Yesterday automobile races were be-
Ing held at the indianapolis Motor
Speedway. The old soldiers of this
city and of other parts of the state
protested against the meet on this day,
but without avail. Last year the man
agement of the speedway arranged for
large number of members of the In
diana National Guard to act as guards
at the race track. No objection was
made to this arrangement by anyone
because the races were not held on
Memorial Day last year. More than
one hundred members of the National
Guard were hired to perform this serv-
ice under the command of a National
Guard officer. The soldiers were per-
mitted to wear their uniforms in order
to add impressiveness to their appear
ance. The speedway mana cement ar
ranged with the state officials for per-
mission for the soldiers to perform this
service.
This year the dates for the auto
mobile races were so arranged as to
include Memorial Day. Permission
was again sought to employ members
of the National Guard to act as guards
at the speedway, and plans were laid
along that line. But the members of
the Grand Army heard of 1T and they
objected. They requested Governor
Marshall to not allow the soldiers to
appear at the speedway in that
capacity today wearing the uniform OF
soldiers. The veterans regarded it as a
degradation Of the uniform
When this was brought to the atten-
ton of Governor Marshall he issued an

commentaries the noble deeds and the
sacrifices of those men who gave up
their lives for the cause of the union
during the war of the rebellion. Year
after year the old soldiers adopt
resolutions denouncing the custom
which has grown up among the people
of turning the day into a day of sports
and athletic events. But year after
year the practice goes on, and there
seems just as great a tendency in that
direction now as there has ever been
in former years.
So seriously have the old soldiers
taken this matter to heart that lately
there has been a movement started to
change the date of Memorial Day from
May 80 to the last Sunday in May. In
this way they say the day could be
saved for the purpose for which 1t is
intended and there could not be any
sports on that day without a v-olatton
