Governors Memorial Day Proclamation

sThe soldiers for the war for the
union have permanent place in the
hearts of the American people. The
cause in which they fought and the
spirit in which they left their peaceful
eallings K, take up the work of war has
made them living force in the con-
science of the republic. AS citizen
soldiers, who fought for peace and
were adverse to war, they set an ex-
/ anst hafor all time; and IA such their
spiste must ever march in the van OF
our nation s destiny.
For these reasons the Grand Army
| is never dead. With each recurring
year they stand before us as vitality as
ever. The march of time has been I'M
able to leave them behind.
THE day which is dedicated to their
memory is not the anniversary of a
great battle. We do not celebrate
Antietum. or Gettysburg, or Appomat-
tox. Their day is not one of noisy
demonstration, as when we triumph
over an alien foe. 1t is simply day
in spring when nature brings forth
flowers to lay upon their graves. 1t is
a fit spirit in which we remember
those valient hosts that felt no pride
of conquest and left behind them no
heritage of hate.
II earnestly remind the people of
their duty to keep May Both memora-
BILE. In schools and churches and in
public meeting places, where all may
join. let US honor their memory and
again consecrate our lives and thoughts
to those national ideals which they
cherished more dearly than their lives. "
