GEORGE ON THANKSGIVING

Thankssivin' day comes once a year because the
Pilgrim band
Was thankful that they had the sense to leave
their native land
And come across the sea to find a stern and rock
bound shore
Where they would never haft to bow to bosses
emmy more,
Where thieves would not break in and steal and
trusts would never try
To eobbIe everything ard let the little dealer die.
We celebrate Thankssivin' day because the Pill
grims came
In search of freedom where they knew that they
would find the same,
Where men would be as brothers, where the
strong would aid the weak,
Where Iibburty would raise her flag on every
crag and peak,
Where biIlionaires would never dare to cheat
for profits sake
Or break the laws that other men were not al
lowed to break.
W. celebrate because the hopes hoped by that
Pilgrim band
Have all come true, because there's not an evil
in our land,
Because we have no wealthy rogues to plan and
plot and scheme
To make the libburty we claim a vain and empty
dream,
Because our magnates go to church and teach
in Sunday schools,
And everywhere from sea to sea the Christian
spirit rules.
We keep Thankssivin' day because the man who
does his best
To be an honest citizen is honored by the rest;
He may not have a share of stock or own a foot
of land,
But all our wealthy senators are glad to shake
his hand
And hear his plea and guard his rights with all
the jellus care
They ever give the interests Of any millionaire.
We keep the good old day because no idle rich
ignore
The pressing needs of those where Want 10
scratching at the door,
Because we have such freedom as the Pilgrims
wished to claim, /.
Because we never are oppressed and never
%spIotched with shame,
Because we've frightened Greed away and raised
our standard high
And kept the faith for which our sires were not
afraid to die.

suing a proclamation Of a public
Thanksgiving day. The invitation
was accepted, and in November,
1882, Plymouth colony and
Massachusetts Bay colony cele-
brated Thanksgiving day to-
gether in a manne pretty
much the same as their de-
scendants Of to-day, in re-
ligious service and feasting and
funmaking. The one noticeable
omission was the great football
game which marks the day in u
generation.
From 1852 until 1877 the New
England records show that 20 diff
ferent dates were set apart by the
various governors as days for pub
lie thanksgiving, and that with the
exception of the two colonies men
toned no two held the day on the
same date. The celebrations, how
ever, we're held in October or No.
vember.
In 1877, as other denominations
had crept into Plymouth colony,
over which the Puritan church had
no ruling, the governor decided
that it would be well to have the
power of fixing public holidays,
whether for feasting, praying or
funmaking," vested in civic au-
thority. Accordingly in that year
the first printed Thanksgiving day
proclamation was printed. Thanks
giving day proclamation was print
ed, setting November 25 as the
festival.
The law reads: That it be in
the power of the governor and as
sistants to command solemn dates
of humiliation by fasting, ETC., and
also, thanksgiving as occasion shall
be offered"
This shows that the law called
for only occasional" Thanksgiving
days and so the holiday was buff
feted about hither and yon, from
October to November, according to
the pleasure of the rulers of the
colonies and there never was any
feeling of certainty as to the holi-
day.
That it was held annually with
