PRESIDENTS THANKSGIVING.

WASHINGTON. Nov 23.-Present
signs point to rather quiet Thanks
giving for the national capital tomor
NOV. Many public officials have left
for their homes in other parts of the
country to eat their dinners Of tur-
key and cranberry sauce. Included
among the absentees are several
members of the cabinet
The occupants of the White House
will pass the day after the usual Gus.
tom. Some changes in the usual pro
gram will be necessitated, however
by the fact that the President has
fixed tomorrow night as the time for
his departure for St Louis. In view
of this circumstance 1t Is probable
that he will find it necessary to spend
part of the day with Secretary Loeb
and his assistants, instead of closing
the executive offices entirely as he
has done in past years.
But if there is any business trans
acted at the White House 1t will not
be permitted to interfere in the slight
est with the Thanksgiving dinner. The
President is a stickler in regard to
the observation of the day with a good
oldfashioned turkey dinner He in
sists that all of the members of his
family shall be present on this occa.
sion There are no house guests at
the White House this year, but a mum
Der of invited friends in official life
have received invitations to partake
of the feast. Mr.. Roosevelt will carve
his own turkey, which will be a
Rhode Island bird of the finest breed
Each year at Thanksgiving time the
noblest gobbles in all that little State
is sent to the President of the United
States, being selected with the utmost
care by an old gentleman named
Horace Vose of Westerly, who for
more than quarter of century has
, taken pride in making this annual
House. Turkeys from many other
quarters have been received at the
White House during the week. These
were distributed this morning by
Secretary Loeb among the ushers,
doorkeepers and other attaches of the
executive mansion.
Plans for the Presidents trip to
st. Louis were practically completed
today. Secretary and Mrs. Loeb will
accompany the Roosevelts. Few mem
bers of the White House stan also
will go along. 1t is evident from this,
that the President intends putting
the finishing touches in his message
to Congress during the trip as well as
attending to other executive business
which can be done en- route
Henry Pickley, the White House
steward is making elaborate prepara-
tions for the Thanksgiving feast

away of this statesman the country
loses one of her most powerful men
AS political organizer, he had few
equals and no peers. He understood
both rich ana poor and sympathiz,
ed with both. He worked himself
into the hearts of workingmen by
arbitrating their difficulties as no
other could. He won the rich by
working for their interest. His
success lay in the fact he did things
He was close student and tireless
worker. His monument is not in

He stood for energy and conservat-
ism and built on that name
that will last through time and
history.
