NOT GOVERNED BY THURSDAY NOVEMBER 24, 1904. HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving Day, is essentially and peculiarly an American institution, handed down by the pilgrim fathers. Thanksgiving Day, as we now know it, was instituted by Governor Brandford, the first governor of Massachusetts colony, who set apart a day for feasting and rejoicing as well as for prayer and praise. A little pleasure was be ginning to creep into the lives of the colonists; a plenti ful harvest had been given them, and in gratitude for this, Governor Bradford appointed the 13th day of De cember, 1621, to be observed for the expression of joyous gratitude. Of the colonists who had settled there, only about fifty-five had survived the extreme hardships of the first dreadful winter, but these went hopefully about pre paring for the joyous feasting. Men were sent into the vast forests for game, which was abundant, and it was at this festival that the turkey was crowned king of the American fall festal board. At daybreak on the eventful morning, the cannon on the hill top thundered forth a summons and a solemn pro cession of men, women, and children, led by Elder Brew- Tuesday's Oregonian contained a gossipy discussion of the Drobable candidates in the state election 18 months hence, at which time a Governor, Supreme Judge, Attor ney-General, State School Superintendent, Labor Com missioner and State Printer are to be elected. The story goes that Governor Geo. E" Chamberlain will venture a second battle in the face of 43,000 republican majority while on the republican side the elieibles for Governor are enumerated as follows: T. T. Geer, Geo. C. Brownell Rinirer Hermann. H. E. Acknev, W. Kuvkendall, A. C Mareters, Malcolm Moody and Dr. Jas. Withycombe. is further stated that "it is suspicioned the boom for Mr Hermann was started by some one who would like to slip into his shoes in Congress.'' Will Work to Obey and Please the Public iu Every Way Possible it Sir Thomas Lipton, probably the most popular English man in American eves, is likely to be a visitor at the Lewis and Clark Centennial next year. William P. I don, who is Sir Thomas' western representative, is author ity for the statement that the Lipton tea exhibit at St Louis will be transferred to the Fair at Portland. As it ister, carrying his bible, with Governor Bradford bringing I is known that Sir Thomas will be in the United States up the rear, proceeded to the meeting house. The ser- j next summer, it seems likely that the great English mer- vice concluded, the people repaired to their homes to en joy their fasting, having as guests a band of friendly In dians KingfMassasoit and his ninety followers, who proved a welcome addition to their number. Great stores of venison were contributed by the red men, and the fes tivities were keep up for three-days, and consisted of re ligions exercises, war dances by the savages, and military drills by Laptain fctandishs well trained soldiers. Uther The Spectator, of London, predicts that the coming days of thanksgiving were observed as time went on, but ! Roosevelt administration will be strong in its foreign pol chant and SDortsman will come west to see the Fair. The Exposition authorities will extend him'an earnest invita tion to visit the Fair, and should the great Englishman accept, as seems probable, his visit will carry with it an importance second only to that which would attend the coming of King Edward. not until 1684 did the observance become annual in ! w. will maintain the Monroe doctrine, eo on with the Massachusetts, and as a national holiday, its observance building of a bur naw. and eive an example of sound sane government to the English-speaking race. The ed is of bat recent date. After the civil war, it received an annual appointment for the last Thursday in November. itor of the Spectator, Mr. John St Loe Strachey, is an Its observance grows in favor all the time. The day is Oxford man, and a little over a year ago visited thi one for family reunions, for the home gatherings of scattered families and friends, and for special outward utterances of sincere and grateful thanks by both nation and individual. WILL OPEN EXPOSITION ON SUNDAY. Sunday on the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds will be observed in an enlightening and edifying manner. In stead of tightly closing the gates -all day, as was the case at St. Louis, they will be thrown open at noon, although all the machinery will be stopped, and all exhibit build ings, except the Palace of Fine Arts, will be closed. One of the greatest series of institutes the world has ever known is being planned by the Exposition, embrac ing religion, education, civics, charities and corrections, labor, science, history and woman's word. Notable men and women from all parts of the w rid will be secured to deliver addresses, including famous exponents of Bud dhism, Mohammedanism, and the religion of Confucius, A general program provides for an institute on each Sun day between June 1 and October 15. The plan of keep ing the Exposition open, besides giving the people a chance to hear some noted speakers and become enlight ened on many different subjects, affords an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful architecture of the buildings and to drink in the glories of the landscape picture and the surrounding scenery. Tis well A Democratic paper has proven the Republican party in favor of trusts. It says: "Of course the Republican party is in favor of monopolies. See how it has cornered the Tjotea-" country and was a guest at the White House. His nal is regarded as one of the foremost in the world. jour The Republicans of Missouri are rejoicing over the prospect of electing a senator from that state. It is now about thirty years since Senator Cockrell took his seat in the Senate, and it looks now as if his time had come gracefully retire, and rest upon his laurels. Only other Senator has served longer Allison of Iowa. to one Most of the union city governments in Connecticut were turned down at the last election. The majority against the stoker mayor, MulvihilL of Bridgeport, was some 4,000. He petered out as a reformer and became very narrow partisan. Summary action is to be taken by the administration in the case of officers of the Kural tamers .National as sociation, charged with partisan activity during the past campaign. Carriers who mixed in politics are to be fired by the president A liberal appropriation for exhibits at the Lewis and Clark fair will be the best investment the cotnties Oregon ever made. Mr. Thomas Taggert, of Indiana, says there no ex Dlainimr a cyclone. He should read up on weather bu reau literature. Beautiful sunny weather all nature seems imbued with a spirit of good cheer and thankfulness. Musings. Corned beef is a good substitute for tmrk. Tom and Jerry are in town for a brief Question of the day: What kind of aalad will we have? Evidently the great need of the day is some man that can stand before Prof, Jim Jeffries. every Oregon county ehoold move lively now about its exhibits at the Lewis and Clark fair. Tbey will pay big. Kustie : A young salesman confidentially in forms as that about the hardest thing a fellow can do is spark two girls at once and preserve a good average. Stage manager "See if the ballets are all dressed, it is time to ring np the curtain." Boy returns. "About ready sir. Got most of their clothes off." A man makes fan of the manner in which his wife keeps her account with the milkman, forgetting that some day be will handle hie life insurance in the same way, bat it won't matter then. A Portland paper says : Four girlish morsels cavorting upon tbe stage of the Colombia theatre in tnightrobee are a feature of tbe performance of "The Gay Parisians," which quite upsets expecta tions. Editor McKenney of the Glendale News is responsible for the statement that "Tbe kiss was originally the noble Roman's method of testing whether bis wife bad been tampering with tbe wine jog during his absence. The shoe is on tbe other foot. Have a clove?" Now that Thanksgiving feasts are ap proaching we desire to call Jim Mew land's attention to tbe example of a prominent citizen last year who ate half of a turkey, a plate of dressing, a quart of cranberry sauce, a mince pie, drank a half gallon of beer and left a widow and three children to mourn his loss. A hint to the wise is sufficient. We feel like hurrahing over the na tional election; but every time our month gets into just the proper shape to emit a blood-curdling and hair-lifting yell, we see prohibition returns from Coos county in great big poster type r.n 1 are so overcome with emotion that the yell is forgotten, says Editor Roberts of tbe Myrtle Point Enterprise. Lest We Fail (A Thanksgiving Prayer.) Father, whilst their hymns of praise With joyful hearts tbe people raise, List, O list, my humble prayer, Grant as yet Thy watchful care. Thou hast given plenteous store For our needs, and something more J Hast bestowed, with generous hand Bounteous harvests on the land ; Let not pride of wealth or station, Curse with arrogance, tbe nation. Teach Thy righteous justice still, Last we fail to work Thy will. Thou hast led us far astray From the old accustomed way ; Thou hast given problems new ; Brought unwonted paths to view ; Father, teach us what to do That unto Thy charge we're true. Guide, we pray, our footsteps still, Lest we fail to work Thy will. Thou hast kept us safe from harm Cast aside war's rude alarm, Given that, not forced nor bought, Free to choose, the right we've sought ; Keep we pray, our conscience bright, Lest wrong may win by forceof might ; Grant we bear our brother's failing Without anger or bewailing ; Teach forgiving patience still Lest we fail to work Thy will. Thou hast hearts with mercy filled ; Worldly breasts with pity thrilled Till tbey have, from out their store Princely sums laid at Thy door ; Grant content with honest labor, Lest we covet of our neighbor, Lest envy to hatred grow, Lett we ape vainglorious show ; Let. us trust each other still. Lest we fail to work Thy will. Thou hast let Thy children see Powers that are but toys to Thee, On Thy magic screen unrolled Wonders great and manifold ; While the part within Thy hand Holdeth promise still more grand ; Let not our o'er weening pride Boast itself Thy throne beside Lest we should presumptous stand, Take the gift and curse the hand ; Father, make us reverent still Lest we fail to work Thy will. Uao. H. Wiius, Urockway, Ore. Turkeys Roosting High. Portland, Nov. 22. Twenty-fiv cents a pound is the ruling retail price for a good dressed, turkey today. Tl market is very firm, and although sup plies in the wholesale district were larger, a better demand prevailed. The higher prices on turkeys and the gen eral shortage in the supplies of birds are causing the chicken market to take an upward move. Portland Gamblers Convicted. Portland, Nov. 22.-After deliberat ing lees than 25 minutes on the evidence submitted to them, the jury in tbe case against Eugene Blazier, accused of hav ing conducted a roulette game on July 21, returned a verdict of guilty, charged, at 12 :23 o'clock this afternoon Immediately after the return of the ver dict, Circuit Judge Frazer, before whom the case was tried, informed Deputy District Attorney Moeher, in open court that Blazier had committed flagrant per jury upon the witness stand and that such a charge against him should be in vestigated by the county grand jury. be in cHecial recognition f the fact that Missouri gives him her electoral vote and will send a Republican to the United States senate.

