direct way of saving things. In one of

panic of 1901 Roosevelt referred frankly
to the bad financial conditions. ana eN-

should exist But he found ample reason
to be grateful for other things and ex
pressed his belief that the people of the
country generally would gladly join in

proclamation of 1913 vas written.
One bright and sunshiny morning In

went to his office after havinS completed
his light ana early breakfast. Where Sec
rotary p. Tumulty and such OF the
morning mail as reQui, I'd personal at
tenticri were awaiting him, After he
had outlined his answers to the various
letters the President glanced toward his
typewriter and rubbed his hands thought
fully.
Il think this is the day when I should
be publicly thankful " he said. or at least
something like that. Secretary j. F.
Tumulty glanced at his chiefs thought
fOi face fer a moment and stepped quietly
out of the room. The President was run
ming over in his mind the first draft of
the Thanksgiving proclamation.
He picked up pencil and idly tapped
his desk with it Perhaps he remained
in that position for five minutes. Then
he stepped lightly over to his typewriter

Thus was the first democratic Thanks
giving proclamation of twenty years pre-
pared And it is a noticeable fact that
this document was in itself epochal 1t
was remarkable in many ways.
President Wilson is probably the first
President that the nation has ever pos
Sessed who was his own stenographer
and typewriter. Many of his public
speeches and writings come from his own
typewriter before they are sent to an
other typewriter for copying. White House
Stenograp ers declare that il is not neces-
sary for the Presidents messages to be
copied in most instances. His writing is
so careful and there are SO few typo
graphical mistakes that they could really
go direct to the printer if il We're not
for the rules OF precedent.
In the instance of the Thanksgiuir"
proclamation the President ignored his
usual custom of writing the document

The man who suffered most when writ
ing proclamations and the like was for
mer President Taft AS almost every
body knows, the former President has a
wonderful ability of judicial expression
but he is hampered by his training when
it comes to writing something that is
purely eulogistice or commentary. His is
the style of language that is at its best
in interpreting He had a reputation when
