GOVERNORS THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Designating Nov. 27 Thanksgiving
Day-He Quotes: The. Lord Is My
Shepherd, Shall Not Want"

Austin, Tex.-Governor ColQuitt Sat
/ urday issued proclamation designat-
ing Thursday, NOV. 27, as a day of
/ thanksgiving, singing and prayer. The
full text of the proclamation follows
There should be. and always is, a
season of joy and thanksgiving. Most
every human, during recourse of his
life, experiences the agreeable sun
shine of ease and abundance; it is
equally true that most OF us, at some
period, meet with calamity and dis
appointment.
We are now blessed with plenty
the Giver of All Gifts has been kind
to the people of Texas. Let US, there
fore, with songs of thanksgiving, feel
as David did, that
The Lord is my shepherd; | shall
not want.
> He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures; he leadeth me beside
the still waters.
3. He restoreth my soul; he lead
eth me in the paths of righteousness
for his. names: sake.
f. Yea, though l walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,~I will
fear no: evil: tor thou art with me; !;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
8. Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies;
thou .anOintest my head with oil; my
cup runneth over.
g. Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life;
and / shall dwell in the house of the
Lord fOrever-(23d psalm.)
While we are blessed with plenty,
and are returning our thanks there
for, let us not forget the importance
of prudential living--let us not be
wasteful and spend our bounty in
''riotous living" but conserve our sur
plus, so that we may give freely of
it if need be to those less fortunate
than ourselves.
Now, therefore, in harmony with
the proclamation of the president of
the United States of America, and in
accordance with custom, l. o. B. Col
quit, governor of Texas, do hereby
designate and: proclaim Thursday,
Nov. q, 1913, as a day of thanksgiv-
ing, singing and prayer to the God
of all nations for his goodness and
loving kindness to the people of orr
great commonwealth, and the due OBJ
SeryatiOn of same is redliested in all
places of public worship
In testimony whereof, l have here
unto signed my name and caused the
great seal of the state to be affixed
hereto at the city of Austin, Texas,
this the Sth day of November, A. D.
1913. o. B. Colquitt,
Governor of Texas.

CABINET STANDS BACK OF PRESIDENT
Effacement of Huerta Necessary to
Pacification-No Withdrawal
Step Possible.

Washington. - President Wilson's
cabinet stands firmly behind him in
his efforts to force the retirement of
Provisional President Huerta as a
step necessary to the pacification Of
Mexico.
The cabinet Tuesday discussed
every phase of the Mexican situation,
and the consensus OF opinion was
that the United States government
should not make a single. backward
move in its announced program look
ing TO the restoration OF constitutional
government in the southern republic.
Though cabinet members were reti-
cent after the meeting, it became
known that all Of them favored steps
which would convince Huerta that the
United States is in earnest i'm its de
mand that he eliminate himself from
the situation. On the question of rails
ing the embargo on arms the cabinet
members expressed various opinions
Some of them recognized in this meth
Cd a practical and perhaps early So
luton of the difficulty, but there was
no final decision on the point.
There is a hope on the part OF both
the president and Secretary Bryan
that a measure so radical as permit
ting expectation of arms may not be
required to solve the problem Infiu-
ences are at work which, in the Opin-
ion of many officials, may force the
early collapse of the Huerta regime
What the United States is seeking
is an acquiescence in its policy by the
powers. such as approval to carry
with it discouragement of financial
aid to the Huerta regime through
any foreign subjects. a few weeks
of financial isolation, it is believed by
high officials, would force the retire
ment of Huerta.
1t is reported that in this connec-
ton, too, the president may announce
the reputation, in advance, of any
acts of the new congress which Gen
eral Huerta has said will be convened
Nov. 20.
