A Tribute to Soldiers.

War is no longer the act of the despot,
but OF the people. 1t is not SO dreadful
to the popular mind as many would have
| US believe. Ruskin claims that 1t uplifts
the race and fires it with ambition. With
out asserting to that view, still say that
| under present condition wars come and are
bound to come. l should rejoice to see
the causes OF war cease. and arbitration
one Of the great facts of modern civiliza-
ton. But war has played an important
part in history. Count the Presidents who
have been soldiers from the Father Of His
Country to the statesman who now occu-
pies the White House. Four times has
this nation been called to war. and each
time its armies have come from the walks
| Of private life. and when victory was won
and peace declared they have melted into
the communities from whence they came
as the religious congregation on Sunday
morning. No less than three of our JUS
tees of the Supreme Court have been
soldiers. America has not produced q SOL
der who, upon proper occasion. could not
subordinate the martial TO the civil spirit
Honor. l gay, to the American soldier
from the minute men of Lexington 10 the
splendid fellows now unfolding the flag in
far-of Luzon- To the living honor, and
to the dead the tribute of flowers
Tomorrow as nation we shall pay l.
butte to the memory of the American SOL
Gier. There are new made graves to be
decorated, but whether they are newly
made or covered with the sod of thirty
years. they shall all be remembered as men
who bravery bore the brunt of battle to up
hold the nation and the dignity of law
which it represents. Hail to the spirit Of
the law"
