for the past thirty-four years, has serv-

Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth Presi-

the descendants of his old-time neighbors
and friends in east Tennessee today took
advantage of the first memorial cele-
bration since the transformation of the
private cemetery into a national instttu-
ton to do honor to the memory of the
former distinguished citizen by organiz-
ing the Andrew Johnson Memorial As
sociatiOn.
The people came from all portions or

at certain modern suggestions. 1t will be
dark day, indeed. for the republic when
the name of Abraham Lincoln ceases to
be revered above all other figures of the
civil war period, or when 1t shall be re-
placed by that OF Jefferson Davis to any
extent in the hearts and affections of the
American people. The thought of it is
as shocking as the first thrill of horror
that followed the firing on Sumter; and
yet, only recently, there was read in the
national House Of Representatives, with
being allowed in reply, this sentiment
from leading southern journal:
Everybody in America who knows
the history of the two men knows that in

unselish patriotism Jefferson Davis was
a greater man than Abraham Lincoln.

observance Of Memorial day all over oun

though the evening shadows are fast
lengthening; although we have nearly all
reached the age for chloroforming, ac-
cording to DR.. Osler, keep our faces to
the front, buckle our belts a little tighter
as we did on the eve of battle, and
bravely resolve to go forward to the
end doing our whole duty as good citi-
zens In peace as We did our duty as sol
diers in war, even though insult and
abuse may be heaped upon us by the
friends and defenders of the lost cause.
If we do this, it is as certain as anything
under the sun that the plaudits of
grateful nation will follow and abide
with us to the end

Senator Clapp said in part:
There is something in his nature which
prompts man to lift himself above the
interests of self. above the interests OF
home and consecrate himself upon the al
tar Of his country. We read the stories
of other sacrif1ces-Thermopylae the
worse than useless charge of the Light
Brigade-but they scarcely stir our hearts
because they were in vain. But the stories
Of your sacrifices and Of the heroes who
lie buried in this acred ground will echo
down the ages because of the achieve
ment for human liberty.
Because of the sacrifice Of the boys Of
81. the boys of '9S were inspired to 90
forth that an alien race might be free.
1T has been said that it were better
to have bought the slaves of 81 and set
them free, but your sacrifices were better
far than any such compromise with
wrong"
In closing. Senator Clapp paid a special
