other times opinions have been many
to the effect that 1t would be detri'

interests OF the common people.
Well, now how about it, and what
does 1t mean? 1t simply means that
the people are permitted to transport

THANK SOLVING

Two hundred and ninety years ago
the Pilgrim colonists instituted day
of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
his goodness, his mercy and protec-
ton from the dangers of the deep
the trials of colonization, and the
troubles of the wilderness.
Various authorities differ little as
to the exact time when the holiday
first became part of the country's
affairs.
Governor Bradford, who ruled some
time between the years 1921 and 1856
was the first governor to issue pro-
clamation commemorative of the
event To be exact 1t was probably the
year 1922.
Successive reigns of the early col
onist governors made the day one of
the most important events in colonial
history, until today 1t is the only day
set apart as thanksgiving for the
mercies of God to his people during
the past years toll, so that IL has be.
come to be known as the great har-
vest festival and it has the official
Acknowledgement of presidents, gov
errors of states, and mayors of cities
II was not until the year 1889 that
the churches took hand in the mat
ter. But in that year, the Episcopal
church formally recognized the civil
governments authority to appoint
such feast. But it was not until the
year 1898, nearly one hundred years
later that the Roman Catholic church
also decided to extend the same hon.
ors to the festival.
Congress recommended annual
Thanksgiving Days during the revolu'
ton, and especially was this pro.
nounced in 1884 for the return of
peace after those troublous times.
President Madison, in 1915, alsC
made national announcement of
Thanksgiving Day.
In 1883. however, President Wash,
ington, set apart this day for Thanks.
giving, as it was commemorative OF
the adoption of the constitution, but
II was not until 1895 that II was of.
fered as holiday for the general vel
fare and benefit of the whole nation
Since 1917, the festival has been
observed annually in New York, but
it was not until the year 1868 that the
presidents of the United States really
put it up to the whole people, and
from that date it commenced to b,
an annual event.
The example was set by Abraham
Lincoln, the Man of Sorrows, and evei
since the presidents of the United
States have issued annual Thanksgiv
ing proclamations, recommending the
observance of the last Thursday In
November as Thanksgiving Day.
AS stated before, this is always fol
lowed by proclamations of governors
of states, who have the sole right t
call such holiday in their respectiv,
boundaries, but this governmental
proclamation, to make II doubly bind
ing and obligatory. is followed by
proclamation issued by the mayor
OF their respective cities.

there is a great speculation as to
who is to be the .beneficiaries in the
reduction. The rates have been re
duced there is no doubt about that
and the railroad companies are issu
ing new tariff circulars in accordance
with the reductions. The railroad com
panies then will be getting as much
money for moving the goods as they
did prior to the reduction, and the
proper place for the distribution of
the saving is among the consumers,
the common people II you please.
But will goods affected by the reduc-
ton be cheaper? Will the farmer pay
less for his wagons, mowers. reapers,
etc? Will the housewife pay less for
her dry goods? Will the consumer &C.
tuslly pay less for the necessities Of
life than he did prior to the reduc.
ton, or will prices be about the same
and the saving distributed among the
wholesalers and jobbers of the coun.
try?
These are questions that should ap.
peal To everyone. and especially the
farmer, and the laborer of the com.
munity. For months there has been
an awful howl about the high cost of
living, and remedy, partial remedy
at least, has been handed out, and
the time to check up and see is now
upon us. or course the question as
to the so-called common point rate"
may have some bearing on the case,
