Taft Men Delighted.
The President Outspoken.

Inc FreS1QeQC OutSpOken.
President Roosevelt was frank and out
spoken today to some of his callers, who
discussed his third term declaration with
him. With unanimity the callers viewed
last nights statement final Now
and then a man would point out that
this statement had no more weight than
the one made election night 1904. In all
directions the situation would be cleared
Taft men declared that Taft would be
benefited. while friends of other candi-
dates saw a fine opportunity to make
headway.
The President tells his close friends that
he desires to be accepted at his word and
trusts that admirers will no longer try
to Indicate that he might be forced to dc
something else He would unhesitatingly
decline the nomination If rendered to him
AS illustrating the Presidents position
Senator Long today called attention to ar
editorial of William Allen White of Kan
sas in which he said that it was not fair
or decent to assume that the President
was liar or hypocrite or that he is
weak and vaciliating enough to be

Clayton Resolution No Bother.
The Clayton resolution introduced in the

drearily. as she sat in her widows
weeds in the square wooden pew.
The long, long prayer was finished.
Patience liked the prayer, for in it she
could hide her face. II was never too
long for her although a modern
ehurch-goer would be aghast at having
to listen to even a sermon of such
a length. The psalms of rejoicing had
been sung. These had been harder

said Judge Fletcher, whose ancestor
had been a Judge in the days of the
persecution of Anabaptists and

DOWN the aisle to put out the intruder
Some of the men half rose, but sat
down again when they saw that the

a dreadful thing in those days to dis

widow, unmindful of disturbance, start

the aisle

cried.
Never had a religious service in
Bethlehem Hill been broken up like
this one. The minister stopped in

sentence. The dreaded tithingm man
himself, who bore upon his soul the
awful responsibility of every man and

Day of Thanks for the Manifold
Blessings Showered Upon
the Nation Officially Fixed
for November 28.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-President
Roosevelt today issued a Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation through the secre-
tary of state, naming the last Thurs
day in November, which is the 2Sth.
The Thanksgi ding proclamation fol-
lows:
Once again the season of the year
has come, when, in accordance with
the custom of our torefatbers for
generations past, the president APP
points day as the special occasion
for all our people to give praise and
thanksgiving to God.
During the past year we have
been free from famine, from pesti-
lence, 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 ration.
We believe that in ability to develop
and take advantage of these re-
sources the average ma& of this nation
stands at least as high as the aver
age man of any other. Nowhere
else in the world is there such an op-
pGFtunity for a free people to devel-
op, 70 the fullest extent. all its pow
ers of bodv, CT mind and of that which
stands above the body and mind
charity.
Much has been given us from on
high. and much viii be rightly ex-
pected of us in return. Into our
care the talents have been entrusted;
and we are to be pardoned neither 4
we sguander and w=ste them. nor yet
If we hide them IN napkin: for they
must he fruitful in our hands.
Ever. Throughout the ages, at all
times and among all peoples, prosper
ity has been fraUght with danger,
and 1t behooyes us to beseech the
Governor Of All things that we may
not 7aIl into love of ease ami of luI-
uTg; that We may not lose our senses
of moral responsibility; that We may
not forget our duty to God and = our
neighbers.
A great democracy like ours. a
democracy based en- the principles of
Ordinary liberty can be perpetuated
only If in the hearts of ordinary citi-
zens there dWells a keen sense of
righteousness and justice. We
should earnestly pray that this spirit
of right eousness and justice may grow
in the hearts of US all. and that our
soals NAV be inclined evermore both
toward the virtues that tell her gen
tleness and tenderness. or loving kind
ness and forbearance, one with an
other. and toward those no less neces-
sary virtues that make for manliness
and rugged hardihood; for without
these Qualities. neither nation nor
individual can rise to the level of
greatness.
Nov. therefore, ] Theodore ROOse-
welt President Of the United States, dc
set apart Thursday, the 2Sth day OF
November, as a day for general
thanksgiving and prayer, and on thai
day L recommend that the people shall
cease from their daily work, and, n
their homes or their churches, meet
deyoutiy 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 confirmation of these blessings in
the future"

long hours to wait, and it was bitter
cold, and for some unaccountable rea-
son the station was locked.
A ffagman came to watch for a pass
ing express train. Seeing the travel
er's plight, the 1agman invited him
to come into his shack and warm
himself
The fiagman's home was a tiny
place, fitted out with the barest nee
essities, but, in varied contrast to the
surroundings, along one side of the
wall was a rough pine bookshelf con-
tanning well thuIlbed volumes OF all
that the world holds greatest in liter
ature, philosophy and science.
After a short conversation the trav-
sIeY maryelIed to find that the flag
man possessed a fund of knowledge
IN most subjects, and of the classics
in particular, which would have put
many a college professor to blush.

That is wicked repining. said the
aunt sententiously. She ought to be

should be thankful that her life was
spared when her neighbors were
taken. Doubtless it was q leading of

to do this as there were ugly rumors
Of alliance between the British tory

Mistress Prudence made a sign for

face of the pale young widow grew

Mistress Lovejoy looked at her sis
