shaft would bear the simple word
Unknown Considerable controversy
In recent years has appeared in rela-
ton to the author of the suggestion,
and much of 1t has found lodgment in
the library of the war department at
Washington"
Memorial day, May 80, though wide
ly observed as a national holiday, is
such by virtue of state laws and gen.
eral custom and not because Of act
Of congress. Congress has practically
passed no laws creating holidays for
the whole country. 1t has designated
the second Sunday in May as Moth
ers' day. President Wilson, by proc
lamation May 80, 1915, requested that
June IA be observed as Flag day. But
national holidays like July Fourth and
New Years day have not been enacted
by congress.
There Is no controversy over the
fact that Memorial day was first so
designated In general orders to mem
bers of the Grand Army Of the Re
public In 1868 by Gen. John A. Logan,
then its commander in chief. This
order is as follows, as preserved in
the G. A. r. headquarters in Phila.
delphia:
Headquarters Grand Army of the
Republic, Adjutant Generals Office
446 Fourteenth street, Washington
D. G., May 8, 1868.
General Orders No. II.
81. The Both day of May, 1868, is
designated for the purpose Of strewing
with flowers or otherwise decorating
the graves Of comrades who died In
defense of their country during the
late rebellion and whose bodies now
lie in almost every city, village and
hamlet churchyard In the land. Ir
this observance no form of ceremony
is prescribed, but posts and comrades
will in their own way arrange such
fitting services and testimonials of re
spect as circumstances may permit.
1--WE are organized, comrades, as oul
regulations tell us, for the purpose
among other things, of preserving ant
strengthening those kind and fraterna
feelings which have bound together
the soldiers, sailors and marines wht
united to suppress the late rebellion.
What can aid more to assure this re
suit than cherishing tenderly the mem
DRY of our heroic dead, who made theil
| breasts barrlcade between our coun
try and its foes? Their soldier live
were the revellle of freedom to a race
in chains and their deaths the tatto,
of rebellious tyranny in arms. W,
should guard their graves with sacret
vigilance. All that the consecratet
wealth and taste Of the nation can adj
to the adornment and security is but {
fitting tribute to the memory of he
slain defenders. Let no wanton foo
tread rudely on such hallowed grounds
Let pleasant paths invite the coming
and going of reverent visitors and font
mourners. Let no vandalism of ayarc

tons that we, have forgotten as q peo-
pie the cost of free and undivided
republic.
IF other eyes grow dull, other hands
solemn trust, ours shall keep 1t well
as long as the light and warmth Of
life remain to US.
Let us, then, at the time appointed
gather around their sacred remains
and garland the passlonless mounds
above them with the choicest flowers
of springtime; let US In this solemn
presence renew our pledges to aid and
assist those whom they have left

"2. 1t is the purpose of the COM

servance with the hope that 1t will be
kept up from year to year, while a

the memory Of his departed comrades.

was followed by the observation OF
the first Memorial day in seventeen
states. Maine In 1874 made Memorial
day legal holiday. Massachusetts
did the same in 1881. Other states
followed Now Memorial day (May
30) is legal holiday in most Of the
northern states. Alabama, Georgia
Florida and Mississippi observe April
20 and North and South Carolina
May 10.
So the origin Of the observance OF
Memorial day on May 80 is settled
beyond question.
But where did the Idea that lies
back of the observance Of Memoria,
day originate? Here indeed is room
for controversy.
In the first place there were deco
rations of Civil war graves previous
to 1868 In various localities of the
North and South. These were mostly
informal. The earliest date back t.
the days Of war itself and were merely
local observances.
October @, 1866, Col. Andrew Fl. Fl

Love az n Ward

Love, even as word only, must
stand alone. 1t is one of the great
monosyllables Of our great language
Love. 1t is the Invisible gravita-
ton of life. With Its invisible cords,
viewless but potent, 1t draws hearts
together over eternal spaces. and holds
them together in an indissoluble bond

 RECORDS OF MEN

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 7.-Every doughboy, leatherneck and gob who wore a uniform during the world war and claimed Wyoming as his home will have his name, home address and full military record on file in the of flee of the newly created historical department of the state government so that future generations may know the deeds of the present generation
 The work of compiling these rec ords was commended during the wal by the council of national defense thru Miss Agnes Wright, state libra rian, who undertook to organize coun ty and local committees to gather data. Then the legislature decided that now was good time to accu mulate a "past" and authorized the appointment of a state historian
 The new department is taking uT the work unfinished by the counci Ol uClCubC duu NOluuICCI WOI hCIo dA eagerly assisting in gathering facts about Wyoming's participation in tht war. Personal "reminiscences are val ued highly and state officials believe the work, when completed, will pro vide valuable sidelights on the wal which will be of great interest ant historical value.
 The historian is trying to make thu compilation more than a mere repor and a catalog of names. Each volun teer historian is asked to gather in teresting anecdotes of Wyoming fight ers' experiences in whipping the Hul and send them to the State Historica department, Room 302 Capital build ing, Cheyenne.

FLINT PICED UP BY RANCHER SIMILAR TO WASHINGTON
 FLINTS.

G. G. Berg, the Happy rancher, who visited town yesterday, was exhibit ing small piece of flint, evidently at one time used for spear head. The stone was dark blue in color and MT. Berg stated that as far as he knew such fiints have only been found pre- viously in Lewis county, Washington, having been used by the Indians in that section of the country alone.
 It is fairly smooth, lacking the rough, jagged appearance which char. acterizes most flint stones found ill nearly every section of the country The stone was not complete, only a piece about two inches in length be ing found. While the flint has nc especial value it is rare curiosity in this section of the country.

LABOR UNIONS
 NOT RECOGNIZE SOVIET GOVT
FEDERATION REFUSES TO EN- DORSE RECOGNITION OF BOIL SHEVIKI GOVERNMENT IN RUS SIA; EFFORT MADE TO CHANGE THE DATE OF LABOR DAY.

ATLANTIC CITY, June 17.-R)- The soviet government in Russia can not look for official recognition from the American labor unions that are affiliated with the American Fedora tion of Labor.
 A resolution was presented before the convention this afternoon calling for a complete recognition of the soviet government by the federation. This resolution was badly defeated when brot to vote of the labor delegates, only the more radical la borites supporting it.
 A determined effort was made to day by the radical element of the federation to have the date of Labor Day changed to the first Monday in May. This idea was strongly op posed by President Samuel GOmpers personally. He declared that he strongly opposed any attempt to give this day dedicated to the American laboring man the same significance as that borne by May Day in Europe which is evidently the desire of the radicals. The convention, by a large majority, refused to change the date.
