Governor Mills today issued the fol-
lowing Mothers Day proclamation:
Nineteen hundred and ten was the
first year in this territory in which
the Governor issued a proclamation
setting apart a day to be observed as
Mothers Day. / consider it a great
privilege to be permitted TO again
name such a day. | hope that the
practice will be continued in the fu-
ture so that Mothers Day will be
observed in every state, territory and
possession Of our great nation.
1t is proper that one day in each
year should be set apart to he especi-
ally devoted to thinking OF and paying
tribute TO our mothers if alive, and
to their memories if they have pass
ed away. BY their example and train
ing, mothers have made the American
people what they are today. Mothers
love is synonymous with all that is
good and holy; whatever measure OF
happiness and success one has had in
life is largely due to the guidance and
influence of his mother the woman
who loved him better than any one
else on earth.
NOW THEREFORE, l, William !
Mills Governor of the Territory OF
New Mexico, do hereby designate and
appoint Sunday, May 14th, 1911, as
MOTHERS DAY,
and recommend that on said day all
of our citizens attend divine wor-
snip; that each of them, if possible,
wear a white flower as typical of the
purity, sweetness and love of our
mothers; and | further suggest that
all priests, ministers and preachers
Of the gospel on that day preach SER
mons taking as text Mothers and
Mothers Love
