Aswell Still In The Race,

When asked for a statement
on the political situation, in view
of the Leagues actions DR.. AS
we'll replied very tersely but very
vigorously:
II have just mailed to the
Governor my resignation as pres
ident of The Normal.
II am extremely busy and
can't say much this morning.
II announced as a candidate
for Governor subject to the will
of the Democracy of Louisiana.
In that candidacy | seek the sup
port of all Democrats; but no
man or clique can settle this
question or swerve me from my
course. | announced to the peo-
Pile and the peoples verdict is
what / shall abide by. No man
can misconstrue my resignation
today.
II was the first candidate to
announce and the first to state
his platform. Two other candi-
dates have since announced, one
has withdrawn, and a fourth has
been put up. Two, platforms
have recently been published.
With slight changes they are
reptitions of my platform and,
incidentally. afford a very strong
Endorsement of the policies
therein stated. The needs of the
State are plain and the important
question is the man who can and
will put the reforms into execu-
ton. Well meet on the hust-
ings. Let the people decide.
Absolute good faith in deal
ing with the people and perfect
fidelity to every pledge given is
the highest law of political
morality under a constitutional
government.
The fight is on. The candi-
dates are out in the open. The
line of battle suits me. Meet US

A man in St. Louis signed a
contract with his wife by which
he agreed not to kiss or annoy
her in any other way. He must
have been an excessively agree
able sort of husband if it was
necessary to exact this contract.
Evidently, this particular wife
did not agree with Shakespeare
that kisses are women's wages.
Perhaps, though, she disliked
them because she got no others.

THANKSGIVING SOON AGAIN.

THANKSGIVING SOON AEfIN.
President Taft recently issued his
annual Thanksgiving proclamation
Soon the governors of the different
states which have been observing it
will re-procIaim the order, and the
only state created religious holiday
will be celebrated again.
When Governor Bradford issued
his call for a three-day festival dur
ing which to offer thanks for the
bounteous harvest for which the Pill
grims had so hungriIy hoped. he was
not adding a new holiday to the rath-
er meager list. Away back in time,
81 Biblical lore tells us, the Canaan
ties had such a holiday. Later the
Jews. who initiated a good many of
the Canaanite customs, celebrated a
similar holiday, Succoth, the Feast
of Tabernacles. Moses made specific
mention of it in the Old Testament,
With detailed instruction as to its OBJ
servanc,-. The Greeks had their
ThesmophOria, on which day they
made many offerings of corn and
fruit and little pigs. The Romans
had their Cerelia, which begun with
a fast. only to end with a riotous
feast.
Coming down to more recent
times, England has her Harvest
Home, which George Eliot so admir-
ably described in Adam Bede, and
Scotland has her Kern. This holi-
day of Thanksgiving can be traced
clear back to the time of Egbert and
the Saxons.
But our Thanksgiving did not be-
gin with Governor Bradford's proc
lamation. 1t was not until some
years later that another Thanksgiv-
ing Day was proclaimed. This time,
perhaps even more than the time be-
fore. the Pilgrims had good reason
to be thankful The winter had been
severe. and the summer was dry
Their supply of food had run short,
and famine was inevitable Captain
Standish was sent to the Indians to
beg assistance, but his chances of
procuring any were very slight. The
seasons had been hard for them too.
Just then ship was sighted heading
toward them. The ship proved to
be filled with provisions. Thanks
giving was indeed in order, and it
was given. The holiday really dates
from this time on.
In 1880 Boston held public.
thanksgiving and the following year
they held another one, after another
ship had relieved an oncoming fam
ire. 1t was not until 1877, however,
that the first regular proclamation
was printed. Massachusetts, issued
it. Not until 1865. after President
Lincoln had proclaimed it. did it be-
come a national holiday.
Thanksgiving prayers are the only
prayers in which all sects may con-
sistently join. There is no year so
full of misfortune but that there is
some cause for thanks. If nothing
more, we might be thankful that that
misfortune was not any greater than
it was.
