Pursuant to venerabls custom, originating in 1639, the first vear of the histery of zhl- commonwealth, I appomt Thursday, the 30th day of ber, as a day of THANKSGIVING to Almighty God for the blessings of - %Vgflo during its course other coun- tries have been and are the seat of war, and of all the sadness and suffer- ing that war involves, our own land has been in perfect peace. For this; for t strong foundations of civil go ernment that our fathers laid; for the long life of republican inetitutions in Ceonnecticut as colony and state; an for free Ame: I recommend that on ihe date above mentioned our peoplie gather in their homes and churches to render reveremt praise and thanks to the Giver of All Good. Given under my hand and seal of the state, at the capitol in Hartford, this flflt day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eleven, and the independence of the Tinited States the one hundred and thirty-sixth.

The Red Cross seals, the profit on which is applied in the battle against the white plague, are te be sold in every postoffice in the United States; and it is hoped that one hundred mil- lion of the stamps will be sold before New Year’s. For this work it Is an- nounced that an army of 50,000 paid and volunteer workers will cover the entire country. Since the Americans by actual count, number 93,927,000 souls, it will not be an extravagant feat to sell less than seven million more stamps than there are people, The purchase of one Red Cross seal apiece will ~almost achieve it; and if those who can afford to do so use them pretty constantly upon their December letters the stunt ought readily to be accomplished. THE AGRICULTURAL DEPART- MENT. The agricuttural department at Washingten calls for reform because its attitude toward Dr. Wiley and the pure food law 1s making it and the administration ridiculous. The Washington correspondent of a reputable Bosten paper says: “While President Taft was swinging around the eircle on a wider tour of travel than has been pursued by any other head of this nation, preaching the doc- trine of peace amd enunciating various civie policies, one of his cabinet offi- cers has persisted in ignoring orders of his chief relative to department matters. Secretary Wilson has ut- terly failed in carrying out the Taft decision In regard to the pure food controversy, leaving Dr. Wiley help- less in the hands of his foes. “Either through density of under- standing or perversity of will, the anti-Wiley cabal in the department of agricuiture is still on the job, neu- trallging the labors of the pure food champion. Dr. Rusby, whe was in the storm center of the department squabble between his friend and collaborator of Wiley, is being starved out of his post, not having yet received the stipend which the president seemed to endorse. On the other hand, Solicitor McCabe is still in power, checkmating the chemist and pursuing the even tenor of bis way, just as if President Taft had done nmothing to straighten out the tan- gle in favor of Dr. Wiley.” MURDER TOO LENIENTLY DEALT WITH.

'Notwithstanding the centinuous fight made against the liguor trafic and {the number of states which have gone for prohibifion there has been a steady increase in the amount of liquor drumk per person on the average since 1901.

This table shows that the hard times and close money caused a falling off in the consumption of liquor from 1893 until 1899. In 1900 the old per capita was nearly reached, and there has since been Ho diminishment. As a showing, this is not creditable to the American people. THANKSGIVING VENISON. The open season for shooting deer in Massachusetts comes right in time for a distribution of venison for Thanks- giving. It is probable that more than 1,600 deer were shot, and from 10 to 15 tons of venmison is in private hands as the result. It is reported that on the first day over 300 were killed in the state, an increase of 30 over the first day of the previous year. A man from Spring- field brought dewn a 250-pound buck at a Wilbraham mountain spring where it had gone to drink. At Granaville a party of three shot two deer, one a buck of 212 pounds and the other a doe of 219 pounds. In Prescott two buck were killed, one welighing 250 pounds and the other 175. Similar re- ports are coming in from many towns. At Greenfield a man shot a heifer for a deer, and in some instances beys and men have been mistaken for the innocent animals. From the town of Warren comes the report that a wounded buck found in the highway was clubbed to death with a stick of cordwood in the hands of a teamster. Considering the tameness of the deer and the fierceness of the hunters, there is a great deal of cruelty being shown up, which takes the luster from this so-called sport. If mere hummnity is not shown, the ‘Worcester Gazette says the state may abolish the present method of reduc- ing the deer in numbers, which 1is nothing short of brutal assassination, and substitute for it the trapping of deer by state autherities. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Bulletin blue-ribboned turkeys looked good enough to eat! different perhaps, i it Everything would be someone else did it; but, would be ne better. If Senator Stephenson is not guilty he has no relish for a repetition of his ! open-handed campaign. Since Colonel Rooseveit has declared ghimself to be out of politics, it is fair to presume he means it. On Andrew Carnegie’s 76th birthday he called Rooseveit a ‘“splurge.” He was old enough to know better. The Kansas daisies who tarred the schoolma’am tarred the whole state {and themselves with the same stick. It is surprising how long it is after the straw hat has farewelled that the gauze stocking defies the thermometer. ‘We learn from the west, Indianapolis calls it “Shanksgiving.” This is not so far from the truth as it may look! Having had its experience with opium China recognizes that the cig- arette is something to put its foot on at once. The Boston Record thinks the pres- ent style of football may yet be le- gally proceeded against as a game of chance! The Vermont turkey which finds its way to the feast as a native is some- times better than the bird for which it is mistaken. While we are shipping many cargoes of Bibles to Africa, the Boston Tran- script says, we are still ballasting the carge with rum. Colonel Bryan’s Commoner is not supporting Champ Clark for the pres- ‘idency. But Speaker Clark spoke well of Colonel Bryan. Happy thought for today: Remem- ber the flavor of the feast is improved by the glad hearts of those who have received of your beounty. those Of the 34 dom’ts for who speak in public, the most important is “Don’t forget to sit right down the moment you close.” Rhode Island has frowned down the turkey raffles; but the chances for Christmas goods at church fairs are in no danger of being tabooed. | After the turkeys and plum pudding have been done away with, the general interest in Christmas may confidently ‘h(; expected to quicken a little.. i et | i Bible Questien Bex Your Bible guestions will be an- swered in these columns or by mail lE‘-a t to our Bible Question Box iter.

Then the union of Christ, the Bri and the Chureh, the Bride, will take place: for “the marriage of the Lamb will have come, and His Wife will have made herself ready.” (Revelation xix, 7.) The invitation will then go forth to the world, “Come and partake of the water of life freely.” HEALTH RULES Placards for Distribution in Bridgepert.

LEGAL RIGHTS OF A STREET CAR CONDUCTOR. May Eject Pal;engor Who Persists in Blocking Up Vestibule. ,Beoston, Nov. 28.—A street car conduc- tor may eject a passenger who has paid his fare if the passenger refuses to go inside the car or get off when the conductor requests that the vesti- bule be cleared, according to a decis- ion rendered today by the full bench in the Massachusetts supreme court. The court held that while a custom may exist which permits passengers to ride in the rear vestibule of a car, vet when a conduc. r notifies a pas- senger to go inside the car or get off that custom ceases to be of conse- quence. The decision was given in a case against the Berkshire Street Raill- way company. TO RELIEVE WOMEN OF EMBARRASSMENT. May Not Be Required te Give Their Age to Become Voters.
