SECRETARY sHAW's PLAN.
will Accept Approved Securities Other Than Government Bonds for Ma
 tiopaI Bank Notes.

New York, Oct. 24.-Secretary Shaw authorizes the announcement that from and after Tuesday the 23d, deposits to facilitate gold importations will be discontinued The importation has exceeded his expectations and he believed for the present America had quite it's share and he had no dispo- sition to disturb conditions in Europe by continuation of that method of relief.
 Secretary Shaw has announced that he would stimulate national bank cir culaticn to the extent of s1S.000000 by accepting approved securities other than government bonds for deposits already made, the bonds released to be used immediately as basis of circulation without withdrawal from the treasury. He does not object to the assignment Of the bonds to other banks than those now holding them. but to insure their use they must re main in the treasury, and in addition. the bank taking out the circulation must agree to retire the same between the 18th day of March and the 10th day of August. 1907 The banks will be required, when taking out their cir culation, to make application for it's re tirement, and the order or per cent. of retirement from month to month will be determined by the treasury department.
 In this way eighteen millions of ad- diticnal circulation can be immediate ly issued and gradually retired during the spring and summer months. In this way also Secretary Shaw expects to demonstrate in limited form the benefits of an elastic currency.

\ DAY IF THANKSGIVING
The President Issues His Annual Proclamation Setting Aside
 Thursday, Nov. 2o.
MANY THINGS TO BE GRATEFUL FOR
Neyer Before in Our History or the His tory of Any Other Nation Has More material Prosperity Been Enjoyed Than Has Been Ours During the Past Year Declares Mir. Roosevelt


 
 Washington, Oct. 24.-The president Tuesday issued a proclamation nam- Ing Thursday, November 29th, as a day of Thanksgiving. The text of the proclamation is as follows:
 The time of year has come when. In accordance with the wise custom of our forefathers, it becomes my duty to set aside special day of thanks giving and praise to the Almighty because of the blessings we have re- ceiyed, and of prayer that these bless Ings may be continued. Yet another year of widespread well being has passed Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has people enjoyed more abounding ma- terial prosperity than is ours; a pros perity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride, and least of all spirit of needless dis regard of our responsibilities; but rather sober sense of our many blessings, and resolute purpose, un- der providence, not to forfeit them by any action of our own
 Material well being, indispensable though it is, can never be anything but the foundation of true national greatness and happiness. If We build nothing upon this foundation then our national life will be as meaning 1 fr xxln only the foundation has been laid. Upon our material we'll being must be built superstructure of individual and national life lived in accordance with the laws of the highest morality, or else our prosperity itself will in the long run turn out curse in stead of a blessing. We should be both reverently thankful for what we have received, and earnestly bent up- on turning it into a means of grace and not of destruction.
 Accordingly. I hereby set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November, next, as the day of thanksgiving and supplication, on which the people shall meet in their homes or their churches, devoutly acknowledge all that has been given them. and to pray that they may in addition re ceive the power to use these gifts arieht
 Tn witness whereof I have hereun- to set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the city of Washington, this 22d day of October in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hum dred and six, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and thirty-frst. Theodore Roose- velt."
