LET US GIVE THANKS.

10 Gov. Hoch has issued proc I
o lamation designating Thursday, {
o November 18th, as the day of {
o Thanksgiving. The proclama- {
o tion reads: {
o 1--WE are approaching the fall
o festival reverentIy known as {
o Thanksgiving Day, when by {
o common custom and by execu- {
tive proclamation the minds {
o and hearts of the people are {
o directed toward the source {
from whence all our blessings {
come. The worshpfuI spirit {
is universal. II is inherent in {
o man. Like the vine in the eel {
lar creeping toward the light,
so the human soul reaches up {
toward God. Among all the ma {
tons and tribes Of earth no {
exception has been found to {
this great truth. In civilized {
o lands the greatest men and c
women have always been be- {
o levers in an everything Provi- {
o dence. {
o ain harmony with this belief c
o the president of the United c
States and the governors of c
o the various commonWealths
o annually invoke the observ- c
o ance of a day in November c
o when the fields have yielded c
o their fruitage and the harvests c
o have all been garnered, that c
o gratitude may find expression c
o in prayer and praise and in c
o charity to those who need It. G
o That the people of this coun- c
o try and this state have abun- c
o dant reason for thankfulnses G
o to the Gver of all good needs c
no executive affirmation. Peace c
o prev aiIs and prosperity c
abounds and the occasion for c
gratitude is not confined to c
o material things for the state c
and nation have made wonder c
full strides in the things that c
are of vastly more Importance c
to a people than its material c
o prosperity. Prohibition, in c
which Kansas claims leader @
ship, has made giant strides c
until today more than half of G
the territory of the United Q
o States is under its dominion. O
The saloon is doomed. Let G
US thank God for that. The G
standard of official integrity O
has been lifted and organized @
o greed is rapidly losing its pow o
o err. The unusual but tempo O
o rary condition in financial cir o
cles, caused chiefly by friction o
o In finance outside of our bord- O
o ers, has served to show the o
o colidity of our financial con- o
o Germs and the self poise of our o
people, and will ultimately re- o
o suit in greater confidence and o
o still greater prosperity. That @
o we as people may sec our G
faults and correct them, that Q
o we may look with charity up O
on the faults of others, that o
o we may deal justly and love o
mercy, that we may be CRATE o
o full for all our blessings, let US o
devote Thursday, November o
2sth, to prayer and praise, to o
heartfelt thanksgiving, and to o
the doing of good deeds" o
