thought that eternal vigilance must still De
the price OF continued liberty!
Two monuments are before me-one on Ar
lington heights, near the very spot on which
was introduced the young soldier from ne"
York. Some of you have doubtless stooo pc
side it. In part its legend reads: Beneath
this stone repose the bones of two thousana
one hundred and eleven unknown soldiers.
Remember that unknown" You build your
monument as well for them! In one grave
alone! Standing them side by side within
touch of hands, and you must march two ana
two-sevenths miles in passing them
Yes you build for them, for from Minnesota
there must be some who sleep In this, or In
the thousands of nameless graves that dot
our national cemeteries.
What thoughts should enter around such
sacrifical deaths?
Green be the graves where such heroes lie
buried.
Shroudless and nameless they sank 10 tnelr
rest.
All would 1t not seem that they had for
ever dedicated consecrated, hallowed and
sanctified every foot of this blessed land of
ours3
But this other. this second monument, you
have not so far to go to find 1t; forever to the
dishonor and disgrace, SO long as 1t shall be
permitted to stand, Chicago must claim 1t
and be it's sponsor.
When and how were It's foundations laid?
May T. 1886, when anarchy threw the bomb
that killed seven and wounded ffty-four of
icers of the law in its execution. We would
gladly put away the words of these executed
anarchists but we may not and for reasons
later on.

Your time and mine is too precious to take
