Thanksgiving day, our own peculiar holiday
Is here again and we have exceptional reason
once more to be thankful that this nation has
not been embroiled In the terrible conflict at
arms still wsglng In Europe.
A year ago we all congratulated ouraelves
and expressed our deep-felt thankfulness that
the ominous war. If it had to come, bad broken
far from our bordera, and we were expectant of
the early arrival of the time when peace nego
tlatlons might be begun with our offer of medl
allon Inspiring the belief that our country might
be of service In bringing about this desired
result. While our bopes of restored peace have
been grievously dlaappotnted, we continue hap
plly In the position of neutrality, and the possi
bility remains that the good offices of the United
Statee may yet be availed of In the peace-making.
With the dread war spectacle absorbing such
universal attention, the many other blessings
which the people of this country have enjoyed
In consequence of remaining at peace seem of
minor Importance, yet they are real and tangi
ble and so generally reallred as not to require
enumeration.
To be a cltlsen of ancient Rome used to be
the highest ambition and boast, and to be a
citizen of the United States today means more
than It ever did, and more, In rights and respon
slbllltles than cltlKenshlp of any other country
on the face of the globe. Every true American
citizen, above all, must be thankful that he Is a
cltlsen of this great and foremost republic.
Nothing; Contradictory There.
The personal organ of our democratic senator
conjures up a aomethlng "somewhat contradic
tory" In the statement promulgated by John L.
Kennedy outlining his candidacy for the senator
ial succession. It wants him to "explain how
we are to 'expand our foreign trade' after we
have enacted high tariffs that will prevent the
Introduction of foreign gooda Into this country,"
and asks further, "How are the people of foreign
nations to pay for our goods if we refuse to buy
goods of tbem? Any country that does not Im
port ag well as export cannot long engage in
foreign trade at all."
But the explanation Is as simple as A B C.
It Is merely a question whether we shall Import
goods from cheap labor countries in competition
with what could be produced here by well paid
labor, or Import from those countries the raw
material for our manufacturers, and other
articles which do not deprive our wage-earners
of their legitimate work.
Never fear, there are plenty of things we
want, made in Europe and South America and in
the Orient, and all over the world, that we can
not produce at all and which they are ready to
exchange for our products if the conditions of
trade are mutually beneficial. We bad a pro
tective tariff almost continuously for fifty years.
during which our foreign trade continued to In
crease steadily, for the very reason rnat we thus
developed our own Industrial resources and
talents; otherwise w would still be an almost
wholly agricultural country, sending abroad the
yield of farm, forest and mine, and Importing the
same materials back In their manufactured form.
No, there la no contradiction there at all.
Building up our home Industries also builds up
our foreign trade and alone can make us the
effective factor in world commerce we want to be.
Get the Money Back.
It la quite flattering to our state pride to
have the atate treasurer tell us he has had in
quiries from capitalists eager to Invest In Ne
braska bonds and offering to loan ua their
money at an Interest rate of 3 per cent. This
is assuming that the capitalist has real money
nd Is In earnest and Is not relying on the com
mon knowledge that we have no state bond on
the market and are barred by our constitution
from Issuing any. Nebraska, however, has a lot
of Its trust funds Invested In securities of other
statea which it would be good business to dis
pose of and to reinvest the proceeds in bonds of
our own cities, counties and school districts, for
use In developing our own resources, and meet
ing the needs of our own people. It was a griev
ous mistake In the first place to Invest any part
of the "public school endowment In bonds of far
away statea like Tennessee, Virginia, Idaho and
Massachusetts, for the benefit of the Deoule of
those states, when we1 In Nebraska are still In
viting foreign capital to come here. If the bond
market is reaching a point where these long
distance trust fund securities can be disposed of
without loss and the money brought back again
and put to work at home we should take advan-
age of the situation, for in no other way can we
secure the fullest returns from our money.
Overselling- Steel Production.
In their eagerness for profitable contracta
abroad It la now apparent that American steel
manufacturers have oversold the oroducln
capacity of the country and home conaumptlon
ruuat wait. In every line of lnduatry demanding
steely domestic: consumers are experiencing dif

log prices and possible failure to obtain the
goods when they are really wanted.' While to one

the domestic demand ahould not have the first
call, for while steel workers are going overtime
to till foreign orders, other American workers
must be left Idle for lack or materia with which

THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1915.
First Proclamation
for Thanksgiving
rp HAT tha last Thumday in November will be set
A aside by the President for a day of thanksgiving
and a general holiday la alwaya taken for granted
because of the yearly repetition of thla act ainca 1M1
The most of us who read the newspaper announce
ment of the day chosen have little Idea of the com
plicated processes involved In the Issuance of the
annual proclamation.
When Governor Bradford lesued tha first Thank
giving proclamation, he elmply announced on Novem
ber 1. 1S2I, that December IS, 11. would be observed
throughout the Plymouth Colony aa a day of Thanks
giving. He also appointed four men to "go fowl
Ing, that they might, after a more special manner,
rejoice together."
Thla was a most simple ceremony when contrasted
with the weight of detail and labor which accompany
the Issuance of the proclamation of today. Formality
has been added to formality through the many years
of the observance of the custom with the result tMt
the present method of giving this document to the
public is a very serious and high ceremony.
The president's task Is no easy one to say In new
words, or In another manner what has been said so
well and fittingly so many times before. Rut once the
eiact form has been decided upon and dictated to a
menograpner a copy Is made and sent to the "late
depsrtment. Here one of the clerks who make a spe
cialty of artistic penmanship engrosses R upon parch
ment and It then returns to the White House to re
ceive the president's elgnature. Then It travels bark
to the State department, where the elgnature of the
secretary of state attests that of tha president, and
the great seal of the State department Is then affixed
Afterward conlea nf the document mrm am
Jiot typewritten by clerks of tha State department,
un me long snrets or mue paper used Tor official cor
respondenc and sent to esch governor of the states
and territories, who In turn makes a proclamation of
hla own.
Rut In the meantime the proclamation of the presl
dent haa been made public and tha people all ovat
the country know what day has been chosen f.
Thanksgiving.
Tha first Thsnksglvlna dar nroclamatlnn ever
Issued by a president was slaned bv Oenr w..h.
Ington In 17W. and was made by request of both houses
of congress through tholr Joint committee. Tha text
of thla elaborate proclamation following the preamble
Is:
"Now, therefore. I do recommend and in Tnnr..

THE MODERN THANKSGIVING.
In davs rone by. old Father Tim.
Aa up llfea hill we onward climb.
Has wonders worked. In a modern way;
but gives ue still Thank-giving Day.
We love the shouts of girl and boy.
We hall the pumpkin rl with Joy.
The happy hearts are young anl gay.
Nor stop to th'nk of the modern way.
As off to grandpa's house they go.
The road are fine. No need of snow.
Wa hear "Honk!'' Honk!" as forth they
sway
In pleasant weather th modern way.
'Tl smiling grandma at the -loor.
The kindly face we love, adore.
Rli-h b!elng( at the threshold lay.
We welcome gMd Thanksgiving day.
We ulei Inside, and there behoM
The protTese of the times retold. ,
The turkey has its part to play.
We drink to health, and the modern
way.
I know not what the future brings.
But I suppose It's marvelous things.
The wealth and riches make us gey.
But let's go back, Thanksgiving Day.
