Tho fact that Mr.. Smith has written

to momentus events during the preceding
twelve months If the country has been
satisfactorily delivered from internal or

proclamation requires two pages of fools
cap paper, as it did in the days when
penmanship was in vogue
The unknown author of our Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation is Mr.. Sidney Yost
Smith. and the general public knows of
him as the chief of the diplomatic bureau
of the State Departments most response
BILE position. When one stops to think OF
it, 1t is not at all strange that Mr.. Smith
should have been chosen years ago to pre-
pare the annual Thanksgiving bulletins.
AS a matter of fact. his regular duties
make him the best qualified man In the
government service for this sort of au-
thorship. AS the head Of the diplomatic
bureau it is the duty Of Mr.. Smith to con-
duct all Uncle Sans diplomatic CORE
spondence. not only with our embassies
and legations abroad. but also with the
branch offices OF foreign powers IN this
country Likewise does he prepare trea-
ties and all sorts of ceremonial letters
obviously he is thoroughly familiar with
diplomatic usage and has at his nnger
tips all the intricacies of ceremonial
phraSeologH.
Quite aside from his role as the Thanks
giving herald. Mr.. Smith has had most
interesting career during the twenty ight
wears that he has been in the service or
the State Department AS a young man
of twenty-four he started his career In the
department as clerk at salary OF $9UO
IA year and won promotion after promotlon
in rapid succession. His peculiar ntneS1
for the confidential work which is carried
on at the State Department caused him to
be selected as confidential clerk success
svely to Assistant Secretaries OF State
Davis Porter and Rives, and these same
Qualifications prompted his selection as
private secretary to the Secretary or state
during the terms of three OF our most IA
nous premiers. namely, Frelinghuysen,
Blaine and Foster.
OF course Proclamation Maker Smith
does not draft the Thanksgiving pro-
nouncement on his own initiative. He
waits for the officials at the White House
to call for ready-made document. At
fairs at the executive Offices are conducted
in a very methodical manner and no per-
son ever heard of the White House au-
thorities forgetting to prepare for
Thanksgiving proclamation or being be-
hind-hand with the task. When in the
course of the regular routine 1t comes
time to proclaim the November holiday
the Presidents secretary, in the natural
order of things. asks Mr.. Smith to prepare
proclamation. The only exceptions to
this procedure occurred during the Roose-
welt administration. There was created
something Of a sensation in the conserva-
tice precincts of the State Department
when Mr. Roosevelt. at the approach OF
his first Thanksgiving as President. made
: no call for a proclamation However, our
, youngest President rather prided himself

write his own Thanksgiving sermons
