The effort of the Globe Democrat
to make it appear that the Missouri
state treasury is bankrupt is simply
part Of the constant purpose of
that lying journal to libel it's own
state. The Globe Democrat knows
the Missouri state treasury was
never in better condition than at
the present and that the refusal of
the treasurer to pay the accounts of
members and employees of the gen.
eral assembly ID due to the failure
OF the Legislature to appropriate the
necessary funds, and net from the
lack OF means 10 meet the appro.
pristion. The 6lsbs Democrat never
fails to SANDER Missouri. In its
ribald rawlings it dsscends to the
foulness of the fisher woman and
adopts with evident relish the chief
characteristic of Ananias Mexico

The social system in which We

relentless system of economic dig

"That capital from which most Of Us

democratic, inhuman and athelstlc
of all the heather divinities. 1t
breeds children only to devour the
bodies of some ard the souls of
others, end to put out the spiritual
eyesight of the rest. In spite of
the historic campaigns for liberty, in
spite of the achievements of Chris
tianity, there has never been time
since Adam was born when the indI-
vidual counted for so little or availed
so little as to day.
"Our present economic system
cries to heaven for rectifcation. 1t
stultities human nature. It nullifies
the purposes of God.
There seems to be no practical
alternative between, on the one hand,
swelling the clamor of wild
and incoherent revolt, and, on
the other hand, giving ones moral
support to conservatism, most falsely
and fatally so-called, which intensi
fies the evils by denying that they
exist.

ARLINGTON CEREMONIES.
New Graves Added to the Old and All
Decorated.

Arlington National cemetery was, as
usual, the scene of the most imposing cere-
monies. In the an9phitheater gathered an
assemblage of patriotic men and women,
where they listened to an Oratcrical setting
of the valor and heroism of those lying
buried in the consecrated ground of the
Virginia metropolis. Here gathered
also distinguished party of guests who
occupied seats on the platform. The naval
features of the services at Arlington were
more interesting this year than ever before.
They Were held in front of the Lee mansion
and attracted a large proportion OF the
crowd that journeyed to the cemetery.
Secretary Alger was the first of the Off
cial guests TO arrive. He drove out accom-
panied by Mrs. Alger and they were shown
to front seats on the platform. His appear

the patriots of 1915 entered upon the revo-
lutionary struggle they had no intention of
severing their political relations with
Great Britain. They had regarded her
their mother country and We're proud of
her greatness and felt secure in the protec
ton her power afforded; but when that
power was employed to Cypress them, and
when they had pleaded earnestly and wait
ed long for redress which did not come, as
a last resort they appealed to arms: but. so
far as we know, they had no desire to set
up a separate and independent government.
That was a significant circumstance when
John Paul Jones ran up the first banner
that was ever raised over the deck of an
American war vessel, with the emblem Of
a rattlesnake and the inscription. DO not

they did strike quick and telling blows

Arlington Cemetery.
The naval feature of the Arlington SER
vices was very interesting. The list of
speakers included Senator Thurston of Ne
braska, Henry NJ. Hoyt, assistant attorney
general; Rev. Frank Bristol of the Metro
politan NJ E. Church, and DR.. W. D.
Mabry The gathering at these services in
front of the Lee mansion was presided over
by Col. VIM H. Michael. chief clerk of
the State Department. A section of the
Marine Band under the second leader, Mr.
Walter Smith, was stationed near at hand
and rendered appropriate music. Special
STANDS had been erected and decorated with
American flags and bunting. Prominent
among the patriotic embellishments of the
vicinity were pictures of Admiral Porter
Admiral Dewey, Rear Admiral Sampson
and Naval Constructor Hobson of the Mer-
rimac.
The program was opened with a rendition
of Nearer, My God, to Thee" the inaugu-
ration of the ceremonies closely following
the national salute fired at noon. DR..

