turns to softness as years pass. The
memoir of strife Is obscured by The
passage of years. The republic has adj
vanced in wealth, in population and in
the estimate which foreign nations
place upon it.
The north has learned the lesson that
the south believed as honestly In it's po-
iittcal opinions as it held to it's own.
The south has learned the double les
son that the north was equally honest
IN It's views, and that it is better and
FAR better h a we shall be one nation
one and in~separable, now and forever.
In the years since the war it has re-
allied what would have been the cost
OF a divided union-the separation of 1t
into a number of smaller nations. each
maintaining as a necessity of defense,
q standing army at great expense. And
II re1olces that this nation has escaped
the conditions which exist in Europe.
1t has seen the advancing glories Of
the republic, and has come to a full
and ~endearing love for it and rejoices
That 1T forms an integral part of it.
The union in name and in fact was
confirmed by the results of the civil
war. It might have been necessary to
maintain this by force of arms, but,
happily, all this danger has passed be-
cause Of the upgrowtl ofcommoninter-
ests between the sections, and a for
Settlng OF the past II the building UP
of a common law for this union.
For the reasons named the Decora-
ton day Of this year should be and
doubtless will be one Of the most prec-
1ous of any that has gone before. It is
more nearly than ever before a day for
the placing. of flowers upon the graves
Of all soldiers who died in the civil
War--the gray as we'll as the blue.
our late lamented president outlined
this when he expressed himself as COM
mitted to the nations caring for the
dead of both armies. But recently an
effort a been made in congress to
pension the soldiers of the south as we'll
as Of the north.
That country only is fixed upon Sc
cure foundation in which all Of its peo-
pie are united In love for its principles.
This union of hearts as we'll as of
hands having been effected, Decoration
day becomes truly e. national holiday,
bounded by no state or no section, but
commemorated from Maine to Florida,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This
is fulfllment Of the hope of fathers OF
the country n gives confirmation of
the promise Of a nation that shall not
perish from the face Of the earth for
ever. WILLIAM ROSSER COBBE.

His voice faltered and he held out
his hand. Everybody crowded around
and for a long time he and his sister
stood in the midst, receiving congrat-
ulations of the people.
Extraordinarily! They were coming
back from the cemetery, not with slow
marching step, but on a healthy
double-quick. The word had spread
like wildfre that something had hap
pened In front of the Lynch resi-
dence. And the sight of the crowd
only served to augment the story.
Rub-a-dub-the crowd gave way

DECORATION DAY.

Prejudice disappears with time as
snow before the mounting sun of
spring. One Of the brightest thoughts
Of the future glories Of this republic
is the c~oncensus Of he American mind
that whether one fought for the blue
or the gray, he vas honest in his views
and that each was entitled t. equal
credit.
The question at issue was one thatthe
illustrlous fathers Of the republic
Washington, Hamilton, jefferson, Mad
ison and other worthies-could not de-
termine, and they relegated the task
to some coming generation. 1t was so
momentous that men like Clay, Web
ster, Hayne, Jackson and other equal
ly distinguished statesmen passed it
along through compromises Of various
kinds, but all knew that when the time
came for determination 1t must be by
arbitrament OF the sWord-that no in
telligence of man could settle it by
peaceful methods.
In 1861 the crisis, which Washington
foresaw, and which other fathers saw,
was reached. There Yves no surprise
in 1t. The question was n merely of
time. Postponements and compromises
We're no longer of any effect. The diff
ferences could only be settled in one
way.
The determination of the matter,
the heroism displayed in the number
less battles Of the next few a
the fearful loss of life, the tremen-
dous financial cost the bitterness which
followed are matters of history. All
of these We're natural results of such a
bitter struggle.
It was difficult to understand when
the smoke Of the last battle had
cleared away and the desolation that
had been wrought by the war was
clearly seen, how time could efface the
many scars then made. There were
ruins of houses, broken homes, desc
late hearts. w~tdowhood, orphanage,
penury here and there, all of which in
cited and promoted a prejudice and a
bitterness. If not hate, which would
survive the life Of the republic.
The bitterness of bereavement though.

The largest percentage OF m~ortgaged

states. ranging from 622 per cent. in New

number Of mortgaged homes are found in

the very low percentage 10 due to the In
ability OF the Indians to sign mortgages.
The percentage OF mortgaged homes,

of poverty OF lack OF prosperity, because
largest percentages are sometimes
found In the most prosperous manufac-
turing districts, where wage-earners buy
sots and build cottages on the installment

the highest percentages of homes mort
