Appeal to the Public.

The Commanders Association Of the
Department OF the Potomac. Grand
Army Of the Republic deems il a duty
to respectfully and earnestly invite the
public to join with those who served in
the great war, and with the other pa
triotic organizations, in doing proper
honor 10 the patriots who have passed
10 their reward. where to them the
words Of Omar are realized: Each
Morn a Thousand Roses Bring Me
mortal Day is nearly at hand. and II is
believed that those who thoughtlessly
pervert the scope of the anniversary,
especially our younger friends. should
have their attention directed TO the les
sons taught by the ceremonies incident
TO the day. and to ask them to join
us in strewing flowers on the graves OF
those who did their duty in the dreary
days when our Old Glory was needlessly
assaulted.
The association would thank all it's
friends TO give this reasonable request
wide publicity in the Sunday schools.
churches. and other places of public
assemblage. While we do not extend
our hope far enough TO embrace the be-
lief that Memorial Day viii be wholly
dedicated TO its high purposes. we earn
the objects of the day TO abstain from
demonstrations that will detract from
the sacred memories that cluster around
the services Of those whose graves we
strew with flowers on this one day Of
the year which should be given over to
the men that suffered that we might be
a happy prosperous nation.
1t cannot be conceived that a person
wouid- stUdiously plan for months TO at
tend horse race or any other form Of
sport. on the anniversary of the death
of a dear friend, or that Of neighbor's 5
friend. that he would search the cal
endar that he might participate in the
pursuit of pleasure on that specific date
Conception Monstrous.
The. conception is monstrous. and
would be attributed to n lack of de-
cencv, and certainly would fail 20 secure
public approval IN whole or I'm part. The
slightest reason, based upon good sense.
good morals or good citizenship could
not be framed that would tolerate such
action. Let the public conscience be
quickened as 10 the primary causes that
led 10 tho setting apart the 30th of May
for reneE- -bering the dead heroes who
fought for humanity.
The purple Mills that separate us
from the valley of the shadow are
crowded with our comrades whose
march toward the camp that is bright
ened by the light that IS not on land or
sea, is pathetically accelerated by the
-avages OF wounds, disease. and age
We who remain to guard the memory
of the comrades WHO have marched
away, a million strong, may Try in vain
TO pierce the shadows that hide them
from our view. But the unbreakable
cable OF comradeship. intertwined with
roses. reaches beyond the smiling and
the weeping and over Il each recur-
ring Memorial Day we send our mes
sages Of love and cOmradeship. while
our faith makes it possible 10 hear an
approval OF our efforts 10 keep their day
holy, sacred.
DO we ask too much OF our friends OF
the busy world 10 uncover for little
time in honor Of our comrades?"
