Interpretations and extravaganza,
Governor Dockery's attitude towards
the Assembly will afford no little
qualification to the States people, par
tlcularly at a time when universal at
tention is drawn TO the conspicuous
misfeasance and malfeasance which
characterized the session. The execu
tive's regular message and divers les

disclose an upright, frank, sane and
conservative stand upon all matters
involved. His wise exercise of the We
to power especially commends his
course to approval. The application
of an inhexible economy has constitut
ed check upon loose extravaganza
amounting almost to prodigality In
some instances, prevented many i'm
proper expenditures and saved the
treasury from what might have beer
a degree Of decentralization. The execu

legislative, in which character it i'm
poses an important burden and re

purely administrative functions arr

to the establishment of which they
were willing TO endure danger. disease,
nd even death. The large number
before me proclaims that the day and
the purpose of our assembling have
made deep impression.
How like an individual nation is !
1t has parentage and granHparentage /;
it bears the fortunes and misfortunes
of heredity. 1t is born, it grows, it
enjoys manhood, suffers disease and
old age and may we not say develops
into glorious immortality. The
american people in most respects is
exceedingly fortunate in its ancestry.
1t comes from a virile old Anglo
Saxon stock that is full of honorable
traditions. We rejoice in our parent
age and we deem it great thing for a
nation in all the periods of its for
tunes, to be able to look back with
pride to it's race of founders and prin-
ciples of institution. That happiness.
| that pride is ours. Our past with it's
great eras-that of settlement, that of
| Independence, that of national develop
ment-should cause the spontaneous
evolution, as from q germ, of wise,
moral and glowing future. Those
heroic men and women of the past
should not look down upon dwindled
posterity. The broad foundation OF
national character, which they sank
below frost and sand should bear up
something permanent and enduring
In 1776 this nation was born amid
the agony and suffering of separation
from the mother country. Before
this infant country could even stand
alone it must receive the aid and sue
cor of France. 1t was for time as
weak and purposeless in its activities
as any weak and immature individual.
After it became able to support itself
its fate was watched with interest and
anxiety by the family of nations.
During the critical period of youth il
was continually in danger of losing
it's small amount of national vitality.
AS iJ advanced in age and experience,
it came to have one controlling aim,
"Unity of purpose" among all its
members began TO dominate its social
mind and the Constitution became its
rule of conduct. In time this puny
sick, and wavering boyish nation be,
came possessed of strength that
enabled it to take its place as vigorous
youth among the nations of the world

PATRIOTS REMEMBERED
BY IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL SERVICE
Citizens of DecOrah Honor the Memory of
the Boys in Blue on Memorial Day
With Appropriate Exercises and
Imposing Procession.

Memorial Day, the day ON which
the American people every year as
semble to honor and revere the memory
of those who in time of the country IS
peril went forth to battle for universal
freedom and liberty, was fittingly
observed in Decorah on Saturday with
ceremonies appropriate to the occasion.
At ten O'Clock the procession formed

gram as published, which included
the Decorah City band, the veteran
members of Col. Hughes Post, No.

l.. Coffeen, the officers and members
of the Womans Relief Corps, disabled
veterans and citizens in CARRIAGES, and
moved west and south to Main street,
thence east to Washington street,
thence north to Water street, and
thence to the Grand opera house,
where, on account of the inclemency
of the weather, the exercises were held.
The opera house had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion, and was
filed with citizens. On the stage sat
the ministers of the city, the speaker,
and the members of the Post, Relief
Corps and Sons of Veterans.
The exercises opened with music by
the Decorah City band, followed by
prayer by Rev. DR.. Willett, and a
selection by male quartette consist
ing of Messrs. Hill, Ingvolstad, Riley
and Adams. The General Orders were
read by Commander l.. L. Couse,
