PRocLAIMs LEGAL HOLIDAY.

Gov. B. F. Carroll issued Wednes-
day a proclamation calling upon the
people of the State of Iowa to OBJ
serve Friday, February IL, Lncoln's
enc hundredth birthday anniversary,
as legal holiday. The resolution
called attention to the fact that
the legislature had passed a law
creating the day as such and recon-
inended that schools. societies and
other organization celebrate the day
in a fitting manner. The proclama-
ton follows:
The general assembly has patrioti-
cally written into the statutes of our
state an act providing that the an
niversary of the birthday of our
martyred president, Abraham Lincoln
be made legal holiday. This legis-
lstive enactment is significant of the
place which this great American held
in the hearts of our people. The mem
oily of Lincoln and of his deeds of
patriotism are firmly fixed in the
minds of all loyal American citizens.
The story of his life his struggle with
ambition and with poverty, his Won
derful administration of affairs in
times of divisive strife, the sacrifice
OF his own life as final gift to the
cause of the Union, are well known
tales of every fireside. With his
death our nation was forced to UNDER
so its greatest sorrow and north and
south alike knelt at the tomb of Linz
coin, bowed in grief and tears. His
great deeds have been inscribed on
the indestructible pages of our his
tor The principles advocated and
promulgated by him form the firm
for our present Union.
Therefore it is meet that the peo-
pie of Iowa and of the nation place
upon memory's shrine the tributes of
grateful and loving considerations:
and,
Whereas, we are approaching the
centennial anniversary of the birth
OF this great American, it is not only
fitting that we as patriotic and
greatful people, do recall the life, the
deeds and the death of Abraham Lin
coin, but it is right and proper that
we acknowledge the debt of gratitudel
we owe to this great statesman and
liberator in the preservation of Amer
lean liberty.
Therefore, l, B. F. Carroll, COVER
nor of Iowa do most earnestly recon-
mend that Friday, February IL, 1909,
shall be set aside in commemoration
OF the life and deeds of Abraham Lin
coin and that his memory be honored
in fitting services and that the pa
triotic societies, the civil organiza-
lions, the churches and the schools
unite in reverent unanimity to pay
tribute to the life and character OIL
our martyred president, Abraham Lin
coin.
l further recommend that inasmuch
as the G. A. R. organizations of the
state, through the proper officers
thereof, have already planned Lincoln
exercises that in SO far as
is convenient the people in general
join with this loyal and patriotic or
ganization in the first observance of
this legal holiday. the centennial of
the birth of President Lincoln.
In witness whereof 1 have hereun-
to set my hand and caused to be af-
fixed the great seal of the state of
Iowa.
Done at Des Moines, this 26th day
of January, A. d. 1909.
By the governor: B. F. Carroll.
