Let the Herald editor and his readers

Let the Herald editor and his readers
reason together for moment. The congress
sional reapportionment for this state has not
been definitely settled. It is within the
range of possibilities that this fellow may be
compelled to go before all of the people of
this state seeking an election as Congress
man at large. There are something like
100000 residents, young and old, in Mime
sofa. The Herald has notion that he fears
the reapportionment act will not stand up
and that he will be compelled to run as con-
gresham at large. We wonder that, if in his
outbreaks in the public press he is endeavor
ing to impress upon the people of Minnesota
that he is helluva fellow, showing smat-
tering of craftsmanship.
Didn't Lincoln say something "about
fooling the people," etc., Knowing this fell
low as the editor of the Herald does we re-
fuse to take any statement he may make,
public or private, with seriousness.
Don't overlook the fact that the proba-
bilities are that this guy is, in the last an
alysis, made out of common, very common
clay.
Keep in mind, also, that there is vast
difference between honest-t goodness ability
and an over developed ego.

THANKSGIVING DAY

Thanksgiving Day, as we know it, is a
distinctively American Institution, although
festivals of similar import may be traced back
many hundreds of years. The Hebrew Feast
of the Tabernacles, the Greek Thesmophora,
the Roman Cerealia and the English Harvest
Home all appear to have had something in
common with our national holiday.
Immediately after the first harvest of
the Pilgrims in 1921 Thanksgiving was first
observed in America. Similar observances
were instituted by other colonies by Massa-
chusetts in 1880, by Connecticut in 1859, and
by New Netherlands in 1914. During the
Revolution several Thanksgiving Days were
appointed by the Continental Congress.
President George Washington designat-
ed November 26, 1885, as ga day of public
thanksgiving and prayer" and in 1795 he
made similar designation President Mad
ison appointed day of thanksgiving at
the close of the War of 1872. Various states
observed the day irregularly during succeed
ing years, but it was not until 1864 that the
day become a fixed, annual event.
In that year President Lincoln appoint
ed the fourth Thursday of November by of
fetal proclamation, and the example thus set
has been followed by all succeeding Presi-
dents.
Washington's original Thanksgiving
proclamation is preserved in the Library of
Congress. The precious document was lost
for more than 100 years, until it was discov-
cred among some Washington manuscripts
being auctioned in New York in 1921, when
it was purchased for $500 and restored to
the government archives.
