Roosevelt and Governor Hill calling
upon our people to join in the observ-
ance of Thanksgiving day. the autumn
festival established by the God-fearing
men of plymouth, honored by our faith

spirit and influence have gone. The
institution of Thanksgiving needs no
defence or explanation. 1t was born
with civilization in New England and
it's perpetuation is as certain as the
future of our republic. We hope all will
read with care these proclamations and
follow as duty and privilege the
recommendations they make, abstain

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov. pa number of indus
trial stocks suffered wide breaches in
their valuations again, today, in contin-
uation of the process which was so con-
sricuous in yesterdays dealings. Some of
the weaker stocks then were acutely at
fected today, while new ones Were
brought into the movement. There was
little in the way of specific news to ac-
count for the declines and those concern
ing which there was news We're not the
most acutely affected. News of the shut
ting down of mills to work off supplies
hurt International Paper Fluctuations in
Colorado Fuel seemed to represent vary
ing views of the provision made for the
capital needs by sale of coal and iron
lands of the company. The only news ac-
complaining the break of over nine points
in Railway Steel Spring preferred was the
application to the Stock Exchange to list
additional stock, which contained no sur
prise for those cOnversant with the COM
pany's affairs. The special movement in
Southern Railway was without eXplana-
ton The late recovery in the market
wiped out all the principal losses and es-
tablished some fair gains in the Indus
trials. Sterling exchange made another
wide drop in spite of the queter tone of
the local money market and rumors of
large additional engagements of gold for
import were thus made plausible, al
though no definite information could be
obtained of such engagements. The bond

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
President Roosevelt Cesi9nates Thurs.
day, November 26.
Secretary of State.

The President has issued his annual
Thanksgiving proclamation in the follow
ing terms:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
The season is at hand when, according
to the custom of our people, it falls upon
the President to appoint a day of praise
and thanksgiving to God.
During the last year the Lord has dealt
bountifully with us. giving us peace at
home and abroad and the chance for our
citizens to work for their welfare unhin-
dered by war, famine or plague. 1t be-
hooveS us not only to rejoice greatly be-
cause Of what has been given us, but to
accept it with a solemn sense of reSpon-
shility. realizing that under heaven 1t
rests with us ourselves to show that We
are worthy to use Alright what has thus
been entrusted to our care. In no other
place and at no other time has the ex-
pertinent of government of the people. by
the people, for the people. been tried on
so vast q scale rs here in our own country
in the opening years of the twentieth CEN
tury. Failure would not only be a dread
full thing for us. but II dreadful thing for
all mankind, because it would mean loss
of hope for all who believe in the power
and the righteousness of liberty There
fore. in thanking God for the mercies ex-
tended to us in the past; We beseech Him
future. 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 cleanli'
ness, feareSsneSs and wisdom, do ouI
allotted work on the earth in such man
ner as to show that we are not altogether
unworthy of the blessings we have re-
ceivcd.
Now. therefore. Theodore Roosevelt
President of the United States. do hereby
designate as a day OF general Thankseiv-
ing. Thursday. the 26th of the coming No
vemhcr, and do recommend that through
out the land the people cease from theil
wonted upations. and in their severa
homes and places of worship render
thanks unto Almighty God for His mani
fold mercies
In witness whereof 1 have hereunto sci
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington. this
3lst day OF October in the year of oul
Lord one thousand nine hundred anG

