In pursuance of custom and law and
having due regard for the dependence
of man upon God, l do proclaim as
Thanksgiving day, Thursday, Novem-
Der "a. 1904
On this day all lines of demarkation
should disappear in a general feeling
of thankfulness because of the blessings
that are ours. No one is too rich and
no one too poor to soberly and serious
ly give heed to the lessons of Thanks
giving day. 1t has much for him who
has waxed strong in health and some
thing for him who has known sickness
and suffering, the one that favor has
been shown, the other that conditions
have been no worse. 1t is day for the
individual, when he shall take measure
for himself of the advantages that are
his. and render of appreciation accord
ingly. 1t is not day of boasting but
of thanksgiving, and every heart will be
warmed and cheered if all of the obser-
vances of the day are conducted in this
spirit.
l call upon the homes, the churches
and the schools of Michigan to unite in
making the holiday as notable as the
unbounded prosperity of the state, and
the multiplied advantages bestowed
without stint upon the people. May
charity walk hand in hand with thanks
giving.

Down While on Duty.
PRIVATE DETECTIVE WOUNDED

While Being Pursued-Both Escaped

-.

Detroit, Mich. Nov. 1S.-A police
man killed and private detective
MORALLY wounded is the murderous
record which now stands against an
unknown colored man as the result of
a terrible shooting ARRAY which oc-
Cured in this city last night.
The dead: John Daley, patrolman
of the Detroit police force.
Mortally wounded: Herbert H..
Plckell, private detective, in the en-
ploy of the Michigan Central railroad.
Near the hour Of II last night Pa
trolman Daley, while on duty, entered
on Michigan avenue and near the cor
ner Of Wayne street on his usual
round of inspection. The fact that
Policeman Daley was Instantly killed
limits the police officials in informa-
ton as to whom he discovered or what
they were doing. Men employed at
the Wayne street station of the De-
troit Still Alarm, which stands near
the corner of the alley, however, were
suddenly startled by the sound Of a
pistol and the shouting Of Patrolman
Daley for help, calling out that he
had been shot.
Shot at Him Twice.
e. G. Schroeder, one of the drivers
for the Still Alarm, rushed out of the
station in the direction of the noise
and just in time to see two men, one
of them colored, pass him on the dead
run. Schroeder Immediately took after
the men, the negro as soon as they
left the alley turning and firing twice
at him.
Others by this time had heard the
commotion, and Herbert Pickell, a de-
tective employed by the Michigan Gen.
tIal railroad. who happened in the vi
entity, reached the spot just in time
to join in the pursuit.
The fleeing men separated, one
turning to the left and heading toward
Lafayette avenue, while the colored
man continued across the street and
.nto the alley, going in q westerly di.
rection. Pickell took after him.
Shot His Pursuer.
Pickell proved the speedler man and
was soon upon his anita gonist, when
suddenly the fellow turned about, ex-
claimed "Wait a minute" and as
Pickell slackened his pace he whipped
cut pistol and shot him down, the
ball passing into his abdomen and out
through the back. The fleeing man
then continued up the alley, turned
onto Third street and was lost to view.
Schroeder after being shot at re-
turned to search for Patrolman Daley
and found him short distance up the
alley, but life was extinct, having been
shot through the heart.
Pickell was Immediately removed to
Harper hospital, where he now lies,
though the attending physicians be-
lieve he cannot live.
1t Is believed that Patrolman Daley
upon passing into the alley must have
found his as5ailants endeavoring to
break into a store, that their intent
was robbery, but upon finding them
selves discovered turned and fed,
firing the fatal shot as they went.
What became Of the white man no
one seems to know, in fact, those who
pursued the men chased him but
short distance, and he too escaped.
Detectives are hard at work upon
the case, but SO far nothing has de-
veloped as to the identity Of the two

Roosevelt and the South.
Secretary Of State.

In his declining years. Henry Waiter
son is becoming so embittered that he
can no longer think on some subjects
with reason. During the past campaign,
he has been afflicted with Roosevelto-
phobia and he is about the only man in
the United States who doesn't accept
the verdict. Some people won't under
stand, even though knocked down with
club; and there was certainly enough
unanimity in the election to prove to
any sane person that the President has
the people with him.
1t is unfortunate for the South that
Watterson is not more tolerant. He
has brains enough, if properly applied,
to be of great service in the upbuilding
of the section, which needs Northern
capital and Northern energy. The re-
publican party is the party of progress,
and it is in control of the government.
1t has given the country Theodore
Roosevelt; and, when Mr. Watterson
quits frothing, we advise him to make
careful study of the returns 1t may
help set him right to learn that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has hosts of friends in
the South. He received a very hand
some vote from below Mason and Dix
on's line. He carried Missouri for the
first time in the history of the republi-
can party, and the pluralities in 1.-THE
other Southern states for his opponent
were much smaller than the pluralities
usually accorded the democratic candi-
date. So tar as we have been able to
discover, there is nothing in the cleo
tion returns from the South to indicate
that the President is more unpopular in
that section than is his party
Postmaster Edwards, of Macon, Ga,
who made an eloquent speech at Chica-
go, seconding the nomination of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in an interview, proph-
estes that before the President completes
his term of Office, he will be idolized by
the South, and The Blade believes that
this prophecy will come true. Confed-
crate veterans were warm in his praise
when he paid tender tribute to that
brave old soldier Gordon. No citizen
was given heartier reception by
Charleston than was President Roose-
welt when he visited the exposition, and
his speech was heralded by all who
heard it as rejecting the sentiments of
patriot who knew no North, no South.
There is nothing vindictive in the char
acter of Theodore Roosevelt He is
guided by head and conscience in all his
acts. and he is earnest in his desire to
weld the country into homogeneity.
1t is fortunate for the South that it
has men who are broader minded than
Watterson, who are not vitrolic in their
hatred and who are not so blindly parti-
san as to overlook the greater fruits in
their eagerness to partake of the small
er.-Toledo Blade.
