LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
Governor Mount Asks that the People
Make Suitable Observation.

Governor Mount yesterday issued the an

The federal statutes designate the first
Monday in September of each year as
The statutes of Indiana also make this day
legal holiday, TO be observed in like man
ner. This wise provision of law, both ma
tional and state, was intended to call the
and dignity of labor. AS citizens of Indiana,
we rejoice in the rapid growth and develop
the marvellous prosperity of the Nation. In
third of a century the wealth of this coun-
try has increased $45, ~. 900 goo. more than
20O per cent. The hand of labor has been
the magic power tnat has brought about
TINS vast augmentation of wealth. Waste
places have been transformed into fruitful

Beauty. comfort and convenience have been
created. Cities and towns have been builded
WITH fabulous rapidly Railroads, tele-
graph and telephone lines cover our land
like vast network and, coupled with good
highways, add to our prosperity and prog

TO meet the wants and luxuries of man. 1t
has penetrated the mountain and the mine,
bringing forth ore and coal, and, in the
furnace of industry, has created boundless
wealth. The farmer has cleared the fields
and produced food and fiber The factory,
foundry and shop have taken crude mater
lal and converted it into finished products.
The smoke-begrimed faces and soiled hands
of the men who stand at the throttle of the
engine, or at the furnace, or in the shop, or
who go down into the mine, should be ac-
cepted as labor's insignia and regarded as
mark of honor, likewise also the sun

Of toll from the field. In the sweat of his
brow shall man eat bread is the divine
decree. In all labor there is profit, whether
manual or mental, and both should be alike
honored.
Let this day be suitably observed. Let
us extol labor as the creative power of
wealth, anu let us honor workingmen as the
bulwarks of the Nations strength, the
source of it's opulence and the hope of it's
future prosperity and greatness.
Now, therefore, l James A. Mount, Gov
ernor of Indiana, do hereby designate Mon
ady, Sept. ,, as Labor day, to be observed
as such by the people of the State of In
diana, in accordance with the statutes of
the United States and of said State"
