fact an oath was seldom heard, it
being the exception, rather than
the rule, for these good-natured
fellows to swear. On the other
hand, they went about their work
from daylight TO dark with a song

well-fed, contented and happy in
their various spheres Of labor.
They are under the guidance and
management Of a careful, polite

THANKSGIVING DAY
ON NOVEMBER 80.
President Roosevelt Issues His Formal
Proclamation.
A HIGH TIDE OF PROSPERITY.
Our Only Formidable Foes, lie says,
Are Our Own Passions, Ape
titles and FoIIies.

Washington, Nov. The
President to day issued his procla-
nation naming Thursday Novem-
Der 80 next, as a day for thanks
giving.
The proclamation follows:
"By the President Of tile United
States Of AmeyicD.
"a PROCLAMATION.
When nearly three centuries
ago the first settlers came to the
country which has now become
this great republic, they confronted
not only hardships and privation,
but terrible risks to their lives. In
these grim years the custom grew
of setting apart one day in each
year for a special service of thanks
giving to the Almighty for pre-
serving the people through the
changing seasons. The custom
has now become national and hal
lowed by immemoria1 usage.
We live in easier and more
plentiful times than our Iorefathers.
the men who with rugged strength
faced the rugged days; and yet the
dangers to national life are as great
now as at any previous time in our
history. It is eminently fitting
that once a year our people shon1d
set apart a day for praise and
thanksgiving to the Giver of good,
and, at the same time, that they
express their thankfulness for the
abundant mercies received, should
manfully acknowledge their short
comlngs and pledge themselves
solemnly and in good faith to
strive to overcome them.
During the past year we have
been blessed with bountiful crops.
Our business prosperity has been
great. No other people has ever
stood on as high a level of materi-
al Well-being as ours now stands.
We are not threatened by foes from
without. The foes from whom we
should pray to be delivered are
our own passions, appetites and
follies: and against these there is
always need that we should war.
Therefore, l now set apart
Thursday, the 3oth day of this
November, as day of thanksgiv-
ing for the past and of prayer for
the future, and on that day l ask
that throughout the land the
people gather in their homes and
places of worship and, in render
ing thanks unto the Most High
for the manifold blessings of the
past year, consecrate themselves
to life of cleanliness, honor and
wisdom, so that this nation may
do its allotted work on the earth
in manner worthy of those who
founded it and of those who pre-
served it.
In witness whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to be
affixed.

Ezra's scrupulosity in money
matters is well worthy of note.
Nothing stuck to his fingers. He
took care to guard himself against
even the imputation. So he insti-
tuted a priestly commission to
hold the treasure en- route, and re-
quired strict accounting.
The pause at the river Ahava
is very significant. The king of
Babylon had given the expedition
fine equipment, but the King of
heaven could give it a far more
complete furnishing. The one
was material; the other spiritual.
The former was ingots of gold and
silver; the latter, although imma-
terial, Outweighed the former a
thousand times. 1t was subiec-
tive and consisted in moral quail
ties of the soul. The latter was
obtained in the three days of re-
ligious retreat, ofabstinence. med
itation, and communion with the
Divine.
Religious times, places, and ser
vices need not be arbitrary and
meretricious, but they are fairly
indispensable as human nature is
constituted. The soul, on its
march to the heavenly Jerusalem.
will probably never outgrow its
need of a halt at the river of
Ahavah.
"
There are seventy silent years
between the completion Of the
temple and the enterprisesof Ezra.
The scribe is all important link
in the evolution of letters. From
the crude shipping clerk, keeping
tally of goods, or soldiers and
prisoners, there was an advance to
the royal secretary, and finally the
recorder of the saying Of the
prophets.
\
The object of Ezra's journey
was twofold: To embelish the
temple, but chiefly to reannounce
and enforce the Hebrew law.
y
ue WelS ming OF the silver and
gold was no unusual custom. AS
there was little or no coming of
money i'll those days, commercial
transactions were performed by
means of scales, in which ingots of
gold and silver were weighed. In
this instance upwards of S3o,ooo,-

RATE BILL IS OPPOSED
Representatives Of 20 Leading Coal
Mines in the Knoxville Section
Draw Up Petition Declaring E1kins
Anti-Rebate Law Eaficient-rinal
Action Delayed Until Meeting at
Louisville.

Knoxville, Tenn, Speeial-A meet
ing Of coal operators Of Tennessee
and Kentucky was held here at which
forty leading mines of this section
were represented. Their meetings
were secret and definite action was
delayed on the Eseh-Townsend bill,
for which purpose the meeting was
called, until after a meeting OF Louis
vile, KY, which will be held there
by the coal men of the northern end
OF the district. 1t is the plan TO Sc
cure representative committee from
the two sectional meetings and send
the same to Washington TO appear be-
fore the Senate committee and set
before them their objections TO the
Esch-Townsend bill. A petition drawn
up recites the belief of the coal ope-
rators that the demand for new rate
legislation is the outcome Of failure
of some of the common carriers to
impartially apply the published tariff
to all shippers, by the granting of
rebates, concessions from tariff rates
either directly or indirectly. The pc
titiCn further reciteS that the Pres
ident Is right in demanding the stop
page Of all rebates. expresses the be-
lief that the Elkins law effectively
remedies the rebate question when
properly enforced, and urges the pas
sage Of legislation necessary TO pro-
vide the proper machinery for the
effective stoppage Of rebates OF what
ever character arising from the fail
ure to obse,:a iinpaltially the pub
lished rates Of railroads. "Any leg
islation,' recites the petition, "that
will radically disturb the prevailing
conditions will inure to our injury
by destroying the elasticity of present
making methods, and as far as
coal rates are intertered with at all,
local monopolies will be created by
law, which present methods of rate
making make impossible.' The pc
tition recognizes that there are evils
to remedy, expresses the belief that
the Esch-T Townsend bill will not fur
nish relief and prays for hearing.
