Washington. The San Diego

that city. On reading the item
it was disclosed that the county
auditing committee found the
monss in the treasury. Howev-
er the fact was shown that the
liberal people of Sandiego had
not handed over their cash to
Col. D. C. Collier to pay for the
Panama-C California Exposition,
but had saved something with
which to pay taxes, and buy au-
tomobiles.

A careful analysis Of the returns
is far less reassuring to the Demo
Gratis than was first thought, and
there Is even less comfort for the
Progressive party. IL is plain that
Gov. Wilson will be known as a
president by accident, since. in pract-
ically no states, except the southern
states does he win ever Taft and
Roosevelt combined. This means that
he could not have won over a united
Republican party.
In confirmation Of this view, take,
for instance the vote in New York
Wilson OS,S5l. Roosevelt: and Taft
combined Sl5,349, Taft leading the
Progressive candidate by 62,4Sl. New
York then may be called Republi-
can state.
Tho result in New Hampshire s
similar: Wilson 1888, Taft and Roose.
welt combined 4S,92G. Taft leading
Roosevelt by 1906.
Ohio, Wilson l76,622. Roosevelt aud
Taft combined 2l3,O3O, TAFT leading
Roosevelt by 42,62O. In Rhode Island.
Wilson 3O,O97, Taft and Roosevelt
combined 44.145. Taft leading Roose-
welt ,26i.
Massachusetts: Wilson 17O.995, Taft
and Roosevelt combined 292 ,4O7, Taft
leading Roosevelt by l2.lO3.
Connecticut: Wilson 1l,S36, Taft
and Roosevelt 597, 7,79l. the Taft plural
ity over Roosevelt being 1868.
And so 1t goes the combined Re
publican and Progressive vote in near.
ly every state north Of Mason and
Dixon's Line being more than the
Democratic vote, the difference be-
ing that in Michigan. Illinois, Iowa.
Kansas. and some of the Western
states Roosevelt was In the lead Of
Taft
1t would s,em that the Progress
sives could goi but little comfort out
Of the result, since 1t is plain that
II Mr. Roosevelt had sought TO in
fluence the National Convention ut
Chicago as Mr. Bryan did the
National Convention at Balti-
more. and had used his influence
to get a Progressive platform instead
Of to forward his own personal ambi-
tion to be a third-term president. Mr..
Taft or the nominee. whoever he
might have been. would have been
an easy winner over Gov. Wilson.
The conclusion that enc can hardly
help from drawing is that the coun-
try has not given the Democratic
party license to do anything revolu-
tionary. the Democratic victory be-
ing due solely 10 a split in the Re
publican party, and Mr.. Roosevelt
being responsible for the Democmtic
administration. II 1t is successful
some of the glory will be his, but
(; Il Is not successful he must bear
n fair share OF the burden and the
people will turn TO President TAFT
and the Republican party in the
event OF its failure instead OF TO
Mr.. Roosevelt and the Progresslves.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Washington, Nov. Z. Pres. Tat
today issued the Thanksgiving pro-
clamation setting aside November ?S
for the observance of that day.
The proclamation follows:
by the President of the United
States of America:
"a Proclamation:
"a God-fearing nation like ours
owes it to it's inborn and sincere
sense of moral duty to testify its
devout gratitude to the All Giver for
the countless benefits it has enjoy
ed. For many years 1t has been custo-
mary at the close of the year for
the national executive to call upon
his ow-countrymen to offer praise
and thanks to God for tho manifold
blessings vouchsafed to them in the
past and to unto in earnest supplica-
ton for their continuance.
"The year now drawing to a close
has been notably favorable to our
fortunate land. At peace within and
without, free from the pcrturbations
and calamities that have afflicted 9TH
er peoples; rich in harvest so abund-
ant and in Industries so productive
that the overflow of our prosperity
has advantaged the whole world;
strong In the steadfest observation
OF the heritage of self government;
bequeathed to us by our fathers and
firm in the resolve to transmit that
heritage unimpaired but rather i'm
proved by good use, to our children
and our children's children for all
time to come. the people Of this coun-
try have abounding cause for con-
tented gratitude.
Wherefore, l, William Howard Taft.
President Of the United States Of
America In pursuance of a long-estab-
lished usage and in response to the
wish Of the American people. invite
my countrymen, whcresoever they
may sojourn, to join on Thursday. the
2Sth day OF this month Of November
in appropriate ascripticn of praise
and thanks to God for the good gifts
that have been our portion and In
humble prayer that His great mer-
cies toward us may endure.
"In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal OF the United States to be affix-
ed.
Done at the City OF Washington

