(Journal Special BrrW.)
Washington, D. C. Nov. 21. Present
signs point to rather quiet Thanksgiv
ing tor the national capital tomorrow.
hUuiy public officials have left for their
homes in other parte of the country to
eat their dinners of turkey, and cran
berry sauce. Included among the ab
sentees are several members of the cab
inet. The occupants of the White House, will
pass the day after the usual custom.
Some changes In the usual program will
be necessitated, however, by the fact
that the president has fixed tomorrow
night aa the time for his departure for
St. Louis. In view of this circumstance
It is probable that he will And it nec
essary to spend a part of the day with
Secretary Loeb and hla assistants. In
stead of closing the executive offices en
tirely, aa he haa done In past years.
But if there Is any business to trans
act at the White House It will not be
permitted to Interfere in the slightest
with the Thanksgiving dinner. The

observance of the day W1tn"a.-gTd," OTS

that all of the members of his family
shall be present on this occasion. There
are no house guests at the White House
thts year, but a number of intimate
frlenda in official life have received In
vitations to partake of the feast. Mr.
Roosevelt will carve his own turkey,
which will be a Rhode Island bird of
the finest breed.
Each year at Thanksgiving time the
noblest gobbler In all that little state

a- quarter of a oentury has taken pride
In making this annual contribution to
the table of the White House. Turkeys
from other quarters have been received
at the White House during the week.
These were distributed this morning by
Secretary Loeb among the ushers, door

the sale period some of the deeds trans
ferred the entire rights In the land to

retaining mineral right by theVompany
Is to be resumed cannot be learned.

land of a bona fide setUer who desires
to acquire these few acres from the

pany, under the administration of Land
Agent George H. Andrews, was liberal.
The view waa taken that It was really
better for the railway company to get
settlers on the land at any price rather
than hinder development of the territory
contiguous to the railway line by keep-"
ing the lands Idle and unproductive.
It Is thought that under the present
management there will be a continuance
of a fairly liberal policy, and If thts
prevails the coming year Is expected
to bring great results In the growth of

Salem, Or., Nov. It. Governor Cham
berlain yesterday received a letter from
W. A. Richards, commissioner of the
general land office, which refers to a
recent decision and Is of far-reaching
Importance to certain purchasers of
state lands. The letter Incidentally of
fers apology for ill founded accusations
against Governor Chamberlain relative
to the making public of official corre
spondence. 1
The decision will have the effect of
depriving a large number of settlers and
other Investors who have innocently
purchased land from the state-believing
It to be a legitimate purchase and that
the state hsd the power to give valid
title as soon as the payments were
made.
During previous administrations thou
sands of - acres of Indemnity lands
were applied for by the state In
lieu of school lands alleged to Be
mineral in character These appli
cations for indemnity lands have
been held up for several years by the
general land office at Washington and
in many oases finally rejected after the
Indemnity lands had been sold by ths
state to Innocent parties.
Recognising the great loss which
would accrue to the purchasers of these
Isnds Governor Chamberlain more than
a year ago took up the matter with the
commissioner of the general land office,
saying:
"Under the authority of an act of
the legialature It has heretofore been
the practice of the several state land
boards to Issue certificates of aales
or deeds In the name of the state as
soon as the selection wss accepted by
the local officers, that in many Instance
the selection would fall because of the
invalidity of the base assigned, that
while many of the purchases were for
speculation, there are instances where
purchases have been made by persons
innocent of wrong doing and who will
be Injured by the failure of the state
to acquire title to its selected land, un
less ths department will afford them
protection.
"I ask that you adopt a rule whereby,
after final cancellation of an indemnity
selection that has been sold by ths
state, the pucuuaer will be given a
preference right for 0 days to acquire
tlUe under some one of the land tows
of the United States."

of the. Interior, and said he believed It
would be pernicious to adopt such a rule,
but that "under existing rules the
stats has It with la Its power to pro
tect such of Its grantees as It sees fit
to protect against the emissaries of
corporations and other professional land
speculators, vis.: It may. within (0
day a allowed for appeal, amend Its selec
tion by the substitution of a valid base,
or If unable to furnlah sucb base. may.
upon receipt of notice that the selection
is held for cancellation, make a formal
relinquishment of the selection and give
same to Its grantee.
"While the selection is of record and
uncanceled the land Is segregated, and
the purchaser holding the states re
linquishment may present It with his
application and thereby secure the right
of entry. Of course, if the state's
grantee Is a qualified settler an the land
he la protected by his settlement, this
right would immediately ajttach upon the
cancellation of the selection and he
would have 00 days to place his claim
of record."
This letter was transmitted by Secre
tary Hitchcock to Governor Chamber
lain, and the state land board, adopting
It an a rule, printed blank forma and
notified every purchaser of indemnity
land whose titles had failed of thla
right. He was then refunded the money
paid the stats and armed with the
state's relinquishment, went to his local
land office and filed upon the land with
scalp or under other federal laws.

