MINoLlNG OF BLUE AND GRAY
Suggestion for One Common Memorial
Day While Vet the Veterans
Aro With Us.

Early In 1856, just after the close OF
the Civil war. Mrs. Mary A. w. How
ard. widow Of q confederate offlcer
suggested the setting apart Of q day
for placing flowers ON graves of con.
federate soldiers and for appropriate
memorial exercises. The idea was re.
ceived with general approval, and
April 26. that year. was made the oc.
casion for the FIRST confederate me.
mortal observances.
This southern idea appealed to the
sentiments of men and women OF the
north as worthy of imitation. In 1868,
Gen. John A. Logan, then national
commander OF the Grand Army, issued
an order calling for Memorial day ex.
ercises May 30.
The latter date has been retained
as the time for the annual decoration
OF union soldiers graves and public
exercises commemorative of the lives
and deeds of the men In blue. The
ex-confederates In most of the states
have continued to observe April &c,
though the custom is not uniform.
On both sides, the rosters Of the sur
vivors who will participate In the me-
mortal exercises are decreasing sadly,
fearfully. In q comparatively short
time all will have jsined their com.
rades "on flames eternal camping
grounds"
There still is left time for both sides
to unite In observing a general Me-
mortal day. Nothing In all the worlds
history was ever 80 impressive 60
would be the mingling Of the blue and
gray IN paying mutual tribute to the
dead OF the two armies who fought
