MEMORIAL DAY
PROCLAMATION

1t is now more than half a
century since the close of that
terrible conflict in which SO
many gave up their lives upon
the field of battle for the
preservation of this nation
and the perpetuation of that
liberty for which it stands.
Comparatively few of those
who participated in the great
struggle Of that dark period
of American history are today
alive. Most of them are Sleep
ing in the land they helped to
make free and in the re-uni-
ted country for which they
were willing to die. The i'm
mortal service which the SOL
ders of the Civil War rem
dered to all of US, who in our
generation are enjoying the
results of their sacrifices, to-
sether with the valor of those
who fought in the Spanish
American war for a righteous
cause, can never be forgotten
by the patriotic people of a
grateful republic.
Let US, therefore, on Men,
oriaI Day, Tuesday, May 80,
1916, close our public build
ines, schools, stores, fatories
and other places of business,
and upon that day suspend la
Dor of all kinds, in order that
we may hold appropriate
memorial exercises, decorate
the graves of the heroic dead,
and again show our gratitude
to them, who in the days
when our country was in great
danger, SO bravely went forth
to its defense.
Heretofore the children of
our schools have been ad-
dressed by the old veterans on
the Friday preceding Memoir
iaI Day, but this year, by rea-
son Of the large decrease in
their number and on account
of the age of those who re-
main, a special request comes
from them that our state and
! municipal authorities and our
) citizens generally volunteer
their services for this partic-
ular purpose. All, therefore,
are hereby especially urged to
assist in perpetuating this pa
triotic custom, inaugurated by
the Grand Army of the Re-
public, to the end that every
school in the state may be
visited and the future guar
dams of the nation be inspired
with the spirit of true loyalty
and patriotism.
