Las Vegas, N M. June 25.-(Special Correspondence of The RepubIcan.)- A new gospel was promulgated at the first reunion of Roosevelt's Rough Riders at Las Vegas. It was the gos- pei of common loyalty in the inter- est of humanity and shared in by rich and poor alike, by dude and bronco-buster, by college-b bred man and ranchman. Lafe Young, owner Of the Iowa state capital, Des Moines, gave expression to this thought in an impromptu speech at the Duncan op- CT ahouse Sunday afternoon.
 But three new ideas,' he sad, "have been advanced in the last third of century. Henry w. Grady found the way by which the confederates could weep for their dead and glory in their achieve country. Booker T. Washington showed how the white and black races could live in amity by each working for the highest personal good and the largest race development. Col Roose- welt demonstrated the possibility of even-handed justice to all, rich and poor alike, without partiality or prejudice. These three new gospels could and should be written beneath the dying words of the immortal Grant: Let us have peace.' On the plains of Cuba, where I saw the sons of Union veterans marching beneath the flag which their fathers died to save; and the sons of confederates, clothed in the same uniform, bearing the same arms and marching under the same flag; and the sons of former slaves, accoutred and armed like the others, with the same flag above them and the same purpose in their hearts: and one hundred native born, full- blooded Indians serving in the same lines and aiding the same cause-when saw these, I made a VOW to high heaven never to be a partisan again; that henceforth and forever all Amer jeans should look alike to me. God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, and of Cromwell and of Milton, of Wash ington and Lincoln, guard, guide, pro- tect and keep our great American re- public,''
 The memorial sermon was preached by Parson Tom Uzze1l of Denver. His text was I Samuel, xxx. 34: "As his part is that goeth down to battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff.''
 Parson Uzzell sad, among other things: ''The impression is abroad that only those who volunteer and march away to war under the flag are patriotic. But all men cannot go to war. Col. Roosevelt says: The diff ficIlty in organizing was not in select ing, but in rejecting men. Within a day or two after it was announced that we were to raise a regiment we were literally deluged with applica- tions from every quarter of the Union. Without the slightest trouble as far as we went we could have raised a brigade or even a division. But there was no room. Men wept wher refused the privilege of enlist ng.'
 ''The impression is abroad that among the enlisted men only those who actually got into an engagement are entitled to praise and the name ct ! hero. Not every enlisted man can get into the firing line. Some must do garrison duty, as, for example, the
 
 1ital corps, those who tarry behind to are for the ammunition. to groom he horses, what part of the spells be- ongs to them?
 ''The record of the Rough Riders is he most remarkable one in the annals If military warfare. According to Col. Roosevelt himself: Tn less than sixty .anized, armed, equipped, drilled, mounted, kept for fortnight on trans orts, and put through two victorious aggressive fights in very difficult ountry, the loss in killed and wound d amounting to a quarter of those ngaged This is record which it is lot easy to match in the history of olunteer organizations. The loss was ut small as compared to that which efell hundreds of regiments in some f the great battles of the later years f the civil war. but it may be doubted rhetner there was any regiment which lade such record during the first 1onths of any of our wars
