The Presidents Thanksgiving Procla-
mation.-This week President Roosevelt is
sued his proclamation designating Thursday,
November oath, as the day Ito be observed as
day of festival and thanksgiving by all peo-
pie of the United States at home and abroad !"
The proclamation says:
lit has pleased Almighty God to bring
the American people in safety and honor
through another year. and in accordance with
the long-unbroken custom, handed down
to us by our forefathers, the time has come
when q special day shall be set apart in which
to thank Him who holds all nations in the
hollow of His hand for the mercies thus
vouchsafed to US. During the century and
quarter of our national life we as q people
have been blessed beyond sll others, and for
this we owe humble and heartfelt thanks to
the Author of all blessings.
1.-THE year that has closed has been one of
peace within our borders as well as between
us and all other nations. The harvests have
been abundant, and those who work, whether
with hand or brain, are prospecting greatly.
Reward has waited upon honest effort. We
have been enabled to do our duty to ourselves
and to others. Never has there been time
when religion and charitable effort has been
more evident. Much has been given to us and
much will be expected from us.
I'VE speak of what has been done by this
nation in no spirit of boastfulness or vainglory,
but with full and reverent realization that our
strength is as nothing unless we are helped
from above. Hitherto we have been given the
heart and the strength to do the tasks allotted
to us as they severally arose. Weare thankful
for all that has been done for us in the past,
and we pray that in the future we may be
strengthened in the unending struggle to do
our duty fearlessly and honestly, with charity
and good will. with respect for ourselves and
with love toward our fellow-men. In this
great republic the effort to combine national
strength with personal freedom is being tried
on a scale more gigantic than ever before in
the worlds history. Our success will mean
much not only for ourselves, but for the fu-
ture of all mankind, and every man or woman
in our land should feel the grave responsibility
resting upon him or her, for in the last analy
sis this success must depend upon the high av-
erage of our individual citizenship, upon the
way in which each of us does his duty by him
self and his neighbor."

GOVERNOR WAKEFIELD of Maryland, attended
one session of the Maryland Sunday School
Convention which was held in Baltimore last
week. He made an address and among other
things said: "If am not such a good man
myself, but have good Christian wife. She
goes to Sunday school every Sunday, rain or
shine, and when the weather is too bad in the
country to take the children to Sunday school
she remains at home and teaches her children
the catechism and the Bible. have always
been taught to remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy, and have read my Bible, which
has been in our family for over one hundred
years and for which my deceased mother sold
apples to purchase. Teach the children to
love honesty and good citizenship"

Speaker Cannon, after visiting all the close
districts in the West. says that there is no
doubt that the Republicans will have as large
q majority in the next House as they have in
the present one. This is encouraging news
from a veteran campaigner who is good
guesser in political matters. Mr.. Cannon has
been more intimately identified with the Con-
gressional campaign than any other one man
and he has had exceptional advantages IN
studying the political situation. He is con-
sentative in all things and he is not given to
Boosting.
The campaign Of Judge Parker has become
farcical in the last week in bis denunciation OF
everything and everybody who is not promis-
ing to vote for him. He has become more
rabid in his hatred and more venomous in bis
denunciation of business men than was Mr..
Bryan in 1896 or 1900 and he has demonstra-
ted that bis boosted conservatism of three
months ago was only a pretense and bid for
the votes of conservative business men. He
has tried every dodge known to politics in the
way of issues and has at last landed just
where Mr.. Bryan landed in the beginning Of
his campaign eight years ago.
The net result of this variagated campaign
of Judge Parker is the Generalization of the
Democratic leaders in Congress. Representa-
tive John Sharp Williams and Senator Bailey
have become disguised and cancelled their
dates for future speeches. They were expected
to follow the whims Of Judge Parker and his
committee and make free trade speechesin one
state and speeches against imperialism" in
another, while in other states they were ex-
pected to waste their breath in senseless de-
nunciation Of President Roosevelt and the Re-
publican party.
After firing the people generally with such
=! =. scslse dss dsssc with them
selves and gone on strike. They admit that
Speaker Cannon's estimate of the campaign is
substantially correct and that the Republican
party will remain in control of the Govern
ment, both legislative and executive, if there
is anything like full vote next week.
This is the one point to be watched. The
victory has been won in fair fight, but it
may yet be lost through overconfdence or
negligence on election day. Every Republic
can should not only go to the polls but see that
bis Republican neighbor goes and votes, not
alone for Roosevelt but for the whole ticket.
The way to hold the victory won is to vote as
you believe and know to beright.
Don't leave your duty for others to perform.
Go to the polls and vote.

