THE PRESIDENT'S THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Theodore Roosevelt

Once again the season of the year has come when, in accordance with the custom of our forefathers for generations past, the President appoints a day as the especial occasion for all our people to give praise and thanksgiving to God.

During the past year we have been free from famine, from pestilence, from war. We are at peace with all the rest of mankind.

Our natural resources are at least as great as those of any other nation. We believe that in ability to develop and take advantage of the resources the average man of this nation stands at least as high as the average man of any other. Nowhere else in the world is there such an opportunity for a free people to develop to the fullest extent all its power of body, of mind, and of that which stands above both body and mind, character.
