that # would be practically impossible to
ask for an injunction against the rail-
road companies before June l, when the
new rates go into effect. He promised.

arguments made by the shippers and

OF welcome by Louis p. Shoemaker. for
the Brightwood citizens. Justice Ander-
son was introduced He said, In part:
The silent eloquence Of the heroic

should not only quicken our patriotic i'm
pulses but should lead us 10 reverently
contemplate what ii cost 10 maintain
these two great ideas: not that we can
thereby add aught TO their imperishable
glory. but rather that We may In some
measure catch the inspiration Of their
mighty faith and heroism and renew
once more our own devotion 10 the old
flag under whose folds they marched
and fought and died.
But while we thus honor the memory
Of these dead soldiers Of the civil war,
doing honor TO the living heroes Of that
great war as WELL for, living or dead.
they were alike the soldiers OF the re-
public and fought side by side IN he-
defense. While we may not decorate the
brows Of the living as we have strewn
with flowers the graves OF the dead we
think OF them, and with just pride: speak
Of them as cpmrades-comrades whose
imperishable honors won upon the bat
tlefelds Of the republic will for all time
illuminate the pages OF our country's
history"
Senator Brown was introduced as the
Memorial Day speaker, and said, in part:
This is a day sacred to the memory OF
our cOuntry's heroes. The nation which
forgets its defenders will soon find itself
without defenders. because to forget them
is 10 forget the lessons they taught and
the things they stood for. To forget
them IS 10 forget the highest ideals Of a
patriotic people. No people can advance
and at the same time lose devotion TO
their ideals
AN executive can accomplish little IN
less he has the real sympathy and SUD-
port OF the people. What could Grant
have done without the loyal and agrees
slve help Of the men IN the ranks? In
the White House to-day there sits man
chosen President Of the United States
by the people OF the United States II
Is immaterial on this occasion 10 dis
cuss or to know what his politics are.
The material fact is. he is the President
OF all OF the people. Why was he chosen ?
Because he stood for certain things He
told the people what those things were
and the people understood what thew
were, and when they voted for him thew
testified that they would support him in
giving 10 the people the policies he stood
for"
