Thanksgiving Proclamation.

In issuing his Thanksgiving procla-
nation President Roosevelt calls the
attention of the thoughtful to many
things that the the country at large
should be thankful for. The procla.
nation Is as follows:
"The time of the yaer has come
when, in accordance with the wise
custom of our fathers, it becomes my
duty to set aside special day Of
thanksgiving and praise of blessings
We have received, and of prayer that
those blessings may be continued.
'Yet another year of widespread
well being has passed. Never before
in our history, Oh In the history OF
any other nation, has people enjoy
ed more abouading material prosper
ity than has Ours; a prosperity so
great that 1t should arouse In us no
spirit Of reckless pride, and, least of
all, a spirit Of needless disregard of
our responsibilities; but rather SO.
Der sense of our many blessings and a
resolute purpose, under providence,
not to forfeit them by any action Of
our own.
material wellbeing, indispensable
though 1t is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. II we build
nothing upon this foundation, then
ou. national life win be as meaning
less and empty as house where only
the foundation has been laid. Upon
our material well being must be built
superstrueture of individual and
national life within, in accordance
with the laws of the highest morality,
or else our prosperity itself will, In
the long run, turn out a curse instead
of blessing. We should be both
reverently and earnestly bent upon
'urning 1t into means of grace, and
not Of destruction.
Accordingly, | hereby set apart
Thursday, the 29th day of Novem ber
next, as a day Of Thanksgiving and
supplication, upon which the people
shall meet In their homes or churches
devoutly acknowledging that
which has been given shem, and TO
pr that they may in addition re-
ceive the power to use these gifts

BINGEN VERSUS White
SALMON SCHOOL CASE

An Interesting controversy is tax
ing place at present between the
school directors of Bingen and j. H.
Ginder, editor of the White Salmon
Enterprise, In regard to where his
children shall attend school. AL
though Mr.. Ginder lives much nearer
White Salmon than he does Bingen It
is clai med by the directors of the lat
ter place that his children must at
tend the school there according to the
law covering such cases. In his paper
Mr.. Ginder makes the following OK.
PLANTATION OF his attitude In the mat
ter:
"Ihe editor Of this paper is 30 un-
fortunate as to live In house which
stands on the line dividing the Bin.
gen and White Salmon districts, with
the larger portion of he building
probably in the Bingen d strict,
though the enclosure is mostly on
the White Salmon side. 1t is only
temporary residence In a rented
house. All our property interests are
in the White Salmon district and all
our taxes are paid here. We are nat.
urally interested in the White Salmon
district and have sent the childen to
school here. Now Mr.. Suksdorf
claims the attendance OF our children
in his district and II the claim Is al
lowed we will have to patronize I he
Bingen school or pay 10 cents for each
days attendance at White Salmon,
and this without helping the Bingen
district at all, for 1t would still be
tar below the minimum of 1000 days
attendance allowed by law. Mr..
Suksdort explains that his action Is
strictly In accordance with the law,
but Spanish inquisition was also in
accordance with the law, and Christ
was crucifled In acco dance with the
law. This shows that law and justice
do not always go together. But be-
fore we submit to this injustice we
propose to find out whether Mr.. Suks-
dorf has all the law on his side. When
the highest court tells US that we
must pay tuition while all Others 90
free then we will submit-not soon.

No show which will visit this locality this season promises so much, and no show now before the public so faithfully fulflls every prom ise made. There is no feature adver- tised but what positively appears, and while some of the novelties announced by the flaming posters are seemingly impossible, and never before witnessed the management stakes its reputation that every act announced to appear will positively be given just as advertised and pictured. In a nutshell the Wash burn and ID Alma shows this season are the finest and most fascinating that ever dazzled and delighted the public eye.
