not to destroy, but to save liberty;
not to overthrow. but to establish the
supremacy of the law. Freedom is
not a gift which can be enjoyed save
by those who show themselves
worthy Of it. In this world no privi-
lege can be permanently appropriated
by men who have not the power and
the will successfully to assume the
responsibility of using it right. In
his recent admirable little volume on
freedom and responsibility In demo-
cratic government, President Hadley
Of Yale has pointed out that the free
dom which means government
and not anarchy.
The lessons they taught us are les
sons as applicable In our everyday
lives now as in the rare times of
great stress. The men who made this
field forever memorable did so be-
cause they combined the power of
fealty to lofty ideal with the power
of showing that feaity in hard. prac-
teal, common-sense fashion. They
stood for the life of effort. not the
life of ease. They had that love of
country, that love of justice, that
love of their fellowmen, without
which power and resourceful effici-
ency but make q man danger to his
fellows. Yet, in addition thereto, they
likewise possessed the power and the
efficiency; for otherwise their high
purpose would have been barren of
result. They knew each how to act
for himself. and yet EACH how TO act
with his fellows. They learned, as
all the generation of the civil war
learned. that rare indeed is the chance
to do anything worth doing by one
sudden and violent effort. The men
who believed that the civil war would
be ended in 80 days. the men who

Uhe theatergoers of Spokane are mad
at the way they have been faxed. The

Trouble has been brewing among
the Cohans for long time. just
where the trouble comes in, who is to
blame, or whether anybody or nobody

that George Cohan's wife, who used

THE place where we now are has
won n double distinction. Here was
fought one of the great battles of all
time. and here was spoken one of the
few speeches which shall last through

endures or its history is known, So
long shall the memory OF the battle
of Gettysburg likewise endure and be
known: and as long as the English
tongue is understood, so long shall

Today the boys" Of 81, their
wives, their, sons and the boys Of
'98 meet to pay loving tribute to
their comrades who have passed be-
fore them. On the great battlefelds
Of the country thousands will as

those who fell in battle. In other
communities thousands will gather to
decorate the last resting place Of
those who survived the battle but
who later passed to the. great un-
known. In almost every cemetery in
the land lies one or more of the boys
who protected the flag when it stood
in deadly peril. Their lives were their
country's, their blood the water to
wipe out secession and revive the ma
tion.
In the great cemeteries of the cities
little flags, the flag they loved. will
mark the graves Of men who jumped
to the nations rescue when they were
needed. In the little country ceme-
terry one lone flag futtering over the
mound will mark today the final rest
ing place of one separated in death
from those who stood at his side in
the great battles of the civil war.
Each year the ranks of the living
grow smaller, each year the flags be-
come more numerous. The old guard,
while it lives, remembers the COM
panions, of the war. Soon the work
must be taken up by others. The boys
OF '9S will not forget the boys of 'ef.
Without the latter there might have
been no boys of 'sS. The country owes
debt greater than 1t can pay to
those who saved the Union, to those
who were the wonder of the world.

cemeteries where the graves of their
brothers were decorated profusely

At 9 o'clock the posts met with
the Relief corps and proceeded to
