With election over, the newspapers are
now busy fixing up the cabinet so that it
will be all ready for Mr.. Harding on March
4th. One suggestion already made seems
worth considering, that of Chairman Will
H. Hays for postmaster general. Hays is
getting lot of silly adulation as the man
who led the great Republican victory, but
the Harding victory would have been just
about as decisive if Jonah j. Jinx, himself,
had been chairman or if there had been no
national committee anyway. Chairman
Will Hays, however has proved himself
wonderful organizer AMI has gone through
a great national campaign without losing
his head and without one single serious
blunder. If there's place on earth where
such a man is needed it is in the office of
postmaster general to succeed Burleson
who has made all the plumbers known to
history and repeated them as often as op-
portunity offered. -BenningGo Banner.

The Presidents Proclamation

The season approaches when it be-
hooves us to turn from the distractions
and preoccupations of our daily life, that
we may contemplate the, mercies which
have been vouchsafed to us, aed render
heartfelt and unfeigned thanks unto God
for His manifold goodness.
This is an old observance of the Amer
can people, deeply imbedded in Our thought
and habit. The burdens and the stresses
of life have their own insistence.
We have abundant cause for thanks
giving. The lesious of the war are rapidly
healing. The great army of free men,
which Americy sent to the defense OF liber-
ty, retur ling to the grateful embrace of
the nation has resumed the useful pursuits
of peace as simply and as promptly as it
rushed to arms in obedience to the coun-
trys CALL The equal justice of our laws
has received steady vindication in the sup
port of law-abiding people against vari-
Gus and sinister attacks, which have re-
Elected only the baser agitations of war,
now happily passing over.
!" In plenty, security, and peace, our vir
tuous and self reliant people face the flu
ture, its duties and its opportunities.
May we have vision to discern our duties;
the strength both of hand and resolve to
discharge them, and the soundness of heart
to realize that the truest opportunities
are those of service.
In spirit then, of devotion and stew
ardship, we should give thanks in our
hearts and dedicate ourselves to the serv-
ice of Gods merciful and loving purposes
to his children"
Wherefore. Woodrow Wilson, Presi-
dent of the United States of America, do
hereby designate Thursday, the twenty
fifth day of November next as day of
thanksgiving and prayer and call upon
my countrymen to cease from their or
binary tasks and avocations upon that
day, giving it up to the remembrance of
God and His blessings, and their dutiful
and grateful acknowledgment. "

noticed that it has still strong degree of

Cox carried just two towns in that state
and lost Boston, where the speech was
made, by over $4,000.
