PROCLAMATION

The season is at hand in which it has been
our long respected custom as a people to turn i'll
praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His manifold mercies and blessings to us as a
nation. The year that has just passed has been
marked III peculiar degree by manifestation of
His gracious and benefcent providence. We
have not only peace throughout our own borders
and with the nations of the world, but that peace
has been frightened by constantly multiplying
evidences of genuine friendship, of mutual
sympathy and understanding, and of the happy
operation of many elevatng influences both of
ideal and of practice.
I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the
United States of America, do hereby designate
Thursday, the twenth- seventh of November, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer and invite the
people throughout the land to cease from their
wanted occupations and in their several homes
and places of worship render thanks to Almighty
Cod"
WOODROW WILSON,
President.

and reclaim these swamp lands
This section in the state Constitu
ton stands in the way, but l don
believe it would stand if it ever
should come to the United States
supreme court. The state had nc
right to adopt provision violating
the conditions of that grant. -
The action of President King and
Secretary Mackenzie did not act
we'll on State Auditor Iverson and
he at once got busy with the press
agent stating that the withholding
of 100000 acres of swamp lands
would hamper state development,
and be particularly harmful to
Northern Minnesota.
Mr.. Iverson says delay in get
ting patents to these 100000 acres
would be unfortunate because it
would hold back development, "
said Mr.. Mackenzie, l would
suggest that the state now has g.
500, 900 acres of these swamp lands
which are not being improved.
Since nothing is being done for
these lands, l can hardly see where
it is going to retard the develop
ment of Northern Minnesota to
hold back patents on the other
100000.
Mr.. Iverson admits that it is up
to the legislature, under the ruling
of the United States supreme court
to say how these lands should be
improved. But the legis lature in
all these years has never framed
for improving these lands. Mr..
Iverson, as custodian of the lands,
should have shown an interest to
see that it was properly done. In
fact in all his public acts he has
shown himself unfriendly to
Northern Minnesota such as in his
opposing the sale of those foreign
bonds in which their swamp and
school land funds are invested so
we can get loans for development
of the Northern counties.
There is no politics in our &C
ton. We are simply trying to &C.
complish something for the state,
and 1 am sorry to see Mr.. Iverson
take the stand that he did"
Mr.. Mackenzie declared that:
Northern Minnesota does not want
the state to take the money from
the revenue fund, raised by taxa
ton, to improve the swamp lands.
This was done in the reclamation
act of 1911 and Mr.. Mackenzie was
a member of the board which spent
state nancy to clear, portions of
.en-acre tracts so they could be sold
at an advanced price.
The increased price simply
went into the school fund, said
Mr.. Mackenzie yesterday. That
ism t the way we want it done.
We want the lands themselves to
paw for the improvement. That
will take a change in the Constitu-
ton, probably, and that is what we
will work for
The question of the validity of
the 1911 reclamation act was never
raised in court.

the reports to him of two cases of slit skirts being seen on the streets of the city.
 A few nights ago, the young men about town And the old 'fellahs" were astonished, surprised and pleased be- yond expression almost by the ap- pearance on one of the main streets Of a handsomely gowned young wo- men of shapely figure and splendid carriage, who was wearing one or the latest creations from the east, slit skirt and all. That was not all however for the slit was quite ex- treme and disclosed a generous DOT ton of web silk hose fitting the member tighter than the proverbial paper on the wall. Above this occa- sional glimpses of the lace of other intimate garments could be seen. This all created a furore so much so that the young lady made quick getaway
 The second case was somewhat more humorous. Two young men thought they spotted a skirt of the order above described in the north ern part of the city and immediately followed for a block or two entranc- ed by what they saw. The young woman, it was accepted immediately that she was young, wore wide white Panama hat well down the back of her head, and her hands were gloved Some pretext or other how ever, caused her to look around and the young fellows were shocked to find that the wearer of the supposed up to date garments was colored woman. They beat a nasty and un- dignified retreat

 Following the fortnight revolution,
 the northern government troops had
 the better of the fighting at three main points, namely Shanghai, Kiu Rang and along the Tien-Tsin &, Pukow railroad. While much ammu- milton has been expended by gun fir ing lasting whole days, there has
 been no decisive battle, which the foreigners believe is essential to Pro- visional President Yuan Shi kafs ul- innate success.
 The sizes of the armies engaged are small compared with those fighting in the Balkan war. In Shanghai the
 northern troops on shore number 2000 while pitted against them are 4000 southerners. The army of General Chang Hsun, which repulsed the rebels above Suchow Flu, numbers less than 5000 officers and men. The largest northern army, which consists of probably 15,040 to 10000 men, and

 Miss Gonzales stated last night that there was nothing of an unrefined nature about the costume, but that in every particular it will follow the lines of the most approved costumes of such character that are now being worn in the east It is cut, it is said, along graceful lines, is not flashy in any of it's trimmings, is quiet in its ensemble, even if super attractive in effect. In all other re- spects it will conform to the most modish garments seen on the streets of the city on any pleasant sunshiny afternoon.
 As soon as the news becomes well known that this walking trip will be made it is likely that the attendance at the band concert will be record breaking
Arizona republican., 1913-07-27

