In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth, then the edi-
tor, and then the liberal advertiser
and the prompt paying subscriber
which was all very good. The next
day it showed. and he created the
man who does not believe in adver-
tising, another who does not take the
home paper-then he rested. Then
the Devil got into the mouldingroom
and created the man who takes the
paper for years and fails to pay for
it. After hehad completed that sorry
job, and having a few Jumps left, he
created the excuse of q man who set

Special 20 the Evening Journal.

Dover. Oct. S0.-The Supreme Court,
all the judges sitting. decided today a
vital point concerning the election law.
Attorneys Henry Ridgely, Jr., and Ar

Gratis, made application to ascertain
what was meant by the expression,

The law indicated that three strokes
of pencil were necessary.
The Supreme Court decided that the
proposition by should be inserted
before word crossing" That two
strokes Of pencil only will be neces-
sary. the mark required being a letter

mark slightly resembling the letter
H, as some supposed.

THE PRESIDENT
ISSUES MESSAGE
Sets Aside November 27 As a
Day for Thanksgiving and
Prayer
MUCH TO Be GRATEFUL FOR

Washington, Oct. 80. - President
Roosevelt yesterday issued his procla-
nation designating Thursday, Novem-
ber q, as a 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 a day Of fes-
tivities 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 Deo-
pie. Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away.
Each has had to bear its peculiar bur
dens, each to face its special crisis,
and each has known years Of grim trial
when the country was menaced by
malice domestic 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 of folly and a
forward heart. Nevertheless, decade
by decade, we have struggled onward
and upward; we now abundantly enjoy
material well-being, and under the IA
vor of the Most High we are striving
earnestly to achieve moral and spirit
ual uplifting.
"The year that has just closed has
been one Of peace and of overaowing
plenty. Rarely has any people enjoyed
greater prosperity than we are now
enjoying. For this we render heart
felt 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, /, Theodore Roose'
velt. president of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving Thursday, the twenty
seventh of the coming November, and
do recommend that throughout tho
land the people cease from their ordi-
nary occupations, and in their several
homes and places of worship render
thanks unto Almighty God for the
manifold blessings of the past year.
IN witness whereof I have hereuntc
set my hand and seal Of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington thi'
29th day of October, in the year Of oul
Lord 1902. and Of the independence oi
the United States the one hundred anC
twenty seventh.
