different epochs of our national life.
How OH July 4, 1875, the fathers Of the
republic declared their independence of
all foreign powers. In 1888 they formed
that magnificent constitution which is
today with its ID amendments intact
and respected. He showed how neces.
sary such an agreement was, in order
that the common defense might be made
and the common welfare promoted. But
with the constitution slavery was firmly
established which after nearly a century
of existence threatened the dissolution
of the union. Abraham Lincoln-the
great central figure of the civil war
yes, more than that, the central figure
of modern American history-called for
troops to defend the constitution. That
call was promptly responded to by
thousands of men willing to fight for the
flag and demonstrate that this union
was indivisible. There were four long
years of war. Many died in battle and
in camp and those who returned home
Were shattered by disease and weakness
incurred in long marches and amid dire
privations.
The true purpopose of Memorial day
is to celebrate and commemorate the
events of those sad but glorious days, to
bow down and thank God that today
this people have a government and to
respect the memory of those men.
The high wind which prevailed made
it difficult for the speaker to be heard
any distance and he referred to it at this
point, saying 1.-THE elements are
against me and in your favor. 1t is little
use trying to compete with a Nebraska
zephyrs." Continuing, Judge Robert
son said that Decoration day was a day
not to be desecrated by sports like base
ball or horse racing, but a holy day
the funeral day of the nation.
Up to Is months ago Mason and Dix
on's line divided this country in senti.
ment. But the Maine was blown up,
war was declared with Spain. and the
old confederate flag was laid aside and
north and south came together under
n flag, because they loved a common
country.
To-day, that flag floats over Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hlwaii and the Philippines.

Dewey over those eastern islands, if we

a march through some of the principal
streets, in the shade of the beautiful
trees which rear themselves heavenward
the exercises of the day were continued
Seats had been arranged and a plat.
form erected and here a large crowd as.
sembled. The place was appropriate to
the occasion. The wind blew a requiem
through the branches of the trees as il
in sympathy with the day and its mem.
cries. The audience was called to order
by Post Commander Roberts and a song
was sang, echoing the spirit of unity
which now prevails throughout the land
among "the boys who marched with
Sherman and the boys who fought with
Lee" who are now growing old to-
gether. The choir which sang several
admirable selections, was a double quar-.
tet. 1t was made up of Mrs. Eaton and
Mrs. Slawson, sopranos Miss Harvey
and Mrs. Hoffman, altos Messrs. Eaton
and Vaught, tenors Messrs. Thompson,
Lamont and Cow, bassos.
w. II. Widaman then made the an
nouncement that the fire department
had left the grounds, not through any
discourtesy to those who were to take
part in the exercises, but that they
might hasten back to the city, the high
wind prevailing making it imperative
that they should be ready to meet any
emergency, in case of fire, promptly.
MIR. Widaman then read general orders
for Memorial day and Lincoln's Gettys.
burg address. Another song was sung
and Rev. G. H. Main invoked the Divine
blessing on.the day and its memories as
we'll as upon the larger America, which
is enjoyed today, earnestly pleading
that every citizen might be inspired by
this occasion to do present duty and
meet increased responsibility. He prayed
not only:forIthe veterans in their de-
Ginning years that they might be years
of comfort and peace, but also for the
soldiers in active service in the far off
Philippines that they might literate q
benighted people and that war should
soon close.
Hon. w. NJ. Robertson was then in.
troduced as the orator of the day, The
speaker emphasized the respect that was
due TO the.children and prefaced his re.
marks by stating that it was his hope
that what he should say, would be said
so plainly as to meet with their approval
and understanding, He referred 10 the