Beatrice Gonzales, the soubrette with a local musical company, has an- nounced that she will traverse the streets of Phoenix this afternoon from the Ford hotel, starting during the band concert, to the corner of Adams street and First street, wear ing one of the latest Paris creations, to which the appellation of slit skirt has been tackled.
 The skirt will have all the features about it that conflict with the edict of the chief. The costume will have first a white panama hat trimmed in red. Then the latest style satin light grey cutaway coat will follow, and the lower garment will be a white pique slit skirt, fitting snugly, the climax to the costume coming in that the slit will be well uptoward the knee, so that the well shod dainty feet, the shapely we'll hosed ankles and

which every woman and girl will be able to walk. on the streets without remarks of a nasty character being passed about her appearance and I think that the new dresses are not calculated to do that. The dresses are principally worn in Europe, where they first became the fashion of mem- bers of the demiN mondaine' and sure ly no right thinking man wants his wife, sister or daughter or even lady friend to wear one of these at trocities upon the public streets.
 ''To expose a whole lot of lingerie or stocking is far from modest, even if it is modish, and. that action is sure to cause men who see Auch in- timate garments to think things that they would otherwise not dream of"
 How the chief is going to measure the length of the slit the ladies are wearing he did not say, but it is rumored that he will buy number of Browne and Sharpe" steel rules for the use of his officers so that exact measurements may be made. It will be quite a sight to see one of the khaki clad officers kneeIing in the dust measuring a ladies' skirt slit in order to see whether she is com plying with the order One way to overcome the embarrassment that might be>placed on the person wear ing the exposee garment would be for the officer making the arrest to ap-. proaeh the lady and with his best "CheSte bow offer her his arm and request the pleasure of her company as far as the city hall to a room provided for Tady inspector who would make the measurements and then report the number of inches that the garment hadl been split to the chief who would then direct the wearer to appear tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock
 Perhaps the chief intends to put a lady "cop' on the force to look after this branch of the work If he does arm' because the women wearing the more for resisting arrest than they do for exposing their varied fancied charms What kind of uniform is proposed for the supposed lady cop is not at present known, but it will be very chic and the badge will be a very cute little affair in silver and enamel It would not be a bad idea for applicants for the job to per- sonally interview Chief Moore in his office some time during the day after s a. m.
 Anyhow whatever is done the chief intends to see that the women of Phoenix who try to be ultra fashion able shall behave with all due de- corum that ladies should.

PEKING, July 26.-Volunteer Amer ican, British and other citizens to- night are guarding the approaches to the mountain town of Ku Ling, where thousands of foreigners mostly Ameri- can and British women and citizens, have taken refuge from the heat Of the Chinese summer months. A few American bluejackets on the heights are maintaining signal communlca- tion with the United States gunboat Helena, which is laying off the river port Ku Kiang.

WAGON BRUSHES LIFE
 FROM INFANT
Two -Year-Old Tot is Run Over by Ice Wagon in Sight of Dozen Play mates Rear Wheels Pass Over Little One

Wandering away from her mothers side, and needless of the warnings of her playmates whom she had joined, little curly haired Mildred, the two year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Charles Mccoy of 922 North Eighth street, early yesterday afternoon, was run over by an ice wagon and instantly killed in full sight of her little friends and while they called and cried in their terrorized attempts to get her out of the way of the heavy vehicle. The wagon belongs to the City Ice company and the accident occurred at the corner of Seventh and Roosevelt.
 The little tot, who was not quite two years old. had toddled into the street white her mother was busy, and had joined a small crowd of children which had surrounded the ice wagon. One of the mothers of the children called out warning to the crowd and some of the children got away from the wagon. The little child who was too young to understand the warning and remained holding to the wagon between the front and rear wheels.
 The driver of the wagon, just com ing from the rear of one of the houses
 on the street saw the danger that the child was in and called out to her to get away. The horses attached to the wagon knowing the voice of the driver started forward, and before anyone could reach the child the heavy wagon had knocked her down and the rear wheels had passed across the upper part of her little body
 The child was quickly picked up and taken to her home and a doctor called but in spite of care and skill the little life fluttered out. The body was taken to the undertaking parlors of Easter ling and Whitney where the coroners jury was empanneled by Coroner C. w Johnstone. After viewing the body the inquest was adjourned until Monday afternoon at two o'clock
 The funeral of the little girl will take place from the house. 922 North Sth street on Monday morning at 9 o'clock and the interment will take place at the Catholic cemetery.

'European and American sympathy at Yang Kiang ports, as well as at Peking, is overwhelmingly in favor of President Yuan Shi Kai, while the Japanese and Russians apparently favor the southerners.
 The opinion prevails among the Europeans in camp that Yuan Shi Kai will soon be victorious. It is pointed out in some quarters, how ever, that the ability. of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the first provisional president of the republic and the party to create rebellion and to spread disaffection among the troops in the principal cities along the lower Yang-Tse river, was not suspected three months ago.
 Government officials are indignant because the foreign consuls at Shanghai and Hankow do not expel the rebel plotters from their conces- sions. Many foreigners, even mem bers of the legation here, likewise con sider the inactivity of consular bodies in the south unjustifiable.
 It was stated by the admnistra- tion officials today that the Japa nese are assisting the rebels.
