Thanksgiving Proclamation.

| President Roosevelt issued his annual
| Thanksgiving proclamation on Saturday last.
| 1t Is as follows:
! "Once again the season of the year has
| come when, IN accordance with the custom Of
our forefathers for generations past, the Pres
! ident appoints day as the especial occasion
| for all our people 10 g We praise and thanks
! giving TO God.
during the last year We have been free
| from famine, from pestilence. from war. We
| are at peace with all the rest OF mankind. 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 nation
stands at least as high as the average man of
any other. Nowhere else ia the world is
there such an opportunity for free people
to develop TO the fullest extent all of its
powers of body, of mind, and Of that which
stands above both body and mind-character.
much has been given us from on high, and
much will rightly be expected of US in return.
Into our care the ten talents have been iu-
trusted; and we are to be pardoned neither if
We squander and waste them, nor yet il We hide
them III napkin; for they must be fruitful
in our hands. Ever throughout the ages. at
all times and among all people. prosperity
has been fraught with danger, and it behooves
may not fall into love of ease and Of luxury;
that We may not lose our sense of moral
responsibility; that we may not forget our
duty to God and TO our neighbor.
"a great democracy like ours-a democracy
based upon the principles Of orderly liberty,
can be perpetrated only if in the heart of the
ordinary citizen there dweIls keen sense of
righteousness and justice, We should earnety
pray that this spirit of righteousness and justice
may grow even greater in the hearts OF all OF
US and that our souls may be inclined even
more both toward the virtues that tell for
gentleness and tenderness, for loving kindness
and forbearance one with another, and toward
those no less necessary virtues that make for
maniness and rugged hardihood-for without
these qualities neither nation nor individual
can rise to the level of greatness.
Now, therefore, /, Theodore Roosevelt
President of the United States, do set apart
Thursday, the 18th day of November, as a
day of general thanksgiving and prayer, aud
on that day | recommend that the people
shall cease from their daily work and in their
homes and in their churches meet devoutly
to thank the almighty 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 a continue
ton ofthese blessings in the future.

Proposed Check On Divorces By
Collision.

Every plan and movement for checking
the divorce scandal, if at all promising, is
sure to meet public approval. The fact
that 900 bills for the dissolution of mar
riages have been filed in the courts of Balti.
more in the last ten months is sufficient oi
itself to awaken the public conscience and
to plead for remedy. The Sun publish.
ed on Friday the outline of proposed act
of Assembly which is being framed by
Mr.. Allen c. GirdwoOd. a member of the
Baltimore bar and an assistant in the Of
fee of the City Solicitor, and which is
designed to prevent the granting of d.
vorces where there is collision between
the parties. 1t provides for the appoint
ment of lawyer in the Circuit Courts to
represent the State, and who shall appear
for the State in each suit for divorce 1t
also requires divorce trials to take place be-
fore the judges in court, the judge to de-
eide whether the doors are TO be open or
closed and also it will provide penalty
for the correspondent. 1t might perhaps
subserye good purpose to make some
proper provision for private hearings of
testimony upon application of the parties.
There are many cases where publicity
could serve no good end.
In England after a divorce has been
granted it remains ineffective for certain
period, and during that time the evidence
and all the circumstances are subjected to
careful scrutiny by a Government official
If he sees anydefect or discovers any collu
sion, the decree is set aside. 1t is some
thing of this system that Mr. Girdwo"d
desires TO introduce into Maryland.
Recently Rev DIR. Houghton, rector of
1.-The Little Church Around the Corner,
in New York, gave notice that he would
perform no marriage ceremony except
where he has personal knowledge of the
parties or where he has previously pub
lished the banns. 1t is his belief that
ministers of the Gospel contribute largely
to the divorce courts by uniting people in
marriage who ought not to be married
He thinks that minors should not be mar
ried without the consent of their parents,
and that in all cases there should be full
publicity. While Mr.. Girdwood bill has
not yet been entirely formulated, the
Legislature, lift comes before that body,
should deal with it carefully and with dis
corning judgment

Big Shortage In Apple Crop.

The apple crop of the United States for
1907. as estimated by the New England
Homestead, is scant "a, 900, 900 barrels
The crop is much less than that Of last
year. What is Of greater Importance is
the shortage in such commercial orchard
sections as Western New York. nearly all
of Michigan and the Southwest. In New
York State the total is about only one
fourth to one-third full crop. New
England has rather more apples than last
year, due solely TO the fact that Maine
has IA good crop.

THE Great Year" By Albertus T.. Dud-
ley. Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co., Boston.
1.-The Great Year is certainly a splendid
book for boys. Mr.. Dudley evidently
knows and understands boys very well,
because all Of them in The Great Year
are jolly good fellows. The principal
characters of the story are the three cap
tains of the baseball. football and track
and field athletic teams. They are fine
manly boys and make up their minds to
stand by each other and help each other
all they can and win a triple victory over
their rival, "Hillbury,'' so as to make the
Great Year for Seaton. They ave
rather a hard time obtaining candidates
for the different teams, but they stand by
each other through thick and thin md
fiji ally succeed in getting fairly good ma
terial.
The story is very exciting and gives one
a fine idea of football, baseball and the
track and field athletics, as well as con-
tanning lots of jolly things connected with
the general school life OF the Seaton fell
lows. Amy boy with any go in him will
like 1.-THE Great Year" The book is hand
somely bound and splendidly illustrated.

STRIKING AT PAGAN
INDICTMENT OF HIS LEAD
ERS BY GRAND JURY.
Police Chief Moiiahan on the List as
Well as an Inspector, a Captain and
other Members of the Force.

JERSEY CITY, Oct Pas a sequel to
the clash between Sheriff Kalser's men and
the police, acting under orders from Chief
Monahan, at the recent primaries, the
Grand Jury yesterday returned indict-
ments against President Theodore l..
Bierck, OF the Police Board Chief Mona
han, Inspector Philip Leonard, Captain
Charles McDevitt, of the Second Precinct,
and other policemen. In addition Police
Justice james Mccarthy. of the Second
Criminal Court, and Assistant Corporation
Attorney August ziegner were also in
dicted.
There are several counts against Chief
Monahan. the principal one being that lie
disobeyed the general election law ty issI-
ing orders for primary day which placed
the police in absolute power and eonsii-
tuted them sole judges at all polling places.
His orders are nov declared to have been
entirely at variance with the election law
rs interpreted by Attorney-General McCar-
ter. The police are controlled by Mayor
Fagan's board, in which Bierck, as presl-
dent, and John McNulty, the Mayors
uncle, constitute the majority. The orders
sent ont by Chief Monahan were couohed
in such legal terms that Corporation Coun-
sci George L. Record. Mayor Fagan's

them.
Inspector Leonard. Captain McDevitt
and the other policemen indicted, are in
the net for alleged offensive partisanship
in carrying out Chief Monahan's orders
at the various polling places and for their
disregarding the issued by the
men sent to the polls by Sheriff Kaiser,
The latter is a lieutenant of Colonel Sam
uel d. Dickinson, Secretary of State and
Republican leader of Hudson County. and
the clashes arose because of the friction
between the Dickinson anil Pagan fac
lions. Justice Mccarthy is indicted be-
cause of trouble in which he was in
volved in the Seventh, his home ward,
while the case against President Bierck
who was arrested after a row at a poll
ing place il the Second Ward, grows out
of that affair. Ziegner's case is almost
identical with that of Justice Mccarthy.
Returns in all the cases will be made
before Judge Blair, in the Sessions Court,
tomorrow.
