After six years spent in bringing to trial tho members of Benson-Hyde land fraud ring of San Francisco, and the ulti mate conviction of two members of the ring, the government is going to turn its attention to recovering title to 250,000 acres of public timber land which, for the most part, was fraudulently acquired by the convict ed men an their employes and con federates.

Of this num ber something more than 200 have passed tho patent, and suits are now pending In the various United States courts to set osido the patents on tho ground that they were obtained by fraud.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Tho president has issued tho annual! Thanksgiving proclamation, setting apart Thursday, November 2C, as "a day of thanksgiving and prayer." "Year by year," declares the pro clamation, "this nation grows In strength and wordly power. During the century and a quarter that has elapsed since our entry Into the cir cle of independent people we have grown and prospered in material things to a degree never before known, and not known in any other country. The thirteen colonies which straggled along the seacpast of the Atlantic and were hemmed in but a few miles west of tidewater by the Indian haunted wilderness, have been transformed into tho mightiest republic which the world has ever seen. Its domains stretch across the continent from one to the other of the greatest oceans, and It exercises dominion alike in the Arctic and tropic realms. The growth in wealth and population has surpassed even tho growth In territory. Nowhere else In the world Is the average of Individual comfort and material well being as high as in our fortunate land. "For the very reason thus abound ed, we owe to the Almighty to show equal progress In moral and In spiri tual things. With a nation, as with the individuals who make up a na tion, material well-being Is an indis peiisible foundation. But the foun dation avails nothing of itself. That life is wasted and worse than wasted which Is spent in piling, heap on heap, those things which minister merely to tho pleasure of tho body and to the power that rests only on wealth. Upon material well-being as a foundation must be raised tho structure of tho lofty life of the spirit, if this nation is properly to fulfil Its great mission and accom plish all wo so ardently hope and desire. The things of the body are good, tho things of tho intellect bet ter, but best of all things of the soul, for In tho nation, as in the in dividual, in the long run it is char acter that counts. Let us, therefore as a 'people, set our faces resolutely against ovil arid with broad charity with friendliness and good will to- ,., waru uii iiiun, uul wua iiuihiii;iiiiib i determination to smite down wrong strive with all tho strength that Is . given us for righteousness in public and In private life."

When tho American Federation of Labor met in annual convention hore, tho popularity of Gompers was attested when ho rose to call tho convention to order.
