WASHINGTON. Nov. s-Thanksgiving Day will be celebrated on
Thursday, November "a President Tafts formal Thanksgiving procla-
nation the second he has made IS Chief Executive. was made public at
the White House tonight It reads as follows:
"By the President of the United States of America, a proclamation:
This yea OF 1910 is drawing to a close. The records of population
and harvests, which are the index of progress, show vigorous national
growth and the health and prosperous wen-being of u communities
throughout this land and in u possessions beyond the sea These
blessings have not descended upon us in restricted measure, but over
flow and abound. They are the blessings and bounty of God.
I'VE continue tt b e at peace with the rest of the world. In all essen
tl matters or relations with other peoples ar harmonious with a n
even growing reality of friendiness and depth Of recognition of mutual
dependence. 1t is especially to be noted that during the past ear great
progress has been achieved in the cause of arbitration and the peaceful
settlement of International disputes.
Now, therefore, l. William Howard Taft, President of the United
States of America. in accordance with the wise custom of the civil
magistrate since the first settlement in this land, and with the rule

TATE CONTROL OF NATURAL RESOURCES.

m FEW years ago the State Legislature passed what was known
IN as the Delaware dam bill. 1t virtually made a gift of the
undeveloped water power in the State to private companies
with the right to construct dams and flood lands. The main OBJ
iective of the bill was to get private possession of the valuable
water power on the Delaware at Trenton. AS this is an interstate
river the consent of the Pennsylvania Legislature was necessary,
but the fishery and other opposing interests had their lobby at Har-
risburg and the scheme failed. But the law remains on the. statute
books of this State. This case presents only one evidence OF the
neglect and incapacity of the Legislature to safeguard and properly
administer natural resources. Nearly everything in sight in this
State has been appropriated by legislative consent, and now, when
II is vitality necessary for the State to conserve the water supply,
we find that private interests are so strongly entrenched that a long
battle must be fought in the Legislature and in the courts before
the State can carry out any real conservation policy. For many
years the Legislature was besought by patriotic men who foresaw
the needs of the future and feared the encrOachments of private
monopoly to put the watersheds under State control and regula-
ton, but act after act was passed giving rights and privileges to
private companies that will have to be bought back by the State
In the near future at a cost of many millions.

change, and, therefore, they would
vote for the Democratic candidates,
from governor down.
Betting is generally a good indica-
ton how an election will go, for the
men who make a business of laying
wagers on the result of an election do
not put up their money until they have
secured inside information from the
managers of the two great parties, n
they also put up money for the politi-
cal managers. The betting is all in
favor of Woodrow Wilson'S election, as
it was when the late George Werts
was elected governor against heavy
odds. POLITICAL OBSERVER.

aBe Bold, BE Bold, Be Not Toe Bold ~
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Many a battle has been sacrificed to
overconf1dence when nations have
been at war, and many a political
battle has been lost for the same
reason.
On the eve of election l am led to
make the somewhat trite remark be-
cause the supporters of Mayor Hauss-
ling appear to think that they will
have an easy road to travel to victory
tomorrow.
While the election OF DR.. Wilson for
governor seems to be assured, as
thousands of intelligent Republicans
will flock to his standard. that of
Mayor Haussling may be closer than
ONE people suspect. AS a matter of
fact. unless the Democrats rid them
selves of the idea of overcon1dence
they are liable to lose one of the most
popular men that ever graced the
mayoralty chair. The intense activity
displayed by the Republican County
Committee in making wholesale allega-
tions of fraudulent registration should
be a sufficient pointer to Mayor Hauss-
ling's friends that the guns are to BIZ
trained upon them tomorrow.
In other words, it appears to me thai
the Republicans have practically given
up all hopes of winning out in Newarh
for Mr.. Lewis, their ~gubernatorial can
didate, and will concentrate their fire
upon Jake" w. w.

woodrow Wilson's Task.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In his speech at East Orange on
Saturday Woodrow Wilson said: 'If
for no other reason than political ex-
pediency the Democratic party will do
more if elected than will the Republi-
can party" He means that the Re-
publican party mas been in power so
long that in order to Dust 1t from its
present position the Democrats would
have to do a great deal to convince the
people of the necessity of handing over
the reins of government to them. 1t
is true that the party for which Wood
row Wilson is the standard bearer
will have to keep its promises il 1t
wants to retain it's prestige. Fol that
reason the voters of New Jersey, If
they are wise, will vote for Woodrow
Wilson for governor.

