Memorial Day.

Governor Van SAINT has issued his
official proclamation for Memorial
day. May 80, in the state of Mime
sofa. 1t is as follows:
ITO the soldier-living and dead
our nation owes it's life. To him we
are indebted for all the blessings we
enjoy in our model republic; his I'm.
selfish sacrifices and devotion to the
cause of liberty are unprecedented in
the history of warfare.
We cannot too highly honor the
diving. or too sacredly revere the
memory Of the dead. Realizing this,
the state and nation have by wise
legislation designated an annual
Memorial day, On this day let us
show our love and gratitude. to the
American soldier. Let us deck with
the choicest floral offerings the graves
of our patriot dead. Let us extend
to the living heroes the nations love,
and let us renew our fealty to the
cause Of liberty and consecrate our
selves to the institutions Of our
country for which these men fought
and died to save. Let US, then, OBJ
serve as legal holiday Saturday,
May 80.
Iwould suggest that flags be placed
at half mast. and that all factories,
mills, stores, mercantile houses and
offices be closed and all business sus-
spended that the day may be most
sacredly observed in every city, viii
lage and hamlet In Minnesota"
