Sarah Hale Largely Response
BILE For Making Thanksgiving
National Holiday.

Argument about the origin of
Thanksgiving day in the United
States has been going on, 10, these
many years. There are several an
swers, and which of them is cor
rect depends entirely upon the point
Of view.
We think of Thanksgiving usual
ally as an institution begun by the
Pilgrims. Without a doubt it was
the Pilgrims who were the first
group of American people to cease
work to observe a day of thanks
giving.
It was George Washington, as
President, who proclaimed the first
national Thanksgiving day.
It was Sarah Josepha Hale, editor
of Godey's Lady's Book, who fought
for many years to have the nation
al holiday revived as regular an
nual celebration.
It was President Abraham Lincoln
who issued the first national
Thanksgiving proclamation since
Jefferson, reviving a practice that
has been observed each year ever
since by whatever President who
happened to be in Office.
Americas first official national
Thanksgiving day occurred on No
vember 20, 1889, or 1853 years after
Bradford's call upon the Pilgrims
to give thanks. President Wash
ington proclaimed it at the request
of joint committee of both houses
of congress who beseeched him to
declare a day of thanks for the ia
vors of God bestowed upon the
new republic.
In his proclamation President
Washington said: "Now therefore
do I recommend to the people of
the United States Day of Thanks
giving :. that we may unite in
rendering unto Him our humble
thanks for His kind care and pro-
lection of this country previous to
it's becoming a nation . for the
favorable interposition of His Prov
idence in the course and conclusion
of the late war; for the great de-
gree of tranquility, union and plen-
ty which we have since enjoyed;
for the peaceable and national man.
ner in which we have been enabled
to establish constitutions of govern
ment . for the civil and religious
liberty with which we are blessed
e.. and also that we may then
unite and beseech Him to pro-
mote virtue, knowledge and the in
crease of science among U.S.

proclamations were made in the fol-

Strated by the House committee was the
compromise on the Money and Credits
bill and on the Liquor Tax bill. Out of
these two bills they looked for much
revenue, but if subcommittee compro-
misses speak for the House, the revenue
will be cut in two. The committee
truckled to the big cities in the matter
of ALLEGATION in the Money and Credits
bill and then reduced the liquor tax
from 10 per cent to per cent.
Henceforth the Senate will have
something to do. Thus far the only
work done has been the consideration
of the few tax bills that have come over
