Fne Proclamation.
"The subject OF peace has oeen an
inspiration for the most beautltui
thoughts that have ever found human
ay,,rsssiop. War has written into the
pages of history the most narrowing
tales of carnage and suffering that the
men has ever pictured. Peace has knit
families. communities and countrymen
together in the bonds OF love- mas
builded happy homes; has reared peau
tiful cities and esta blshed the mos
prosperous of nations. Strife, coniIlct
and discord have torn asunder the tenn,
nles OF happiness, while war has ruined
1;yes and homes wrecked communities
and destroyed nations. 49,,
HThc seeds of Christianity wmcn
have been sown IN the nations OF the
earth have borne fruit in universal
sentiment for peace. Representatives
OF the world powers have gathered In
peace conferences to perfect plan OF
international arbitration and do away
with war, and through this movement
the crowning hope of Christianity mas
been frightened
To Foster Sentiment.
"That this sentiment for peace may
be fostered and extended until 1t pene'
trates the heart of every human being,
a day has been set apart to be 90
served by the people as Peace day
"Now, therefore, L, William Spry,
governor of the state Of Utah, 40
hereby designate Sunday, May II, 1911.
as peace day and do earnestly urge
that all religious, fraternal and benevo-
lent organizations OF the state hold
appropriate exercises that will have for
their object the promotion of interna-
tional concord and amity. ] also rec
ommend that Friday, May IS, 1911, be
observed in like manner by the schools
of the state.
''The Utah State Peace society has
adopted a resolution indorsing the pro-
posal OF the president Of the United
States for the establishment of an in
ternational court and the development
of a code of international equity which
nations will recognize as affording a
better method of settling international
controversies than war. ] respectfully
urge that all religions. fraternal aud
benevolent organizations adopt and for
ward TO the president of the United
States. the United States senators and
representative of the state of Utah the
following resolutions:
In Line With Taft.
Whereas, the president Of the
United States. in recent speech on the
most important subject, 'The Peace of
the World, urged that we must have
some method of settling the issues be
tween nations, and if we do not have
arbitrat tion we shall have war. What
teaches nations and people the possibil-
ity of permanent peace is the actual set
tlement of controversies by courts of ar.
bitration.'
" Therefore. be it resolved that it is
in entire accord with President Taft S
proposal, that we indorse the principle
Of international arbitration along the
lines laid down by him and that we
urge him and our representatives in con
gress to use all means in their power to
bring about the enactment of such a
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain as shall settle all future
difficulties between these nations by ar
bitration and, by the power of example
hasten the dawn of universal peace
"In testimony whereof. J have here.
unto set my hand and caused TO be af.
fixed the great seal of the state of
Utah, Done at Salt Lake City. the
capital, this 18th day of May. A. D.
