TERRITORY OK ALASKA
By the Governor
PROCLAMATION
Whereas a state ot’ war exists be
tween the United States and the im
perial governments ot* Germany and
Austria, and a situation has thus been
created unparalleled in the history ot
our international relations, the duty
devolves upon me, as governor, to re
mind the people of the territory that
we have within our borders many
men, subjects of those countries with
which the United States is at war.
The present crisis, therefore, calls for
the exercise of sound judgment and
forbearance, and no word or deed on
the part of American citizens should
operate to incite racial feelings or
create prejudice against those who
have come to the territory for the
purpose of bettering their condition
and enjoy the inalienable right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
guaranteed by the constitution ot * he
United States.
As strangers in a strange land they
are entitled to the utmost considera
tion. always provided that they com
port themselves in accordance with
our laws anil with due respect for our
institutions.
This is a time when upon every
earnest, fair minded, patriotic citizen
of our common country rest grave
duties and important responsibilities.
Few of us appreciate how serious are
the conditions that confront j.' or how
fraught with good or ill may be the
course of the American people during
the present year.
We are called upon to render real
service to our country, and this in
cludes a renewal of our pledges in sup
port of those institutions that have
been the outgrowth of the application
of democratic principles to govern
ment. I have, therefore, to urge upon
all the people of Alaska that the
course they shall pursue during the

continuance of this war be marked by
the exercise of the best judgment they
i
can summon to their aid in all circum
stances; law and order must be prc
served, and careless, seditious or
; treasonable speech on the part of any
person or persons will be at their
! peril. There will be no trouble, and
1
no serious situation is likely to be
created, if each and all will remember
the duty they owe our country and
flag, whether they be citizens of
America or sojourners owing allegi
ance to the countries with which a
state of war now exists.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the territory of Alaska, in Juneau,
i the capital, this twelfth day of April,
, in the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and seventeen, and of
the independence of the United States,
the one hundred and forty-first.

Now that fly time is hero every per
son shoud feel it incumbent upon him
sef to kill every fly that comes. his
way.
No longer can we dismiss the fiy
with a contemptuous \shrn;’ lie is
an influence to be rec’ione I with.
Ulack as he is painted, we must con
cede him certain virtues. From a
worldly point of view, he is a hustler
“from way back;” perpetually on the
job, and always delivers the goods.
-
He distributes samples of pestilence
with a lavish hand, and the goods al
ways match the sampes whether you
have ordered them >r not, and are
marked I). 0. I).—Deatn on Delivery.
We may admire the fly for his in
dustry, pertinacity and business en
terprise. We may even love him—
lukewarmly—as one of (Sod’s crea
tures, but we had better wipe him
gently but firmly out of existence,
just the same. Flies, like Artemus
Ward’s Injuns, “is pizen wherever
found.”
He is the best traveling salesman
known to humanity; carries a grip on
each of his six legs and a trunk on his
head. His line of samples is the most
extensive and longest known, and will
last you, not merely from this year to
next, but from time to eternity. 1
A fly in the house is as dangerous
as a rattlesnake, as filthy as a louse, I
and as disgraceful as a bedbug. The
time will come when anv modern,
cleanly home will feel itself shamed
and disgraced by the presence of a;
fly, and when every householder upon \
whose premises a brood of flies is
detected will be heavily fined or sent
to jail.
