President Roosevelt, in his proc
lamation, fixes the last Thursday in
November, the 26th. as Thanksgiv-
ing Day, and says: During the past
year we have been free from fam
inc, 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 advan-
tage of these resources the average
man of this nation stands at least
as high as the average man of any
other. Nowhere else IN the world
is there such an opportunity for a
free people to develop to the fullest
extent all its powers Of body, of
mind, and of that which stands
above both body and mind char
acter."

It Is noticeable that many who
formerly cultivated small farms oi
their own In this parish, or who
worked as farm hands for others,
have abandoned this work for en-
ployment in the numerous small
saw mills scattered throughout the
parish. This abandonment will be
only temporary-the result of Pc
culiar conditions that have kept cash
out of the hands of the farmer and
substituted a necessity fol- barter
and trade; but as land values
increase, so will the value of the
products of the soil and the demand
for them. New railroads and new
development will create a demand
for such products as can be profit
ably raised IN St. Tammanv parish,
and the scramble to secure lands
will ioe as eager then as the desire
for new employment is now.

Diseases are combatted and rene.
dies found for them when they be.
come alarmlngly prevalent and
dangerous but these recurring
panics at an almost uniform period
of twenty years seem to defy all
effort to counteraot their fearful
and devastating influences. We
are told that 'snelther the business
credit of the nation nor Its indus
trial and agricultural prosperity is
affected '-ln other words, that
there is no cause for alarm. It
seems, under such circumstance,
that a homeopathic dose of conf
dence should be all that is neces-
sary yet the most drastic meas
ures prove ineffective. Let us
hope that The ''elastic currency"
prescription may prove beneficial
in future outbreaks, If it only can
be properly compounded.

The manufacturing lumbermen OF
Houston, Texas, have called a
meeting for November 8, to devise
ways and means of utilizing the
waste around saw mills.
It is surprising what a condition
Of wastsfulness exists in this con-
nection, when we consider the value
of lumber. Anyone inspecting the
numerous small saw mills in St.
Tammany parish will note at q
glance that this unnecessary loss Of
timber would reach figures of sur.
prlsing magnitude il calculated
upon basis of actual waste, but
like the by-products of the cotton
oil industry, the usefulness of what
is now discarded as worthless will
only become known when value is
placed. upon it by showing its fit
ness to be manufactured into Useful
products. Il is to be hoped that
this meeting will be productive of
results that may be of benefit to US
here by way of example.

The Extra Session.
The following letter is taken from

Ihe following letter is taken from
the Plcayune:
New Orleans, Oct. p, 1907.
Editor Picayune - Relative TO
the Governors Precipltate call for
an extra session of the General AS
ssembly, We are at loss to know
why he did not urge these measures
at the last two regular sessions of
the General Assembly. The meas
ures which he urges as an excuse
for this extraordinary call have
been before the people for the last
four years, most of which were
made an issue in the last campaign,
and Notwithstanding the large vote
recorded iii tl.eir favor, he has al
lowed his administration TO come
almost to close before raising his
voice in their behalf. He had am
pie opportunity at the last session
OF the General Assembly to have
had all these measures embodied
into law. But having failed to do
bis duty, he now comes forward on
the verge of an election az the
champion of reforms which he has
perslstently opposed.
The Constitution says: Article
IS, he (the Governor) may, on ex
traordinary occasions, convene the
General Assembly at the seat of
government. Where was the Eek
tTaordinary occasion" for this call !?
Why put the State to the expense
of converting the General Assembly
to pass laws which they should have
passed at the session one year ago,
or could pass at the regular session
five months from now? What is
the method" in this madness ?''
"Verily, his ways are past finding
out"
How is he to interfere with can.
didates that are now in the field?
The last Legislature passed the
Primary Law. 1t is State law.
Candidates have made their depos.
it's under this law, winch is a con.
tract between them and the State,
and this action of the Governor can
DO viewed in no other light than to
impair the obligation Of contract.
J. E. Gibson.
The above letter appears to US
. very just criticism of the action
of Governor Blanchard in delaying
until the eve of his retirement
matters that should have been at.
tended to in the early part of his
administration. 1t gives his call
for an extra session the appearance
of desiring to withdraw Mr.. San
ders from the field OF campaign.

Mayor Berman has shown great

Saturday Excursions.

There has been considerable
complaint that the Saturday excur-
sions out of Covington have taken
a great deal of trade to New Or
leans that rlghtfullY belongs TO the
merchants of Covington, and this
is probably true. The railroad
cannot be blamed for this. 1t Is
conducting Its business to make
money, and if it did not look out
for its own interests no one else
would; besides, they are great
convenience to the public.
But we do not think it polite,
ror to the best interest indlvidu-
ally or collectively, for the sake of
a few pennies saved, to transfer to
New Orleans or to other cities
the patronage that rightfully
belongs TO our home merchants.
We should have civic PRIDE enough
to cast aside such trivial cons,dera-
ton for the mutualism that de-
mands the sacrifice of personal IN.
terests to the welfare of the com.
munlty. Upon The success of our
businessmen depends the prosperity
Of the town, and incidentally your
own prosperity, and by your non
support OF community interests
in Withdrawing your aid and as
sistance from the home merchant,
you are simply placing obstacles In
the way of an ultimate condition
that would enable you to purchase
in your home market at as reason.
able figures, quality for quality,
as you could In New Orleans.
Think this over; and remember
that the money you spend here
goes into circulation. 1t enables
somebody who owes you to pay
the debt, and 1t enables you to pay
the debt you owe. 1t brings COM
fort and the necessaries of life to
those who are near and dear to
you; but the money you take
away may be long time coming
back, and perhaps never. Help to
build up your home merchant and
enable him, by his increased bust
ness, to meet your demands. In
strenuous times, when credit Is
needed, the New Orleans merchant
is notsthe one who is going to carry
you over the rough places. 1t is
your home merchant.
