When First ; We Gave Thanks I - I Tile Original Proclamation Was Issued in 1677 and Copy of It Still In Existence. Thc' first Thanksgiving proclamation - clamation issued was in 1677 nttd a copy is said to be preserved iu the Massachusetts State Historical - cal Society. - . . . Dunng the revoluhnary tunes many thanksgiving days were J ordered , and congress always ac1journed on the day set. Gen. Washington issued a Thanksgiving - giving proclamation to the continental - tinental army Th rsday.Dec. . 18 , 1777 , and again at Valley [ ! 'orgc , on May 7 , 1778. Eleven years later-as presidcnt of the United States-he issued the first national - tional Thanksgiving procla- mation. Congress discusRed , with the seriousness of the timcs , the ad- visibility of requesting the president - dent to issue such a proc1ama- tbn and many wr the objections raised. However. in spite of objection - jection , the presidcnt was request cd to issue the national proclamation - mation dnd did so , appinting as T'lanksgiving ' Day , Thursday , Nov. 26 , 1789. : ' The book of Common Prayer , revis d in 1789 for the use of the Protestant Episcopai church in America , directed a 'Iform of prayer and thanksgiving t 0 Ah iJrhty God for thc fruits of the earth , and aU other blessings of His mlrclful pruidence ; to be used yearly on he first Thursday in November. r on such other day as shall be appointed by the civil authority. " From Washington's time to Lincoln the issuance of a proclamation - lamation was of an intermittent cha racter. Sometimes a - president - dent thought of it , but more ofleu he did not. Quit fre.quent- . ly governors of' states issued 'a request for thl' general observance - ance of some one day in the year as one of thanksgiving and prayer in their particular commonwealths - monwealths , but it was not until - til 1863 that such prac1am ion becam a settled national teature. President Lincoln-after 'the battle of Gettvsburgo-is5ued a ' proclamation r 'commendiug the p ople to set apart Aug. 6th , to be observed as a day of national thanksgiving , praise land prayer I to Almighty God. " The next year he issued another proclamation - - tion , and since then -president has neglected to issue an annual 'fhanksgiving proclamation. . - - - - - - Repressing Federal Office Holders. Pr sldent l ooevelt's Jetter. to members of his cabinet. req sting - ing them to inform federal employes under their jurisdiction - tion to restrain irom political activity - tivity with the object of his re nomination is in keeping with the policy of non-inferference in politics by the federal brigade which has been enforced Ihore vigorously nnder Mr. Roosevelt than under any former chief ex- ecutive. It is notice , in effect , that whatever the outcome of the next republican national convention - vention , the charge cannot be successfully made that bYlpassive permission- president has set his renomination. The part in point of the president's letter to members of his cabinet follows : "I am informed that certain officeholders in your department holding various positionsthrough- out the country contemplate attending - tending republican conventions m their respective states and nrging the indorsement of myself - self for the presidential uomlna- tion. I wish that you would direct fe eral officeholders in your , department who have such a tl1ing in view that I would regard - gard it as an act of official im- porpriety and discourtesy. " 'fhe letter , it is understood. was provoked because of the report - port that federal officeholders in the south have been using their influence either to be sent themselves or to nave delegates ! sent to the republican convention - ! tion instructed for Mr. Hoosevelt. ! By making it plain that this proce Jurc would constitute "an ! I act of official impropriety and l discourtesy" the president has gone as far as he could in self- I protection against unscrupulous . critics.
