do recognize the great and solemn
Importance of this event in the
history of the United States, and
in that of this State, and will, in
commemOration of it, celebrate the
23d day of December, 1908, the
centennial anniversary of the
official transfer; be it further.
"Resolved, That the Louisiana
Historical Society beauthorized to
adopt programme of ceremonies
fitting the dignity of the State
and the Importance of the event.
to be submitted to the Governor
and the Legislature at it's next
session, for the appropriate celeb
ration of the day; that our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Con
gress be requested to secure the
co operation of the Federal govern
ment there, in order that national
participation in and cOmmemora-
ton of one of the greateat achieve
ments in our national history be
secured and due celebration be
thereby made which shall be
worthy of the OCCASION"
Mr.. Thorpe went into an expla-
ton of the resolution. He said the
final cessiOn of Louisiana was
made in the old CabildO off Jack
son Square, Dee, %, 1903. The
thirteen original States were but
mere fractional strip on the At.
lantic Ocean. The territory of the
country was quadrupled. day
the cession could be fully apprecia
ted. From the cessiOn had come
a series of incidents, doctrines and
principles which had become
woven into the Constitution. But
for this cessiOn the important
questions now befo 9 the country
would have no existence. No
event in the history of the United
States had given so much toward
the up-building of the country.
st Louis would celebrate the sign
ing of the treaty of Paris and it
was meet that Louisiana should
celebrate the final cessiOn signed
in the CabildO. 1t was hope to
secure an appropriation by Con,
grtss sufficiently large to pay
for celebration worthy Of the
occasion and perhaps restore the
old CadildO.
