THE FIRST THANKSGIVING

The first recorded Thanksgiving day. the Hebrew Feast of
Tabernacles and since that time many nations have observed days at df-
ferent times to commemorate dclverance of the people from national
calamity, to rejoice over success in battle, or O return thanks for aDund-
ant crops.
Our own special day a inaugurated by the Pilgrim Fathers in 1921
when the first little harvest had been gathered and Governor Bradford
sent foure men a fowing that we might after a special manner re-
Joce together"
With the growth of the colonies came frequent Thanksgiving days.
There we're not held annually OF did they always occur in the fall.
Massachusetts, Bay was the first of the colonies to appoint in 1886 an
annual thanksgiving by proclamation. All thirteen colonies held thanks
pointed such days, but after the general Thanksgiving for peace in 1884
there was no national appointment until 1889, when Washington, by re-
quest of congress, recommended 4 day OF Thanksgiving for the adoption
Of the constitution. Washington issued a second proclamation OF Thanks
giving in 1895 O n account of a suppression of N instruction. President
Madison recommended a day OF Thanksgiving for peace in 1915.
In 1874 Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, edhress of Godeys Ladys Book, began
through the magazine to urge that Thanksgiving day be made a national
festival.
During the Civil war in 1868 and 1864 President Lincoln issued proc
lamations recommending annual Thanksgiving days and since that time
proclamatons have been issued annually by the president as we'll a. by
the governors of the states and the mayors of the principal cities.

The re-eectio of KY Pttnan as senator from Nevada was a fore
gone conclusion. Any other result, at this juncture, would have been a
public calamity.
Our views have been expressed 81 often and so emphatic that it is
scarcely necessary to reiterate them here. However, lest some forget
we desire. to repeat that Key Pittman has reached the very topmost rung
in the ladder of American craftsmanship in an incredibly short period OF
time. ss->
In the brief space of four years he has reached a higher plane in
American diplomacy and craftsmanship than most men have been able to
do in a life time.
Hon. Key Pttman is a magnetic personality and wtha1 ne of the
most brilliant men who " graced a seat in the United States senate
from the Far West, or any other part of the United States for that
matter.
He is ato nce me O. the most popular and 1ovab1e lei who v
occupied a seat in that distinguished body. That is the verdict of his
friends and is admitted by his political opponents. Pittman is nos only
a political, but he is n intellectual giant and his star of destiny will

NOT THE FAULT OF THE SOIL

According to the Appeals Gardnervile correspondent the Southern
Pacific Railway company has bought the crop of potatoes raised by the
Boys club of the Carson Valley high school for its dining a service,
and IS stated by the correspondent the tubers mus have been of more
thar average quality to have attracted the attention Of the railroads pur-
chasing agents But what the boys ave done in raising a potato of par
excellence car be emulated by any farmer who gives the san care o his
product that the boys have done.
Western Nevada soil is peculiarly fitted for the cultivation of the
potato and it has been proved in hundreds of instances. Time was when
the Nevada "spud' a regarded as the best in the world and if it has
failed in maintaining that reputation the fault lies with the producer, not
with the soil or climate.

JOHNSON DID NOT BEAT HUGHES

The Appeal is not of those papers that believe that President
Wilson's victory in California was due in any part tt the weakness OF
Governor Johnson in supporting Charles f. Hughes. On the other hand
this paper believes that Johnson "a not only honest and sincere in his
support Of the Republican candidate, but that he held many thousands of
Progressive votes in line for Mr. Hughes. This fact a evident to every
on who followed the published reports of the speeches that Governor
Johnson made in his campaign Of the state; they were more for Hughes
than they were for Johnson.
Hughes defeat in California vas in the lain due to two facts. First.
he excited a prejudice against himself when he arrived there, as he did in
Nevada; second, the woman vote wen almost soidly for Wilson, despite
the efforts Of the Woman's party. which increased rather than dimin,
ished it.
So far Is Governor Johnson is concerned the Appeal believes he has
made the best executive California has ever had and though in the United
States senate he may not do o than George s. Patton, whom he de-
feated for the office, would do had he been elected, he. will always be
found O n the right side in progressive legislation.

WHAT THE VOTERS UP AGAINST

1t is entirely possible that the inability OF Sc many men and women
to find the name of either Mr.. Wilson O Mr.. Hughes O n the ballot
may lead in time to eecting the president by direct vote. What's the
sense in loading up the California ballot, for instance, with ffty-two
electors, some OF whom the average voter ever heard of before, when
what he wants is to vote for just one man? There's a lot of satisfaction
in stamping a cross directly after the name OF the mar you like and are
standing for through thick and thin.
There's a lot Of chance for the poor devil OF a voter who can't read
as fast as som others to mess things TIP and lose his vote trying to hurdle
those 6fytwo electors and land IL the right spot with his cross. Since
the electors no longer choose the president what's the use in confusing
the voter by ltteHng up the ballot with their names?-L. Claire Davis
