SETS DAY TO-
GIVE THANKS
President Roosevelt Issues His Annual
Proclamation.
IS SOMEWHAT PESSIMISTIc
Chief Executive Seems to Fear That Our
Form of Government is in Danger Of
Collapse, Against Which He Warns
The People.

Washington--The President has
issued his annual Thanksgiving proc
lamation IN the following terms:
"The season is at hand when, ac-
cording to the custom Of our people,
il falls on the president to appoint a
day of praise and thanksgiving to
God. During the last year the Lord
has dealt bountifnlly with US. giving
US peace at home and abroad and the
chance for 9dr citizens to work for
their welfare unhindered by war,
famine or plague. It behooves ua not
only to rejoice greatly because Of what
has been given as but to accept it with
. solemn sense OF responsibility, real
izing that under heaven 1t rests with
Us ourselves to show that Ne are
worthy to use Alright what has thus
been entrusted to our care. In no
other place and at no other time has
the experiment Of government of the
people, by the people and for the
people, been tried on 50 vast scale
as here in our own country in the
opening years of the Goth century.
FaiIure would not only be dreadful
thing for US. but dreadful thing for
all mankind because it would mean
loss of hope for all who believe
in the power and the righteousness
OF liberty. Therefore, in thank
ing God for the mercies extended to
us in the past, we beseech Him that
be may not withhold them in the fut-
ure and that our hearts may be reused
to war steadfastly for good and
against all the forces of evil, public
and private. We pray for strength
and light so that in the coming years
we may with cleanliness, fearlessness
and wisdom do our allotted work on
tAt onA VA Al cuCu LAuuuSE do W cAOW
that we are not altogether unworthy
OF the blessings we have received.
"Now. therefore, /, Theodore Roose-
velt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as day of gen.
eral thanksgiving, Thursday, the
twenty y-sixth Of the coming November
and do recommend that throughout the
land people cease from their wonted
occupations. and in their several
places of worship render thanks uuto
Almighty God for his manifold
mercies. In witness thereof, have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington,
this 31st day of October in the year of
our Lord, one thousand, nine hund-
red and three, and of the independ-
ence of the United States the one
hundred and twenty y-eighth. (Signed)
by the President and Secretary of

ment: our object are to do away
with the contract system In the trade,
to bring about uniform system of
wages and hours of labor, to fight for
the substitution of electricity and
steam power for footwork with sew
ing machines. and to bring about other
reforms. This is the biggest move-
ment in the trade yet undertaken.
Strikes will not necessarily be orr
weapons In the fight il we can accom-
plish the reforms by peaceful agita-
tion.''
Headquarters will be established in
this city.

REDMOND GIVES A FRIENDLY WARNING
J GOING TO CHILE.
Astronomical Expedition to Make OBJ
servations.

{ ~ $t
Berkeley, Cal, Feb 25.-IThe D. O..
Mills astronomical expedition to the
southern hemisphere. after two years
of preparatory work, will sail from
San Francisco for Chile next Saturday.
The observations will be conducted by
University of California astronomers,
headed by William H. Wright Of the
Lick observatory. Owing to an in
jury recently received Director Camp
bell will be unable to go with the par
ty, which expects to remain at least
two years. The mission Of the expe-
dition is to throw additional light on
the motion of the solar system through
space. Since 1895 the line Of sight
velocities of some four hundred of the
brightest stars have been measured at
the Lick observatory by means of the
spectograph presented hv ID. 0. Mills.
The results SO far obtained indicate
that the solar system is moving APP
proximately toward the southern part
Of the constellation of the Lyre with a
speed of 1914 miles a second. This,
however, cannot be considered conclu-
sive, for the stars of the southern hemi-
sphere are not presented in the calcu-
lations and for the purpose Of observ-
ing them the Mills expedition is being
sent to Santiago, Chile. The spectre
scopic photographs obtained by the
party will be sent to the Lick observa-
tory for measurement and comparison.
All the expenses will be borne by d.
O. Mills of New York.

Plenty OF Time for Those Who Would

Plenty Of Time for Those Who Would
Work Well
Chicago, Feb 25.-ssDo not hurry. For
those who want to work well there is
time. They may disregard the hustle
and hustle and should place thorough
ness above speed"
This was one Of the points made by
Senator Hoar in an address delivered
at Armour institute of technology. The
senator continued: Remember that
there is something more to live for
than money. You may devote your
self to the practical arts, but remem-
Der that there is something nobler in
human life. A man may be ever SO
rich and ever so skillful, but he does
i'll who forgets tastes and affection.
Read Wordsworth, Emerson or Milton
and you will have added to your knowl-
edge of the practical arts the inspira-
tion that helps to develop the spiritual
side. Never put your name to any
business contract unless it is a GER
tiflcate of excellence that Is true and
thorough"
President Charles w. Eliot spoke of
the value Of training mind through

might be regarded as pre-eminent
among the learned professions for the

The strikers executive committee is
sued the following statement this at
ternoon:
This is the forty sixth day of our
strike, and, as promised yesterday, we
have some interesting news to present
to the public.
About ten days ago a couple of gem
tlemen, whose names we do not feel
that we have authority to make pub
lie, held conference with our execu-
tive committee. The gentlemen re-
ferred to are prominent members of
the Business Mems association of this
city.
after lengthy discussion of the
strike situation, during which these
gentlemen requested us to seriously
consider the position that the general
public had been placed in by the strike,
and to use our utmost endeavors to
have our men concede something for
the public's sake, we agreed to give
these gentlemen a proposition to pre-
sent to the trolley company, on which
proposition the strike could be CON
cluded inside Of tWenty-four hours. We
kept our word and after difficult job,
we submitted the following proposition
to the business mems representatives.
After waiting about ten days for an
answer we, yesterday, received the
company's reply. which we also give
herewith. The paragraphs numbered
n to Z, inclusive were our conditions
and the paragraphs enclosed in brack.
cts are the company's, finding In each
case
II. That the company will at al
times receive committee of three rep
resenting the employees to settle any
disputes that may from time to time
arise between the company and said
employees.

has been ready to receive a committee

Gyen--This is the FotySixth Day Of Strike

for snow plow work and not less than
20 cents per hour for. barn work. These
are the same rates now asked for
again in this proposition.)
s. That all men shall have their re-
spective places in their line Of work
on list In accordance with their length
Of service.
Ut has always been the rule of the
company that men in it's employment
should have their RESPECTIVE places
in the manner herein asked for. The
company is now and always has been
ready to continue this custom)
6. That all men failing to report at
barn in morning to take out their cars
shall report for duty at central Office
at $50 a. m. and 2:06 p. m, to be paid
only for work done.
cThe officers OF the company do not
understand the meaning and object Of
this proposition. 1t would seem to
be subject to be discussed between
them and such a committee as Is ask
ed for in the first proposition.)
Z. That all men now on strike shall
be re-instated in q body.
This proposition cannot be enter
tanned in any form. The company has
already stated that it will receive at
once about % of its former employees,
and as many more hereafter as
places can be found for from
time to time)
",This Is the result of another effort
to settle the strike and we submit to
the public If our offer was not more
than fair one, and il it Is not about
time the public got after this alien troll
ley corporation and made it get off its
high horse. AS far as we are con.
cerned now, future overtures will have
to come from the trolley company. as
we are tired submitting propositions
only to have them turned down"
