HONOR PAID TO
ROOSEVELT BY
GOV. M'KELv|E
October q, Birthday Of Great
Patriot, Appointed Ameri-
canization Day by
Proclamation.

Lincoln, Oct. 11.-(Special.)-
Governor McKelvie has appointed
Monday, October u, the olst annil
versary of the birth of President
Theodore Roosevelt Americaniza-
ton day by the following proclama-
ton:
The progress that our country has
made as a nation has been greatest
during those periods when the peo-
pie made the least departure from
the true principles of Americanism.
And today think the greatest dan
ger lies in tendency on the part of
some to confuse the principles of the
republic with those of other less de-
sirable forms of government. SO
in these times of confusion and I'M
certainty and unrest it is important
that we should seek to restore nor
NAL conditions through a full I'M
Outstanding and conscientious ap-
plication Of the principles of the re-
public.
The republic has produced many
great statesmen. II could not be
otherwise, for the requirement of
this form of government are such
that success can only be- wrought
through the development of virile,
sane, clear thinking, honest men,
who are able to comprehend the
great problems of the times.
Among, these, Theodore Roosevelt
stands out most prominently. He
was the type of true American who,
with a clear vision of the purposes
of the republic, repeatedly called
the people back to an understand
ing Of the dangers that Turk in de-
partures from the purposes of the
fundamental law that was written by
the fathers. Unfortunate it is that
we have not the benefits of his wise
counsel today. but we have in its
stead the memory of his unhagging
courage and his determination of
American purposes, to guide us and
stimulate our patriotic impulses and
efforts.
Therefore, in order that we may
properly respect the name of this
great American, and, through a
study of his life, instill in the minds
OF the people new appreciation of
the meaning of true Americanism, |
hereby designate October 81, which
is the birthday of Theodore Roose-
welt, Augmentation Day, to be
observed throughout this state and
by all the people. ..
