Proclamation for
Memorial Day Is
Issued by Governor

Lincoln, Neb., May 28.-(SpecialD
A proclamation asking the people
of Nebraska to join in fitting COM
memoration OF Memorial day by
decoration of graves and the holding
of ceremonials in tribute to the ma
tons soldier dead has been issued by
Governor McKelvie. 1t is as fol-
lows:
"We are again reminded. that we
are approaching day which has be-
come of national interest, a day on
which our people, more than any
other. give expression to the purest
and holiest passions of the human
heart; a day when all animosities are
forgotten, when the mistakes of our
fellows are blotted out and dispose
all to regard only the better deeds
of the departed Memories of the
days that are gone crowd in upon US.
A day when we with silent tread ap-
proach the resting place of soldier,
friend and relative, bound to us by
deeds of heroisn, words of kindness
and ties of kinship. A day when the
lips are mute and we can only show
forth the movements of our souls by
symbols, and we cover over the little
green tents in which they dwell with
the flowers of spring and summer.
Following the example of Warren
G. Harding, president of the United
States, we call attention to the day.
and in keeping with the statutes of
our state, we set apart Monday, the
3Oth day of May, 1921, as Memorial
day. By law it is legal holiday.
All departments of state will be
closed, thus affording officers and
employees of the state full opportun-
ity to observe it in the spirit that
actuated our people, by their repre-
sentatives, in consecrating it to the
purposes indicated in this proclama-
ton. All patriotic associations,
churches and societies of whatever
name, and citizens generally are
called upon to assist in its proper
recognition and observance"

OF Harding
President has Faculty of In

Open Since March 4.
Cabinet Falls in Line
BY N. o. MESSENGER.

Copy right, 1891, by the Washington Starr
Washington, d. G., May 2S,-
Especial Telegram - President
Harding, in his night address in New
York City this week, interjected
sentence which was not in the pre-
pared form of the speech. Speaking
of the affairs oil the country, in all
embracing tenor he used the ex-
preston full speed ahead" This
happy utterance was seized upon by
official Washington as descriptive OF
the present motive of the admins
tration in dealing with affairs ad-
ministrative and of congress i'll
handling legislation.
Full speed ahead is indeed the
motto of the men composing the
majority political party now in
charge of government and law max
ing. The throttle was thrown wide
open on the very afternoon Of March
4, and steam has not been shut oft
since. No one more than President
Harding realized the great distance
to be travelled in reaching normal
and stable conditions, nor appre-
ciated more by the anxiety of the
country to gain the coveted destina--
ton. Only by full speed ahead could
this be accomplished, with not
slackening of pace for an instant. He
sensed the deep-seated desire Of the
people, with that intuition for SYM
pathy with the masses which seems
to be a marked characteristic, and
responded to it.

1t is a subject of comment among

from the army after many years of faithful and meritorious service. The same ring" are the ones who have discriminated against the national guard officers, particularly in the new appointments to the regular army, it is said.
 A new chief of staff, selected from the generals who fought in France, would have had no connec- tion with the war department clique that ran things during the war and are running the war department now as the Baker regime is drawing to a close. Such a chief of staff would be able to "clean up" the war de- partment without any reference to the present management, and no doubt would do so. In fact a chief of staff of this kind would be ex- pected to do that very thing by con gress, and congress would consider that he was appointed principally for the purpose or rearranging affairs at the department
 It is therefore expected that imme- diately after the new chief of staff is appointed by MT Harding there will be one of the biggest shakeups in the war department seen in recent years. Officers who are now head ing important bureaus will he traps ferred to command of troops in the field, and those who are considered particulrly obnoxious by congressman or who have been especially active in the March crowd" probably will find themselves suddenly exiled on the Philippines or the Canal zone where they will have no opportunity to play politics" in the army, in stead of attending strictly to their military duties.

MODERN ENTERTAINMENT

Cordova, our neighboring town to the westward, has a lot of enter prising citizens, and possibly the leading one is Capt. Austin E. La throp, a member of the new Iegisla- ture, And captain certainly believes in giving the people of his town op- portunity to enjoy themselves. He started the first big movie show to the westward and now has two big concrete buildings in Anchorage and Cordova to show off his attrac- tiOns.
 The captains latest big enterprise is modern cabaret at Cordoya And he has all the proper accouter- ments that go with it, including pretty girls, orchestra and every- thing. It is high-class and clean and credit to the community. And that suggests the idea that the Capi tai City may some day add 10 it's present attractions by having one of her enterprising citizens establish one of these modern methods of en- rtainment.-Juneau Capital.