Thanksgiving Day.
SIS glories of the day

The cloudless glories of the day
Are hidden in the night
AS earth whirls round it's central sun
And gloom uSurpS the light.
It's well for those who early learn
That change is ever rife
In all that goes to make the tale
And sum of human life.
Then all the more-since that which is,
So soon no more shall be.
And Time, the neverhaltng stream,
Flows onward to the sea
We should be wise as are the blooms
In field and garden cast
That open up their hearts to share
The SunbeamS while they last.
Each soul, a world within itself,
Is bound by fate to bear
Some dreary waste that Sorrows storms
Have brought with ruin there.
Still thro' its wilds are cases
Within whose verdant lands
We rest. and half forget the toll
And journey of the sands.
Then songs of deepest gratitude
With ardOr swell the breast
AS dreams come up Of old good-byeS
And hands in friendship pressed.
In such a place. and at such time,
Who love. remember, pray,
They feel the worth and beauty of
The true THANKSGIVING Day.
Be glad for all the countless flocks
And bOundleSS stores of grain;
For wealth that turns on iron wheels
And ships that plough the main.
'1is we'll to breathe of Freedoms air,
Where no mans voice or hand
Dare speak or move, unWarranted,
In gesture of command
A sense of pride. too. comes to us,
TO see our cities rise,
With mighty domes that grow until
They seem to touch the Shes
To note how industry and art
With learnings grace expand.
While smiles of circling plenty blend
Their sunshine thro the land.
But that's not all it may be least
There's riches of the heart.
Here stock and mete- wand, silver, gold
Have neither worth nor part.
Perhaps a place that's filled no more
One missing by the way
Yet comes from it the sweetest note
In the anthem of the day.
So when. the garish light gone down,
We meet at eVentide,
And talk of those who walked so long
And faithful by our side;
Or can up faces. memory-veiled-
Long buried with the years.
And love demands with silent lips
The tribute of our tears
The heart o'erflows with thankfulness-
Thanks for the blessings shed
| On Ages bent but patient brow;
On Youths care-uncrowned head;
| Thanks for the circle that is left;
Thanks for the golden bond
| OF Faith, that links us thro' the TOMB
| With those that are beyond.

Next Years Exposition.

The report of the president of the
national commission of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition gives a good idea
of the magnitude of that undertaking
and goes into detail in a way more con-
vincing than the lurid generalities OF
the press agent. AS ST. Louis is in q
lower latitude than any of those cities
which have had the great exposition OF
the past, the fair will be open for a
longer period, namely, from April 80 to
December l, and those who have had
experience with st. Louis in midsummer
will probably attend in the spring OF
fall. The report finds it impossible not
to make comparisons, and points out
that the fair grounds cover 1910 acres,
while those of the Chicago exposition
covered only 500 acres; those of the
Paris exposition only 336 acres; those
of the Pan American exposition at
at Philadelphia in 1876 only 236 acres;
and everything else will be on about
the same scale and proportion.
1t will be the greatest fair which the
world has ever known, and will set a
mark. which is not likely to be sur
passed by any similar attempt in our
time. According to the report the
work of preparation is we'll advanced
with many exhibits already on the
grounds, including some from abroad
1t expresses no doubt that the EXPOSE
ton will be ready to open at the time
announced, and proceed from that time
under full steam to the finish. Since
ST. Louis is the smallest city in which
a great Worlds fair has ever been
held, the commission takes special
pains 10 give assurance that there will
be ample accommodation for visitors
They announce that there VIII be room
ing accommodations for 100000 people
number which it is hardly expected
will be present from outside the city al
any one time. Now that the prelimi-
nary work has been thoroughly done
and there is no question that st. Louis
has the attractions, every effort will be
made from now to let the world know
about them, and to draw the great
crowds that will prevent the great
Snow from being too much of d finan-
cial failure.

Captain Hobson's lecture is the es-
sence of robust, wholesome Ameri-
canism, and we wish every American
citizen could hear it and then think it
over and listen to 1t again. If he
comes this way again another packed
house will greet him and the people
will not come, as many did this time,
merely to see the much talked about
young man who sunk the Merrimac,
but rather to hear a man who has
something to say and says it well.
If this country is going to have a
Democratic President in the next
third of a century we nominate
Captain Hobson for the position. OF
course. he is a Democrat only in name,
for the doctrine he preached In this
city. the other night would pass in
this section of the country as unadul-
terated Republicanism. If he lived in
the North, rather than in Alabama,
he would be running for Congress as
a Republican rather than a Democrat.
He is like a great many of the men
who keep the South solid for the
Democracy. Inherited prejudice, en-
vironment and the race issue keep
them Democrats in name, though
they really believe in the principles
and policies of the Republican party.
