ONE CENT.

many hearts. The bunting with winch Won
have covered your walls, these patriotic
inscriptions, must go down and the wa9e
and trade be resumed again. Here may [
not ask you TO carry those inscriptions that
now hang ON the walls into your homes, into
the schools OF your city, into all your great
institutions where children are gathered, and
teach them that the eye Of the young
aud old should look upon that Gag as
one Of the familiar glores Of every
American. Have we not learned that
neither stocks and bonds or land
is our country 10 Is spiritual thought that
is in our minds-it is the flag and what it3
stands for; It is the flreside and the home; its

Of the dag Of martyrs TO liberty II is ths
graveyards into which n common country
has gathered the unconscious deeds Of those
who died that the thing might live which
we love and call our country, rather than
as-ythng which can be touched or seen.
Lot me add a thought due TO our country's
future. Perhaps never have we been 80 wel 2
equipped for war upon land as now, and we
have never seen the time when our people
were more smitten with the love Of peace
To elevate he morals Of our people, 20 hold
up the law as that sacred thing which, lixe
the ark Of God of old, may not be touched
by rreverent hands, but frowns upon any
attempt to dethrone its supremacy; to unite
our people In all tnat makes home comforta-
BILE rs well as TO give our energies in the di-
rection Of material advancement; this service
may we render. And out Of this great demon-
stration let no draw lessons inspire us to
conseerate ourselves anew 20 this love and
service OF our country. [Great applause.l

Chief Justice Fuller, after a brief but COM
prehensiye analysis Of the constitution, con-
cluded by saying. eThis matchless instru-
ment vindcates It's title TO immortality. The
conservative evolution that characterized it
has enabled It 10 pass the century since its
birth with It's machinery, no cog or wheel
displaced, still noiselessy and easily workingf
to receive direct amendment, to absorb the
results Of frequent construction, and to
emerge from the civil war, drawing new
vigor from the strain 10 which IL had been
subjected
Senator Daniels Remarks.
Senator Daniels remarks were an analysis
Of the senate's position in the framework OF
government, and he held that, as the repre-
