THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
President Roosevelt Points Out the Bless

president Roosevelt Points Out the Bless
ings the Country Has Experienced.
Washington, Oct. 31.-The Presi-
dent today issued his annual Thanks
giving proclamation in the following
terms:
BY the President of the United
States of America.
"A PROCLAMATION"
THE season is at hand when, ac-
cording 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 unhindered by war,
famine or plague. 1t behooves us
not only to rejoice greatly because of
what has been given us, but to accept
it with a solemn sense of responsible
ity, realizing that under Heaven it
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 experiment of government of
the people, by the people, for the peo-
pie, been tried on so vast scale as
here in OIIr oU,,, cOuD+r,, in 4l,o o,,o,,
ing years of the twentieth century.
Failure 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 aud the righteousness of liber-
ty; therefore in thanking God for the
mercies extended to us in the past we
beseech Him that He may not with
hold them in the future, and that our
hearts may be reused to war stead
fastly 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 the earth in
such manner as to show that we are
not altogether unworthy of the bless
ings we have received.
Now, therefore,I, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen
eral Thanksgiving Thursday, the Goth
of the coming November, and do rec
ommend that throughout the land
people cease from their wonted occu-
patiOns, and in their several homes
and places of worship render thanks
unto Almighty God for his manifold
mercies.
I'm witness whereof, l have here
unto 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 Enine hun
dred and three, and of the indepen-
dence of the United States the one
hundred and twenty eighth.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
JOHN HAY, Secretary of State.

THE DEMOCRATIC REOR0ANIzERs.

AhE O~hHOOnAIIC
There is no reason to doubt that the
men who are e~ndeavoring to reorganize
the democratic party are very much in
earnest, but there is diversity of opinion
among them as to methods and policies
which is obstructing the movement for
reorganization. There are radicals and
cOnservatives-some who urge the COM
plete remuneration of the platforms of
1896 and 1900 and others who counsel
some sort Of compromise. There are
still others who, like Senator German,
are non-committal. One of. the leading
organs of reorganization, which is
zealously supporting Mr.. Cleveland for
the nomination next year, is the Brook
Ign Eagle, Of acknowledged ability and
no little influence, 1t represents the radi-
cal element and wants the extirpation Of
Bryan and Organism root and branch.
That paper says that ii will not be
enough to neutralize Organism, at must
be destroyed" 1T will not be enough to
modify, to moderate, or to muzzle II, Z"
declares the Eagle, lit must be shorn of
all power and Of all influence. II will
not be enough to make OF 1t an impotent.
1t must be made an outlaw. Organism
has gone through democracy and left
it bankrupt of credit. Democracy must
show, by overt acts, that II Is through
with Organism, If it would be restored
either to credit or to power" This pro-
poses an exceedingly difficult II not an
impossible task. There Is still a good
deal of vitality to Organism among
those who insist that they are the real
democrats and 1t is not to be doubted
that this will be shewn in the next ma,
tional convention. Perhaps those whc
are prepared to repudiate the platform:
and the democratic leader in the las
two presidential campaigns will contro
the national convention, but that is by
no means certain. The believers II
Organism are still numerous and the,
are fanatically loyal TO their belief. Mr.
Bryan himself rejects all suggestions o
r compromise and so far as appears Their,
is no thought among his followers o
abandoning their position. The NOR
+ ardent OF them insist that the principle

pENNSYLHANII IN LINE.

The republicans of Pennsylvania are
in line with those Of Michigan and a
number of other states in endorsing
President Roosevelt for nomination by
the republican national convention of
1904. The Ohio republican convention
action, Senator Hanna having an
nounced that he will not oppose its
doing so. It is said that his change
of intention was due to a telegram
for endorsement by the Ohio conven-
ton, but it is quite likely that Mr..
Hanna was to some extent influenced
by the fact that republican sentiment
in the Buckeye state is overwhelmingly
in favor of such action.
These endorsements will make GER
tain the nomination Of Mr.. Roosevelt,
probably by the unanimous vote of the
national convention, for it is reasonably
to be expected that the republican con-
ventions in all the other states will fall
in line. So far as now appears there
is no opposition to him anywhere that
can prevent this. 1t is a very remark
able illustration of the presidents pop
ularity, of the firm hold he has upon the
esteem and confidence of his party. His
admirable administration, signalized by
a high standard of craftsmanship and
by a constant purpose and endeavor to
conserve the interests and welfare Of
the people, has won the appreciation of
all fair-minded men.
