Veterans Observation-Disclosures Served Return to
buckingham Memorial

| Excellent weather favored the Grand
Army men on Monday for the Memo
rial day observance, permitting as 1t did
many to take part in the days exer-
cises while there were also thousands
massed along the streets and at the
Soldiers monument, for the parade and
speaking. With lines drawts up in front
Of the Buckingham Memorial the pa
rade started promptly at 2.S2 o'clock,
headed by Capatin Linton and pla-
toon of police with Colonel G. w. Gale
as marshal and his aides following.
Colonel Gale was an excellent choice
as marshal duty which he has most
acceptably filled on many occasions.
The observance was one of the most
successful in a long time
Mayor Lippitt and mem bers of the
court of common council, city, state and
town officials in hacks reviewed the
parade from in front of the Waurega-n
house and then Joined the parade.
Thirty-four of the veterans marched,
headed by Commander Henry Hovey,
While there were many of the disabled
who rode. The losses of the year We're
particularly noticeable. One of the
shrinking features of the parade was
the large turnout of Sons of Veterans,
who escorted the Boys of ST. proceed
ed by the two militia companies. The
order of procession was as follows:

Here a new plan was followed, the pro-
cession turning into Williams avenue
until in front of the residence of DR..
Howe, when the left wheeled and
marched the entire length of the big
plains to the Soldiers monument the
veterans and sons of veterans occupy
ing specially arranged seats, while the
guests of honor and the partlc1p pants
were seated on the platform.
Along the entire line of march, both
going and to and coming from the
Chelsea parade there was a large dis
play of flags, nearly every residence
showing some decoration in honor of
the day. At the left of the speakers

since by sacrifice of blood and treasure
the heroes of 81 secured our liberty
and perpetuated our republic, although
a new generation has assumed the du-
ties of citizenship, and new issues have
arisen that test the stability of our
democracy. nevertheless the luster of
your achievements is undimmed, and
the glory of your service on sea and
land shines illustriouS with the daring
and endurance, the wisdom and the
foresight of the founders of our re-
public.
True to your God, you were to your
country true,
And we will love God more for know

We do not dim the glory of Licking

without your victory the great repub-
lie planted in the blood and tears of
Washington and his compatriots would
have blasted in the derision and fnso-

today also of the call of the hour for

the crumbling of our republic unless

cause of perpetuating the democracy

eminent is not an invention but a life
and that each generation is a day in
that life, burdened with the task of
perpetuating in its day the primary
function and essential principle of
government namely, the maintenance
of the rights of the governed. Thus
government is never a contamination.
1t is always an experiment of which
the history of nations is but the story
of the attempted testing thereof. The
old world is strewn with the monu-
ments of past failures, and today civ

our fOrefathers called into being this
nation they viewed the failures of the
past. No former experiment 1ured
them into it's pathway of doom. They
did something far better. They found
ed a democracy. No successful prece-
dent was a beacon light to their path
way, for republics had risen and fallen.
But they added an essential ingredient

past, but shameful would it be for a
nation with ouch legacy as that you
have given US If the memory of great
triumphs move us only to boasting on
state occasions. The unfiinching cour-
age and enduring service of the past
should prompt us to match that sacri-

the cause of aur freedom and truth
For the doing of such a task there lies
no beaten path of endeavor. We are
still a child in the family of nations
England is enrenched in the tradition
OF centuries. but we have no tradi-
lions. We have not even a common
past. Arching the seas with bridges
of steam we have made our shores a
meeting place of old world traditions
and over our highways of steel we
have scattered our country with tradi-
tions that will not mingle. The west
ern plains are peopled in day with
those who know not the vernacular of
democracy, while our eastern hills are
becoming the homes of races that have
a blind craving for liberty but not her
voice Civic problems have turned the
face of the present generation toward
the future to the exclusion of the past
and the din of Industrial combat is
louder than the echoes of battles
fought in the name of humanity. The
highway of citizenship has changed
since you wendell its dangerous way of
strife and blood Its signposts no
longer direct to the fruition of our
task. A new highway must be built
for the treading of our citizenship.
Where shall it be thrown up? What
our guiding survey? This alone: That
a democracy is not so much form of
government as it is faith in common
humanity, and thus incentive for the
present and hope for the future must
spring from the memory of the past.

On the other hand. having In mind

Or, TO speak Kentuclsywlse. the game

Immediately to grow pessimistic and
faint-hearted TO any very great cN-
tent.
No complaint is registered in any
quarter that Mr.. Taft is lacking in
real and aggressive patriotism. At
worst, he is set down as a doubtful
strateglst and political tactician,
which Is precisely what his distln-
guished and amazingly popular prede-
cessor most surely was not. But the
American people usually are fair and
square In their final nppraIscments.
II may SO come TO pass, say two
years from now. that the American
people will be whooping things up for
