WILSON ISSUES HIS FIRST
THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Washington, Oct. 24.-President Will

Thanksgiving Day and issued the fol.
lowing-his first Thanksgiving procla
nation:
The season is at hand in which il
has been our long-respected custom as
people to turn in praise and thanks
giving to Almighty God for his mani
fold mercies and blessings to us as a
nation. ...
THE year that has just passed has
been marked in a peculiar degree by
manifestations of His gracious and be-
Inefficient providence. We have not
only had peace throughout our own
borders and with the nations of the
world, but that peace has frightened
by constantly multiplying evidence OF
genuine friendship, of mutual sympathy
and understanding, and of the happy
operation of many elevating influences
both of ideal and of practice.
THE nation not only has been pros
porous but has proven its capacity
to take calm counsel amidst the rapid
movements of affairs and deal with its
own life in a spirit of candor, right
eousness and comfy. We have seen
the practical completion of great
work at the Isthmus of Panama, which
not only exemplifies the nations

it will and the distinguished skill and
capacity of it's public servants, but

hibiting liquor shipments into legally

force legislation that will virtually
eliminate intoXicants from her Dor

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1913-10-24

Kansas which once was laughed at by
the islanders of Manhattan as dead
broke and done for!
She hasn't as many people as some
of the other states, but man for man
she creates wealth faster than any
other; she keeps her own healthier and
richer than any other, and offers for
the worlds consideration a record of
moral and material progress the like
of which has not been seen since civ
ilization dawned in the valleys of the
Nile and the Euphrates.
Though forced to acknowledge this,
we cannot help thinking it strange.
The people who settled Kansas were
not different, on the whole. from those
who pioneered in Illinois, Iowa and
Nebraska. Nor are the soil and eli
matte conditions greatly unlike. In
deed, the odds are unfavorable to
Kansas, so far as natural conditions
are concerned. Yet many of the facts
here arrayed could not be spoken of
these states.
So something would seem to be the
matter with Kansas.
Something is the matter with her.
That something, we believe, can be
boiled down into these first fourteen
words constituting an amendment
made to her constitution in 1881.
THE manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquor shall be forever pro
hibited in this state"
1t is this fundamental provision
fought and evaded in some localities
as it was for a quarter century, and
strictly enforced in all parts of the
state only within the last five years
that has helped Kansas to flaunt q
! two-hundred- million bank account ir
the face of partial crop failure; that
relieves her of spending much time
strength and money on paupers, Grim
inals, insane and feeble-minded; thai
/ gives her people the best of chances
for living and the fewest excuses fol
dying.
It is this defiance of what othel
states have legalized as a necessary
evil that has helped to make her citi
zens the richest per capita in the coun
try and the richest of any agriculture
folk in the world; that has given her {
permanent school fund of $10,O00,OOO
and has reduced her illiteracy to al
almost negligible quantity.
It is this insistence upon wha
slaves of custom always have sneeret
at as "impracticable," if not impos
sible, that has helped to give her g
balance of more than million and g
quarter in her state treasury and nc
bonded debt, save $$37O,OOO held BY
the permanent school fund; this alone
that makes possible the statement that
SO per cent of her 100000 school chill
dren never have seen a saloon.
| For even while the liquor interests
succeeded in evading the law in many
instances and boosted that prohibition
was a failure in Kansas, government
statistics showed that the average an
nual consumption of Intoxicating
liquors in that state was $1.4S per cap
tia while in the neighboring state Of
Missouri, where the whisky ring ruled
it was $24 per capita
In other words, the average Kansar
had just $2252 more to spend on food
clothing, education and entertainment
than his average neighbor across the
Kaw. And just about that time more
to save on doctors, nurses, fines, jails
/ poorhouses and insane asylumns. And

