Governor Deneen Issues Request for
Observation of May 80.
Springfield, H., May Ex-Governor
Deneen has issued the following Memo
rial day proclamation:
Following the custom whose observ-
ance records the honor in which the
valor of our soldier dead is held by
the people of our country, I, Charles
S. Deneen, governor of the state of
Illinois, do hereby proclaim Saturday,
May 30, 1908, Memorial day. And /
urge upon the citizens of Illinois that
they spend the day in exercises suita-
ole to the commemoration of the hero
ism of the American soldier, of his
devotion to our beloved country and
Iunwavering fidelity to duty in the hour
of danger.
Participation in the beautiful cere-
mony of decorating the graves of our
soldier dead is privilege which can
not be too highly priced by the citizens
of Illinois. The spirit of patriotism
breathes through this occasion and the
recalling of the days of darkness and
danger through which the American
soldier led our beloved country to
union and reconciliation is one of the
rich heritages which have come to us
from a glorious past.
There can be no better inspiration
to patriotism in the youth of our coun-
try than participation in the observ-
ance of this day, with its stirring re-
|citals by those who took part in the
great struggle of the story of how the
nation was saved.

The horse is represented in the attitude
