PRAISE THE LORD
For His Many Mercies and Blessin S
TO Us.

President Taft on Monday isued
his annual thanksgiving ,proclama-
tion, calling upon citizens OF the
United States to celebrate Thursday,
the Both day of November, next, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer. The
proclamation reads as follows:
"The people of this land, having
by long sanction and practice set
apart, toward the close of each pass
ing year, a day on which to cease from
their labors and assemble for the pur-
pose OF giving praise to Him who is
the author Of the blessings they have
enjoyed, it is my duty as chief execu-
tive to designate at this time the day
for the fulfument Of this devout pur-
pose.
BLESSINGS.
"Our country has been signally "a
vored in many ways. The round of
the seasons has brought rich harvest.
Our industries have thriven far be-
yond our domestic needs, the pro-
ducts of our labor are daily finding
enlarged markets abroad. We have
been free from the curses of pestilence,
of famine and of war. Our national
counsels have furthered the cause of
peace ii other lands and the spirit of
benevolence has brought Us into closer
touch with other peoples, to the
strengthening of the bonds of fellow
ship and good will that link us to the
comrades in the universal brotl ar
hood of nations. Strong in the sense
of our own right and inspired by as
strong a sense Of the rights of others,
we live in peace and harmony with
the world. Rich in the priceless pos
sessions and abundant resources where
with the unstinted bounty of God
endowed us. we are unselfshly glad
when other peoples pass onward to
prosperity and peace. That the great
privilege we enjoy may continue and
that each coming year may see our
country more firmly established in the
regard and esteem of our fellow ma
tions is the prayer that should arise
in every Thankful! heart.
"Wherefore, l, William Howard
Taft, president of the United States
of America, designate Thursday, the
3Oth of November, as day Of thanks
giving and prayer and l earnestly
call upon my countrymen and upon
all that dwell under the flag of our
beloved country then to meet in their
accustomed places of worship to join
in offering praise to Almighty God
and devout thanks for the loving mer-
cies he has given to u.s."

WOrnan'S Work.

The quiet faithful way iu which
woman of superior intellect, and de-
cided talent for higher things, will
dieh-wash her life away for her hus-
band and children, is marvel Of pa
tient endurance. Here the serYitude
of woman is the heaviest. No sooner
is her work done that it requires to be
done over again. Men take contracts
of work on them, finish them, and
they are over for all time. The pros
pect of ending them and drawing pay
for the labor is alluring. And wom-
ans work holds no such promise. She
washes on Monday after Monday the
~ame garments until there is no more
of them to wash; then they are replen-
ished by new ones like old, and the
rubbing and wringing goes on until
the wornout hands are folded for their
eternal and only rest. She mends
stockings, with tireless fidelity, week
after week, and year after year. Ev-
cry morning the same rooms are to be
put in order, only to be in the widest
disorder by evening. The same stock
ings, the same washing, the same
cleaning and cooking in endless rota-
ton, which, if done promptly and
properly, leaves no time for reading,
and self-culture which, aside from the
pleasure it affords the woman, is the
only means of fitting oneself for the
intellectual culture of children.
What wonder that women are not
thinkers, or that the daughters of sue
cessive generations are vapid, uncul-
tured creatures, incapable Of forming
al opinion on the most important sub
iects of human consideration.
There is too little brightness il the
lives of women. They have too little
help in their domestic occupations.

cree of divorce shall be granted except where
the State has been represented by a State
attorney at the hearing 1t embodies the law now
In effect in Oregon and it meeting with sup
port among lawyers and Judges mi Illinois. The
theory, of course, here Is that the State Is the
third party to every divorce and, therefore
has right to voice in any proceeding look
ing to the legal separation of man and wife.
Those who favor the measure insist that 1t has
worked well wherever tried.
In Illinois those inclined to oppose bring up
the matter of additional expense, saying it will
require probably two extra States attorneys
This would seem trivial objection II the law
promised any sort of relief. Good citizens may
well begin to view the alarming increase OF
divorces with deepest concern, for 1t is serious
problem, when one out of every twelve mar
rages ends in divorce, which is the ratio to-
day This ia an increase the last count

Captain Peary to the rank Of rear-admirai III INC

sition. Thus far he has not proseiyted single

The Arkansas statesman who reflects such lu-
minous dignity and honor his State by his
public utterances thinks very little of the Amer

does OF him, the score is probably even. He
styles the editors of two reputable and high

II is not necessary for the American press to
apply any such opprobriums to Mr.. Macon. The
public may form its own opinion.
Congressman Saunders, of Virginia, was
among those stirred by Mr. Macons objection
able and off ,nsiye utterances The attitude and
remarks OF the virginian were in strong con-
trast to those of the acrid and acrimonious Ar
kansan. In quiet dignifed and statesmanlike
way Judge Saunders took the rabid wildcat of
the Ozarks to task and defended Captain Peary
as an American citizen h naval officer, and dis
coverer who had brought great renown to his
native land. Judge Saunders spoke of facts
and figures and declared that Captain Peary
proofs had withstood every test and stood out
clean" The impression made b. the Virginia
congressman was far greater than that of the
Arkansas terror, and in the ultimate will have
infinitely more weight than anything Mr.. Macon
has said since the controversy arose.
