Des Molnes, Nov. Ex-Governor "A.
b. Cummins probably sent out the
most elaborate, and handsomest
Thanksgiving day proclamations this
year of any governor of states. Ills
proclamation was printed on heavy
rough paper with wide borders ana
cover tied on with ribbons, and the In
itial letter of the proclamation prop
er was an elaborate special design III
colors. The whole made handsome
souvenir. A copy of it signed N INK
by the governor and secretary OF state
was sent to President Roosevelt. Cop
les were sent to all the ministers OF the
gospel in the state chat they nllgnt
read the same from their pulpits. None
of the proclamations which have come
to the office of the chief executive are
printed in such handsome form. The
governor of Massachusetts, for In
stance, prints his proclamation on
big poster with type that would do
credit to a country newspaper ofhce IN
making up auction sale bills.

finely worded as the one for Iowa peo-
pie. The concluding portion OF Gov
ernor Cummins' words are especially
fine: ITO summarize 1t all, While the
goal toward which we are striving IS
yet far off, our faces are turned In the
right direction, and while much is yet
to be done, much has been done. and
we'll DONE"
Governor Odell, of New York, in his
proclamation, says: ITO the progress
of our nation our citizens have con-
tributed, and In its prosperity they
have shared Our harvests have been
abundant; labor has been remunerat-
lively employed; our commerce has in
creased; and in every direction our
people have cause for rejoicing"
Governor La1'ollette, of Wisconsin,
says: Deeply rooted in the best life
of all nations, the citizenship of this
commonwealth, year by year, advance
es our free institutions and strength
ems the foundations Of our statehood"
Governor Van SAINT, of Minnesota,
says: "Our country is at peace. AS a.
state we have been greatly favored
has been materially advanced. We.
have been blessed with bounteoua
crops. We are happy, contented and.
prosperous people,"
Governor Bliss, of Michigan, says:
"No one is too rich and no one too poor
to soberly and seriously give heed to
the lessons of Thanksgiving day. IT.
has much for him who has waxed
strong in health and something for him
who has known sickness and suffer-
ing; the one that the favor has been
shown, the other that conditions have
been no worse"
Governor Bates, Of Massachusetts,
says: May all the people join in
praise for the abundance Of the har-
vests reaped from our varied fields OF
industry; for the conditions of peace
that fill the land; for the goodwill
that binds us to other people: ard for
the strength, courage, and disposition
that makes the nation of which we are
part power for good in the world"
Governor Mickey, Of Nebraska, says:
"The recurring season reminds us of
the bountiful harvests garnered, of
general prosperity, of freedom from
pestilence, of contentment, and happi-
ness around every hearthstone, and Of
peace at home and abroad"
Governor vardaman, of Mississippi.
says: Material prosperity prevails
thruout the length and breadth of our
commonwealth, the seasons have been
propitious and most bounteously has

of the honest husbandman. In all the
walks Of life, among all classes Of our
people IL every department of COM
merce and trade, there is an air Of
thrift, an expression Of satisfaction
produced by the consciousness of plen-
ty. While the real greatness Of q
state or a people is not determined by
the measure of material riches - full
bins and boarded gold-but rather by
the intellectual and moral qualities Of
it's men and women, yet material rich
es are an essential element in the pro-
cess of development of the perfect
man. The exaltation of the ideal
the reaching up after the perfect-un-
failing courage of conviction, and a
steadfast purpose to do right. are the
splendid fruits of the highest civili-
zation."
The supreme court yesterday, con-
Guiding the September term, third
period, reversed one criminal case on
peculiar grounds. On DR.. Rea had
been fined in Emmett county for prac-
ticing as an itinerant without IL
cense. 1t appears that he had waived
a Jury and the case went to the court
on question of fact The supreme
court. altho no arguments were made
on either side, ordered a new trial on
the ground that jury trial may not
be waived in criminal case.
