BEGAN YOUNG.

six months" writes a Texas girl.

thin and very sallow. After quitting
coffee and drinking Postum Food Cot

disappeared and has never returned.
This is the more remarkable as am
a Primary teacher and have kept
right on with my work.
MY complexion now Is clear aud
rosy. my skin soft and smooth. AS a
gbci complexion was something / had
greatly desired, I feel amply repaid
ever tho this were the only benefit
derived from drinking Postum.
Before beginning its use / had
suffered greatly from indigestion and
headache; these troubles are now TN
known.
BEST of all, / changed from coffee
to Postum without the slightest inccA.
venience, did not ever have a head
ache. Have known coffee drinkers
who were visiting me, to use Postum
a week without being aware that they
were not drinking coffee.
II have known several to begin the
use of Postum and drop 1t because
they did not boil 1t properly. After

Gave Lives for Nation
But the example set by him in go

years and this day in many respects
has become the most impressive of
any we celebrate. 1t is fitting and
proper it sholld be so. No war in the
history of the world was ever waged
for cause so altruistic as impelled

in the great struggle from 81 to '65.
1t was the cause of humanity itself.

Almost innumerable thousands of
those who fought in the ranks liter
ally gave their lives that the nation
might live. Those who did not fall
in battle none the less offered their
lives on their country's altar Your
numbers are few and each succeeding
year sees your ranks diminish. To
day grateful people pays its tribute
to the union soldier, living and dead.
Boy of Today; Man Tomorrow
How can we most fittingly com
memorate this day? The soldiers
warfare is DER; his work is done;
but problems Of the nation are al
ways with us. The great work of the
battlefield was performed largely by
young men. The ranks of both ar
mics were filled with mere boys.
"Old men for counsel, young men for
war" is an old adage and it's adapta-
ton is not confined to the mere mill
tary features of nations life. The
boy of today is the man of tomorrow
and without recognition of the force
of youth in business and civic affairs
as well as in war, the best energy Of
the republic is ignored. Upon the
young men of today ] wish to impress
the Importance of solving the prob
lens Of this generation as faithfully
and periodically as their fathers met
and solved the problems that con-
fronted them in 81 to 50.
A living nations work is never
done. Tasks of one generation are
largely the Inheritance of the next.
You may not have to take part in
any great war-it Is both probable
and greatly to be desired that you
will not-but you have tasks not less
important because they are different.

civic problems that recur with sur.
prising monotony from generation to
generation. There are not so many
new problems in life as one might at
first think. We have indeed high
authority for the statement that
there is no new thing under the

and an Unsuitable thirst for riches
seem to have got the better of every

every order of men; that party dis

Later ! ran across this philosophic
observations:
The temptations i'm business in
this age are so great that it demands
the highest type of conscience, the
clearest brain and the most genuine
manhood that can be enlisted"
That was written in the early part
of the last century by Richard Cob
den.
] cite these TO demonstrate that hui
man nature does not change rapidly
and that social, business and political
problems with which we of the present
day have to contend are not entirely
peculiar to our day and generation;
nor do we need new remedies so
much as we need the applications of
the days Of Washington and Franklin
and Burke and Golden. And those
remedies can all be summed up in the
one word, haracter-character of the
person, the individual, the man, the
personal unit.
About Grafters
We are surprised and shocked at
the revelations of corruption in civic
affairs by men in public positions. and
we hang our heads in shame for the
public offenses of men In private life;
yet the cause of it all is the weakness
of human nature. the want of virtue
and integrity in the individual.
The man who is dishonest in his
personal dealings wants only the OPP
portunity OF public position to be-
come. in the parlance of the day, a
public instead OF private CRATER"

We sometimes hear IL said Of a pub
! lie official who has disgraced his sta
| ton, that he is personally honest, per-
sonally a good fellow, etc. Let us
remember that one cannot be person
| ally honest and officially dishonest.
There is no such thing as impersonal
dishonesty Let us remember that
the corner stone of our governmental
structure is intelligent personal in
tegrity. Upon it depends the endur,
ance of the republic.
In our form of government the per-
sonal equation cannot be eliminated.
Ours is neither a democracy nor an
| oligarchy. II is essentially a govern
ment through representation. Our
public officials are trustees with con-
stitutional or statutory limitations and
personal responsibilities as such The
principle of representation in human
government is comparatively recent
discovery. Without IL government
ever has been oppressive and the gov
erned without adequate means OF re-
dress. Our government, national and
state, is predicated on fiduciary rela-
tons between the people and their
public servants, and the manner of
the execution of the trust depends
upon the conception of duty by the
trustee. As his conception Of duty de-
ponds upon his personal character
the success of representative govern
ment in the last analysis depends
upon the intelligence and integrity of
the individual
undesirable Citizens"
The state was made for man: not
man for the state Government is or.
dained for mans benefit and it must
not be used as means to exploit
either the community or the individ-
ual; nor, on the other hand, should
ii be exploited by the individual or
used as shield to protect him who
undertakes to exploit it. The CRATER
in private life, though less conspicu-
Gus than his kinsman in public sta
ton, is equally an undesirable citi-
zen;" in fact, In some respects he Is
more dangerous to the public welfare
because of the less likelihood of de-
lection.
In the long run our public morals
reflect the composite character of our
people and our legislation is moulded
by public opinion. If that composite
character is high, our public morals
will be wholesome. II public opinion
is formed by intelligent thought and
moral conviction, our legislation will
be wise and equitable.

accomplish little. On the other hand,

Woonsocket, S. d., May 30.-Elabo-
rate arrangements had been made here
for the observance of Memorial day,
and they were carried out as planned
by the local G. A. X. post. The prin-
cipal speaker was Senator Kittredge.
He was met at the station by COM
mittee and escorted to post head
quarters. The senator's speech was
warm tribute to the veterans, liv-
ing and dead, and it was characterized
by good, sound advice for guidance in
the struggle of life. His speech fol-
lows:
When in November, 1863, Abraham
Lincoln went to the battlefield of Get
tysburg and delivered that short but
impressive Grafton over the graves OF
the heroes who gave their lives that
the nation might live" he set an eX-
ample for grateful people to emu
late through all time. BY the use of
less than three hundred words and
i'm a period not exceeding three min
utes in duration he pronounced a
masterpiece in oratory as immortal as
the deeds of the heroes to whose
memory he was paying the loving
tribute of a nation. The world will
little note nor long remember" said
he. what we say here. but it can
never forget what they did here"
Such was the modesty of the great
Lincoln and such was his apprecia-
ton of the heroic sacrifice of those
patriotic citizen-soldiers who gave
their lives in the cause of their coun-
try.
Tribute to the Dead
What proved to be the decisive bat
tie in the greatest war in the worlds
history had been fought on that field
scarce five months before. The frat
ricidal strife still continued and dark
days for the republic were to follow.
While the life of the nation still hung
in the balance, the president Of the
republic paused to do homage to the
dead and to appeal to the living to
dedicate themselves anew to the
great task remaining before them and
which the honored dead had given
''the last full measure of their devo.
ton"
That was forty-four years ago, and
the great soul that prayed that the
nation might have "a new birth of
freedom was called to his reward by