Navy In the Revolution.
The naval history of the country was
next taken up, the first speaker being Dr.
W. D. Mabry who spoke of the United
States Navy in the Revolution"
DIR. Mabry said: In every war upon
which the American people have entered
they have accomplished more than they
set out to do ] might cite illustrations of
this fact in our war with England, 1SI2-14:
in our war with Mexico, 1S46-4S; in our civil
war, from 1S61-65. and in our recent war
with Spain: but in doing l should en-
croach upon the subjects assigned /, to the
speakers who are to follow me- No other
war, however, upon which we have ever
engaged more strikingly illustrates this
truth than the revolutionary war. When

enough to meet the needs of Memorial day
service at Arlington. Another pavilion las
been proposed. Plans for it have been pre-
pared. and 1t is hoped that by another year
it Will have been built, and thus render
this improvised and insufficient accommo
dation unnecessary.
This is the third special service held at
Arlington in memory of our sailor and ma
rine dead. The interest in it has increased
from year to year. Today We have for you
a most interesting program. Each period
of our uaVys activity will he touched upon
separately by four distinguished orators.
1t will be impossible for the speakers to do
more than simply remind you of the great
service rendered by the navy and marine
corps during the war crisis in our beloved
country's history. Details are necessarily
excluded from a twenty minutes address.
The navyS part in our war with Mexico
was inconsderable that this period was
left unassigned Yet it must not be under
stood that the navy rendered no service in
this war The faVorite scheme of our gov
eminent during this war was to conduct an
expedition against the enemys capital by
way of Vera Cruz.
Entrusted to Gen. scott.
THE first step in carrying out the
scheme was the reduction of this strongly
fortified city. This important duty was in
trusted to Gen. Winfield Scott His army
of l. 600 men was transported on board the
squadron Of Commodore Conner. The city
was invested under heavy fire from the
city, and when the place was summoned to
surrender, Governor Morales replied that
rather than do so he would bury himself
beneath the citys ruins.
"A siege was at once begun, in which the
smaller vessels of the navy took part Gen.
eral Scott says, The smaller vessels of the
American fleet took up a position close to
the shore, and added their fire to that of
the land forces, with such effect that
they did material injury to the fortifica-
tons, etc"
Colonel Michael dwelt upon several of the
more important naval incidents of the Mex
lean war closing by saying:
But there were other wars in which the
American navy had a chance to distinguish
itself, of which we shall hear presently, and

chance that it failed to improve; that no
navy of the world has such an unbroken

viction came to their sensitive and expan-
sive souls that wisdom greater and a
power mightier than theirs was overruling
in their affairs, and that a destiny which
no man-no men--controlled called them to
the establishment of a free and independent
government. where all who should seek its
protection and submit to its laws should
enjoy, unmoested, the inalienable rights
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness
First American Navy.
THE names of these thirteen vessels,
composing the first American navy, were
the Hancock, Randolph, Raleigh, Warren,
Congress, Washington, Effingham, Provi-
dence, Trumbull, Virginia, Boston, Della
ware and the Montgomery. And, think of
1t, these thirteen vessels actually cost $780,
6G666! These were increased to twenty
five vessels by the Fourth of July, 177s.
Think of the courage, the sublime faith of
the heros of 70. Great Britain had at that
time III war vessels, carrying 3,Tl4 guns,
of which 70 men-of-war carrying over 1000
colonies blockading their ports and de-
stroying their commerce, and yet with
but twenty-five vessels, only six of which
were built for purposes of war, carrying
only 422 guns, the American Congress at
Philadelphia had the courage and the
sublime faith to give utterance to the i'm
mortal Declaration of Independence, and
to pledge to its support their lives their
property and their sacred honor The
struggle went on, and in two years our
title navy was reduced by the exigencies of
war to ii vessels, carrying $50 guns, while
the English vessels on our coast numbered
50, with 2,516 guns.
Nevertheless, the results were simply
amazing. During the year 1777 that little
American navy captured 467 British YES

all these captures were of more OF less i'm
portance some of them seemed really prov

Colonel Michael, upon assuming charge
said
THE number of patriotic people who
come to Arlington each year to pay tribute
to the memory of our soldier, sailor and

Its sacred associations, is no longer large
