Judge Edward p Seeds Of Iowa was
the orator of the day.
The sacrifices and valor q: these men,
whose memories and achievements We
honor today" he said secured for our
people an undismembered Union and freed
il from al institution which was a re-
Election upon the growing ethical con-
/ seriousness of the world and a weakness to
our citizenship. both materially and
morally.
Their victories made possible the
strong nation which now challenges the
wonder and admiration of the world: a
nation which i'm strength. wealth. popna-
ton and other material factors takes its
position III the forefront of the nations of
the earth.
'.Al this fills us with pride and too fire.
uuently with an overmI STEERING vanity We
forget he essence OF things i'm admirns
their material wrappngs. Their battles
resulted in victory which meant a
larger and nope splendid country: but

CATION. but in good citizenship and OPP
portunity for developing the man and
woman such.
These things are "a matter Of char
acter. and character is essentially a
realization in the individual and social
consciousness Of great ideas Of righteous
ness. The conflict Of forty-odd years ago
not alone a material contest. IL was
rat her a contention 10 determine which of
! two views of great idea should dom

turtles To follow. These men decided that
idea in favor of practical and not theoret-
zeal freedom.
We enter into their victory only as we
recognize that there are still other great
ideas pressing for recognition: that this
ma ion is not a saved nation until every
error which presents itself is eliminated
from government and the consciousness
! of the people. THE time calls for just as
brave men and women as In the times of
the civil war: a courage just as marked: a
valor just az pronounced and heroism just
as necessary.
Whether the hosts of the liquor bust
ness ShGil dictate the character of our
moral fiber. whether the greed of unregu-
lated corporate wealth shall modify the
ethics of d Christian ideal. whether the
selfish and unreasoning conflict between
capital and labor shall drive further apart
Il citizenship that should be brotherly and
helpful--all these involve mighty ideas
which call for the devoted adhesion of
all men and women who axe the legiti-
mate heirs Of the men who offered their
lives that this nation might live If ii is
to live il will be because we, who are
now upon the battlefields. do loyal and
courageous work for the right as we see
the right. and rest not until every flag
that stands for individual and social
wrong is pulled down forever.

Star ball players nowadays receive
many handsome presents in addition to
their fat salaries. The latest gift pre-
scented to Ty Cobb was a $3.50 silver
service from the business men of De-

held at Robertsdale last evening was a

In Robertsdale the crowds filled Hen

New York. Sept. 25.-Chicago won
from Brooklyn today, and by winning

closest in the history of the organ

compel Pulliam to render a decision.
Instead, however, of handing down q

tangle, Pulliam took step which will
delay the decision at least ten days
at the end of which time no one will

New York filed its protest against the
