LIBRARY FOR
WINNEMUCCA
The Movement Has Been Un-
der Way for Some Time
Success Is Assured

1t will be pleasing to the enter
prising, progressive people of Winnie
mucca to know that a movement is
now on foot for the erection equip
ping, and maintaining a public library
That there is great need for a
public library no one can deny and
the untold benefits to be derived from
such an institution cannot be overes-
timated.
The plan as now drawn up calls for
three library rooms, reading room,
gymnasium, and swimming pool.
While the library will not be as
pretentious as some of the large city
Libraries yet it will be sufficiently
large and thoroughly equipped for the
needs of our little city.
The library when completed, will
be under the control of the board of
school trustees Of Winnemucca.
Both by tradition and statute the
Institution in our state as in most
states, designed for the training Of
persons up to the age of fifteen, is
the public school in its grade depart
ment. A favored few are further
trained by the high school, and a
remnant of these enter advanced in
stitutions. 1t is evident that in every
community the great mass of people
beyond the age of fifteen are to re-
ceive general and technical training
through self-effort if they receive ii
at all. The public library is to be
their school 1t is to give its energy
and sympathy in the fullest measure
to their advancement. Here must
come the clerk, the mechanic, the
day laborer, the farmer, the business
man, the housewife the errand boy
all these to free themselves from their
present limitations. Over the library
entraee might be properly written,
mere is the door of hope for the
masses who feel their limitations and
wish to be free"
The plan adopted for obtaining the
library, who are interested in the
movement, what has been done and
what will be done will be given in
an article in tomorrow's Silver State.

DAY SET BY
PRESIDENT
Officially Designates thurs
day, November 10th as
Day for Tn anksgiving

The president has issued his annual
Thanksgiving proclamation in the fol-
lowing 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. Dur
ing 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 well
fare unhindered by war, famine or
plague.
1T behooves us not only to rejoice
greatly because of what has been CIV
en- us, but to accept it with a solemn
sense of responsibility, realizing that
under heaven it rests with 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 peo-
pie and for the people been tried on
so vast a scale as here in our own
country in the opening years of the
twentieth century. Failure would not
only be a dreadful thing for us, but
dreadful thing for all mankind, be-
cause it would mean loss of hope for
all who believe in the power and the
righteousness OF liberty.
Therefore, in thanking God for
the mercies extended to us in the past
we beseech Him that He may not
withhold them in the future, and that
our hearts may be aroused to war
steadfastly for good and against all
forces of evil public and private.
I'VE pray for strength and light, so
that in the coming years we may with
cleanliness, fearlessness and wisdom
do our allotted work on earth in such
manner as to show that we are not
altogether unworthy of the blessings
we have received.
Now, therefore l, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States.
do hereby designate as a day of gen.
eral thanksgiving Thursday, the
Goth day of the coming November;
and do recommend that throughout
the land people cease from their won't
ed occupations, and in their several
homes and places of worship render
thanks unto Almighty God for His
manifold mercies.
"In witness whereof l have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
the 31st day of October, in the year
of Our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and three, and of the indepen-
dence of the United States, the one
hundred and twenty-eight."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
by the President:
John Hay, Secretary of State"
