ARNLISTICE DAY.

nv proclamation Governor o, A.
r.arrazolo of New Mexico has asked
that this day be observed as a public
holiday, adding that the whole WORLD
sbonld celebrate the anniversary OF
the surrender of autocratic power to
the people and the downfall of des-
potlc power.
The churches of New Mexico arc
asked to give special Thanksgiving
service and communities TO have civic
ceremonies in honor of the dead and
the living, who died or suffered for
the welfare of the nation and of the
world. 1t is a fitting anniversary
saws the state executive. for commem-
Grafton of the great achievement, and
as a fitting and just tribute to our
brave American boys who so nobly
upbeld the traditions of our common
country in the battlefields beyond the
seas.
November II. 1918. the date on
which the Germans formally sur
rendered has many claims to con-
s;deration as the most momentous
date in history. Certainly it has TAI
better grounds for being commemora'
ted than some of the legal holidays.
Why not make November II 9
national and international holiday?
Few events during the lifetime o.
the people of today have so mucf
warranted public rejoicing and th'
nerpetuation of their memory through
annual celebration as the signing o
the death warrant of autocracy OF
November II of last year.
The only reasonable objection tina
anyone could raise to making a hon
day of the date is that already ther'
are many holidays. Can any goo'
reason be advanced why ThanksglVinl
should not be advanced to Novemoe
IN? Certainly the United States, alonI
with the rest of the world, has n
greater reason for thankfulness thai
that found in the event Represents
in the signing of the armistice.
The matter might we'll claim tn
attention of the American Legion
which is in national convention i
Minneapolis.
