Boston, Oct. IS Pl-William M Butler, republican candidate for L.. s. senator, in a radio address today advocated q national 4S hour law and expressed faith in the restora- ton of business prosperity in tex tiles and the shoe industry in Mas saChusetts.
 T have had a long and intimate connection with business" he said T have built up considera ble in dustry in Massachusetts. I have had the temptation under adverse condi- tions in Massachusetts to remove my plants to other states where conditions as to labor have perhaps been more inviting. but I have faith in Massachusetts. I have continued my interests in Massachusetts.
 "I have courage enough to believe that our business prosperity not only in textiles, but in the shoe in dustry. and in other lines of busi- ness, will be restored, and that we will again have the proud position of being the first industrial state in the nation"

year, but 80 Indians came as guests.
They did not come empty-handed, but
brought generous gifts. The kindly
spirit of friendliness was worth even
more at that time.
Only Five Women to Get Meals.
The games were tests in jumping,
leaping and running, in which they
all took part. But in spite of all this,
it could not have been week of I'M.
alleged recreation and pleasure, for
there were only four women to do
the cooking. with the help of one maid
servant, and q few maidkins. There
were 40 men to be served, and 80 of
them Indians, whose hunger had to
be appeased for three days. Even
more noticeable and pathetic was the
very small number of children in the
stockade to participate in this first
Thanksgiving celebration.
There is no record of any kind of
religious service or prayer during the
week. One writer says: Lost in the
wood-terrified by lions-terriied by
grinning wolves-half frozen in the
poorly built houses-sickened by poor
food, and half famished-almost half
the company dead, after two years of
suffering and hardship. In spite of
these heavy hardships, and after the
drought of 1893, nine days of prayer
for rain was answered, and the second
Thanksgiving day was appointed and
observed"
The first Thanksgiving day which
was publicly appointed, was set for
February 90, 1890. in gratitude for
the "Friend-bringing and foOd-bearing
ships" November 4. 1851, Winthrop
wrote, I'VE keep Thanksgiving day
today in Boston" Until 1854 the day
was celebrated about every two years.
Thankful for Clean Teeth.
We have no certain record when it
became a fixed annual observance in
New England. But in 1742 there were
two Thanksgiving days and Massachu-
sets and Connecticut celebrated with
out reference to each other. AS time
passed, it became more and more Il
day of prayer and thanksgiving. For
it becomes more hard" one COnnecti-
cut writer says, " to settle upon any
special day."
1t was not regularly observed until
1866, and then more as 81 day of wOr-
ship than a day of feasting. One writ
er speaks of a service in which long
list of special blessings was specified.
For the healing of breaches, the
abatement of disease, the arrival of
persons of quality, gratitude for plen-
tfuI harvest, that God has sent us no
want of bread and for clean teeth"
These early Thanksgiving days we're
of many different days of the week,
and of no certain month for many
years. After the day began to be OBJ
served annually, it came to be the
custom to hold the festival in the fall,
and following harvest. The feast was
usually prepared for by some days of
fasting.
No Celebration Without Pie.
But among the early Thanksgiving
celebrations of Colonial days is one
which has. no counterpart in history.
The records say that the governor of
Connecticut appointed certain day
to be observed throughout the state
as time of thanksgiving. But, for

reasons of their own, the residents Of
the town of Colchester ignored the
governors appointed day. They sent
a committee to him stating that they
were not able to accept the day he
had selected. but would gladly cele-
brate Thanksgiving one week later"
AS this had never happened before,
the governor was at loss to know
how to proceed. Fortunately, he was
a patient man, and not easily af-
fronted, and one who was blessed
with sense of humor.
Finding he was not going to make
the matter disagreeable for them, he
was again visited and the matter ex-
planned. A sloop expected from New
York had been delayed a week. On
board was a hogshead of molasses for
making pies, without which no
Thanksgiving celebration could pro-
coed.
Being a man of good sense, and
perhaps, too, having the New Eng
land appreciation for pie, the good
people of Colchester were allowed to
hold their Thanksgiving when the
hOgshead of molasses came in, a week
later.
In 1877 the first regular Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation was printed, and it
is said copy still is in existence.

We have the natural resources, the
high standard of living and the po-
tential productive and consumptive
power. If there is to be a general
world prosperity again it will have tc
begin in the United States.
For this reason, in the opinion OF
most observers, our statesmen and
our business leaders will do well if
they confne the principal amount OF
their attention in the immediate fu-
ture to Uncle Sam. If the unemploy-
ment problem can be solved in Amer
lea, if our purchasing power can be
restored and the gloom lifted, then
our foreign trade will increase and
European nations will benefit from
our increased buying power. These
problems will not be solved by our in
ternationalists who are continually
seeking to distract our attention to
some far-off program of international
political cooperation, but by hard
headed American business men and
statesmen who are trying to help the
world by first restoring Uncle Sam to
his accustomed place in the leader
ship toward world rehabilitation. Let
US as Americans now think less of
Europe and her problems of peace
and war and more about the economic
restoration of the United States.

HISTORY TEXT BOOKS

There is something new under the
sun after all. The other day word
came through cable dispatches to the
effect that American historical text
books, in one instance at least, were
being criticised for use abroad as too
American and not sufficiently inter-
nationalist. According to a dispatch
from Melbourne, Australia, Mays and
Moons modern history, a standard
schoolbook in the province Of Victoria,
written by Americans, is the storm
center because of certain statements
made about the World War. The book
is charged with being CHASED, untrue,
and insulting. Two paragraphs which
are particularly objected to are the
following:
"The British collected motley
army, composed chiefly Of Colonial
troops, and landed it on the tip of
Gallipoli Peninsular, close to the
Dardanelles."
"The United States was the only
great power that fought in the war
without demanding or even desiring
territorial gains for herself. She
should be credited with loftiness of
purpose and usefulness that could
hardly be matched in all history"
To the average American who re-
members the great lengths to which
internationalists went during and
after the World War to propaganda
American text books for the benefit of
certain European nations, this criti-
cism ought to be particularly anus
ing. 1t is to be remembered that an
effort, which came near to being en-
tirely successful, was made to change
the teaching of history in our schools
so that it might appear that the pa
triot soldiers in the Revolution were
motley army of disturbers and

Maine First to
Give Thanks
for Mercy?

