SHOULD BEGIN

Now that the old year is drawing to
a close it is odd that one hears nothing
of the mummer's parade, which for so
many years has been striking and
unique feature of New Years day in
Danville. 1t is hardly probable that
our mummeIs, whose efforts have been
so much applauded in the past, intend
to let New Years pass by without the
time-honoIed carnival. 1t is more prob
able that there is only q delay and
that all that is needed is for some one
to take the initiative. There is little
doubt that, if a meeting were called,
the old time enthusiasm would be
shown and all would get as busy as
bees.
The fact to observe is that the time
is growing short. If there was any
single circumstance that initiated
against a full measure of success last
year it lay in the fact that the begin.
ming of preparations was postponed a
little too long. To get up something
new and elaborate IN the way OF make.
up and to properly carry out all con-
ceptions require in most instances, not
few days, but many weeks.
Danville was the first among the
towns of this section to adopt the
novelty of mummer's parade. Final
ly, there were many imi5ators, but our
town nobly maintained its prestige as
was demonstrated by the crowds that
assembled within its gates each year
to applaud the irth-producing feat
ures of the parade. Danville, there
fore. can not afford to drop out of the
contest at present.
1t is hoped that the leading and pro-
gressive spirits that the town seems to
rely upon to take the initiative in suoh
matters will not desert us in the pEes-
ent crisis. but will get together forth
with. BY so doing they may prevent
delay, which is always dangerous and
which in the case of the mummer's
parade would make it impossible to
achieve anything more than mediocre
results.

The interval will Cf course, be filled
with more or less agitation that may
restrain business and enterprise in any
way affected by tariff schedules. The
protective sentiment of the country is
so strong that radical changes seem
improbable The South, once free
trade. now largely protectionist. and
the Pacific coast is also much in favor
of high tariff. The country. how
ever, is in earnest about more revision
dowuwards. 1t does not want free
trade, but does desire some change in
schedules, that will aid in lowering
the cost of living, give manufacturers
cheaper raw materials and promote
commerce with other nations, especi-
ally Canada. At the moment the most
feasible changes in the tariff seem to
be such as would remove excesses and
promote reciprocity. President Taft :
policy of changing one schedule at IA
time should receive the support of all
business men who wish to see the tariff
reduced with as little disturbance as
possible. Another effect of the cleo
tion will be to insure more rational
attitude towards corporations and

But the regular annual observation
of our modern popular Thanksgiving
Day, does notsgo farther back than the
year 1868 year of victories for the
Northern armies, and one notable at
the same time for plentiful harvest,
when good old Abe Lincoln invited
hls fellow citizens to set apart the last
Thursday Of November of that year
KS day of thanksgiving and praise. "
He appointed the same day for the
same purpose i'll the year 1864, and the
same date (the last Thursday in Nov
ember has been) selected by svery one
of his successors, except in two single
instances.
Th first exception occurred in 1865,
when, it is said, the precedent establ-
ished by Lincoln escaped in some way
the attention of Andrew Johnson, and,
it being late in October when he was
reminded of it, he appointed the first
Thursday in December.
The second and only other occasion
was when u. S. Grant, in Proclama-
tion of October ), 1869, appointed Nov
ember l8. without assigning any rea-
son for his doing so; indeed, it may
have been done through inadvertence,
for in the very next year he reverted
to the customary "last Thursday in
the month" (Which then proved to be
November 24th).
