HONOR THE DEAD AND LIVING
Splendid Show of Patriotism in Mineral
Point
Gratifying Address by Hon. A. w. Kopp

Saturday, May 30, 1908, was the for
tieth anniversary of Memorial Day, con-
ceived by and established mainly
through the efforts of that brave volun-
teer soldier, Gen. John A. Logan, and
each recurring year down that vista of
time the nation cities, towns and ham
let's have paused to bow with reverence
and in a spirit of thankfulness to the
living and dead heroes of that terrible
civil conflict.
Despite the lowering clouds the day
this year was observed in Mineral Point
as usual with splendid show of pat
riotism. Business houses and homes
were lastly decorated with the nation
al colors, and the spirit of generation
was dominant throughout the city.
The first exercise Of the day was that
of the surviving veterans visiting the
four cemeteries of our city and decorat-
ing the graves of dead comrades with
flowers of love.
At 80 p. m. a procession composed
of veterans, hundreds of school children
and citizens was formed in front of the
city hall and to the harmonious strains
of the local band, marched to the city
park. There the services consisted
of singing by the high school girls
choir, invocation by Rev. S. A. Bender.
recitation by Master Rufus Phillips,
calling of the roll of honored dead and
address by Hon. A. w. Kopp.
We say address. 1t was more; it was
an grafton, and one Of special merit,
and voluntary words of praise come
from every nearer. The sacrifice and
achievements of the volunteer soldier,
the alert officer and the Christ-like
president during the country's hour of
dire distress were pictured in charming
and effective language. The peace
those of the present generation enjoy
in consequence of all this is sublime,
but, as the speaker said, although we
have no wars to fight, there are great
and important duties to perform, and
at once, principal of which are the
upbuilding of temperance and morality,
now at such a low ebb, that the ma
tons fame may not degenerate and
her prosperity wane. Here is food for
Thought.

face and voice showed the intense emo
ton under which he was laboring as he
said:
IF there was ever a clear case of a

IS the case OF Mr.. Heney. He was actu-

devotion TO the good of his country and

be that or martyr to the public causs.

this, that no threats of assassination will

The Des Moines plan marks the doom of
the political boss. The city government
would be busineSs-like because the civil

pull would not predominant. but COM
