Gotebo, Oklahoma, Friday, May 27, 1904.
Number 42.
A Proclamation.
Forty-three years have
passed by since the roar of
Sumpter's guns proclaimed
to a startled nation the tidings
of a frighrful war. Since
that time great changes have
taken place in the affairs of
our country. The American
idea of civilization and uni-
versal liberty has been pro-
moted and expanded, and to-
day reaches from ocean to
ocean and from lake to gulf.
The greatest and best nation
that the world has ever
known is the one over which
iloats the star spangled ban-
ner of our republic.
While we fondly extol the
Spartan-like endurance and
heroic achievements of the
men who wrested the land
from European tyranny and
made possible our nation, as
a people we should not, will
not and can not forget the
valorous deeds and patriotic
devotion of the men who, at
a later crisis offered their
lives to save it.
Decoration Day! A day
on which all the people should
bow at the shrine of Liberty.
A day of flowers, A day
which recalls sad but hallow-
ed memories. In the exer-
cises of this day of patriotic
devotion there is no exulta-
tion uver the vanquished, nor
vainglorious boasts on the
part of the victor. The sen-
timent of the day is ''Peace
on Earth," not war; love and
not hatred, good will and not
malice.
True patriotism never for-
gets to honor and cherish the
memory of those who offered
their lives for their country.
The soldier of the Union is
entitled to a place in the Na-
tion's heart.
Therefore I respectfully
recommend that the Thirtieth
Day of May, Nineteen Hun-
dred and Four be observed in
a patriotic manner as estab-
lished by law and custom.
Let every loyal citizen lay
aside the daily pursuits of life
and join with the Grand Army
of the Republic in paying to
our soldiers and sailors a tri-
bute of love and honor, and
in perpetuating the memory
of the Nation's dead.
Place flowers upon the
graves of the Nation's patri-
ots, who upon land and sea
have upheld the glory of our
flag. Remember the soldier
of the great Civil war. For-
get not the soldier of the
Spanish-American war.
cf Guthrie, this Twelfth day
of May, Nineteen Hundred
and Four.
T. B. FERGUSON,
Governor.
By the Governor:
William Grimes,
Sec. of Territory.
Shall We Celebrate?
Our town is nearly three
years old and yet we never
had a celebration of any kind.
Would it not be a good plan
to celebrate the 4th of July
and thus keep the people at
home instead of sending them
to neighboring towns to spend
I their money ? A few attrac-
