Thanksgiving Proclamation.

| Wushington Nov. 2-Thn president has is-
sued his annual Thanksgiving proclamation
+ in the following terms:
| By tho President of the United States-A
| Proclamation: Tho season is at hand when.
according to tho custom of our people. it falls
upon the president to appoint day of praise
and thanksgiving to God.
| During tho last year tho Lord has
dealt bountifully with us, giving us
peace at home and abroad, and the chance
| for our citizens to work for their well
| fare unhindered by war, famine or plague. 1t
! behooves not only to rejoice greatly be-
| cause of what has been given us, but to ac.
cept it with solemn sense of responsibility,
realizing that under heaven it rests with our.
| selves to show that VIC arc worthy to use
| Alright what has thus been entrusted to our
care. In no other place and at no other time
| has tho experiment of government of tho
people, by tue people and for the people been
| tried on SO vast scale as here in our own
country in the opening years of tho twentieth
century.
Failure would not only bc dreadful thing
for u.s. but Il dreadful thing for all mankind,
because it would mean loss of hope for all
| who believe in the power and righteousness
of liberty. Therefore in thanking God for
| the mercies extended to us in the past, we
beseech him that he may not Withhold them in
! the future and that our hearts may be reused
| to war steadfastly for good and against all
the forces of evil. public and private. We
pray for strength and light, so that in the
coming years VIC may with cleanliness, fear
lessncss and wisdom, do our allotted work on
earth in such manner as to show that we are
not altogether unworthy OF the blessings that
VIC have received
| Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States, do hereby
designate rs day of general thanksgiving,
Thursday, tho 10Th of the coming November,
and do recommend that throughout the land
people cease from their wonted occupations
and in their several homes and places of
| worship render thanks unto Almighty God for
| his manifold mercies.
| In witness whereof, have hereunto set my
hand aud caused tho seal of the United States
| to be affixed
| Done at the city of Washington, this thirty
| first day of October, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and thee, and of
thd Independence of the United States the
one hundred and twenty-eght.

Gambling in Options Legitimate.

Judge Pollock held, in Steele coun-
ty case of the John Miller Grain com.
pany against John A. Klovstad, that
gambling in options is no defense
The Miller company purchased grain
from Klovstad, and under his orders
purchased options for certain amounts.
Wheat went down, and Kovstad re-
fused to pay for the options, and when
sued alleged it was a gambling debt.
Judge Pollock held that the amount
sued for by the Miller company was a
just debt, and as Klovstad had trans
acted business with the board of trade
he must be governed by its usages.
