A Proclamation.

By the President of the United States
of America:
A Proclamation.
| at has long been the honored Gus
tom of our people to turn in the fruit
ful autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for His
many blessings and mercies to US as a
nation, That custom we can follow
now. even in the midst of the tragedy
of world shaken by war and immea-
surable disaster, in the midst OF sor-
row and great peril, because even
amidst the darkness that has gathered
bout US we can see the great bless
ings God has bestowed upon US, bless
ings that are better than mere peace
of mind and prosperity of enterprise.
1--WE have been gwen the opportun-
ity to serve mankind as we once serv-
ed ourselves in the great day of our
/ Declaration of Independence, by TAX
ing up arms against a tyranny that
threatened to master and debase men
everywhere, and joining with other
free people in demanding for all the
nations of the world what we then de-
manded and obtained for ourselves. In
this day of the revelation of our duty
not only to defend our own rights as
nation, but to defend also the rights
of free men throughout the world,
there has been vouchsafed US in full
and inspiring measure the resolution
and spirit Of united action. We have
been brought to one mind and purpose
A new yigor of common counsel and
common action has been revealed in US.
We should especially thank God that in
such circumstances, in the midst Of the
greatest enterprise the spirits Of men
have ever entered upon. we have, if we
but observe reasonable and practi-
cable economy, abundance with which
to supply the needs of those associated
with US as well as our own. A new
light shines about US. The great duties
of new day awaken new and great
er national spirit in u.s. We shall never
again be divided or wonder what stuff
we are made Of
And while we render thanks for
these things, let US pray Almighty God
that, in all humbleness of spirit, we
may look always to Him for guidance;
that we may be kept constant in the
spirit and purpose of service; that by
His grace our minds may be directed
and our hands streng thened, and that
in His good time liberty and security
and peace and comradeship of COM
mon justice may be vouchsafed all the
nations of the earth.
Wherefore, |, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States OF
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-ninth day of November
next as day of thanksgiving and
prayer, and invite the people through
out the land to cease upon that day
from their ordinary occupations and in
their several homes and places of wor-
ship to render thanks to God, the great |
ruler of nations.
I'm witness whereof [ have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
''Done in the District of Columbia
this 18th day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and seventeen and of the independence
of the United States of America the
one hundred and forty-second.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.

conditions which demand such legislation
is clearly shown by the increased majorities
by which congress has successively passed
the measure. From Maine to California pa
triots with one accord rejoice in the mag
nifcent majorities by which congress has
recently enacted the Burnett immigration
Bill into law, notwithstanding the veto Of
the president.
The plaintive cry Of Rome against this
legislation has ever been that 1t would ex-
clude Roman Catholic immigrants. That
complaint is whitening indictment Of her
own educational policies and methods In the
lands she has dominated many centuries
If Protestant immigrants can meet the
literacy test while Roman Catholics fail in
toto, there is no escape from the conclusion
that Rome has failed completely to educate
her people and has kept them in dense and
abject degradation and ignorance.
The U. S. Supreme Court
No other branch Of the government il
clothed with power so vast and unchallenged
and bearing so directly on the personal and
property rights of the people as the su
preme court of the United States. This
great tribunal sits in the old senate cham.
Der few steps northeast of the centra
rotunda in the capitol.
This richly-furnished semi-circular room
is model Of beauty and convenience. Al
the nine justices, clad in long black gowns
file into the room through the north dool
thereof, members of the bar and litiganti
! and spectators rise and remain standing
till the jurists take their seats in an ele
waited row behind the long desk across tn,
east side Of the room.
In this exalted forum the Constitution
has been construed, the powers and func
tions Of governmental departments defined
and the basic principles Of our stately anC
benehcent jurisprudence enunciated by tn,
ablest lawyers and jurists that the republic
has produced.
In the middle of the row Of Justices dti
Chief Justice Edward D. White Of Louisi
ana, Roman Catholic, educated in jesuit
schools. He was appointed to the suprem,
court by President Cleveland and, thougl
Democrat, was promoted to the grea
office of chief Justice by President Taft, {
Republican.
Immediately on the right Of the chief sit
Justice Joseph McKenna Of California, an
other Roman Catholic educated In part Il
Jesuit schools. He ranks second In author
ity and presides In the absence Of the chic
| justice. He was appointed by Presiden
Mckinley. It is reasonably clear that tn
Roman Catholic vote went to Cleveland Il
1892, to Mckinley in 1895 and to Taft Il
1908, virtually in Its entirety, and thes

retaries and stenographers the Knights Of
Columbus that throng the national capital
awaiting political appointments Of that
character. It is difficult to conceive any
political appointment that could be Of more
vital importance than that of secretary or
stenographer to one holding a great Office,
and in recognition of this Importance Rome
has been very diligent in her control Of sucf
appointments. sk
By similar methods O large number Of
Knights of Columbus have obtained higher
and more powerful clerical appointments
in the Legislative branch Of the governments
The precise number occupying such posi-
tions is extremely difficult to ascertain, but
it is beyond doubt that an undue proportion
of positions on the clerical force of each
house, including clerks of important COM
mittees, have fallen into papal hands.
For several years such fanatical Roman
Catholics as Representative Fitzgerald Of
Greater New York and Representative Gal
livan of Boston have actively sought the
enactment by congress of legislation that
would enable the postmaster-general, by
executive order, and without notice, trial or
defense, to exclude from the mails and so
destroy every periodical publication that

litical Roman hierarchy. Failing in this
endeavor because of the arousal of Amer
lean patriotism against measures so char
acteristic of mediaeval despotism, they have
more recently sought in vain the destruc-
ton Of such periodicals by ruinous and
discriminating increase in postal rates.
Papal Hands In Treasury
From the treasury of the United States
here goes out every year an immense vol
lme of public revenues for the support Of
Roman Catholic schools and hospitals in
he District of Columbia, on the Indian
Reservations and elsewhere. Analogous
conditions Mve enabled the Roman hier-
archy to thrust its hands deeply into the
treasures Of states, counties and cities In
all parts of the country.
In order to check effectually and forever
this Roman Catholic invasion of public
treasures, the proposed amendment to the
Constitution of the United States intro
duced by Representative ,Sisson Of MissisL
sippi should be adopted and written into the
fundamental law Of the republic.
For twenty years congress has sought to
enact legislation for the protection Of our
country from the immense and growing
stream of degraded Roman Catholic immiI

Of illiterates, and four times have presi-