('. Nov. 22. Theo dore Roosevelt will henceforth devote all his energies to beeosniag a pastnrial and not a political president. He Brill, dur ing the remainder of his iscwflflbency, igmre the recommendations of iiliti- cians, working to obey and Mesas ti e people. Mr. Roosevelt believes his triumphant election is due tb the peo ple and not to partisan leaders, politi cians or machines, lie proposes here after to deal with the people at first hands. He intends to mingle much with the masses and become actiiainlel with their necessities and wishes. He will familiarize himself with their lesires. He will appoint to federal of fices only such men as are acceptable to the people. In making these selections he w ill not be influenced ly consulta tions with senators, representatives and other leaders. It is clearly realized by Mr. Roosevelt that in ignoring the recommendations of politicians in appointing men to office and distributing federal patronage he may antagonize the senate and Bxper- ience difficulty IN SKIT RING CONriKTMN. He does not anticipate any conflict now. as he believes that in making ap pointments without recommend itions from leaders he will save pnl lie men much trouble and embarrassment and enable them to inform their constituents that it is useless to seek positions, as the president has men already in rie to till them. If the indorsements of the lead ers coincide with the -listhe of the iho- ple it will please the president better. No discrimination wiil be made in ignoring recommends' ions f per sons to lill high positions of trust and respoMfilnlitv. He certainly cannot personally visit the various HtateH and communities and aopiaint himself witl the local conditions and express wishes of the people regarding feder.il oppoifl incuts, hence, must trust to the jndg meat and integrity of agents or speci representatives in making recommenda tions for such apiMiintinents. It then lore dees BOt stand to reason that a agent or representative would lie as mi partial and well qualified to judge the qualifications, fitness and pi pularity of a candidate for a federal position as art the state s or district a representatives in congress, who have beeu elected 1 the pejl file and in all cases have fully familiarised themselves with the life career of the prospective otlicial, or hav tieen .rsonal!y and intimate!;.- ac Quainted with the candidate lor -.ears as well .is with his constituency, ind therefore far more coniietent and lietter qualified to in ke recommendations t the President than could be mad .

