I'ltl 1CI.AMATION.
Forty-three years have passed since
the roar of Sumpter's guns proclaimed
to a startled nation the tidings of a
frightful war. Since mat time great
changes have taken place on the
county. The American idea of civ-
ilization and unnivcrsal liberty lias
been promoted and expanded, and to-
day reaches from ocean to ocean and
from lake to gulf. The greatest and
best nation tli.it tlie world has ever
known is the one over which floats the
Star Spatigler Banner of our republic.
While we fondly extol the Spartan-
like endurance and heroic achieve-
ments of Hie men who wrested the
land from European tyranny and made
possible our nat ion, as a people we
should not, will not, and cannot for-
get the valorous deeds and patriotic
devotion of the men who, at a later
crises offered their lives to save it.
Decoration day! A day on which
all t he people should bow at the shrine
of liberty. A day of Mowers, a day
which recalls sad but hallowed mem-
ories. In the exercises of this day of
patriot ic devotion there is no exulta-
tion over the vanquished, nor vain-
glorious boasts on the part of the vic-
tor. The sentiment ol the day is
"Peace on earth," not war, love and
not hatred, good will and not malice.
True patriotism never forgets to
honor and cherish the memory of
lhose who offered their lives for iheir
country. The soldier or the union is
entitled to the a place in the nation's
heart. Therefore, 1 respectfully re-
commend that the thirtieth day of
May, nineteen hundred and four, be
observed in a patriotic manner as es-
tablished by law and custom.
Let every loyal citizens lay aside the
daily persuits of lite and join with the
Grand Army of the Republic in pay-
ing to our soldiers and sailors a trib-
ute of love and honor, and in perpet-
uating the memnry or the nation's
dead.
Place tlowers upon the graves or tlie
nation's patriots, who upon land and
sea have upheld the glory or our flag.
Remember the soidier of the great
civil war. Forget not the soldier of
the Spanish-American war.
Ii isalso recommended that flowers
be strewn upon the grave of departed
friends. The people will be made bet-
ter by such manifestations of love and
tenderness.
Given under my band and the great
seal of the territory or Oklahoma at
the city of Guthrie, this twelfth day
of May, nineteen hundred and four.
