Thanksgiving Proclamation

President Taft has issued the follow.
ing proclamation, setting aside Thurs.
day, November 25th, as Thanksgiving
Day:
The season of year has returned
when, in accordance with the reverent
custom established by our forefathers,
the people of the United States of
America are wont to meet in their usual
places of worship on Il day of thanks
giving appointed by the chief magis-
trate. to return thanks to God for the
great mercies and benefits that they
have enjoyed.
During the past year we have been
highly blessed. No great calamities or
flood or tempest or epidemic of sickness
has befallen us. We have lived in
quietness, undisturbed by wars or
runners of wars. Peace and plenty of
bountcous crops and of great industrial
production animate cheerful and
resolute people to all the renewed
energies of bencfcicnt industry and
material and moral progress. 1t is alto
gether fitting that We should humbly
and gratefully acknowledge the divine
source of these blessings.
Therefore 1 hereby appoint Thurs
day, the 2Jth day of November. as n
day of general thanksgiving and / call
upon the people on that day, laying
aside their usual vocatiOns 10 repair to
their churches and unite in appropriate
services of praise and thanksgiving to
Almighty God.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed
Done ut the City of Washington, this
10th day of November, in the year of
our Lord, one Thousand nine hundred
and nine, and i'll the Independence of
the United States the one hundred and

which to be thankful. Even those
who are supposed to be miserable
from one years end to the next, the
inmates of jails, prisons and hospitals,
cheered up under the influence of the
season. They are thankful at least
for the bountiful dinners which will
be given them. and the relief from
the usual routine.
1t made no difference whether the
Thanksgiving dinner is eaten in the
mansion on Fifth avenue by the mil
lionaire and his guests, in the thou
sands of more modest homes, in the
tenements of the poor, in the refugees
where Charity spread the board. by
prisoners in the jails or by patients
in hospitals-the same spirit reigns
and the day is given over to enjoy
mcnt OF good cheer.
Perhaps those whom the law has
deemed 1t wise to keep under stern
control appreciated the day for the
slight liberty it gave them. more than
others, Warden Frost gave the pris-
oners a bountiful breakfast, includ-
ing chicken, hot biscuits. mince pic.
fruit and cigars, and following it with
minstrel and vaudeville perform
ance. in which only inmates partici-
pated.
In the hospitals it was the same
story, except in the cases of those
who were too sick to care whether it
was Thanksgiving or not. One of
the prettiest and. at the same time,
most pathetic sights was the celebra-
ion in the childrens ward at Roose-
welt hospital, where all the little ones
who were well enough, were fed on
fruit cakes and candy, besides having
the ward decorated with flowers and
bunting
1t is estimated that about 100000
people will be made happy during the
day by free dinners, At the same
time, the hotels and restaurants of the
city will be richer by several thou
sands of dollars expended by the
wealthy and well to do diners.
But in New York. as elsewhere, il
is in the homes where love abounds
that the real Thanksgiving spirit is
made manifest. In hundreds of thou
sands of metropolitan homes today
turkeys are sizzling in hot ovens, tons
Of cranberries are transformed into
the most delightful sauce, and every
body is peparing for fesat.
