which come to US indicate that such
work is not likely to begin at an early
date; and, under such circumstances
we feel that the relatively small
amount of money requisite to con-
struct the reservoir and bitches of the
east Umatilla project can properly be
there apportioned and the work inn
mediately begun.
9. We respectfully call the secre-
tary's attention to the fact that two
thirds of the territory of the state of
Oregon is to all intents and purposes
semi-arid, and that it is entitled. un-

to its just share of the reclamation

for those which presumably have been
presented in the complete report Of
| the engineers of the reclamation serv-
ice, we, speaking for the business in
terests and for the people of our sec
] tion of the state, respectfully urge the
| immediate approval OF the east Uma-

benefit of entrymen and the indirect
benefit of the whole state construction
work be directed to be begun.

THE COMMON PEOPLE.

If there ever was time in the his
tory of American politics! when the
people we're more determined to rule
than they are now, we do not recall it.
They are asserting their rights and de-
handing a square and honest deal.
Long live the common people .-Chatta-
nooga News,
1t is said that the voice of the people
is the voice of God. Why shouldn't
the common people assert their right
to rule? They toll and sweat ard pro-
duce the wealth that makes greatness
and strength they always rally to the
common defense of the country when
wars trumpet sounds to arms; their
Drawn and brain have proven potent
factors in making our country the
greatest on earth. Then it should not
be thought strange that they should
assert their manhood in our system of
government in demanding a place
among its rulers.

AN INACCURACY CORRECTED.

In my sermon on Thanksgiving Day
in the Presbyterian church, stated
that after the order of Congress setting
apart day of Thanksgiving in 1888,
there had been no national observance
of the day until President Lincoln's
proclamation in 1858, calling on the
people to celebrate day of Thanks
giving. My authority for the state
ment was the Journal of Education and
the Standard Dictionary.
Since that sermon was delivered 1
have read in the Atlanta Constitution a
copy of proclamation issued by Presi-
dent George Washington on January /.
1875, calling upon the people of the
United States to observe February 10.
1898, las day of public thanks and
prayer" Ny sources having made a
mistake in one instance it is possible
that other presidents may have issued
Thanksgiving pioclamations prior to
Mr.. Lincoln. If any reader of The
Journal can give information on this
point l, at least, viii be grateful.