We are apt to think that Thanks
giving was originally New England
festival and belonged distinctively to
the PuritanS. This Is mistake.
Neither Boston Puritans nor Plymouth
Pilgrims had anything to do with it.,
for it was first practiced by the Pop.
ham colonists of Monhegan, Maine,
and it was in a Church of England
thanksgiving service-"A Giving of
God Thanks for Safe Voyage" says
a writer in the Kansas City Times.
The practice of setting aside GER
tain days for thanksgiving had be-
come a custom long before the Refor-
nation. Professionals followed the prac-
tice, especially in the established
church, where it had become a fixed
practice long before New England be-
gan the observance. 1t seems strange
thing that the Pilgrims, who hated so
heartily all the observances Of the
Church of England, should have been
so willing to follow this practice so
early in their history.
The first Thanksgiving day of New
England was, however, never ap-
pointed nor intended for a day of re-
ligious worship. 1t had nothing in
common with the Church of England
day of prayer and praise for past
blessings and future need. 1t was ap-
pointed as a day of recreation and
freedom from work, which made the
colonists' days one ceaseless grind of
care.

But those who are wont to think of

morose men and women, with no idea
In life beyond work and prayer, would
do well to read an account of that
week of Thanksgiving, the first real
play time of the Pilgrims.
Edward Winslow wrote to friend
in England on December II, 1921:
Our harvest being gotten in, our
governor sent four men out foWling,
so that after special manner we
might rejoice together, after we had
four killed as much fowl as, with lit
tie help beside. served The whole COM

ninety men, who for three days we

smugglers, that they ought to have
known better and that the real folk in
the colonies during the latter part of
the eighteenth century were the
tories.
If Australia, and we have consider
able admiration for that sturdy col
ony, wants to object to the assertion
that Britain's colonial troops were a
"motely army" that is all right with
us. But we would like to know what
great power other than the United
States fought in the war without de-
manding or even desiring territorial
gains for herself"
Remembering our own experience
with history text books we are re-
minded by this protest that what is
sauce for the gander is not always
considered sauce for the goose.

NIGHT COUGHING
QUICKLY RELIEVED
Famous Prescription Gives AL
most Instant Relief

Night coughs or coughs caused by

airy medicines do not reach. But the

tors prescription, is guaranteed to
give almost instant relief. Thoxine
works on a different principle, it goes
direct to the internal cause.
Thoxine is pleasant tasting and safe
for the whole family. 1t will give you
better and quicker relief for coughs
or sore throat than anything you have
ever tried or your money will be re-

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
BY FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Now that the election is over and
the American people are getting into
their normal stride again, the next
effort will of course be toward get
ting the country back on a prosper
GUS basis again. This is not matter
/ for partisan politics but for general
cooperation. Already there are some
encouraging signs. Certain Demo-
cratic leaders, high in the inner cir
cles of the party have pledged to the
Administration their support of con-
structive legislation looking toward
the restoration of normal conditions.
The Republican leaders have accept
ed with thanks. 1t now remains to
see just how we'll the two political
organizations will pull together in
Congress. Some political writer's
have professed to see in these latest
maneuvers the first signs of an at
tempt to organize bipartisan polit-
ical bloc, or rather the Democratic
insurgent bloc of the present Con-
gress. Already enough has transpired
to indicate that there may be some
interesting changes in the next Con-
gress. Of course, nothing may come
of all this. When the new Congress
meets, we will be approaching the
1882 election and it is more than pos
sible that the temptation then to play
politics will be strong enough to over
come the cooperative instincts in both
parties. For the present the more en-
couraging thought is that unless
there is a special session of Congress
the new legislative body will not
meet for year, and by that time the
country will probably have turned the
corner, economically speaking. Most
conservative leaders of both parties
do not desire a special session after
March 4, as they believe that it will
be a disturbing influence. They re-
call with some shuddering-o the
part of Republican chiefs at least
what happened in the last special ses-
sion of lamented memory.
In the meantime the next best thing
that can be done will be to hold the
ship of state steady in the storm, and
this is what the Administration will
doubtless try to do. After all the
business interests of the country and
the people in general must to great
extent, work out their own saliva
ton. Depression is like fever and
must run its course, although natur-
ally efforts made to relieve it will be
helpful if properly directed.
One thing political observers and
economists are pretty we'll agreed up
on and that is that if we are going to
set our house in order with any degree
of swiftness we must begin at home.
The world is looking to the United
States to lead the way to stability and
progress. Americans during the past
few decades have won for themselves
a reputation for boundless optimism
and for ability to accomplish things

FOR BLESSINGS

To give thanks on Thanksgiving
day. to pause from normal activi-
ties, to recognize the providential
blessings bestowed upon the
American people is a duty. The
custom has no law of compulsion.
1t has become a traditional prac.
tice. 1t is instituted by Presiden-
tial proclamation, which is OBJ
served as though it were of statu-
tory force. While the day has be-
come a holiday. a festivity in
some degree. it remains primarily
an occasion of reverential recog-
milton Of the great dispensation
which brings to America the rich
ness of spiritual as well as mate
rial advance.
