ALASKA FLAG DAY
PROCLAMATION
Tlu- American Flag l? universally
recognized as the emblem of libert\
and justice. Beneath it brave and
loyal hearts beat with pride and de
votion. To the oppressed :t affords
the Inspiration of hope. To each of
our citizens it guarantees individual
liberty and protec,!on to personal and
property rights. The fire of patriot
ism never burned more brightly than
today. It is. therefore, eminently pro
per that we unitedly show our regard
for the Stars and Stripes, our love fo
our common country. ;ind commemo
rate the birthday of the Flag on the
date of its adoption by Congress.
June 14th, 177".
An approved custom abides of ap
pointing a day upon which the 1* lag
is displayed on public buildings, pri
vate residences and business hous*-s.
In accord with this commendable cus
tom. I. William L. Distin. Acting Gov
ernor of Alaska, do hereby designate
Monday June 14th. A. D. 1909 as
FLAG DAY and heartily recommend
general display of Old Glory through
out the day. Let it appear in evi
dence everywhere, over church and
school-house, factory and dwelling
public and private building, and at the
mast head, illustrating our faith in
11 it represents. Let the rising sun
o' June llth be greeted with saluta
tion of artillery, the ringing of bells,
the 1 lowing of whistles of all kinds '
on land and water, and the day be
hailed with acclaim and joy.
Let every loyal citizen contribute to!
in "he display of the Flag his testi
mony that he stands for honor , purity
and obedience to law.
Le* every man, woman and child
pledge their faith in the purposes the
Flag represents and wear a token of
the'r liberty in modest, but certain
Ih>w or rosette attached to their dress
Lessons of patriotism will not be
lost in recognition of this memorable
day. The lawless will recognize the
r? presentation of authority, and the
budding spirit of patriotism in youth
ful hearts will be expanded into a de
termination to oppose a foreign or
domestic foe.
In testimony whereof. I have here
into set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of Alaska to be affixed, at
Juneau, the Capital, this Twenty-sev
enth day of May. A. D. 1909.
Willlaw L. Distin.
Acting Governor.
Attest:
\Vm. L. Distin.
Secretary of Alaska.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Ketchikan has raised, by popular j
subscription, a sum of money suffi- 1
cient to send a representative of the |
town to the exposition, where he will j
be stationed during the fair, dissem- j
inating inforniaton about Ketchikan
and the adjacent section. The same !
public spirit t-d citizens have also)
laised the money for the printing of aj
pamphlet for free distribution at the I
fair, advertising the resources of thel
Ketchikan region.
This is getting right down to busi-|
ness. It is a mighty good example
Ketchikan is setting, but neither Ju- j
neau, Douglas, Hahies or Skagwayj
seem at all apt to follow it. ? Juneau!
TranscripL
Those striking Italians who were'
bayoneted because they would not '
move on should have remembered the
scriptural injunction not to "kick,
against the prick."
For precept must be upon precept,
precept upon precept; line upon line.
Hue upon lino; hero u littlo and thora
a little. ? Isaiah, Chapter 82 ? 13.
Home rule for Alaska.
SOLITUDE.
T AL'GII and the world laugh* with you.
Weep And you weep alone,
For this bravo old earth must borrow Its
mirth.
It has troubles enough of Its own.
QJIXO and the hills will answer.
^ Sigh? It In lost on the air!
The echoes bound to a Joyful sound.
But shrink from voicing care.
T>EJOICE and men will seek you;
Grieve and they turn ami go.
They want full measure of all your pleas
ure.
But thoy do not want your woo.
BE glad and your friends are many;
Bo sad and you loso them all.
There Is none to decllno your nectared
wlno.
But alono you must drink life's gall.
FEAST and your halls aro crowded:
Fast and the world goes by.
Succeed and glvo and It helps you live.
But no man can help you dio.
rpiIEBE Is room In the hall* of pleasure
J- For a large and a lordly train.
But one by otto we must all tile on
Through tlio narrow aisles of pain.
?Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
It Is about os Hard to tell a valuable
lie as It Is to dodge a worthless one.
Being able to dictate terms to the
landlord Is enough to Rive any man n
swelled head.
The man who looks like a loud noise
mav be nothing but a big bluff.
T b e unfeeling
person who won't
listen to your
troubles may
have suffered In
the past from
much listening.
No doubt people
who are so fond
of dogs might be
come equally at
tached to children
if they were to
discover that
there are such j
things.
Living on Easy street Is truly de
lightful, but the road to It is some
times rough and beset with peril.
The son of a millionaire Is usually
known by the $ sign.
When a man raises a disturbance
he Is apt to Ik* called on to settle mat
ters with the judge.
Nobody cares where you get off. but
there are a lot who will try to see to
It that you don't get on.
It is sometimes easier to get into an
argument than it is comfortable get
ting out.
Many a young man has discovered
that it sometimes takes a great deal
of time, money and attention to fail
to convince a girl that he is the only
man.
