Thanksgiving Proclamation
Issued By Governor Frazier

L
In this-one OF the most solemn
moments in our national history
when many hearts and voices are
lifted in thanks to God for the VIC
tory and peace so earnestly longed
for, it is specially Citing that a day
be dedicated to prayer and thanks
giving. 1t seems pIovidential that
this great climax should come just
at the season when the people
throughout the nation have been
wont to gather in their homes and
places of worship to give thanks to
Almighty God for the good things
enjoyed during the year. But a few
weeks ago we had little assurance
that the end would come SO soon, and
now that the aims and purposes Of
our nation have been achieved we
well have reason to rejoice because
OF what has been wrought in the
name Of righteousness, justice, and
democracy.
That we should win the war was a
foregone conclusion, for right must
eventually prevail. Our forces on,
land and sea have been inspired by
the most noble and honorable mo-
tfves. The terms upon which war
was waged were the fairest ever pre-
sented. The spirit of our President
and the American public would not
have permitted war to be waged on
any other terms. God has blessed
our nation with victory because of
her adherence to right principles and
honest purposes. Now let us be
guided by the memorable words OF
the great Emancipator: with
malice toward none, with charity for
all, with firrnness in the right as
God gives us to see the right, let us
finish the work we are in, to bind up
the nations wounds, to care for him
who shall have borne the battle, and
for his widow and his orphans, to do
all which may achieve and cheris a
just and lasting peace among our
selves and wit all nations"
During the past several weeks our
people have been sorely tried-not
by war alone, but by pestilence as
we'll Few localities have been
spared. The fact that the disease has
now spent it's force though is in it
self abundant reason for the giving
Of thanks. =, ..a..
Our state has been fairly prosper
GUS, which, coupled with the intense
loyalty of her citizens, has enabled
North Dakota to make an enviable
record in its support of the national
government in the world crisis.
Every appeal for funds has been
largely oversubscribed. More than
$4,000 men have left our borders to
enter military and naval service.
Thousands of. others are engaged in
war construction work. Our young
women have volunteered as nurses
wherever needed. The sacrifices made
by those remaining at home are also
commendable, both in caring for the
sick and in assuming added burdens
because of the absence of those ac-
customed to perform these duties.
Fond hearts have suffered agonies of
apprehension while the loved ones
have been away and exposed to the
dangers that Turk in and about war.
Well may we pause and stand in
reverence before the One whose

No Time for Experiments
At present the Ebert cabinet Is
concerning itself with the urgent
problems Of food and demobiliZatio
The gravity of both is such that the
radicals are wisely refrai1ing from
indulging in any Utopian expert
ments.
Birdseye of Leaders
Ebert and Scheidemann are not
feared. Lansberg is a professional
lawyer credited with poise and mod
Grafton. He asserted today that he
does not favor experiments and the
present time above all is not suited
to tampering with capital and indus
try. Hase, Dittman and Barth have
been less satisfactory. Haase is
credited with being an extremely
astute politician. He inherited par
ty leadership from Ferdinand Au-
gust Babel, former Socialist chief in
the reichstag, but lost command
when his party split four years ago.
Fortifying the ProIetariat
During the course of the week no
serious friction in the cabinets de-
lberations have been reported, al
though the left wing has not de-
clared for an early conVenlng Of the
national assembly. It desires to ex-
plot the interim in fortifying prole-
taran rule. Ebert and Scheide-
mann on the other hand are content
to rest their cause in the elections.
Middle Glasses Awakening

The appointment of Karl Kautzky
and Edward Bernstein as under sec

theorists into the soldiers and

convinced, however, that Germany is
not in fit spiritual or physical condi-
tion to warrant experiments along
the line of their pet theories.

Responsibility for the disorders in
the first days of the revolution
rests on the Spartacus group in
which Liebknecht and Rosa LuXem-
bourg carry little of the influence
they held at first. oldiers and sail

against the government and are in

 IMMIGRATION
 REGULATIONS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. Z -- A fight to strengthen the immicla-- tion laws and restrict still fur1hcr the entry of immigrants is probable.
 The general feeling in the house IS one of dissatisfaction with the loyal ty of large masses of immigrants-eS- peciauy from Russia. The prevalence of taitorious pacifsm in these groups and their attempt to bring about the desertion of the allies by Russia has strengthened this feeling. The 1. w. W. dcpredahons made many western members favor rigid exclusion laws
 There is strong support for the eX- clusion of all Germans who served in the army. 1t is argued felOns are prohibited from entering the country, but that authors of German army autocities may gain entrance. 1t is also argued it is unfair to exclude the petty thief of peace times and admit the murderer and violater of women after 9 war.
 The exemption of aliens from the draft has sharpened the feeling for more exclusion in many congressional districts, and the conduct of many aliens in hindering the draft has fan ncd the amendment in other localities.
 In the labor group of congress there has always been decided leaning to- ward exclusion laws, and this is strengthened by the fear of large in- flux of European or Asiatic workers after the war Many will seek to leave the devastated war countries. It is realized 1t will be hard to main tain the wars high wage standards in any case, and shutting ok immigra- tioa is a WocaJcd by some as the most practical means.

