President Roosevelt Issnes the mini Proclamation. Tlie President has issued his a a Thanksgiving proclamation in the follow- ing terms: "By the President of the United States of America: "A- Proclamation. "The season ia at hand when, accord- ing to tho custom of our people, it falls upon the President to appoint a day of praise and thanksgiving to God. "During the last year tlie Lord has deidt bountifully with us, giving us peace at home and abroad aud the chance for our citizens to work for their welfare unhindered by war, famine or plague. It behooves us not only to rejoice greatlv because, or what 1ms been given us, but to accept it with a solemn sense of re- sponsibility, realizing that under heaven it rests with us ourselves to show that wo arc- worthy to use aright what has thus been intrusted to our care.

"In no other place and at no other time has tiie experiment of go: eminent the people, by the people, for the peo- ple, been tried on so vast a scale as here in our own country in the opening years of the twentieth century. Failure would not only be a dreadful thing for us, but a dreadful thing for all mankind, be- cause it would mean loss of hope for all who believe in the power and the right- eousness of liberty. Therefore, in thank- ing God for the mercies extended to us in the past, we beseech Him that He may not withhold them in the future, and that our hearts may be roused to war for good and against all the forcos of evil, public and private. We pray for strength, and light, so that In the coming years we may with clean- liness, fearlessness and wisdom do our allotted work on tlie earth iu such man- ner as to show that we are not altogeth- er unworthy of the blessings we have re- ceived. "Now, therefore, Theodore Roose- velt, President of the United States, do hereby designate as a day of general thanksgiving Thursday, the 2Gth of the coming November, and do recommend that throughout the land people cease from their wonted occupations, and iu their several homes and places of wor- ship render thanks Almighty God for Ills manifold mercies.