A few days ago, when the whole
! country was worrying about the UNI
precedented heat and drought in the
West the Governor of Kansas issued
a public statement saying he hoped
no one would waste pity on the peo-
pie of his state.
He told the world they were taking
! the medicine nature at some time or
other deals out in some way or other
to every community and that no peo-
pie ever were so well prepared to meet
situation.
with more than $2OO,OOO,OO0 on de-
post in our state and national banks,
we could weather a worse storm than
this without hardship" he said.
And when you stop to think that
this money, divided equally among the
men, women, children and babies of
Kansas, would give each of them $11S
in cash, not to mention the tidy sum
of 81 1874 each is credited with as his
or her share Of the states. assessed
wealth, you can see the force of the
argument. ".rf.
AS a matter of fact, Kansas, which
last year produced $325,OOO,0e0 worth
of farm products, can better afford
such roasting and drying up than
any other state in the Union, for her
per capita wealth is larger than that
of any other state.
She can better afford this or any
brand of calamity, for her people are
not constantly paying out huge sums
for the care and keep of criminals,
paupers, insane and feebleminded
In 81 of her 105 counties there are
no insane. In 81 of this number are
! no feeble-minded. Ninety-siX counties
have no inebriates, and in the other
nine they're as scarce as hens teeth.
Thirty-eight county poorhouses are as
empty as a last years locust shell
and most of these have been so for the
,best part of a decade.
The pauper population of the state
falls little short of 600. That is one
pauper for each 5000 of the kind max
ing a living, and a good One-the kind
that now own $255O00,000 worth OF
livestock and in the last twelve
months have added more than $4,000,
900 to their taxable personal property
At one time not long ago the jails
in 50 counties were empty and g.
counties were on the roll as having nc
prisoners serving sentence in the pen
itentiary. Some counties have moi
called a jury to try criminal case in
ten years, and the encouragement
says "a grand jury is so uncommon
that half our people wouldn't know
what 1t is and how to use It,"
For still other reasons Kansas can
afford to lose two-thirds Of one corn
crop without having to renew the
calamity bowls which once went rasp
ing through the nation from that
Grassy quadrangle whose dream is
the realization of the impossible" and
which for twenty-five years has been
making that dream come>true.
Instead Of being plastered from end
to end with mortgages held by east
arnarS as was the caca two daoo oc
ago, her own people this year hold
more than $67,OOO,OOO in this form OF
wealth, an increase of over 500 per
cent in five years.
Instead of being hampered by a
large mass of illiterates-thirty years
ago 40 per cent of her population came
under this head-Her present ration of
2 per cent, is next to the lowest in the
land and two-thirds lower than Mas
sachusetts, including Boston.

IRELAND'S POPULATION STILL
 DECREASING

There are 5N.250 separate families in Ireland who each occupy only one room and there are 172 families who do not get even that much space in which to HVo-th"ir home is q share of a room
 These are two of the many interest ing facts disclosed by the general re port upon the last census of Ireland issued recently. Another is that the population of the "distressful country" shows d decrease of 154 per cent dur ing the ten years following the census of 1901. one province alone G.cfnstcr) showing q slight increasc-no more than o.o> per cent
 The total population in April 12lI. was 4.&9o.2go o2.192.o4S males and 2.19>,171 fcmaIo4). as compared with 4.45S.175 in 1901.
 The religious statistics give the foI- lowing interesting results:
 Roman Catholics .........1% 2 Der cent ProttStant EpiscopaHans 13I per cent PresbNtcrians ..... ......10.o per cent NcthodiSts .....-..... If per cent other dcnominatouS .. =. 1.5 per cent
 In 96G6 cases oue-roomcd tencmcuts were occupied by five. six or seven persons. and in 1951 cases the occu- pants of single room exceeded seven iu number. There Were thirty-uine eases of a dozen or more persons oc- cupyin2 the same room.
 The cause of the decrease in p,pl- Iation is clearly shown in tho Irish emigration statistics for the past wear. During tI" twelve months I5G75 males and 1f124 females left tho country, the cmi1ration rate being 6.7 pr thousand of the population
 Since 1891. f2f72to Irish people have cmieratcd. the striking fact in regard to this total being that it represents >1.1 per cent of the average popula- ton of the country. Muuster~ contri- button to tine total equals lo9-9 per cent of her average population,
 And it is the most virilo part of it's population that Ireland is still losing Roughly. tWo-thirds of last years emi- grants were between T. and p years ot age.

He made some statements that, fl true, would make it impossible for me, for the protection of the com pany. to allow him to further remain in the company's employ. l gave Ward every opportunity to present his side and instead of helping his side he made almost the same sort of remarks in leaving my office as he was charged by Inspector Bush with having made.