It is to lie hoped that in bis endeavor to .lemon'" rate his gratitude to the peo ple for their late demonstration of conti deuce in his statesmanship ami diplo- c, the president will not inaugurate i v radical measures which wi.l tall short el the object or end desired.

The reaction over. Miss Patterson calmed herself and said: 'The first day is over and I find noth ing to hurt me." Her face was pale and bloodless and looked almost chalky against the somber setting of that the people must be reckonel with first before the loaders receive any crumbs. After tbe same fashion machines and party organmtioiH will not be given recognition. This action will hi based on the ptesj- dent's declaration that he is under no pledge, obligation or promise to any in dividual or group of men, that he has no party debts to pay aud tlut he wi. only the l-SOPLK WHO El.ElTEO THKV.

In making effective his plan to gain a better acquaintance with the public, Mr. Roosevelt will invade the solid South. The tour, based ou a visit to the birth place of bis mother in (.icorgia, will give an opportunity to explain to tbe people of the South just exactly what his atti tude is on the race question. He will declare that h has never sought to es tablish race equality. He does not con sider this possible or desirable. He will assert that his only idea is to recognize manhood wherever it is found, either in white or black, and that he seeks to elevate manhood in the negro. He will make a strong presentation of his views on this subject. He believes that through such action a better feeling be tween the North and South will be es tablished. It is the intention of th president to make many trips throughout all portions of the country. He will begin at once by going to the exhibition at St. Iiiis. This journey will lie in the nature of A TKIl'MI'H.W. I'ROCKSSIOS. He will go via one route and return by another.

Police Sergeant Walter Noma of the Ieonard street station where the defendant was brought when arrested, was first witness today. He identified the re volver which Policeman Junior hand ed to him when he brought Miss Pat terson in. It contained three loaded shells, one exploded shell and one empty cylinder. i 'apuin Sweeney identified the re volver and said he talked with the defendant at the station after the shooting. She said Young shot him self and the first she knew was when she heard a muffled shot and her com panion fell over in her lap. She said they had been quarreling in the cab The cabman testified that the cab hid lieen engaged by a man and woman. He recognized the defend ant, hut could not identify Young from a photograph.

Klamath Falls, Or., Nov. 21, Sher iff Obenchain left this morning for Sa lem, in charge of Walter Lerwell and J. 8. Stevens, sentenced to eight and ten years respectively, in the peniten tiary. Lerwell and Stevens 'are from Douglas county and were found guilty at this term of circuit court of cattle-stealing. (Lerwell and Stevens were residents of Purdue, this county. Little is known here of Stevens. Lerwell is the son of the man who served a year in the peni tentiary for assaulting a man named Horn with a dangerous weapon, near Perdue, about four years ago. Lerwell's flight from the officers and subsequent capture is well remembered from the fact that one of bis captors brought him to the earth with a rifle bullet, which penetrated his arm and furrowed along the surface of his breast.)
