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. It will be noticed , ho" , .

ever , that the president places no
bar in the way of activity on the
part of federal oO ceholders who
may desire to stipport other aspirants -
pirants for the nomination , although -
though it is clear that he would
prefer that such holders of government - '
ment , positions keep themselves
free from "olTensive partisanship"
in the work of selecting convention -
tion delegates.
THe president's determi na lion
tel discourage otliceholders from
seeking to dominate the nouuna-
tion convention is worthy of all
approbation , as tending to the
good of the federal service and to
make the ticket as finally constituted -
tuted truly representative of the
sentiment of the republican rank
and file when it shall have been
more completely crystalized.-
