Salkey met Isaac Prayer of this city,

engagement has just been received
from St. Louis, where it was given out
by her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. S.

HENEY MAKES TEXT
OF LNCOLN'S TALK
immortal Gettysburg Address
Used to Point Moral for
Memorial Speech

PETALUMA, May 3O.-Memorial day
was observed in Petaluma by one of the
largest throngs which has turned out
here in years. Graves were decorated
and the usual services Of the G. A r.
veterans were observed, but the draw
ing card of the day was the address of
Francis j. Heney, who delivered the
memorial speech. The crowd which
heard him was one of the greatest in
the city's history and far exceeded that
which turned out year aga wnen
Governor Gillett was the speaker or the
day.
Heney diverged from the stereotyped
eulogy to discuss national affairs and
civic corruption. The state of Cali
fornia came in for scoring, and Heney
spared no one, from Governor Gillett to
the humbIest constable. The audience
was wholly in sympathy with the
speaker and after the address, which
was held at Cypress Hill cemetery, He
ney was the guest of honor at ban
quet given by the G. A. R. Heney took
for the text of his speech the last para
graph Of Lincoln's Gettysburg address,
which had just been recited before he
took the stand. In part, he said:
The men who fought in the civil war
fought for the perpetuity of the union.
not for the freedom of the slave. That
was merely Incidental, the real issue
being the survival of the union as
against the rights of states to secede.
Why is it important for US to main
tain the union? The republican form
OF government is the most inefficient
and the absolute monarchy is the most
efficient kind of government, but a
country is never sure when it may have
wise and benevolent monarch, and
therefore is in constant danger of
tyranny. The object of a republican
government is to give equal rights and
liberties to all, and whenever 1t fails
TO accomplish that end IL ceases to be
worth fighting for. Instead Of being a
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, it then becomes
a government of the people, by a few
Of the people for q few of the people.
Heney pointed out how within a few
years the natural resources of the coun-
try-oil, timber and coal-have been
grabbed by individuai interests, and
then referred to the growing danger
of a monopoly of natural water re-
sources. He said that a man who can
make money rapidly is the man. who
has learned to take to himself the profit
OF the labor of other men, and made
the point that the man who gains con-
troll of natural resource takes TO
himself natural power equal to the
labor of hundreds of thousands of his
fellow men.
He prophesied that the inevitable re-
suit of the growing Capitalization OF
wealth would be future conflict be-
tween the owners Of wealth and the
multitudes. He closed his address with
some pointed references to the graft
situation in San Francisco.

SPENCER. Neb., May William
j. Bryan was the orator at the Memoir
iaI day exercises here today. He spoke
to 5000 persons. In part he said
This day has been set apart for
the commemoration services of those
who have served their country in war
1t is a beautiful custom and on each
anniversary the floral tributes laid
upon the graves of the. dead and the
words spoken by the living give testi-

toward those who gave the full meas
ure OF their devotion to their country's s
cause.
-Patritism is love of country and
sacrifice is the greatest of love. Those
who fell in battle gave their lives;
those who passed through the dangers
of war and yet survive, offered their
lives to their country-greater love has
no man than this"
