Today is Memorial Day, the day OF
all the year the best to the brave boys
who in the early sixties donned the
blue, shouldered their muskets,
siung their canteens over their
hacks. packed their blankets on their
shoulders and marched away to the
sunny South, there to do and die for
their country.
This day of all days comes to these
gallant old fferluws-only few OF
them survive bringing with it
memories of sacrifice, of long weary
marches, of deadly battle, Of wounds
sickness, suffering and death, and as
they take up their march to the ceme-
teries there to strew fragrant flowers
on the graves of those who have al
ready answered the last bugle call
and have gone on ahead to biviouac
on the eternal camping ground, hats
are doffed, heads are barred and
tears come unbidden to the eyes OF
the spectators as they watch the
heroes of the sixties parade the
streets. 1t was glorious sacrlnce
and the results are beyond compre'
hension. Had it not been for these
brave boys in blue this nation would
not now be spelled with q big M;
this great and glorious republic would
not have made the record it has in the
past thirty years and would not have
occupied the proud place It now does
in the fore front of civilization. All
honor, then. to the Boys IN Blde.' May

We are gathered here today to

say or do will add to the luster of
their achievements; that what
transpires on this occasion will
go unnoticed by them, and yet,
little as it is, the state we repre-
sent could do no less than to
erect a shaft to the memory Of our
heroic dead.
It is not my purpose to review
and revive the incidents of the
sanguinary conflict of a half cent
ury ago; it is not my intention to :
discuss the issues which led up to
the greatest Civil War which the
world has ever seen; it is not my

exault in defeat which fell to those

American citizens, bringing gar
lands of love and affection to the

Here they sleep with those
against whom they contended.
They, at least, are in perfect
peace. The cause over which they
struggled is at an end. 1t needs
no champion, :it.needs no defense,
it invites no controversy; the War
of the Rebellion is long since at
an end. All who participated in
it were Americans. The valor Of
the one. was equal to the valor of
the other. The conscience of the
one was as the conscience of the
other Right or" wrong, the strug-
gle was by brave men. Out of it
came the present America the
greatest country which the world
has ever known; country as dear
to one as to the other. out of it
grew great responsibilities; re-
sponsibilities which rest upon
those who enjoy it's blessings and
it's privileges today. Mighty and
