Men and women in the lobby of the

Just as he reached the stairs another

AS to the motive for the Thanksgiving
festivals, it depends somewhat upon the
point of view. For example, when Cen
eral Washington announced the first
national Thanksgiving in recognition OF
a return of peace after victories over
the British and the adoption of o con.
stitution for the United States in 1859,
1t Is quite likely that a certain king
across the water, or, to be exact, George
III, was not enthused with the idea.
A proclamation of Thanksgiving was
issued by President Madison in 1915, at
the close of our second war with Great
Britain, but it was not until Honest
Abe" was in the presidential chair, in
1864, that the festivity took On a really
national cast and was universally
adopted as a legal holiday throughout
he length and breadth Of the Union,
Tor quite a generation of time, now, thu

Secretary Of State Sam B. Cook Dis
cusses Alum Inquiry and St. Louis
Bribery Investigation.
Mexico, Mo-. May 7.+Secretary OF
State Sam B. Cook is here from JET
ierson City tonight for the purpose
Of attending the Hardin college
alumni banquet, at which he will re-
spond to a toast.
When asked as to the probable ei-
iect OF the recent Doodle investigation
10 this state, Mr.. Cook said that the
result, as a whole, is bound to be
beneficial to the public, both In st.
Louis and the state.
THE effect" said Mr.. Cook, so far
as the state is concerned, will be to
efectually stamp out boodling in the
Legislature.
What the effect will be in st. Louis
is not so clear. Ii is a tremendous
task to rid a great city Of municipal
corruption.
i The result OF the whole, however, is
bound to be beneficial to the public,
in both state and city.
A feature OF the prosecution which
would be amusing, if the conditions
were not so grave, is the attitude OF
the republican partisan newspapers,
To read the Globe Democrat, those
not familiar with the facts would
naturally suppose that all the hood,
lers were democrats, and that the
republican party was, and has been
Tor years, making desperate efforts
to save the state from ruin.
The truth is the corruption in St
Louis was committed under Ziegen
helm administration, which the people
of that city drove from power two
years ago.
The administration OF Mayor Wells
has not been implicated, in the least,
in these offenses.
| At Jefferson City the grand jury
composed Of both republicans and
democrats returned four indictments
against state senator's, and three are
republicans.
When Mr.. Folk begun the boodlinq
prosecution, the Globe-Democrat de
clared it a partisan persecution, anc
endeavored to discredit the efforts o
the circuit attorney.
The democratic party, through it,
chosen officers, is making an homes
effort to rid the state OF boodling
the republican party through it
newspapers, is making a dishones
effort to evade responsibility for it
own boodlers."
