Kaiser's government were determined
TO provoke French hatred of Germany to

France will be forced into war as she
WAS when Bismarck falsifed the Emser
dispatch in 1870. The war against French
sentiment and French language in the
lost but not yet conquered provinces of
Alsace-Lorraine has been renewed with
a severity and bitterness unknown since
the last years of the reign of the present
kaiser's grandfather.
The Alsatian-Lorraine souvenir has
been suppressed. Prominent leaders
like Able Wetterle, PRESS, and Langel,
as well as number of newspapers
written i'm French, are being prosecuted
i'm the most malicious manner. French
and Swiss citizens are being expelled
en- masse. the whole provinces have been
closed to national sportsmen without
any explanation whatever, and the
sociations of the war veterans of 1870
have been brutally dissolved.

A THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
By X. S.

We, of this Silent City, have every rea-
son to be thankful and should acknowledge
the blessings that are being best upon
us. There is, no doubt, grateful senti-
ment existing in the hearts of each and
every one of us for the setting aside this
day to be given in reverence. Therefore,
we should especially recognize the fact that
we are being kindly dealt with; that we
should more fully recognize the successful
efforts that are being made to solve the
moral problems which have confronted us,
that we should lift our hearts in glad
and thankful prayer and through it all
there will be distant awakening of a
higher purpose and sterner determine
tion to realize its complete fullness that
exists for us on this glad and glorious
Thanksgiving Day.

My readers, think of the blessings
this noted man has received by COM
ing to America. Can you doubt his
sincerity and genuine thankfulness
on this our national holiday? If he
has reason to be thankful, surely,
those who can claim it as a birth,
right should show by their behavior
that it is not matter of indifference
to them.
Then for one day at least. even if
we are in prison. let us try to search
and discover some reason why we,
ourselves should acknowledge spir-
it of thankfulness in our hearts, and
as reminder allow me to inform
you that in some prisons no holiday
dinner is served and in others no
educational system is permitted as
it is thought it places premium on
crime. We can be thankful that a
wise and benefcint management has
punctured and sldetracked the old
prison beliefs and thus if for no
other reason we can be truly thank
full for what we enjoy today

A prosperous year has nearly
cycled. and the day of Thanksgiv-
ing with it's rich harvest of our
sustenance and its bountiful harvest
Of good deeds we'll done, as well, is
but another evidence that, AS ye
have sowD so shall We reap"
Thankful? Yes; for there comes
a voice from deep within proclaim
ing gratitude and sincere joy in
answer to our faith in God and
Brother Man. Rejoicing in the
bounty of blessings given so freely
and unstintingly by Him, who
ever trusts, though we err and see
not the value of mercy
On this day, we turn instructive
ly to other days of like nature
and note with humiliation the uu-
worthy partakers we were of His
bounty, and with what selfish
desire we sought not the blessings
that garland the gifts that we cared
not to understand.
But we are thankful, this day,
for in the distance of our past we
harken to the voice of lost regrets
and opportunities ignored, know
ing with the wisdom of years, that
the Giver of all good things will
give again and deny us not in His
great love for suffering humanity.
Thankful still, through these long
and tiresome years of Incarceration,
that He who knows our weakness
gives us strength and courage to
meet the demands of restitution.
and fills our hearts with desire for
the better things that human life is
worthy of, and begs for in the hour
of temptation.
Grateful are we, who stand not
beneath the sunshine of the world
without, that through these many
seasons we are still remembered by
friends and loved-ones who's loyal
ty we cherish as a precious gem.
The sincerity and trust displayed
in word and action when the hours
were darkest and when hope but
glimmered with feeble light, have
awakened our better self to strive
and conquer the inclination of evil

Mississippi Valley regard Thanks
giving Day as one of our national
holidays to be spent in pleasure
and festivity. Few of the millions
who come from other countries ap-
preciate the true significance or
real meaning of the day, while to
the native born. American the So
cial changes have utterly obliberat-
ed whatever reverence he may have
derived from the boyhood teach
ings of his mother.
No one but a native born New
Englander can ever feel the true re-
ligious spirit that prompted the Pill
grlras to gather together on each
anniversary of their settling at Ply
mouth and offer a prayer of SUI
preme thankfulness for the preser-
vation of themselves and families.
Thus the day was originally a day
set apart for prayer; day of fast
ing, humiliation and of acknowledge
ment of the mercy. goodness and
benevolence of the Supreme Being.
In our own day, amid the rush
and turmoil of the making of a
mighty nation let us be thankful
that we inherit from our fOrefathers
one day when we can call halt
and with reverent spirit consider
our relations to our God and Max
er. In the peaceful seclusion of
our homes, away from the debasing
influences of our commercial life,
we can ask ourselves the all i'm
portant question as to our relations
with God. For one day the God
of our fathers rules and we try to
put in practice the beautiful teach
ings of that great and good man,
Jesus, the Christ. For one day at
least let us forget to worship at the
gilded shrine of Mammon and cease
to chase the golden dollar to its
lair.
In old New England today, in
every city, town, village and ham,
let the church bells ring for SER
vices, the governors proclamation
is read by the pastor at its close
the congregation unite in sincere
prayer to God in thankfulness for
the mercies showed them, for their
health and family joys. This spir-
it of reverence, the spirit Of gral-
tude to the Beneticept Ruler of the
universe is not unknown to other
lands and nations but what endows it
with peculiar significance and be-
slows upon it the stamp of new
era in the realm of religious
thought and action is the fact that
for many years the little bands of
men who gave birth to the obser-
vance of a day of thanksgiving
were men who were the backbone
of young nation; men who lived
what they preached. Who lived,
thought and acted according to the
dictates of their conscience. For
many years these men were domi-
nant in the affairs of Massachusetts
Bay Colony and as our country
grew and became a nation in it's
own right the defendants of these
Pilgrims broke out new paths in
the wilds of the western country.
Consequently nearly all Of our
western states have directly bene-
fitted in being settled by families
from the New England states.
Thanksgiving Day has a further
claim upon us as being one of our
two distinctive national holidays.
With Independence Day it came to
us with the birth of the nation, and
for this reason, if for no other.
should be sacred day.
What rugged, stern people they
were, these founders of mighty
state.

A SONG OF THANKSGIVING.

I'm thankful for the years are long
However long they be.
They still are aborers glad and strong
That ever work for me.
This rose | cut with careless shears
And wear and cast away.
The cosmos wrought thousand years
To make it mine day.
This lily by the pasture bars
Beneath the walnut tree,
Long ere the first mist formed in stars
Was on its way to me.
The laws of property relax
My neighbor's farm is fine:
I'm thankful, though he pays the tax.
The best of it is mine.,
No sheriff-s clutch can loose my grip
On fields have not sown.
Or shake my sense of ownership
In things do not own.
I'm thankful for my neighbor's wood.
His orchard, lake and lea;
For, while my eyes continue good.
own all can see.
I'm thankful for this mighty age,
These days beyond compare.
When hope is such a heritage
And life large affair.
We thank the gods for low and high,
Right, wrong las well we may),
For all the wrongs of days gone by
Works goodness for today.
Here on Times table land we pause
To thank the gods for all that was,
And is, and is to be.
I'm thankful for the glow and grace,
And winsome beauty of the Near
The greatness of the commonplace,
The glory of the here,
I'm thankful for mans high emprise,
His stalwart sturdiness of soul.
The long look of his skyward eyes
That sights far-off goal.
And so feel to thank and bless
Both things known and understood
And thank the stubborn thankfulness
That maketh all things good.