Common wooden clothespins, with
the name printed on them in ink.
make fine napkin holders for a few
days outing.
Use heavy MANILA wrapping paper
to roll out biscuits or pie crust on.
A bottle filled with ice water makes
a good rolling pin.
When one has many pieces Of cut
lery to wash, put them in a deep pail
or bowl with a colander underneath.
Pour hot water over them until clean,
then they will dry very easily.
When drawing threads in table lin.
en-, wet the strip to be drawn with wa
ter, and keep It wet while pulling the
threads, and they will draw out much
easier.
Use a crochet hook to knit the
thread dropped in a drop stitch stock
ing. then when fastened there is no
ugly strain.
A most beautiful as well as useful
tray may be made by framing any
rare lace or choice embroidery in q
wooden frame, cover the back with
felt to keep 1t from scratching the Ia
BILE, put handles on the ends and your
tray is ready.
When choice toilet soap wears down
to a thin piece. place It while wet on
a new cake, and when dry 1t will be
a part OF 1t.
Oil children's shoes with vaseline
and they will wear better and be wa
terproof.
Use a crater to remove a slight
scorch from bread or cake.
When cooling pies. place them on
raised surface so that the air may cir
culate under them. It will save the
crusts from being soggy many times.
Mend wells with hair and the rent

When leaving tubs for some time,
put into the bottom and well up on
the sides several thicknesses of paper,
then pour in several gallons of water.

MORE LOSSES FOR TURKS

Christian residents and native Chris

IL seems to be a fact, however, that
cholera in a severe form has broken
out among the Turkish troops, and
pestilence is added to the horror Of
the siege.
Almost driven out Of Europe. the
Porte is frantic, and is making con
slant appeals to the great powers,
that have so long guaranteed the
status of the Turks. Repeated visits
OF the Austro- Hungarian ambassador
to the Turkish Foreign Office have
given rise to reports of intervention

AMERICAN REQ CROSS
Appeal Of President Taft and the In
ternationaI Relief Board

To the Editor:
Sir: 1t is difficult to bring home
to the public in this country the APP
palling suffering involved in a win
ter war in the Balkans. Communica-
ton is difficult, the cold is intense,
and even rudimentary transportation
is matter OF extreme difficulty.
Moreover, the fighting in this partic-
ular war is likely to be Of an espe-
cially bitter and severe character,
while on the other hand the medi-
cal organization available is quite
inadequate to cope with the large
numbers OF wounded.
Reports have been received both
from our diplomatic representatives in
Turkey, the Balkan States and Greece,
and from the Red Cross Societies, of
the desperate conditions of the thou
sands of sick and wounded and the
inadequate medical service. With thes
reports have come urgent appeals to
the American Red Cross for aid.
The British Red Cross and those of
Continental Europe are sending out
medical detachments of doctors and
nurses and hospital SUPPLIES in order
to mitigate in some measure the ter
rible suffering entailed by such win
ter campaign.
Because of tho distance, the Ameri-
can Red Cross will not send expedi-
tions of trained pcrsonel, but 1t
earnestly appeals to the generosity Of
our people to aid the sick and wound
ed soldiers of all the countries in
volved.
Though an armistice may be declar-
ed, the great number of sick and
wounded must be cared for during
a number OF weeks and the troops
must remain under arms in the field
for months during the severe winter
weather, with all the suffering and
sickness this will entail
The services of the American Red
Cross will be rendered impartially to
all the combatants concerned, but it
is, of course, open to any subscriber
to designate donation for the spe-
cial assistance of one or the other
of the belligercnt parties, and instruc-
tions to that effect will be strictly
observed.
Contributions should be sent to the
American Red Cross, Washington, D..
c., to Mr.. Jacob II. Schiff, Red Cross
Office, United Charities Building, New
York City, OF any other local Red
Cross treasurer.
