THANKS OF NATION. Prosldent Calls on People to Observo November 20. ' Washington, Oct. 24. Tho president has issued a proclamation naming Thureday, Novomber 20, as a day of thanksgiving. The text of the procla mation 1b as folio wb: "A proclamation. "Ihe timo of tho year has como when, in accordanco with tho wise cus tom of our fathers, it becomes my duty to.Bet aside a special day of thanksgiv ing and praise to tho Almighty because of blessings we have received and of power prayer that these blessings may be continued, Yet another year 9' widespread well-being has passed. Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has a peo plo enjoyed more abounding material prosperity than has ours; a prosperity so great that it should arouse in ns no spirit of reckless pride, and least of all, a spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibility; but rather a sober cense of our many blessings, and n resolute purnoso, under Providence, not to for feit them by any action of our own. "Material well-being, indispensable though it is, can never be anything bat the foundation of true national great ness and happiness. If we build noth ing upon this foundation, then our na tional Ufa will be as meaningless and empty as a houso where only the found ation has been laid. Upon our mater ial well-being must be built a super structure of individual and national life 11 red in accordanco with tho laws of the highest morality, or else our pros perity itself will in tho long run turn out n curse instead of a blessing. Wo should bo both rnvorently thankful for what wo linvo roceived and earnestly bent upon turning it into a means of graco and not of destruction. "Accordingly, I hereby sot apart Thursday, the 20th day of Novomber, next, as the day of thanksgiving and supplication, upon which tho people shall meet in tholr homos or churches, devoutly acknowledging that which has been given thorn and to pray that they may in addition receive the power to use these sifts aright. "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington this S2d day of October, in the year of out Lord, 1000, nnd of the independence of the United States the 131st. "(Seal) i Theodore Roosevelt. By the president.
