A CALL TO GIVE THANKS.
President Roosevelt Isses Thanks
giving Day Proclamation
November FL the Day.

Washington, Oct. 30.-President
Roosevelt Wednesday issued his proc
lamation designating Thursday, No
vember 27, as day of Thanksgiving.
The proclamation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint day of fes-
tival and thanksgiving to God.
"Over a century and quarter has
passed since this country took it's
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 it's Pc
culiar burdens, each to face it's spe-
cial crisis, and each has known years
of grim trial, when the country was
menaced by malice domestic or for
eign levy, when the hand of the Lord
was heavy upon it in drought or food
or pestilence, when in bodily distress
and anguish of soul it paid the penalty
of folly and a froward heart. Never
theless, decade by decade, we have
struggled onward and upward; we
now abundantly enjoy material we'll
being, and under the favor of the
Most High we are striving earnestly
to achieve moral and spiritual uplift-
ing. The year that has just closed has
been one of peace and of overfiowi1g
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.
Snow, therefore, !, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as day of gen.
eral thanksgiving Thursday, the
twenty-seventh of the coming Novem-
Der, and do recommend that through
out the land the people cease from
their ordinary occupations, and in
their several homes and places of wor-
ship render thanks unto Almighty
God for the manifold blessings of the.
past year.
Gin 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 Washington
this Goth day of October, in the year
of Our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and two and of the Indepen-
dence of the United States the one
hundred and twenty-seventh.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Report OF the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General.

Washington, Oct. 3o.-A total of
1870 presidential postmasters were
appointed last year, according to the
annual report of j. L. Bristow, fourth
assistant postmaster general, issued
Wednesday. This is the largest num-
Der appointed in any one year in the
history of the postal service. The in
crease was due mainly to the expira-
ton of commissions during the year
and the advance of many fourth-class
Offices to the presidential grade. The
total number of appointments of post
masters of all classes was 1870, an
increase of 1913. There was slight
increase in the number of removals
of postmasters "for cause" as a re-
suit of a more strict discipline for
carelessness and Irregularities. There
were 3,05S post offices established and
4,059 discontinued, the latter attrib-
utable mostly to the extension of the
rural free delivery service and the
consolidation of post offices adjacent
to large presidential offices. The
number of post offices in the United
States June 80, was 1924, of which
220 were first class, 1923 second class,
3,4Ss third class and 71,193 fourth
class.
The report shows that burglaries
of post offices and the frobberies of
mail boxes are on the increase. Ar
rests and convictions for all offenses
have materially increased. There were
1,746 robberies of post offices, II rob-
berries of mail trains, 16 of mail mes
sengers, star route carriers and wag-
ons, and 465 of letter boxes. Of the
total of 1,721 persons arrested for vio-
lating postal laws, 304 were connect
ed with the postal service, including
112 postmasters.
The administration of postal affairs
in Cuba is commended as economical
and efficient. The total revenues of
the service in Cuba from the begin
ming of the last fiscal year to May
10, when the island was turned over
. to the new Cuban government, were
$335,916, and the expenditures S372,-
574. Compared with the previous fs-
cal year, the revenues increased al
most $4,000, and the expenditures de-
creased over $4,000, the decrease in
the deficit being over so per cent.
