When such a love of country is devei-
oped. what noble thoughts will crowd
into their minds as they recall the MS
tory of our country, and gaze upon
our starry banner typifying dignity
and strength, kindness and fairness
peace and protection, liberty and law.
Then how the heart will throb for
those who at the call of patriotism
ranged themselves side by side be-
meath its ripling folds in defense OF all
it represents and gave that which we all
should feel pledged to give when called
upon to do SO.
Not many months ago I stood by the
Golden Gate and watched the entrance II

native land, and then through the low
sring clouds came rift. and old Sol
smiled in golden benediction upon that
glorious banner waving In the breeze
upon the flagship. From thousands up
on thousands a cry went up, drowning
The blare Of trumpets and the noise OF
cannons. the cry OF loyalty and devo-
ton. the outpouring of the heart OF
patriotism.

throne of liberty, and thanked God

went back to another and different day,
to a day when our forefathers gained
this heritage for us. l see sturdy,
God-fearing band OF Pill
prims dauntless men and women, wit!
the fires of courage burning in theii
hearts, yet suffering privation. danger
and hardship. in order that they an
their children might find home in
the land of freedom. These heroes, men
whose hands were horny from toll. and
tho women whose faces were deep lin
ed with care and anxiety. such were
the noble ones who wrought an empire
from a wilderness and placed 1t In our
hands, who builded cities and covered
hills with dome and tower shining with
the last rose of sunset, and the first
beryl of dawn,-an empire toward which
across the sapphire waters of the west
has come these splendid monarchs of
the sea. They made these things posi-
BILE. To them the State Of Washington
should teach children to give homage
to them. those American patriots, build
ers Of our country, those sturdy, hardy
men and women of Liberty, loyalty,
and Patriotism.
Such are the responsibilities the State
of Washington owes to her children. Let
her teach her children these lessons she
would have them cling to, these great
truths to which they should consecrate
their lives of service, and upon these
truths the sun will shine in radiant
splendor, gliding each act of patriotic
service with the blessings Of Almighty
Mountaineering the silken banner of
our country, and II we and our child

brighter, and better, our tasks and
theirs will be more easily performed In
the days to come.
When the sun grows cold and the
stars are old.
And the leaves Of the judgment book
unfold,
we shall find refuge and reposc in the
Fathers mansion on high. Let the
State teach the children to be brave
and gentle of heart, yet like the mighty
oak in the time of trial: teach to be
charitable to the distressed and friends
Of the weak and timid:' to be devotees
of liberty and champions Of the op-
pressed Of earth: to be just to their fell
lowmen, for the path of the just Is us
