MEMORIAL DAY PROCLAMATION.
The nations that have lived in
history, song and story, are the
nations that have been true to
the memory of their defenders.
Patriotism lias been the guiding
star of all national progress.
Liberty-loving i>eople never fail
to express their patriotic senti-
ments in word and in deed. In
our great republic the patriotism
of a grateful people has been
demonstrated by a day which
has been set apart to honor the
memory of our beloved dead.
The thirtieth day of May is a day
sacred to every one who loves
Freedom's starry ensign, whose
heart beats time to Liberty's
march and whose soul is thrilled
by the memory of patriotic and
heroic deeds. It "is right that
the memory of those who died
for their country should be cher-
ished by the present and coming
generations, and there are no
more fitting symbols of love than |
the garlands of flowers with j
which we, every year, decorate j
our soldiers' graves. These
floral emblems are the offerings
which a grateful people bring to
Freedom's altar.
The purpose of this day is not
to stir up the bitter animosities
of the past; not to excite the sec-
tional strife and differences of
other days; not to boast of mili-
tary achievements or victory
over a vanquished foe; not to
please the ear of leadership with
flattery's wily commendation;
but to pay our tribute of love and
honor to the nation's heroes who
louglit in Freedom's holy cru-
sade. Not only in these beauti
ful ceremonies do we honor and
cherish the memory of the dead
but we impress upon the mind
and heart of the rising genera
tion, which will be perpetuated
to generations yet to come, the
true lesson of patriotism and
love for flag and country.
Therefore, I respectfully rec-
ommend that the
Thirtieth day of May,
nineteen hundred and two, be
observed in an appropriate man-
ner as authorized by law and es-
tablished by custom, by all the
people of Oklahoma.
Let us lay aside the ordinary
duties and pursuits of life and
heartily join in the exercises
held under the auspices of the
Grand Army of the Republic, to
perpetuate tenderly and lovingly
the memory of the nation's dead.
And, while we strew flowers
upon the graves of those who
consecrated their lives for the
preservation of the Union, let us
not forget that we have now
graves to decorate, that there
are also those of a later day and
generation, who, in the hour
when the storm-cloud hung dark-
ly along the horizon, enlisted in
a war for Freedom and carried
our starry banner to a foreign
shore. They came from the
north, the land of stately pine
and tho apple blossom; they also
came from the south, the land of
the willow and the magnolia
bloom; they all fought gallantly
under one flag, and some of them
died heroically while defending
it. Today that flag stands senti-
nel in the distant lands of the
sea, keeping vigils over their
aves. When we strew our
floral tributes of love upon the
graves of the soldiers of the Civil
War, let us remember the sol-
diers of the Spanish-American
War; let us bring our heartfelt
offerings, consecrate anew at tho
altar of Freedom, and lovingly
place a garland of flowers for
every soldier who has upheld the
ner, either upon land or upon
sea.

WILLIAM WAS KNIGHT1Y
BIT NOT POLITIC
United Slates Will Never Relin-
quish Philippines.
Washington, May 19.—Only a
brief time was devoted by the
senate today to consideration of
the Philippine government bill.
Mr. Dolliver of Iowa support-
ed the bill, which he said was
one of the most important pieces
of constructive legislation pre-
sented since tho civil war. He
arraigned the Democratic minor-
ity for its opposition to the mea
sure. He insisted that the Phil-
ippine insurrection, as a military
proposition, was a thing of the
past, and declared that in no
circumstances would the United
States relinquish the Philippines.
The charge had been made, he
said, that the government had
entered upon a wicked conspir-
acy against 10,000,000 people.
He had listened to the tirade
through which an attempt had
been made to impeach the mo-
tives of this government. He
was satisfied that tho party in
power could make its way thro
this volcano of malevolence and
malice without harm to it.
Mr. Dolliver presented a beau-
tiful tribute to President McKin-
ley and his policy in the Philip-
pines, saying that in McKinley's
policy there was not a note of
greed or covetousness. He (Dol-
liver) had found it difficult as he
had heard the terms "thieves,"
"murderers," "plunderers,"and
"carpet baggers," flung reck-
lessly from the lips of democrat-
ic statesmen to determine just
where he was, whether he really
was in the senate of the United
States. McKinley had put the
seal of his approval on the hold-
ing of the Philippines by the
United States in trust for their
inhabitants. And, he said, the
action of McKinley was pregnant
with greatness and humanity,
lie said the Philippine insurrec-
tion as a millitary proposition
was a thing of the past.
Iu conclusion Mr.Dollivor said:
"The congress of the United
States is more likely to code
back the valley of the Mississippi
to the lawful heirs of Napoleon
the Great, than to leave the Phil-
ippine archipelago to become the
prey of anarchy or the prize of
some European power."

"The Boys."
Oklahoma City, O. T.May 10.-
There is confusion and conster-
nation in the Democratic camp
since the Hill Cross ratification
meeting on Saturday. The meet-
ing was not what the Democrats
thought it would be. The en-
t! jsiasin which is usually preva-
lent at such times was missing.
Not a flag or piece of bunting
was displayed. The reception
coin 111 ittees were not working;
neither did Hill Cross have head-
quarters or rooms where lie
could meet the men who are try-
ing to push him to the front in
the campaign.
So sore were the Comanche
and Washita county delegations
when they arrived here in their
special cars, decorated with ban-
ners and bunting, because they
were not met by a reception com-
mittee, as expected, but allowed
to wander around town, that
they wanted to take the next
train home and not wait for the
ceremonies of the day. There
was absolutely nothing of a pro-l
gram prepared for the morning.
In the afternoon, tho men with
tho long speeches were given an
opportunity to unload at the
opera house, but even this was
not satisfactory.
When the Guthrie delegation
came in 011 the afternoon train,
Bill Cross met Horace Hagan and
Frank Greer with their party of
ladies and it is said that I10 de-
voted the afternoon to them.
Greer came here as a spectator
and Hagan assumed to be in
charge of the Logan county dele
gation. Cross, instead of meet-
ing the members of the various
delegations, was not to bo found
until the train left for tho north
at 12 o'clock. Regardless of the
fact that the territorial commit-
tee held an important meeting,
Cross was not there. His cam-
paign manager, C. Porter John-
son, had a hard time 111 trying to
explain why Cross was not pres-
ent at the committee's delibera-
tions. Tho members of the com-
mittee waited for Cross until
midnight. After tho train left
for Guthrie, and Cross had said
farewell to Hagan and Greer's
party, several members of the
territorial committee called 011
Cross,stating that they had been
trying to see him since early in
the afternoon, and that one of
the first things they wanted to
state to liiin was that Horace
Hagan and Frank Greer did not
constitute the democratic party
of the territory, and that if he
wanted to be elected to congress,
he would have to pay attention to
politics and let society alone at
such a time.
Many men who paid out their
hard money to come here to see
that Bill Cross had tho right
kind of a send off were sorely
disappointed in the nominee.
They never had an opportunity
to shake hands with him. It is
conceded by democrats in this
city, that Cross had an opportu-
nity to make himself solid with
tho democrats who came hare
from tho outside counties, but
that he did not take advantage
of it.
Predictions are being freely
made, that if Cross pursues his
present tactics, any man nomi-
nated 011 the Republican ticket
will have little trouble in winning
out over him at the election next
November.
As a speech maker, Cross is
not a success. When he attemp-
ted to talk, he fumbled, and what
ho did say did not take with the
men present. They were all
sore and did not care who knew
it. If Cross makes a hot cam
paign, he and his managers will
have to have a meeting might3'
