NEW ENGLAND CUSTOM
That Has Been* Handed Down
to the Present Day—Its
True Significance.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day and
it will be observed as a holiday in
Grand Forks and North Dakota gen
erally. The postofflce, banks, public
offices of all kinds, schools and col
leges will be closed. The merchants
will close their places of business at
noon, and all lines of work will be
stopped generally.
Mayor Duis today issued the fol
lowing Thanksgiving proclamation:
Mayor's Office, Grand Forks, North
Dakota:
Grand Forks city and her citizens
have much to be thankful for. Abund
ant crops throughout the state have
resulted in a continuance of pros
perity, and the steady development
and growth of the city, the good health
of the community and the absence of
epidemics are all good reasons for
returning thanks to the Almighty, who
is responsible for our condition, on
the day set apart by the president of
the United States and the governor of
North Dakota.
It is urged that on Thanksgiving
day (Thursday) we refrain from our
usual labors and return thanks in a
reverent manner to the Giver of all
good, for the blessings bestowed dur
ing the year.
—Geo. E. Duis, Mayor.
In the churches of Grand Forks,
Thanksgiving day will be observed
with the usual services. The congre
gations of the Baptist, Methodist and
Presbyterian churches have arranged
to hold a union service in the Presby
terian church on South Fifth street.
Rev. Wm. Moore of the Methodist
church will deliver the sermon, and
a special program has been arrangea
for.
Thanksgiving is a season of glad
some traditions. Far away as are our
lives from those of the little band of
colonists of Massachusetts Bay who
reverently established a day of thanks
giving, for the mercies which to us
seem no more than the commonplace
of a meager existence, the spirit of the
occasion survives.
Through all the vicissitudes of oui
national development, Thanksgiving
day has been preeerved as peculiarly
the New England memorial. For gen
erations it had a sectional observance
and a limited significance. It was not
until the white heat of the civil war
fused our people of all sections into
a nation homeogenous that the New
England Thanksgiving was made that
of the whole country.
Since the first proclamation by the
president, calling for the observance
of a day of thanks for the preservation
of the union of the states, the custom
has been maintained the generation
of today knows it in this character
alone.
This is the oldest of our holidays.
In the early times of sectarian intol
erance when church and state were
joined in the rule of Massachusetts,
there was no Christmas under the law.
Observance of the natal day of the
Prince of Peace was discouraged, it
not absolutely prohibited, by harsh
enactments. But the recognition of
the day of thanksgiving was enjoined
as a religious as well as a civic obli
gation.
All this is changed in the growth of
our people, our commonwealth, our
nation to the stature which we see to
day. Our whole people unite in the
giving of thanks and it the religious
element Is given less prominence In
the forms with which the day is ob
served, in the hearts of all there Is
a no less reverent gratitude for the
benefactions with which the Power
which rules the universe has crowned
the life of people and of individuals in
this happy age.
We must be glad, every one of us,
that we live today. The condition of
humanity is not perfect there are
cruel exception to universal human
felicity but the advance has hot only
been great but steady and full of mar
velous promise for the race. And as
for the immediate present, we have
'only to compare existing conditions
of physical comfort of intellectual im
provement, of moral and social uplift
ing, with those enjoyed by our prede
the Lord loveth them he chasteneth,"
tion surge over our hearts.
Personally many of us may feel that
fortune or providence has dealt harsh
ly with us during the last year. There
have been disappointments, perhaps
grievous afflictions, .rhose pain is not
yet dulled. Let such summon up the
resources of the faith that sustained
the men of the first Thanksgiving days
who felt as well as believed that "who
the Lorj loveth then he chasteneth,"
and let all look forward where the sun
shines with a glory and a gracious
warmth unknown to the race of man
kind at any period before this favored
century.
Funeral Tomorrow.
Tiie funeral of Eva LiOinbness,
daughter of Edward Lombness, will
be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30
o'clock from the residence at 830
North Fourth street. Rev. Burleson
officiating. Eva Loinbness died Tues
day afternoon from consumption, with
which she has been afflicted for some
time. She had lived all her life in
Grand Forks and had a targe circle of
friends. The bereaved family will
have the sympathy of many in their
hour of sorrow.

Among the prominent visitors in the
city attending the federal court this
week is Alfred Blaisdell, a prominent
young attorney of Minot and the new
ly elected secretary of state. Mr.
Blaisdell Is one of the coming men
of the state. He is young, brilliant
and able—three qualities that have
much to do with the success of young
men in the west. He has alread
reached a position which might well
be envied. Though a young man so
far as life'B success is concerned, he
has risen to a responsible position in
the administration of the state. That
he will make doubly good in this posi
tion is just as certain as that he has
done so in the practice of his profes
sion, and in this he stands at the
head. He has the qualifications to
make good In almost any position and
it is certain that he will be recognized
in the party to which he belongs and
to which he is enthusiastically devot
ed, and that the people of the stau
will be proud Of the honor which he
will bring to the state.

INSURANCE LOSS
IN MUTUAL
GASES
Question on Trial in Walsh
County District
Court.
GEO. A. BANGS DEFENDS
Is Becoming a Specialist in
Mutual Insurance
Litigation.
Attorney George A. Bangs Is at
Grafton today where he Is engaged
In the trial in district court of the
case of Thorgeson ft Ekeberg against
the Merchants' Mutual Fire Insurance
company of Redfleld, S. D. The suit
is brought to recover the value of a
policy of $1,000 carried by the plain
tiffs' in the company under the mutual
plan. There Is no question about the
loss, but the supposed Insured had the
policy on the mutual plan and had
never made a single payment on the
premium of the same. The. company
Is^ seeking to avoid the payment of
the same on this ground. Mr. Bangs
represents the defendant and the case
will be fought to a finish. The same
question was involved in the Lamb
case at Michigan City and the court
in a contest on the same held that
the company was not responsible for
the loss arising therefrom. Incident
ally it might be said that Mr. Bangs
is becoming a recognized expert in
litigation involving fraternal features.
He has spent a number of years In
vestigating the principles of these
concerns and has a fund of Informa
tion on them which makes him an
antagonist to be feared when the mat
ters are In court.
