 The next known reference to this hymn occurs in connection with the observance of the tiftieth cOnvOcatiOn of the University of Illinois, on No vember 20 1913. The Alumni Quar- terIy says: ''Touches of the unusual were added to the exercises by the singing of {; forgotten hymn, dedicated to Lincoln in 1868 by Reverend Doctor Muhlenburg.

We have lost it, and lost the thing we went to war to defend And the men who lie in Flanders fields and all along the line to Alkirch have died for nothing.

Thanksgiving Hymn
 Well Liked at Birth
 But Now Forgotten

l The first presidential Thanksgiving | proclamation was that of President Washington in 17S9 on the occasion of the adoption of the Constitution, the day, curously enough, being No vember H6-the date of celebration of | 1863. This latter was the real fore runner of our national Thanksgiving day. Occasional and special times of | thanksgiving had often been appoint ed by different Presidents, but the year | 1863, famous for it's decisive national victories, marked also the beginning of the annual series of Thanksgiving | days.
 The great victories of Gettysburg and Vicksburg were really the cause of Lincoln's proclamation, and his ex- ample has been followed by all his successors until the annual festival has become one of our national insti- tutiOns.
 The proclamation of 1863 wss re- | markable as the first of series, ex- tending now over fifty years. It was
  casiOn of a thanksgiving hymn by the famous Reverend Doctor Muhlenburg of St. Luke's hospital, New York city. He is well known as the author of the familiar hymn, 'T Would Not Live AL way" and poet of no small repute. Mr. Lincoln's glowing words met his eye and struck a responsive chord in his heart. A noble Thanksgiving hymn was the result, a hymn which at the time was often sung, but is now comparatively forgotten. It was pub liShed with appropriate music, and even yet is suitable for use on similar occasions.
 The hymn contains nine Stanzas, with chorus, and takes up in order the various causes for thanksgiving men, toned in Mir. LiEcoln's proclamation. The original title was Give Thanks All Yc People," the first verse being as follows:
 Give thanks. all ye people, give thanks to the Lord,
 Alleuias of freedom with joyful accord; Let the East and the West, North and South roll along,
 Sea mountain and prairie, one thanks giving song.
 Chorus.
 Give thanks, all ye people. give thanks to the LCrd
 AleUias of freedom, with joyful accord
 As the hymn was suggested by Mr. Ljncoln's call upon the nation to give thanks, Doctor MuhIenburg spoke of it as 'The Presidents Hymn," but would not permanently offer such title without MT. Lincoln's approval MT. Robert B. Minturn, a prominent mem- Der of Doctor Muhlenburg's congrega- tiOn, was greatly pleased with the poem, and sent copy to the President, with whom he was personally acquaint- ed, asking permission to name the hymn as the author desired. Mir. Lin coin telegraphed back: "So let 1t be-"
 In July, 1865, Dr. Horace Bushnell published in Hours at Home" an ar ticle attacking the well-known hymn, "America," as an unworthy and really humiliating effusion-as political an- them. Doctor Bushnell thus refers to Doctor Muhlenburg's productions:
 "The hymn and air that were given to the public by Doctor Muhlenburg short time ago appear to have missed the accident of being fairly born and for that reason have not succeeded The want of good accident here is fla tal but the hymn has real merit It was too long and included three or

JUST WHY WE WENT TO WAR
 The United States entered the war in 1917 for no vague, altruistic req sons. It was war of defense. Some. our national life, had been attacked. We went to war to defend that con- crete American interest precisely as we should have gone to war to de- fend the Philippines, had they been attacked, or to defend American citi. zens in Smyrna, had they been wan tonly deprived of their liberty, or their property and their rights as American citizens, by the Ottoman government. American territory had been attacked; for an American ship is as much American soil as Marion o. And American citizens had been wantonly slain, while others had been deprived of their property and their rights on the high seas, where they should have been as secure as in Washington, D. c.
 What we went to war to defend was the right of American citizens to travel abroad on legitimate busi ness, and their right to own and operate, unmolested, vessels flying the American flag on the seas. What was at stake was American foreign trade.
 We went to war to establish the freedom of the seas, and we did es tablish it. If now the peace has come we permit ourselves to be robbed of the fruits of our vic

ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE
 INTERIOR

Among the matters it is known Delegate-elect Dan Southerland will press while in Washington attending the winter session of congress will be the naming of an assistant secretary of the interior, who will be located in Alaska, and act as a direct inter- mediary between the department and the territory.
 The logic for such an office is found in the fact that Alaska is the last frontier of the nation, and demands especial consideration if it's develop ment is to be assured.
 Owing to distance to Washington, and the resultant red tape incumbent upon handling Alaskan matters by correspondence, much valuable time is consumed in an effort to meet the exigencies that arise from day to day. This has been one of the most serious drawbacks to territoriay de- velopment, and added to the policy of stagnation practiced heretofore, has served to accentuate the condi- tions which have mitigated to retard progress and drive population from the north.
 There is money and population awaiting the unlocking of the terri tory to proper exploitation, but until the key is provided there will be little forward movement.
 Alaska does not desire paternalism or aims. It desires the opportunity to work out it's own salvation unham- pered by a mass of red tape. By naming an assistant secretary of the interior, operating under a Pacific coast man as secretary of the interior, we may look for a solution of every problem with which we are con- fronted
 Alaska would prefer a secretary of the interior from a state like Wash ington, because only a far western it's problems is capable of meeting the problems offered. At the same time the court of conference, as it were should be centered in men clos est in touch with the subject matter to be dealt with. By segregating Alaskan problems under the secretary of the interior, uncomingled and inter locked with the department of agricul- ture, full functioning of the depart ment may be secured and Inoviation given to reforms necessary to bring the territory into full fruition- Juneau Capital.