Ms n a windy day last week prOmenaders and shoppers on the
u crowded business streets were choked by clouds of dust
that were also swept into the open doors of the stores o
damage goods. A succession of windy days may be expected in
November weather From whence come these clouds of germ
laden dust? They come from the neglected streets. The Board of
Works cleans the large and much-traveled main avenues and
neolects the rest of the city. The small streets and alleys seldom
r cleaned. Hence in dry weather when the wind arises the
fostering dirt heaps become dust and are whirled into Broad and
Market streets and into stores and dwellings, carrying innumer'
able disease germs. For some time past thu principal occupation
of the commissioners and heads of departments and many of the
employees has been politics. They are all out for. Gnichtel for
mayor. Never mind the streets and the dirt and never mind the
people choked with the dust blown from the dirt heaps. The i'm
portant thing is to elect Gnichtel and make the Board of Works
solid in IFS mower

TAFT INTERPRETERS IN NEW JERSEY POLITICS.

doesn't know. as a man who will make 1.-The highest type of Con-
gressman." was written at the solicitation of Senator John Kean,
and it displays the curious moral weakness of Taft READERS VIII
recall the positive statements by the President after his disastrous
experience in Maine and other States that he would not interfere IN
the politics of any State. So far from keeping his word, Mr.. Taft
has sent all his Cabinet officers to stump doubtful States and has
nermitted postmasters and other Federal officers to employ all the
influence and patronage of their offices for partisan purposes. Can
didate Runyon's defeat In the Fifth District will be a singing
rebuke to this breach of faith, as also to Mr.. Tafts more fragrant
breach of faith in favorng and signing the robber tariff bill that
hears the name Of his two chief advisers.

About Those Street signs, Again.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A few days ago one of your readers
wrote q letter complaining about the
poor street signs hat r in use at
present in the city, and the criticisms
of the writer were well founded. An
ether matter of a somewhat similar aa-
ture is the system of numbering houses
in many parts of the city. In some
streets the even numbers will be on
the right-hand side of the street, while
in the very next thoroughfare the even
numbers will be on the left-hand side.
There does not seem to be any we'll
defined system of numbering the houses
except in the sections hat have re-
Gently beer developed, and it is Ger
tain that in the older portions of the
city there is little or no effort made to
follow any uniform method of number
ing the residences.
This is, of course, a relic of the days
when the city was much nearer the
size of a village han it is now, but it
would seem that we nave grown large
enough now to justify the adoption OF
some more satisfactory system.
1 understand that the city undertook
to remedy some of the faults OF the
present system Of street numbering
about a year ago, but after straighten-
ing out a few of the principal streets
let the matter drop. Many OF our citi-
zens would like to see the work COM
pleted. WALNUT

night, the tension was relieved. That

during the stress and excitement of the
campaign will register its results quietly
at the polls tomorrow. This, also, is a

majorities during the heat of the polit-

It has been discovered in Texas that
the humble, night-blooming bat preys
upon mosquitoes. No tit-bit is quite
so acceptable to the bat palate, it is
said, as the musical swamp bird.
Therefore the health department of
Texas seeks to enjoin, through the
State Legislature, the killing of bats.
II this discovery is verified bats should
become the sacred birds of New Jersey.
This State should seek to be, so to
speak, intensely batty. Let our slogan

even the sensibilities of the bat by ref
erence to it's blindness or its lack of

Newark Day" the first, it is hoped
of a long line of them, is being observed
in the public schools of the city today.
School children are to be told of New

last decade. That superintendent in
whose brain the idea originated may
well be proud of it. There is no dearth
of material from which to taxi the sub
ject matter of the lectures" to be de-
livered by the teachers in the various
schools. The history Of Newark is as

may be read the assurance of a future

remainder of the world of football fans

off his glasses, rubbed them carefully,
replaced them, and reread the headline,
which, yesterday, summarized the grid
iron downfall of the Sons of Eli. The
new rules will naturally be held more
or less responsible for the reversal of
form shown by Yale-more in New
