HEROIC DEAD

Decoration Day In Hood River was
celebrated by the largest gathering
that ever attended those solemn yet
beautiful exercises at this place.
While the population is becoming
larger each year, yet the combined

do with the increased attendance.

The establishment and destruction
of nations Is not the result of aoci-
dent, but the outcome OF a God or
dained purpose To nations as to
men God give mission. Equipment
and environment, possibilities and
possession, determine nations mis-
sion. From the Romans came our
basis of Jurisprudence. From Greeks
came our literature, art and song.
From the Jews came our religion. Tu

been true to their obligations have

as people we have much to regret.
Corruption has polluted our high
places. Avarice and greed have eaten
close to the nations heart. Gold has
been pursued and God forgotten.
But amid all these regretable things,
we have held fast to the truth, that,
above armies aud navies, stands the
man, aud that for him ell government
was ordained and now exists. What
God gave to us, the brave, strong,

saved for US.

privilege tax blanks, and citizens gen
orally would do we'll to call on that Of
