MAN MONUMENT TO BE UNVEILED AT WASHINGTON TO-DAY

( in securing the erection of this statue
to General Sherman.
The living can best show their re-
spect for the memory of the great
dead by the way in which they take
to heart and act upon the lessons
taught by the lives which made these
dead men great. Our homage today
to the memory Of Sherman comes
from the depths of our being. We
would be unworthy citizens did we
not feel profound gratitude toward
him, and those like him and under
him, who, when the country called
in her dire need, sprang forward with
such gallant eagerness to answer that
call. Their blood and their toll, their
endurance and patriotism, have made
us and all who come after us forever
their debtors They left us not mere
ly reunited country, but country
incalculably greater because of its
rich heritage in the deeds which thus
left it reunited. AS a nation we are
the greater, not only for the valor and
devotion to duty displayed by the men
in blue, who won in the great strug-
gle for the union, but also for the
valor and the loyalty toward what
thew regarded as right Of the men IN
gray; for this war, thrice fortunate
above all other recent wars In lts
outcome, left to all of us the right or
brotherhood alike with valiant victor
and valiant vanQuished.
Moreover, our homage must not only
find expression on our lips; 1t must
also show itself forth in our deeds. 1t
is great and glorious thing for
nation to be stirred to present triumph
by the splendid memories Of trlumphs
in the past. But it is shameful thlng
for a nation, if these memories SUI
it onlv to empty boastings, to prlde
that does not shrink from present
abasement, to that self-satlsfactlon
which accepts the high resolve ana
unbending effort of the father as an
excuse for effortless ease or wrong
" directed effort in the son. we OF
the present. if we are true to the past
must show by our lives that we nave
learned Alright the lessons taught py
the men who did the mighty deeds OF
the past. We must have IN us the
spirit which made the men OF tne
civil war what they were; me spirit
which Droduced leaders such as Sher-
man: the spirit which gave TO 'he
average soldier the grim tenaclty anu
resourcefulness that made the arlnleo
of Grant and Sherman as formluaole
fighting machines as the world mas
ever seen. We need their ruggedness
of body. their keen and vigorous
minds, and above all their domlnan'
quality of forceful character. Inelr
