By the President of the United
States of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
According to the yearly custom
of our people, it falls upon the Presi-
dent at this season to appoint a day
of festival and thanksgiving to God.
Over 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 anv
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. malice, do
mestic or foreign levy, when the
hand of the Lord was heavy upon it
in drouth or flood or pestilence,
when in bodily distress and anguish
of soul it paid the penalty of folly and
a forward heart. Nevertheless, dec,
ade by decade, we have struggled
onward and upward; we now abund-
antly en- JOY material we'll 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 overfowing
plenty. Rarely has any people en-
joyed greater prosperity 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, I, Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States, do hereby designate as day
of general thanksgiving Thursday,
the twenty-seventh of the coming
November, and do recommend that
throughout the land the people cease
from their ordinary occupations, and
in their several homes and places of
worship render thanks unto AL
mighty God for the manifold bless
ings OF the past year.
In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Wash
ington, this 2oth day of
October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine
| lSeal. hundred and two, and of
the Independence of the
United States, the one
hundred and twenfy-sev-
enth.

Feeling in Congress.

There are many questions relating to the
details of the report Of the Attorney Gen
eral that Congress VIII want to be made
familiar with. 1t is not likely that there

al action Is concerned, but 1t Is quite likely
that itmay evoke criticism. unlessitis shown
that the title can be perfected in every re-

able that any considerable claims will be
filed against the United States on account
of the company whose property it II to take

1t strikes US that the prosecuting

The signs of the times as seen by
the Walla Walla Statesman, which pre-
diets that Francis w. Cushman will be
Frinked by the Levites in Walla Walla
county and the other counties of the
state will absolutely fail The friends
of Levi Ankney are not going to cut
Cushman even though he was nomin-
ated contrary to their wishes and ex-
pectatiOns. We admit that two years
ago Mr.. Frink was knitted by the Re
publicans, but such a thing will not
be done again soon in the state of
Washington. The Republicans are
truly sore over what they did in 1900
and they will repair the wrong if such
can be done by voting in overwhelm-
ing numbers for the party nominees
for the next few years to come.

1t begins to look as if Uncle Sam

interests there and only last Tuesday
Colombian soldiers were compelled to

What does the Island County Times

much difference between the two from
a political standpoint as day and night;
the latter as usual advocating theories,
hypothesis, visions and dreams, while
the former reiterated and rehabili-
tated the general prosperity that pre-
walls all over the country at present,
and promised to keep it up, and that
was the real difference between the
two conventions

Much is being said about tariff re-
vision just now, and, strange to say,
it is being said by Republicans in
stead of Democrats. It seems to us
that Republicans would get tired of
making issues for Democrats and leave
them to make their own issues. Gov
ernOr Mcbride made a Democratic is
sue in this state and now Speaker
Henderson and other Republicans are
making an issue for the Democrats of
this country by reviving the old tariff
nuisance.

Bryan Suggestion.

Both Bate and McMlllin have seen
as much of public life. and have filled
their stations therein as had either Mr..
Polk, Mr.. johnson, Mr.. Mckinley, or
almost any other man who has been
elected President They have seen
much more OF public life than many
who have been President. Carmack
has seen as much, or more, of public
life certainly more of legislative eI-
perience-as ever the present occupant
of the White House has seen and the
beauty about it is that the natural
gait of none of them is running away.
It is true that Ned goes at pretty
rapid gait sometimes. but he keeps right
in the center of the pike, never upsets
the vehicle nor even SHES at traction
engines or chlldren's corn-stalk and
board play houses built along the side
of the road. In short. while he is
rapid traveller, be is safe one, and
will get you there quick and in good
shape. In real truth we feel that a
great and deserved compliment has
been paid to five distinguished Tennes-
scans. But there are very many other
men in different States that would be
good Presidential timber. Bailey or
Culberson, of Texas Bacon, of Georg-
ia Stone or Dockery, Of Missouri, are
suggested as additional material to
that already mentioned by Mr.. Bryan.

ity without going into the camp of the
