HOW LOUISIANA PURCHASE
FLAG DAY ORIGINATED.
So was the Louisiana Purchase Flag Day
mediately after its BIRTH and to have slum-
bered peacefully until 1t was aroused by a
letter from the author of the article quoted.
to THE Board of Directors. Louisiana Pur-
chase Centennial. St. Louis NO.. and
written in Denver Colo. on November II.
He urged upon the then rather chaotic
Worlds Fair organization to use its en-
deavors to have the day observed as mild
kind or holiday. ana says tnat III SIlOulu
be made patriotic. educational. instructive
and awaken historical research"
An effort was made that year to have the
day observed, but 1t did not meet with any
startling success. At this appearance, the
Louisiana Purchase Flag Day did not ap-
pear very healthy nor promising infant
but another sleep. this time three years in
length, so strengthened it that one could
hardly recognize it when 1t came forth De-
cember 8. 1901. when the following letter
was sent to the Governors of all States In
the Louisiana Purchase:
ST. Louis Dec. s. 19o1.-Sir: inc'ose for your
consideration a copy of letter from Mr. Will
c. Ferril. curator Of the State Historical and
Natural History Society OF Colorado, suggesting
the observance of December 20 as Louisiana
Purchase Flag Day.

tion of the proposition We have selected that
day as the most appropriate for the first i'm
pressive ceremonies in connection with the

GROUND WAS BROKEN ON THIS
DAY AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.
Up to this time the day had been cele.

behalf.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The writing of history contemporaneously
with the making of 1t is diversion which
should be indulged in much more than It
is 1t does, of course. put an end to THESE
sanguine wars of the wise people about
whether the name of the village in which
some great man was porn enus with Oil

Eugene Field Is of the present. One 1eeis
that anything about him should be con-
sidered news instead of history. but still
an eminent committee erected on mouse
tablet with legend spread across it re,
citing that herein was the poet born, ana
IT now appears that the house in which
he actually was born is mile away.
That can be accounted for by the sup
position that probably no one put ms
mother expected that the date and place
of his birth would ever be of historlcai IN
terest She doubtless knew that they Wouio

proven beyond reasonable doubt that TINS
holiday was established in commernoration
of each of a dozen events. spread generaiy
between the landing of the Pilgrims anu
the ending of the Revolutionary War.
The uncertainty in regard to Christmas Is
We'll known. r
1t appears that the date of the raising OF
the first American flag as token OF posses
Iy conceded to be December 20, 1903. Is about
as clearly established as any GATE Oh its I'LL
portance.
Yet. there is a gentleman in New Orleans
who gallantly champions the cause OF De
cember 80 1903, all because certain 81,
rectory OF New Orleans published In 1919
says the transfer was made on the latter
date.
This gentleman probably does not take in
to consideration the charge that printer s,
now the pillars of Y. NJ. c. As and slmi-
lar institutions, were in that day rollickins,
convivial fellows. and the '.2'' box and the
'.3'' box are very close together. All or
which brings US to the question in hand.
WILL BECOME A REGULARLY
ESTABLISHED HOLIDAY.
From the widespread interest displayed
by almost all the States of the Purchase
Territory 1t IS strongly evident that the
yearly recurrence of the day on which the
American colors were first broken out IN
the Territory of Louisiana is destined to
become a regularly established holiday in
these Western States. 1t is to the end that
no uncertainty shall exist as to its incep-
tion and formation that the present writer
seats himself and takes his pen in hand.
The following article appeared In the Den
yer Times of December 90 1894. 1t was writ
ten by Mr.. Will c. Ferril, one-time news
paper writer of St. Louis.
This should be Transmissippi Flag Day. 1t

and municipal buildings. 1t should be hoisted
over the scnoolhouses.

the history Of the nation. Every school boy and
