MEMORIAL DAY PROCLAMATION.
Executive Office, Santa Fe, N. M,
May II, 19OO.-Memorial day has existed
for a generation in the United States,
as one to be especially devoted to the
memory Of the soldiers and sailors of
the nation, who have given their lives
that it might survive: to inculcate les
sons of patriotism from the example of
the heroic dead, and to keep alive in the
breasts of our neople the knowledge
that at is sweet and proper to die for
ones country"
While on that day we should mourn
for the dead, we must also remember
the living who are serving their coun-
try by land and sea on the other side of
the world, that the flag of our country
may not come down from where 1t has
been raised.
This territory mourns the loss of some
of her gallant sons in that far away
country, while others of them are still
there, upholding the honor of the ma
ton, and it seems but proper that this
day should now meet with more gen.
eral observance than any heretofore,
and with a spirit and reverence fully
becoming the occasion.
Now, therefore, I, Miguel A. Otero,
governor of the Territory of New Mex
leo, do recommend that upon Wednes-
day, the 3Oth day of May. A. D. 1900,
the people of the territory refrain from
all unnecessary labor and all public
amusements and join with the Grand
Army Of the Republic in a due and
proper observance of the day, to the
memory of those who have died that
their country might live; to acts of res
pect and care for those soldiers and
sailors who have survived the wars in
which they were engaged, and in honor
of those who are now serving their
country as soldiers and sailors.
Done at the executive Office. this the
18th day of May, A. D. 1900. Witness
my hand and the great seal of the
Territory Of New Mexico.
MIGUEL A. OTERO,
| Governor of New Mexico
