TT would seem as though having a

enough to insure It's success But
this is far from being the case, especially
as regards party for children.
The main thing, ! have found, IS Tor
the "grown-ups" who are superintend-

Atss.ssEsas Al. whom ME owe this blessed
republic, and flowers, whether they
be high on the mountain side Or in
an humble place, or the gardens OF
the rich-these flowers are colored
by the blessed love expressed and
nourished upon the battlefields. The
flowers bloom not simply with the
fragrance of this earth's joy, but they
give forth the fragrance of a united
republic that stands not only for
Americas good, but that stands In a
divine and a large sense for the good
of the whole earth.
What is patriotism? Is it love
of native land? Why, that is only one
of the flowers of patriotism. What
is patriotism? 1t is the conservation
of our best life and our heart to the
benefit of coming generations. That
is patriotism. 1t was that which
made you men go forth to meet the
bravest army that ever met foe in
all the world--for the armies Of the
north and South were the bravest
that ever struggled ON any battle
field. 1t was that which made you
go forth not in your own interest
alone, but in the interest Of coming
generations of this republic; and in
the interest not only Of this repub-
lie, but Of all the peoples of the
world. And the little struggle, the
;Spanish-American War, in the rich
est and divinest sense, illustrates
that the lesson of patriotism had
been truly learned, for you remem-
ber that in the Spanish War there
was not any need to go, as far as our
.country's danger was concerned. Not
a home in this land was in danger.

A young man in Oregon said elo-
Quently in public speech that he

A few months later, as a member Of

his country, but not to live for it.
We will probably not again have
civil war. We have little dread OF
struggle with another nation. The
nations are not fighting us, but they
are sending us their millions--many
of them ignorant and out Of sympa-

be assimilated into our civilization.
