COLUMBUS DAY IS
LEGAL HOLIDAY
GOVERNOR MOORE ISSUES PRO-
CLAMATION, CALLING ON STATE
TO OBSERVE OCTOBER IL

Governor c. c. Moore has issued a
proclamation declaring Columbus
Day, October IL, legal holiday in
the state, and setting forth some of
the qualities of the great discoverer,
which have passed down through
time, and are among the outstanding
qualities of the citizenship of Amer
lea.
The governors proclamation fol-
lows:
By legislative enactment, October
twelfth has been set aside as a legal
holiday in Idaho, in memory of a
great discoveror
More than four centuries ago there
lived in a small Italian city youth
with the vision of a great world with
in the confines of his mind and soul.
He saw beyond the borders of the or
binary marts and commerce and pic
tured new lands and new peoples. He
was the first typical pioneer who
pushes out on uncharted seas in
search of better living and greater
rewards.
Christopher Columbus was willing
in the face of science of the ages to
assert his intrepid judgment founded
upon common sense. Here was an
other artisan teaching the wise men
of all times. He was not afraid to
tear apart the veil of ignorance and
dark superstition and step into the
light of truth and bring to view a new
and better world
We owe much to Christopher Col
umbuS. Much of his pioneering spir-
it has been inherited by the sons and
daughters of this land, Columbia. We
profit in political freedom and the
spirit of independence from the ex-
ample set by the discoverer of our
country. Such land and such peo-
pie were born to be free in every
sense.
1t seems fitting that we do honor to
christopher Columbus for in so do
ing we nourish the. spirit of loyalty
and devotion to our country. 1t is
hlghly necessary at times to compare
ourselves with great characters of
history that we may measure our
own worth
Now, therefore, I, G. G. Moore, Gov
ernor of the State of Idaho, do hereby
proclaim Friday, October twelfth.
four hundred and thirty-one years
from the date of the discovery of
America by Christopher Columbus, as
a legal holiday within the state of
Idaho.
