~HE first Thanksgiving procla-
nation by a president OF the
United States was made for
n y-five years ago. Lincoln was
the president who did it.
When = president issues his procla-
nation, naming the last Thursday in
November as the day (this year it falls
or the 25th). the governors Of the sew
eral states follow with their procla-
nations. each calling upon the people
OF his state to give thank to Almighty
God for what they have received dur
Ing the preceding year. That makes
Thanksgiving day.
The observance Of a day for giving
thanks and Offering prayer dates back
to 1921. when Governor Bradford sug-
gested II to the New England colonists
after their first harvest In 1923 there
was famine in New England. and
the people met for fasting and prayer
While so engaged a copious shower
fell. md the day was turned into
thanksgiving. The custom Of meetinr
70 give thanks once a year followed I'm
New England. and It has become uni
versal in the United States. During
we Revolution congress recommended
A day Of thanksgiving annually.
While THANKSGIVING day is observed
AL over the land in the same spirit
generally different sections have GER

H|LO BONDS SELLS
At ONE HUNDRED
Stocks Are Rather Quiet and
Prices Not Up to the
Mark.

Hilo railway bonds sold at 100 on
the Change yesterday. One thousand
dollars worth brought that figure, and
the closing bid was 1912, 25 cents
higher than the last preceding sale.
Owners are holding out for 100.25, how
ever, and did not seem overly anxious
to sell.
Stocks generally were rather weak.
There was but little trading and the
prices realized were not up to those
which have prevailed during the past
few weeks. Two hundred shares of Ha-
waiian Commercial & Sugar were sold
between boards at $3.50, drop OF ST.
from the figure of the last recorded
sale. During the session, two other
small sales were made at the same
figure. The closing quotations were
3d. % bid, 33.625 asked.
Honolulu Brewing & Mating showed
a little stronger. With the last pre-
vious sale at 1925, few shores were
sold at $3.50. Holders were asking
zo.do when Tie seSsloH c1OSeu.
Waiaiua sold before the session at
113. This is the figure at which the
last previous sale was recorded. There
seemed to be many willing buyers at
that price, but holders were asking
1880. That is So less than the high
mark reached by the stock week ago
Oahu, which was selling at 80 the
latter part of last week, weakened a
little, and the sales recorded yester-
day morning were at 31.75.

made at Ala, an advance of cents

there IS no provision for the appoint
ment of such an official in case the
incumbent Of the city most dignifed
Office should die. Pending the calling
of special election, the counting OF
the votes, and the possible contest and
legal proceedings that might follow,
there would be nothing doing in the
Mayor line.
With the Territory the Secretary be-
comes Acting Governor in the absence
of His Excellency. In other cities
there is provision made for the NAM
ing of an acting executive. The San
Francisco charter. on which the local
tumble was modelled, has such a sec
ton; but the fathers of Honolulu IS
masterpiece carefully cut out that sec
ton. Ergo, no Mayor.

of Hawaiians the Congressional party
formed into receiving line and the
Lihueans passed along being cordially
met by the mainlanders. One old Ha-
waiian passed along with his lighted
lantern and walking stick in hand.
Representative Bartholdt made a
short address, referring to the warm
hospitality of the Kauai people as a
memory which would live long with
them. All the hospitality had been so
lavishly offered that he felt mere words

In the decorations the recurrence Of
the American flag so often.
He then introduced Representative
Miller as the silver-tongued orator Of
Kansas. Mr.. Miller made fine ad-
dress on American civilization, but re-
ferred to the high civilization afforded
IN these islands, so that when California
came into prominence its sons and
daughters received their early educa-
ton away down here in the Pacific.
He spoke of advantages and benefits
aeeruing from living under the Amer
len flag, and that Hawaii was certain
to benefit and be fully protected by it.
Representative Padgett of Tennessee
made an eloquent address, regretting
the poverty of his own language to ex-
press adequately the deep sense Of ap-
probation and gratitude which all felt
at the magnificent reception rendered
them. His address was poetic. He
said that although separated by 1000
miles of sea, the ocean was not wide
enough to separate the mainland from
HaWaii; the island mountains were not
nigh enough to divide us from the
parent land nor the gulches deep
enough to hide us from it. In what
ever matters Hawaii needed attention

count on the help Of those who had

The whole difficulty arises from the
fact that the trainers of the charter
failed to make provision for an act
ing Mayor, during the absence of the
city S chief executive. The Board of
Supervisors may elect a chairman who
snail have authority to call meetings
