THANKSGIVING NOVEMBER 81
Presidet Roosevelt Issues the Annual
Proclamation.

According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the President
at this season to appoint day of festi-
val and thanksgiving to God.
Over a century and a quarter has
passed since this country took its place
among the nations of the earth, and
during that time we have had, on the
whole, more to be thankful for than has
fallen to the lot of any other people.
Generation after generation has grown
to manhood and passed away. Each has
had to bear its peculiar burdens each to
face its special crises. and each has
known years of grim trial, when the
country was menaced by malace domes-
tic or foreign levy, when the hand of
the Lord was heavy upon it in drought
or flood or pestilence, when in bodily
distress and anguish of soul it paid the
penalty and froward heart Neverthe-
less, decade by decade, we have strug-
gled onward and upward. We now
abundantly enjoy material well being,
and under the favor of the most high
we are striving earnestly to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting, The year
that has just closed has been one of
peace and of overlooking plenty. Rarely
has any people enjoyed greater prosper
ity than we are now enjoying. For this
we render heartfelt and solemn thanks
to the giver of good, and we seek to
praise Him, not by words only, but by
deeds-by the way in which we do our
duty to ourselves and to our fellow men.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, President Of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving Thursday, the 9th of No
vember, and do recommend that thro'-
out the land the people cease from their
ordinary occupations, and in their sew
eral homes and places of worship render
thanks to Almighty God for The mani
fold blessings of the last year.
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
goth day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
two, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
twenty-seventh.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

There hasn't been anything very
slow about the legislature the past
week, for business has been hustled
from the desks of the members into
the committees hands, thence back
to the Speakers desk and from there
well, to either the statute book or
the waste basket, according to the
apparent public demand. By We'd
nesday morning the legislators had
recovered from the strenuous festivi-
ties of the week previous and struck
a rapid pace. Up to adjournment
on Saturday last, 26O bills had been
introduced in the House and a cor
respondingly large batch of them in
the Senate. Much of the week s

ent law touching the State Board of
Health; for cooperative fire insur-
ance companies; preventing a weak
minded citizen from assisting in mark
ing ballots; removing the square in
which the straight ticket is marked
on the regular ballot; to prevent the
adulteration of milk; safeguarding
savings banks loans and invest
ments; regulating the sale of fertil-
izers and feed stuffs; preventing
publishers from recovering for pa pers
sent after subscription term has ex-
pired; a valued insurance policy act
full compensation for teachers at
tending state institutes, ETC.; fine for
selling brook trout; for commitment
of delinquent taxpayers; allowing
Listers to add names of taxpayers
inadvertently omitted; defining con
spiracy" and doing away with re-.
straining orders and injunctions in
certain cases; repeating the law re-,
garding blasphemy; exempting veto
Grams of Civil War from poll tax;
relief for several other towns on ac-
count of flood damage; requiring.
physicians to report promptly CASEY
of contagious diseases; electing Sci
lectmen for three-year periods; MAXI
ing County Exa miner elective instead
of appointive; providing for deduc-
lions in certain cases by Listers in
connection with personal property
appraisals; appropriating $4,000
for improvements at Waterbury Asy-
lum and Brattleooro Retreat; estab-
fishing an insurance department; to
prevent sale of impure dairy products
and meat. "a
