands
engaged in cigar manufacturing is not
years ago, and cuba has practiced II
for years and years. The wealthy
manufacturers of Spain having large
plantations of tobacco in various parts
Of the world hire full orchestras to
play for their workpeoplc at times
when it is, particularly necessary to get
out large orders. Several of the larg-
est manufacturing firms in Havana
today, firms which supply the Chicago
trade, have orchestras regularly en-
gagged or "readers" who take the best
bits of Spanish literature and in not
unmusical tones read them off to their
comrades. These "rcaders" are almost
invariably chosen from out of the
ranks Of the workpeople themselves,

Rev. G.. Barlow stone. member
of the faculty of Grant university. at
Athens, Tenn, and n former member
of the Wyoming conference, occupied
the pulpit at the Methodist Episcopal
church yesterday morning. He deliv-
cred very able discourse, taking his
text from Job XVI: IL, 80 these are
parts of his ways, but how little a
portion is heard of him." He spoke in
part as follows:
Jobs friend asks "Canst thou find out the
Almighty unto pcrfcctiony' And the psalmist de.
clarcs OF Gods works. ''rhcy cannot be reck.
oned up in order unto thee; IL | would declare
and speak of them they are more than can be
numbered" So, after study and contemplation
OF Gods works We may we'll cXclaiIn, "Who is
so great god as our God? Thou art the God
that docst wonders"
We seek to know God by the works Of nature
We study the plant and animal life as revealed
by the microscope. We compare the most perfect
art with the forms of nature that arc copied,
and acknowledge the superiority of nature. We
take the telescope and sail across the extent Of
space, viewing the hundred millions Of suns with
their attending worlds, and in Imagination try to
form some idea Of the life and beauty OF this
great universe. But when have carried our
Investigations to the utmost we are still led TO
cNclaim: 10! These are parts Of His ways; but
how little a portion is heard OF Him.
While "thc heavens declare the glory of God,
and the armament showeth His handiwork," more
OF God is revealed TO us in our conscience and
consciousness than in nature. "Thc natural man
reccivcth not the things OF the spirit" hut the
awakened spiritual being sees God, not alone in
His power and might, hut in lI!s infinite mercy
and loving kindness. When commune with
our own hearts, we sec and hear more OF God.
Joseph Cooke, Just deceased, said: 'ln nature
we see God as by starlight; through our own
conscience He is seen by moonlight while
through revelation in His word lie is in tull
sunlight" So, in Gods word see more and
hear more Of Him than through conscience. Here
, We learn OF the fatherhood of God, OF His infinite
love and long suffering We learn OF the prvi
| leges offered man. of the home prepared for him
| and Of the beauties and attractions Of that home
But when by searching we have found out all that
| We can comprehend, still must it be true, "Lo
| These arc parts of Ills ways; but how little por
| ion is Heard Of Him" But some day more vii
| he seem moro will he heard bv those who earn
| estly desire il. 1t is our privilege. Are We 81
| living that it will he ours to enjoy that whicl
| Is perfect when that which is in part shall b,
