Thanksgiving
Proclamation

Gov. Shoup on Wednesday, in nc.
.cordance with a time-hono.eG custom
and in succession to the lead of Presi-
dent Wilson, issued the annual
Thanksgiving &y proclamation, in
which he calls upon the citizens Of
the state to observe Thursday, No
vember 25 "as a day of Thanksgiving
and prayer" The full text of the
proclamation follows:
with unusual significance Thanks
giving day comes this year. with the
nation at peace, cur sons returned
from the war, the stars in the flag
blazing with greater lustre.
Three centuries of nation-building
are concluded with this anniversary
day and the republic enters another
cycle of its destiny to the glory of
civilization in its leadership in world
progress.
Three hundred years ago on the
Mayfower, under the gloomy Novem-
Der sky, tossing on the swell opposite
the barren sand dunes of the New
England coast, little party of liberty
seekers signed the first form of con-
stitutional government in history, the
immortal compact, 'solmenly and mu-
tually in the presence OF God and one
of another TO covenant and combine
ourselves together in a civil body and
polite 1t wa sthe precursor OF the
Constitution of the United States.
Since that day liberty for all men
has been the dawn light in the free
west, the sunrise of oppressed hu-
manity. The fathers laid enduring
foundation and theiA sons have bAIilded
wisely. The Americanism of the
Mayfiower document is in the blood
OF America, and that blood has been
poured forth on the war-vexed ocean
and on the soil Of foreign lands in de-
fense OF our free institutions
Must Safeguard Heritage.
1T is our solmen and sacred duty
as trustees for the generations to
come, to safeguard the heritage of the
fathers. Il is our own present insur@
ance 10 peace and well-being 1t be-
hooves US in this time when the cove
nant OF a free people is being as
saulted by vicious elements spewed
forth by autlawing and ignorance
nberating war to dedicate this day
not only 10 thanks giving. but 70
prayer and thought, to take stock of
the good and the strong in our IN
stitutions and TO assure ourselves of
their imperishability, remembering
that they can be preserved only by
acts and not by empty words. And
it IS the day TO consider whether we
are keeping faith with the fathers and
sweeping the temple of the republic
clear of those who would destroy it,
ITO no people has been given a
more glorious fulfllment of national
ideas. Traditions, when born OF sub
lime acts. become customs of holy OBJ
servance and with deep pride in all
that we as a nation, possess, we
should humble knees as did the Pill
grims, pray for divine guidance. even
as We offer our thanksgiving for de-
liyerance FROM the evils of the night
that is not yet past.
With Joyful and grateful heart
We should give thanks for the pros
perity. the bountiful yields of the rich
earth. the fruitful harvests of our
blessed Colorado: We snouId exult in
the beauty around US OF this garden
