Thanksgiving day after the setting
up of the republic.
After President Adams procla-

There probably has been no sub
ject since mans beginning more
discussed than prayer. Religionists
have claimed it belonged to the
spiritual world as a form of wor-
ship. Scientists not being able to
classify it into formula or fact have
dismissed the subject as not belong
ing to the scientific world. What is
prayer, and where does it belong,
and to whom?
According to the present status of
the human race there are three
kinds of prayer. The first type Of
prayer is petition. Begging for
something which one has not,
whether it be for something to have
or to be, it is asking God to give.
This type of request is pseudo
prayer, and should bear the name
of petition. The second type of
prayer is the kind that brings our
nation, at the Presidents procla-
nation, to it's knees on Thanksgiv-
ing day in gratitude. 1t is an attrib-
ute of the. heart. Even though
grateful, one can also be selfish
Gratitude is sometimes lacking in
human beings and found in dogs
Today, we the American people are
not as grateful for our splendid
country as were Pilgrim Fathers.
'Give us this day our daily
bread" is more often "said" than
prayed, and in how many American
homes today do little children never
hear a word Of grace or gratitude
at the beginning of a meal. This is
short measure of his rightful heri-
tage. Gratitude is one of the cour-
tesies of character, an amenity OF
the heart. It can be cultivated by
always comparing your lot in life
with that of someone who has less
rather than more than you have.
This always brings gratitude plus
contentment However, this second
type of prayer goes only half way
to the heart of God, and should on
ly bear the name of gratitude, not
prayer.
The third kind of prayer must in
clude others if we wish it to ascend
higher than our heads. A great and
fine woman, internationally known,
said to me once, that she prays God
to help her answer prayers of 9TH
ers. "You would be surprised" she
said to me, chow many opportuni-
ties daily come to me to answer the
prayers of other folks. Somehow,
when I am thinking in terms of the
needs of others / lose track of my
own, andI grow strong when others
need me to be strong" Can we real
ly pray?

Thanksgiving day is more inter-
woven with the nations history
than any other American holiday
and has had the most checkered
career of them all, historical re-
view of the long chain of circum-
stances surrounding this most
pleasant harvest festival reveals.
While Thanksgiving, as an annual
event under the auspices of the
state, is legacy from the early
New England colonists, it neverthe-
less was first proclaimed as ma
tional day for giving thanks by the
first President, George Washington,
who was requested to do so by
joint resolution of congress in 1889,
writes Clifford Ernest in the Chica-
60 Daily News.
At intervals from then on to the
present it has been observed ma
tionally by proclamation of the
President. The longest interval dur
ing which no proclamation was is
sued and the day was only observed
by some and that sectionally, was
about so years sgo.
This hiatus in official national
gratitude occurred between the
presidencies of ames Madison and
Abraham Lincoln.
During this lapse the southern
states objected to its observance by
presidential proclamation on the
ground that it was a relic of Puri-
tan bigotry. During this long period
of supremacy of the South and

ONE or PAIR OF BRUTAL
SLAYERS SEEKS FREEDOM

JOLIET, I'LL. Nov. 2S.-Nathan
Leopold, who tried to chart the per-
feet crime and failed, hoped today
for better luck in his latest expert
ment-a parole forecasting system
which rates him as a good risk for
freedom. ~
A good risk, that is, if he ever
gets free of the life term imposed
on him and Richard Loeb for the,
brutal Staying of little Bobby.
Franks IL years ago. e9
The forecast study, based on
thousands of actual parole cases,
shows that killers are generally
more apt to 60 straight on parole
than are other types of prisoners.
This is not true, however, when
murders are committee in connec-
ton with robbery, the case histories
disclose.
Leopold plays his part in the
forecasting as clerk in the office,
of Prof. Ferris Laune, Illinois pa
role board actuary, who developed
and directs the system.
With seven other convicts in the
State penitentiary, the wealthy sci
on of social prominence helps tabu-
late and interpret data with which
Laune determines the relative pos
sibility of successful parole of each
prisoner.

President Lincoln's proclamatio
vas as follows:
The year that is drawing
toward its close has been filled
with the blessings of fruitful
fields and healthfuI skies. To
these bounties, which are SO
constantly enjoyed that we are
prone to forget the source from
which they come, others have
been added, which are of so ex-
traordinary a nature that they
cannot fail to penetrate and
soften the heart which is ha-
bitua1ly insensibIe to the ever
watchful providence of almigh-
ty God.
In the midst of a civil war of
unequaled magnitude and Sc
verify, which has sometimes
seemed to foreign states to in
vite and provoke their aggres-
sion, peace has been preserved
with all nations, order has been
maintained, the laws have been
respected and Obeyed, and har-
mOny has prevailed every
where, except in the theater of
military conflict; while that
theater has been greatly con-
tracted by the advancing armies
and navies of the Union.
Needful diversions of wealth
and of strength from the fields
of peaceful industry to the ma
tional defense have not arrest
ed the plow, the shuttle, or the
ship; the ak has enlarged the
border of our settlements, and
the mines, as well of iron and
coal as of the precious metals,
have yielded even more album
dainty than heretofore. POpu-
lation has steadily increased,
Notwithstanding the waste that
has been made in the camp, the
siege, and the battlefield, and
the country, rejoicing in the
consciousness of ug m n t e d
strength and vigOr, is permitted
to expect continuance of years
with large increase of freedom.
No human counsel hath de-
vised, nor hath any mortal
hand worked out these great
things. They are the gracious
gifts Of the most high God,
who, while dealing with as in,
anger for our sins, hath never
theless remembered mercy.
It has seemed to me fit and
proper that they should be SOL
EMMY, reverently and gratful-
~ acknowledged as with one
heart and one voice by the
whole American people. do,
Therefore, invite my. fellow-citi-
Gems in every part of the United
States, and also those who are
at sea and those who are So
journing i'm foreign lands, to set