ton for the fiscal year ended June 3Oth, 1904,
issued few days ago by the Secretary Of the
Interior. shows the 16, O09 1851 pupils, or 20 per
cent Of the entire population of the country,
attended the public schools during that year.
As compared with the previous six years,
this percentage shows slight decrease in the
number Of pupils as compared with total popu-
lation. The total cost of the public school
system is given as $251, 457, 625. This is an in
crease of Sl6,OOO,O00 over the previous year.
1t amounts to sS.15 per capita Of total popuIa-
ton, and 1926 per capita per pupil.

TOM WATSON, the Populist candidate for
President, made speech at Statesboro, Ca, on
Monday night last and among other things
said: 1--WE are not afraid of the negro, are
WEI We have him in the hollow of our hands
and are going to keep him there. Have we
not done everything to him in the South that
we wanted to? I care nothing about Parker
but to get him out of the way, and if the peo-
pie will stand by me I will wipe Roosevelt off
the earth in 1908. Parker is nothing, and not
much of that. He is the dog in the manager.

The MANAGERS of both the great parties have
figured out certain" victory for their respec-
tive candidates next Tuesday, but as it is a
matter of impossibility for both TO win some
of those who are putting forth these predic-
tions are doomed to sad disappointment. It
would eem-considering the sources of infor-
mation-that the Republicans have by far the
best chance to win, and this is even conceded
by many well informed Democrats. The New
York Tribune gives Roosevelt S14 electoral
votes and Parker ISL. 1t places Maryland's
votes and Nevada's 8 in the doubtful col
umn. The total electoral vote is 476. Neces-
sary to elect, 239.

Mr.. Ringgold Sues Former Partners
On Tuesday Col. d. G. Mcintosh, attorney for
Mr.. John j. Ringgold, entered suit in the Cir
cult Court here againt Messrs. Lemuel D. Of
futt, John A. Wright and c. Frank Emmart,
composing the insurance firm of Offutt, Wright
& Emmart. Mr. Ringgold says that he was
formerly a member of the firm and sold his
that he has only received $3.50 on account. He
asks that the defendants be required to pay
him the amount yet alleged to be due. The
defendants, by their attorney, Major John l.
Yellott, filed an answer to the bill alleging that
Mr.. Ringgold is indebted to the firm. Both
the plaintiff and the defendants ask the court
to direct an examination of the books.

THE DEMOCRATS have discovered one more
reason why Roosevelt should not be elected
President. While riding his horse fell on
wet bridge and the President fell to the ground
and was slightly hurt. Certainly no one will
commit so rash an act as to vote for madcap
who would fall from horse It would be
simply ridiculous.

THE DEMOCRATS of some of the lower coun-
ties of Maryland have again introduced the
trick ballot scheme in the hope of confusing
the voters. How any body of men who are
not utterly lost to every sense of seIfrespect
can be guilty Of such downright rascality it is
hard to understand. And any man who would
accept an election under such conditions is
just as bad-or even worse-than the men who
put up the job.

A NuMBRE of questions were last week sub
mitted to Attorney General Bryan relative to
the marking of the ballots at the election next
Tuesday. In concluding his review of the
subject he says: II think that all these ques-
tons, some of them perplexing, which arise as
to the proper method of counting the ballots
and as to the right of a candidate to have his
name upon the official ballot, demonstrate the
wisdom of repeating our whole system of vot-
ing and of going back to the old-fashioned
methods. It is a good thing to prohibit cleo
pioneering within 100 feet of the polls; it is
most excellent thing to have the voting from
the original registration books and not from
poll books. as this prevents fraud. 1t is also
wise to have the voting in a room rather than
at window. But all the rest of the present
election machinery tends to make voting
matter of skill and chance and not, as itshould
be, simple and easy method of ascertaining
the popular will.''
