All the Republican leaders of the pop.
ular branch, from Cannon down. are
In favor of measure substantially on
the lines which the president urges
If the Republicans OF the senate fail
to give rate regulation the support
which 1t needs to carry 1t through that
body the Democrats will do the work
These considerations will prevent any
serious break among the Republican
senators on that policy A regulation

against that policy will have hard

election. The country is resolved to
try the experiment of placing a super
vision over railway rates in the hands
of some government board. and the
people usually accomplish what they
set out to do. On the rate regulation

ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING.

Modern Thanksgiving was original.
ed by the Hollanders and was cele.
brated by them In October, 1876. at
Leyden, the occasion being the ami
versary OF that city'B deliverance from
Siege. The first celebration of the
day In America. OF which we have
any record, was In the year 1921. Gov.
Bradford designated a day for univer-
sal Thanksgiving after the first harvest
OF the Plymouth colony in New Eng
land. and dispatched four men to the
forests to procure game for the occa-
sion. These hunters came back with
as many wild turkeys and other game
as It was possible for them to carry
The firing Of a big gun on top of
nearby hill announced the beginning
Of the festival. Thursday, Oct. "a. 1921,
ten months and three days after the
the arrival Of the colony In this coun-
try. At the meeting house Elder
Brewster delivered the sermon while
Gov. Bradford, Miles Standish and
others Joined In the services. After
services the meal cooked In the open
greatly enjoyed. Psalms and songs
were sung.
History tells US that in the midst
OF their rejoicing a band OF friendly
Indians appeared under Chief Massa-
soft. who had come to Join In the fes-
tivities. Their appearance created
quite panic until their friendly mis-
sion was made known. The Massa.
chusetts Bay colony also appointed
Thanksgiving day for several years
before 1899. the rulers Of New Meth.
erlands had regular days for Thanks
giving between the years 1914 and
1865. an example followed by the gov
ernors of New York hundred years
later. In 1867 Peter Stuyvesant Is.
sued Thanksgiving proclamation
containing among other things these
remarkable words:
"In order that these services may
be observed with the greatest har-
mony the director general and coun
Gil forbid during the exercises on the
said day Of thanksgiving all such
pleasures as playing tennis or ball
hunting. fishing. driving. blowing
moving, together with all forbidden
plays. as dice. conviviality and such
like under penalty Of arbitrary punish
ment, and we admonish At the came
time all ministers of the holy gospe
within our Jurisdiction to formulate
their prayers and sermons according
ly."
During the revolution Congress 70
commended the annual observance o
Thanksgiving. but after peace thu
practice was discontinued until Pres
ident Washington appointed Oct 3
1889. as a day Of Thanksgiving on &C
