 PROCLAMATION
TERRITORY OF ALASKA Executive Department
A FRO OLAMATIO ION

The President of the United States. following the national custol of more than hall a century, has designated Thursday, November 2s, 1917, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. The year now drawing to close, has been fraught with mo- mentous consequences for this ma tion. We have entered the Great War iI behalf Cf those principles of liberty, freedom and democracy which have been so beneficent in the life of our country; in this our government has been guided by supreme desire to make the world 8 safe nlace for the exercise of thos immutable principles of government which, under God, have placed the United States in the front rank or civilized and progressive nations. Our people are being called upon to make great personal sacrifices, and the demand for personal service and effort will largely increase as time masses, but the spirit Of unity and uufaltering purpose which actu- ates them will lad to ultimate and triumphant victory.
 Now, therefore, l, J. F. A. strong, Governor of the Territory of Alas ks, do hereby proclaim Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of November, as !.
 THANKSGIVING DAY
 And while The people of this great republic are facing tremen- dous responsibilities, and their de- yotion to its institutions is being put to the test, and though sorrows manifold may visit us as a result of the war, it is most fitting that the people of this Territory should give thanks to Him "who doeth all things well;" and, blessed with plenty ourselves, let us unite in praise of Almighty God for the. many favors that have been youch- safed us as a people, while especial ly remembering those nations with whom cur own is allied and whose people are exhibiting supreme de Yotion and making the greatest sac

Congress does many fool ish things, but this appears to be the most foolish and ridiculous, be- cause t invites the attention of the country to the power of con- gress 70 exempt itself from burdens it imposes upon all others.
 It is dangerous to make a tax unpopular, and it is dangerous to excite the resentment of the peo- pie. That is precisly what this special tax of s per cent on salaries has done. The elimination of the Congressman excites resentment, and he double burden imposed on the sslaried man in contrast with the drone who does nothing but re ceives his income from investments of his father, or possibly of his grandfather, is also an element that makes for resentment.

A stubborn backache is cause to suspect kidney trouble. When the kidneys are inflamed and swollen, stoopiDg brings a sharp twinge in the small of the back that almost takes the breath away. Doan's Kid ney Pills revive sluggish kidneys relieve aching backs. Here's con- Yincing proof of merit.
 Mrs. M. Holmes, 1916 Indian st., Bellingham, Wash, says: For quite awhile l had a dull, heavy ache across the small of my back. Often when l strengthened after stopping sharp pains seized me in my sides. I had terrible headaches and dizzy spells and my kidneys didn't act regularly. In the morning I was always tired and worn out. After I had used one box of Doan's Kid ney Fills I could see they were bclD;Hg me. My back got stronger and my kidneys acted regularly"

l. 9 hoped that when Congress IsconTeEes an amendment will be immediately offered striking out of the taxation bill the levy of per cent on salaries in excess Of six thousand dollars. This particular tax is 2 tax on energy and ability. It is a tax which imposes a double burden on ths salaried nan, and it is a tax which eliminates 8 certain se- leeted class from its operation. It Is absolutely un-American. It is unnecessary, unjust, unequitable and should never have been imposed l. taxes the maa without capital, whose income !s derived from his hrstn work, practically double com pared with the man who does no thing Bnd securTs his income from fIed investments or inherited in Testments.

TEUT0N ADVANCE
IS SLOWING DOWN

Italian Headquarters. -- Observers
from advanced positions along the
front say the Austrian advance is not
showing the impetuous rush OF previ-
GUS days and evidently is slackcning
as II gets farther from Its base. The
largest guns they have brought into
play thus far are of a type about the
same as our five-inch.
They have been unable to bring for
ward any OF their heavy guns. doubt
less because of the condition OF the
bridges and roads torn up or destroyed
by the Italians.
The enemy's operations on the north
and east In an attempt at encirclement
OF the Italians have not succeeded.
The menace on tile Italian left wing
also is virtually passed.
British batteries have taken their
position along the front line prepared
to give support TO the heroic services
heretofore chiefly borne by the Italian
rearguards In the effort to stay the
Austro. German advance.
The reformation of the Italian army
along the established position Is pro-
crossing in good order.
