THANKSGIVING DAY

DATE Or OBSERVANCE.
REVERSES ARE INEVITABLE
But He Would Have Us Take Heart
in the Face Of Great Danger
Expects Much OF Us.

Washington, D. C.-President Roose.
welt, in the annual THANKSGIVING
proclamation, warns the American
people against falling Into love OF
case and OF luxury" He sets apart
Nov. 26 as day when all shall give
praise and thanks TO God for the pros.
pcrity1he country enjoys The procla.
nation follows:
Once again the season OF the year
has come when, In accordance with
the custom of our forefathers for gen.
erations past, the president appoints a
day as the especial occasion for all our
people to give praise and thanksgiving
to God.
During the past year we have been
free from famine. from pestilence from
war, we are at peace with all man
kind. Our natural resources are at
least as great as those of any other
nation. We believe that in ability to
develop and take advantage OF these
resources the average man OF this ma.
tlon stands at least as high as the
average man Of any other. Nowhere
else In the world Is there such an OPP
portunity for people to develop to the
fullest extent all its powers Of body,
OF mind, and OF that which stands
above both body and mind-charaoter
Much has been given from on high
and much will be greatly expected of
us in return. Into our care the ten
talents have been intrusted, and we
are to be pardoned ueither II we
squander and waste them, nor yet II
We hide them In napkin; for they
must be fruitful in our hands.
Even throughout the ages at all
times and among all peoples, pros.
perity has been fraught with danger,
and II hehooves us to beseech the
Giver OF all things that we may not
fall into love OF ease and of luxury,
and we may not lose our sense OF
moral responsibility; that we may not
forget our duty to God and to our
neighbors.
"A great democracy like ours, a
democracy based upon the principles
of orderly liberty, can be perpetuated
only II in the heart Of ordinary citi-
zens there dwells keen sense Of
righteousness and justice. We should
earnestly pray that this spirit OF
righteousness and justice may grow
ever greater in the hearts of all OF
us and that our souls may be inclined
ever more both towards the virtues
that tell for gentleness and tender
ness for loving kindness and forbear-
ance one with another, and toward
those no less necessary virtues that
make for manliness and rugged hard.
without these qualities
neither nation nor individual can
rise to the level of greatness.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
welt, president OF the United States,
do set apart Thursday, the twenty
eighth day of November, as q day of
general Thanksgiving and prayer, and
on that day recommend that the peo-
pie shall cease from their daily work
and, in their homes or in their
churches, meet devoutly to thank the
for the many and great
blessings they have received In the
past. and TO pray that they may be
given the strength so to order their
lives as to deserve continuation OF
these blessings In the future"

Fight Nay Not
Be Pulled off

Los ANGELES. Cal. Oct. 23.-The
Freddie Weeks-Abe Atten fight sched-
uled to be held here may never take
place.
This much is certain, unless Freddie
Weeks gives in TO the demands of Abe
Attel, or unless the featherweight
champion agrees 10 draw down his de-
mands on Weeks There is a feeling
here that Abe fears the Cripple Creek
fighter. and that his fear has caused
him 10 be Billy Nolan tactics; namely
that Weeks must fight him 10 pounds
ringside in full lighting attire, or 122
ringside stripped. with the purse split
70 per cent and . per cent.
The argument is growing warmer
hourly, and unless the matter is settled
by l o'clock tomorrow. Weeks and his
manager viii pack their trunks and go
back home.
