Never, perhaps, has Memorial Day
been more generally or more rever-
emily celebrated than 1t was this
year. The war with Spain kir.
mish though 1t was, 80 far as actual
military operations were concerned
has given a newer and broader sig.
niflcance to the day. II has left the
country with better and loftier ma.
tional spirit than was ever before
known. Whatever trace OF section.
alism remained has been obliterated.
Men of the North and men of the
South have again fought shoulder
to shoulder, died side by side, and
blended their blood In a common
stream, and united country has
paid tribute to their memory while
1t honored the memory of other mer
who, whatever the side on which
they fought, went down into the
valley of the shadow of death with
that courage and fearlessness that
almost sanctify human strife. Il
the war with Spain had no Other
good results, IL demonstrated tina,
the one flag is really one flag; tina,
patriotism is no longer sectional, ant
that the sons of the North ant
South united In q common cause car
light as their fathers fought 10 tn.

Some of the criticism Of the Pres

ignorance. No position is exempted
from the rules that the experience of

the rules. Most of the exceptions
probably between four and five
