There is Il good deal of form and Ger
emory about the making of the
THANKSGIVING proclamation. 1t is com
posed 10y the president himself and in
most instances written out in his own
hand. When this is done the document
goes to the state department. where it
is carefully copied in ornamental writ
ing that is almost like engraving ON the
official blue paper of that department.
The next thing needed on the document
is the great seal of the government.
This seal is kept by the clerk of par
dOnS and commissions, ana p, is very
carefully guarded under lock and key.
Its keeper will not produce it without
special warrant signed by the prcsi-
dent. and an impression of the seal is
quite Il ceremony in itself. When the
proclamation has been thus duly sign
ed and sealed many copies are made Of
it by clerks, and one is sent to the gov
ernor of every state in the Union. 1t is
also given out then to the press agents,
who telegraph il all over the United
States. Each governor, as he receives
it, issues one himself for his state.

WOman's Rights.

Mothers, daughters, wives and sis
tiers, why don't you demand and
work for your just rights as voters,
so you can dethrone King Alcohol
with his awful train of misery, de-
bauchery and crime. and other Ii
censed and law-protected crimes.
But some women say: 81 ought
not to vote or dabble in politics. =
Well, does it concern you or your
interests? If you are satisfied with
existing laws and circumstances you
may talk thus, but how can you be
satisfied with the hotbeds of crime
all around you? Drunkenness, pol
luton, gambling, bribery, besides a
great train of crime, debauchery and
misery carried on under license and
sanction of law?
Haven t you as much right to vote
as the average negro, or white man
stepped in criminal pollution, and de-
void of honor?
Haven't you more intelligence and
honor than many men who would
sell their vote for a trife or vote
just as somebody tells them, or vote
for corrupt man just because he
wears a party collar9
Do you think it right for a widow
with family Of children growingup
dependent on her and the conditions
of society, and who has to pay tax
on her property, to be deprived OF
her sufirage1 Hasn't she as much
right to vote as the boot.leggcr, the
gambler, the ignorant dude, etc,
who produce nothing, and perhaps
have nothing but their nefarious
profession, and are teaches on the
public and society
