New Ulm review., 1903-05-27
Memorial Day.

! e saturday In A. accordance Ss WITH a
custom that has grown out Of the re-
suit Of the civil war, the graves of the
soldiers and sailors wherever they can
be found will be decorated with
flowers. There is a lesson in the
observance of this day@that should i'm
press itself on minds Of every Ameri-
can citizen and ofthe youth Of the land,
which is that of the sacrifice of human
life for the purpose of maintaining
principle. Mankind in all ages has
compelled a'sacrifice. Heathenism, for
the propitiation Of an evil spirit and
for other purposes to us equally
absurd, but civilization has found that
the god of principle is the only god
that demands a human sacrifice, and
on that altar thousands are laid, and
the fires of contention lick up the
toblation that is placed thereon and the
living applaud, feeling that to conquer
is heroism and he is hero who laws
himself on the funeral pier of patriotic
principle. And SO it will ever be until
that time when war shall cease because
there shall be none to bear arms when
civilization learns that war is barbar-
ism, and the nations become common
brotherhood. "
The corner stone of all success is am
bition, and ambition is limited only by
human desire and human desire is
curbed only by force or contentment.
and the graves of the 100000 men who
were sent out of this life at time when
they were best able to be of service to
themselves and their country are mute
appeals to the people to forget the am
bition that brings sorrowto homes and
drives us farther from the day of uni
versal peace. To be is better far than
not to be, though most mems lives may
seem a tragedy and it is better to be
among the living struggling through
the campaigns against cold and
austere world, alone, decorated only
with the bitter-sweet of toll, than to
lie beneath the marble slabs of a
national cemetery. decorated with the
garlands of roses and myrtle that re-
turn their perfume only to those who

The dead who have died in the cause
OF patriotism have not died in vain if
they teach the lesson of universal
brotherhood, and their voices cry out
from their graves, that the time has
come for nations to teach peace and
not war, and as each year the multi
uuaes lay their tribute On the graves let
thls sentiment find lodgment in the
hearts of all.
