We believe that it would be rank injustice to any one own ing property on First, Second or Third avenues, to block this important entrance to the city. We believe 1t would be rank injustice to the people who live in the suburbs herein named from Elyton on down to Bessemer We believe that it would be unjust to the city and to the people as a whole.
 Tt should also be borne in mind that the principal cemetery where we bury our dead Is Elmwood and Second avenue is the direct route to this cemetery.
 Tn conclusion we wish to say that we see no reason why this immensely wealthy railroad company can not purchase priv ate property to be used It's right of way, and not block this most important thoroughfare.

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMAMION.

Washington, oct. 24,-Thc President
has issued his annual Thanksgiving Pro-
clamation, naming Thursday, November
10Th. as the holiday. The text of the pro-
clamation is as follows:
"The time Of the year has come when,
in accordance Of the wise custom OF our
forefathers, it becomes my dnty to set aside
a special day of thanksgiving and praise to
the Almighty because Of the blessings we
have received aud of prayer that these
blessings may be continued. Yet another
year Of of widespread wellbeing has passed.
Never before in our history or in the
history Of any other nation has the people
enjoyed more abundant material prosperity
than is ours. A prosperity that is so
great that il shonld arouse in us no spirit
Of reckless pride and least Of all spirit Of
needless disregard of our responsibilities,
but rather sober sense of OF our blessings,
and resolute purpose, under providence.
not to forfeit them by any action of our
own.
"Material wellbeing, indispensable,
though it can never be anything but the
foundation of true national greatness and
happiness. II we built nothing upon this
foundation, then our national life will be as
meaningless and empty as hoase where
only the foundation has been laid. Upon
our material well -bearing must be built an
or individual and national
life in accordance with the laws of the
highest morality, or else our prosperity
itself will n the long run turn out curse
instead Of blessing. We should he both
reverently thankful for what we have
received and ernestly bent upon turning it
into means of grace and not of destruc-
ton.
"Accordingin glY, 1 hereby set apart
Thursday, the twenty ninth day of Novem-
Der next as a day of thanksgiving and
snpplicatlon, on which the people shall
meet in their homes or their churches
devoutly acknowledge all that has been
given them and to pray that they may in
addition receive the power to use these
gifts Alright.
SIN witness whereof 1 have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington this
22nd. day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundr ed and six,
and of the Independence of the United
States the one hundred an d thirty fist.
