THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
Governor HoCh Issues One Fixing Noyem-
Der 20.

Governor Hoch has issued the fol-
lowing Thanksgiving prociamation:
"Belief in an overruling Providence
in the affairs of men has characterize
ed civilized people in all ages. From
the day the Pilgrim Fathers landed
at Plymouth Rock down to the pres
ent time it has characterized the
people of this country. The custom,
long established, of devoting one day
to a recognition of this great faith
and fact is a beautiful and appropri-
ate one aud should constantly grow in
public favor. He reads American
history with i perfect vision who
does not see upon every page of it
the impress of an Almighty hand.
Let us believe that when Columbus
first stepped upon this continent and,
kneeling in the sand, consecrated it
to God and humanity, his act had in
it both providence and prophecy, and
let us believe that the principles of
civil and religious liberty represented
by our civilization and symboiized by
our flag Will ultimately girdle and
glorify this globe. For the wonderful
dCuItNGIuQnUS III our ulSlOTy anu 1OT
the marvellous prosperity which has
been voachSafed to as in nation and
state let US humbly render thanks to
the Giver Of all good.
I'm full sympathy with these senti-
ments, in harmony with this faith,
and in accordance with the time
honored custom, reaffirmed by recent
proclamation from the president of
the United States, /, E. w. Hoch,
governor of the state of Kansas, do
hereby designate Thursday, the Goth
day of November, 1906, as a day of
Thanksgiving and trust that the peo-
pie of Kansas will in public places of
worship. and in private 6evotions
make fitting acknowledgements to
Almighty God for all his blessings to
us a people.
In Testimony Whereof, I haye
hareunto subscribed my name and
caused to be affixed the great seal of
the state of Kansas. Done at Topeka,
the 18th day of November, A. D.,

A Suspicious Man.

G. M. HOlmquist, accompanied by
sheriff of Ellis county, came up FRI
day to watch the county commission
ers count the votes. Mr.. Holmquist
is a very suspicious individual. He
lost his vote on election day in order
to be in Wallace county and tell the
people how to vote. He then came
up to see that the vote was correctly
counted. He could not trust our
county officers to count the vote,
neither could he trust the people to
do their own voting.
We understand Mr.. Holmquist
brought the sheriff of Ellis county
along as personal bodyguard. Mr..
Holmquist was afraid of a mob. Gee,
the Wallace county people must be a
bad Lot. Can't trust them to vote:
can't trust them to count the vote
after the voting is done; bring sheriff
along as bodyguard; afraid of mob.
Mr.. Holmquist had better go and
soak his head. He gives intelligent
people that tired feeling you read
about. He has entirely over-estimat-
ed his own Importance. The people
of Wallace county don't care if he
comes here every election day. They
don't care if he comes and brings a
regiment of sheriffs to see the votes
counted. They have sense enough to
do their own counting and voting
without the assistance of Mr.. Holm
quist or anyone else. And all the
people ask of Mr.. Holmquist in return
is that he leave his dirty lies at home
and act like gentleman while here.
Sharon Springs Times.
The general public blame politi-
ticians with being tricky, deceitful,
double dealing The politicians haYe
good deal to put up with-it is a
wonder everyone of them doesn't
turn into wolf. People lie to them
and lie about them. Men tell candi-
dates they are for them when talking
to their face. and when they are out
of sight they jab their snickersnice
into them at least a foot. Somehow
lot of people have it in their heads
that politics is a dirty business any
| way, and if they dabble in the game
they have to be mean or else they are
not rightly in the play. In horse
trade and in politics most any mans
conscience will stretch like a rubber
garter, to suit the demands of the oc-
casion. With such an environment
it is wonder that men who run for
office do not turn out to he human
hyenas-some of them do.-Concordia

SLEPT IN THE RAIN.
President and His Party in Camp
Receive a DrenChing.

OYSTER BAY, y. e., July 1s.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt camped on the shores
of Cold Spring harbor during the night.
With him were his sons Quentin and
Archie. their cousins Philip and George,
o Of w. Emlen Roosevelt; DR.. Alex
ander Lambert of New York, the presi-
dents personal physician, and Lieuten-
ant Bulmer, commander of the yacht
Sylph.
The camp was pitched on Eaton's
Neck. which in the fall season during
past years has always been the scene
Of a merry juvenile bivouac with the
president as the central figure telling
campfire stories.
Plenty of time was taken in locating
and pitching camp. The beach was
found the most available place, and
after the usual jolly evening in camp
and sleep time came the party rolled up
In summer coverings and went to sleep,
Then came the rain. The Sylph's
landing boats had been pulled upon the
shore and overturned, sailor-like. When
the rain came the boys were the first
to wake. They hurrledly beat a re-
treat to the overturned boats, where
they remained during the storm. The
president, DR.. Lambert and Lieutenant
Bulmer had no shelter and simply roll
ed tighter in their blankets and took
the wetting.
When the rain ceased sleep was again
In order, and 1t was not until the morn
ing sur was beginning its hottest rec
ord that Sycamore Hill was reached on
the return.
President Roosevelt later did some
good hard farming. He pitched and
moved a load of hay, just in time to
save 1t from n terrific thunderstorm
which swept Long island.