BUSINESS WILL ADJUST ITSELF

Some believe that Alaska is going to the eternal bow vows on account of the liquor business being sus pended Nothing is so ridiculous as this assumption. The State of Washington is today in better financial con- don than ever before Seattle and Tacoma have eXper fenced such prosperous that there no comparison
 with the present and past and Seward is going to be bet ter off than ever Nine places of liquor selling closed the doors at midnight Monday in Seward. One mmed- lately changed into soft drink emporium and pool rOOm and another place closed temporarily for repairs Two other locations will be occupied perhaps within couple of weeks and engaged in the liquor business who leaving Seward will be suppanted by an equal number coming here to engage in new businesses Seward IS so situated that nine businesses going out will only tempor ary be felt The ore is still in the ground; the fish in the sea- Other industries have not been changed the least whit. All people must live as formerly Money that has been spent bars will be turned into other channels because there just much money here as be- fore the liquor houses closed is that part of the license money will be missed but other money will be forth coming to make up the deficiency
 No-instead of Alaska going backwards, watch and notwithstanding the war Alaska is going forward and Seward especially Everything will adjust itself within
 few days and January 1918 will be better year than January 1917 or January 1916
 Watch and see and also help make it so.

WILL THE SALOON COME BACK?

Now that Alaska has gone dry will liquor establish ents ever again come back? Liquor men in Seward are divided in opinion but is almost safe to predict that the day of the saloon has gone for good AS prominent liquor man said last Monday If liquor comes back the production will be sold over a counter not bar Liq- uor will be sold the same as any commodity in other busi- ness Thep roduct will be in bottles and sold but the day of the individual drink has gone If the liquor business is reestabshed the government will exercise its control exclusively"
 The logic sounds good and may be correct.
 The Prussan iunkers are quite willing to treat with the Russian Boshev-and later on but for quite differ ent reasons they may be willing to sit at the council table with the BolsheviH at home.

mis- contest completed at the PhiIa-

when Miss Molla Bjurstedt, the Nor

the Wissahickon Cup and the ma
tional woman's championship in sim
giles, here opponent being a most un-
fortunate New York girl, Miss Flea

contestants in athletic stunts for
some reason appears to stir the spec

Committee Votes "Dry,"
but Favors Protection

Washington, June 24.-On the eve
OF hearings before the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture on the Jones
wartime prohibition amendment to
the Emergency Food act, there were
two important developments-vir
tual agreement by committee men,
bers that the California wine busi-
ness shall be protected, at least until
the seasons crop of grapes can be
disposed of. and the announcement
that the committee had gone on
record by to 4 vote as favor.
ing some sort of wartime prohibi-
tion.
The decision to exempt the wine
business was based on an argument
by Representative Kahn of Cali
fornia, who told the committee that
ruin for thousands of California
ylne-growers would follow the sud-
den cutting of of the manufacture
or light wines. Senator Phelan of
California gave the committee data
on the financial obligations assumed
by the vine-growers. and showed
how many banks in his state would
be seriously embarrassed il the paper
they hold should suddenly be rend-
cred worthless by the running of their
clients business. Then William Jen-
nings Bryan, who came to Washing
ton TO lead the prohibition forces.
advocated that the committee frame
any prohibition amendment it might
adopt so that it would enable the
California wine producers to save
this years business. The Z to
vote was not taken on any specific
but on the principle of
wartime prohibition.

the playing of Miss Goss. The latter

her skill wasted against her clever
and moro experienced opponent Miss
Bjurstedt adopted the placing meth
cd TO wear down Miss Goss, and that
she succeeded is evidenced by the
score of the only two games played

The Norwegian is an old campaign

grandstand was nothing new to her;
IL anything, il was an incentive to
her to play her best tennis. Miss
Goss was making her first appear
ance in the challenge round of a ma
tional championship. and the sur
roundings must have affected her
game far more than that of her op-
ponent. There was never any doubt
about the result, for it was apparr
ent to all that Miss Bjurstedt was
absolutely confident as to the out
come. while her opponent conveyed
the impression that she knew that
she had no chance of defeating the
titleholder.

WEAK HITTING
BEATS STEELTON
Only Three Men Tap Ball in
Saturdays Sparrow's
Point Game

The Steel League played at Spar
rows Point and Bethlehem on Sat-
urday. with the result that Big Jeff
Tesreau won his first game for the
home team of the league. being op-
posed by Dumont, of Wilmington.
and that Steelton lost SO, putting up
before Sparrow Pointers ,the weak
est battle staged this season by
Cockills men. The reason needs no
seeking. Just glance over the hit
ung averages, Neild. .0eO; Stutz,
.1VV; Weiser, .130; Peterson, .l57;
clark and Shorty" Miller. each
.166: NerkeS. .210. The only hard
swatter on the club is that Veteran
of Brooklyn, Hunter. who is register
ing .S32.
Saturdays walloping at the hands
of Sparrows Point must convince
Cockill that his men need more bat
ting practice, and if that does not do
the trick then he will have to get in
some more talent. There will not be
much change in the Steel League
within the next month. but after that
new men may be signed up and the
last few weeks of the season may
find the standings very lop-sided.
The Steel League has depleted the
major league ranks so completely
that Secretary Johnny Heydler is
authority for saying that the Ma
tional League will complete its sea-
son even if it is necessary to draft
amateurs" So, hold on, kiddo,
maybe McGraw will be sending his
scouts out on the sand lots for a few
Hill League stars or some West
Enders.
The game of Saturday was very
sad. Nine Cottage Killers got snow
on their feet and froze to various
sacks of sawdust. Hunter was there
again with two husky clouts, and
Bud" Weiser also had a brace. But
Weiser counteracted for this merit
by dropping fly after two were out.
Coekill has a good pitching staff in
Eddie Plank, Ruck Ramsey, Eddie
Pierce and Tom Phillips: his catch
ing staff looks good and Jack knight
should be a strong keystone at first
base. But he sure needs some hitters
in the field.