Yesterday Governor Chamberlain re
celved a letter-of Inatructlons In reply
to a second query dated November 16.
1(04, In which Commissioner Richards
retracts all his former statements, giv
ing as an excuse that the letter of Octo
ber II, ISM, was not a decision, but
simply a report to the secretary of the
Interior relative to the general subject
of. Indemnity school selections made
upon aiiegea mineral dssvs.
He now lays down the rule end haa
so Instructed the officials of. the land
offices at Oregon City, Roseburg 'and
The Dalles, that purchasers of state In
demnity lands have no lights on account
'of possessing relinquishments from the
stats and that tbe registers and re
ceivers of the land ' offices are advised
that their proper action Is to forward
the Indemnity selections to the general
land office for consideration, and not to
receive any application for the lands
until the selections had been canceled
by that office and tbe cancellation noted
on the records of the local offices. In
other Words, until the land had reverted
to Si. government and been again
thrown open for settlement, giving the
original purchaser from the state no
opportunity of securing the lands from
the government, other than Is accorded
to any Individual or corporation posses
sing sen
WTJ1 Benefit Corporations. -
Governor Chamberlain stated tost
night that the board had. since he had
been In office, refunded upward of 110,
00 to persons who had purchased In
demnity lands from the state before the J
line or me state naa oeen ciearea ana
wherein the applications had Anally been
rejected. Acting under the advice of
Commissioner Richards, many of these
people have atnee taken relinquishment
from the state and filed on the lands
under the federal tow. However, this
decision makes every one of these Sl
ings Invalid, unless by special dispensa
tion the land department passes favora
bly upon those applications which have
already been accepted by local land
offices and wherein the applicant to llv
Ing on the land In good faith. All of
the thousands of cases now pending,
wherein people have purchased Indem
nity lends now rejected by the land
office, the purchasers will receive their
money back from the state, but will not
hare the opportunity of securing the
lands from the government, ss corpora

lookout to flle on all lands reverting to
the government.

(Journal Hpert.l terries.)
Washington, Nov. 23. Before a large
Washington audience yesterday after
noon President Roosevelt 'introduced the
author of "The Simple Life," Rev.
Charles Wagner, who delivered a lec
ture. In bis Introductory remarks tbe
president said In part:
"This Is ths first, and will be the only
time, during my presidency that I shall
ever introduce a speaker to an audience.
and I am more than glad to do It, in
this Instance, because If there Is one
book which I should like to have read
aa a tract and also, - which Is not In
variably true of tracts, as an interesting
tract, br ail our people, it la "The Simple
Life," written by Mr. Wagner."
In comparing the brutal arrogance of
the rich man toward the poor man and
the envy and hatred of the latter toward
tbe former, the president said:
'Mr. Wagner has well brought out the
great fundamental truth that the brutal
arrogance of a rich man who looks down
upon a poor man because he Is poor, and
the brutal envy and hatred felt by
poor man toward a rich man merely be
cause he Is rich, are, at the bottom, ths
manifestation of the same vice. Thi
arrogance that looks down In one case,
tue envy tnat is reit in another, are
really exhibitions of ths same base end
unlovely spirit that happens to be In one
case in different surroundings from
whst It Is In another case."
Speaking of the Ideal man he said:
"The Ideal man should be Just and
generous; the broad-minded man is as
Incapable of arrogance If rich as hs la
of malignant snvy and hatred if poor.'
Discussing the danger that threatens
a republic when It tends to become a re
public of classes Roosevelt said:
"No republic can permanently exist
when it becomes a republic of classes
where the marl feels not the Interest of
tbe whole people but the Interest of the.
particular class to which he belongs,
or fancies that he belongs, as being of
prime Importance. In antiquity, re
publics failed aa they did because they
tended to become either a republic of
the few or exploited the many, or a re
public of the many who plundered th
few, and in either case the end of the
republic was never In doubt. Just so In
ene case as In the other, and no more
so in one than In the other. We can
kc-p this republic true to the principles
Of those who founded and of those wffo
afterward preserved It; we can keep
it a republic only by remembering that
we must live up to the theory of Its
founders, to the theory of treating each
man on his worth as a Man, neither hold
ing It for or against him that he c
cuples any particular station in life, so
long as be doee his duty fairly and
well by hla fellows and by the nation.
as a whole."
In expressing the feeling he had for
the Toung Men s snd Women's Christian
Associations he said: - -
"The profound regard which I have
always felt for those responsible for the
work of the Toung Men's Christian
Association end the Toung Women's
Christian Association Is largely be
cause they have practically realised, or
at least have striven practically to
realise the Ideal of adherence to the test
which runs, "Be ye doers of the word
and not heereis only.' If you come
here with only the Idea of passing a
pleasant afternoon and then go home and
do net actually practice some of Mr.
Wagner's preac.nl nan. then small Is the
nse of your coming. It Is not the slight
est use to bear the word if you don't
try to, put It Into effect afterward. The
Toung Men's Christian Associations
have accomplish ad much because those
who have . managed them have triad
practically to do their part In bringing
about what la expected In the phrase,
the fatherhood of God and brotherhood
of man.'"
the president then said: "We ran
