WAR TO PRESERVE UNION.
AND NOT TO FREE THE SLAVE

Judge Henry E. Burgess Of Aledo
who delivered the Memorial day ora
ton at the court house square this
morning, said in part:
at is the privilege of the citizens
of this country to assemble each year
upon certain occasions that are M
tional in their character, and while
these occasions differ one from the
other as to their immediate purposes,
they are so closely connected in prin-
ciple that a sentiment expressed at
one of them is almost entirely fitting
to be expressed at another These
occasions have a logical sequence;
one supplements the other; so that
the completed chain gives full express
sion to the sentiment of the American
people.
THE first in point of age and Sc
quence is our celebration of the Fourth
of July. BY this, we celebrate the an
niversary of the day when our early
patriots cast OF the traditions and
burdens placed upon them and launch
ed a movement with principles and
purposes elaborated in the Declare
ton of Independence. Out of this
movement arose this great common
wealth. with its powers enumerated,
limited and defined by a written con-
stitution.
Then we have our soldiers reun-
ions. The term a soldiers reunion,
has acquired with US a limited and
definite meaning, and that is a reun-
ion of the veterans of the great rebel
lion. Although the Spanish and Phil
ipine wars have interviewed since the
civil war, the great magnitude of the
latter, the large number of its sur
vivors and the constant recurrence
Of the reunions of the soldiers of this
particular war have brought us to
think of a soldiers reunion as dis
tinctly a reunion of the veterans of the
COS.
Founding and Preservation.
"Our soldiers reunions follow in
matter of sequence our Fourth Of July
celebration. One celebrates the found
ing of our union and the other its
preservation. A soldiers reunion
serves double purpose: 1t gives old
comrades an opportunity to meet, and
reaffirms old friendships formed long
ago in time of common danger. Men
who have marched together; men who
have fought together; men who have
suffered together; men who have gone
down to defeat together; men who
have won victories together; men who
have followed the old flag together,
have bond of comradeship that age
nor time can break asunder. Further
than this, a soldiers reunion gives to

| the people OF this country an oppor
| tunity to meet with those staunch de,
tenders and to show them by word
and deed that their devotion and pa
triotism still command the gratitude
of the nation.
Decoration day follows the soldiers
reunion as death follows life Our
Fourth of July celebrations will stand
alone for all the years to come, but
soldiers reunions and Decoration day
are merging one into the other as
surely as day merges into night.
When we meet next May, there will
be many thousand more graves TO
decorate than when we meet today.
and there will be many thousand
fewer of the boys in blue to meet and
assist in the honored rights to their
dead comrades. The scene is grad
ually shifting from the public parks
and squares to the cemetery; where,
in the near future, we will meet ex-
clusively to pay our tribute to the
heroes of a great struggle.
While the immediate purpose of
these different occasions vary some
what, behind and underneath them is
the one great principle of loyalty to
our country and honor to its founders
and defenders.
All Profit by Day.
Not only do the veterans receive
comfort from this days exercises. but
all of us who participate profit by
them for the reason that It gives an
opportunity to get away from the
daily problems that distract us, and
contemplate some of the deeper feel
ings that inspire men to deeds OF sac
rifice and bravery. While in today's
exercises we forget none of our soldier
dead, our minds turn naturally to The
veterans of the great rebellion and it
is pertinent to inquire why the citi-
zens of the north entered into this
great conflict. A discussion of this
question will contain nothing new to
the veterans themselves, nor to the
other people who lived in those stir
ring times, but it may prove proftasic
to those of us who know OF these mat
tiers only through history or recital
I'm my judgment, this motive can
best be analysed by enlarging upon the
following brief propositions:
First. That slavery existed in this
country in opposition to the principles
advanced as justification for the reyo-
lutionary war
Second. That slavery was recog-
nized by the federal constitution as
an existing. legal institution. and that
the rights of the slave holder became
absolutely fixed under IL by judicial
construction
Third. That the doctrine of state

culiar institution OF the south and be-
came the indirect cause OF the war in

excuse for the exercise OF the right of

Sixth. That slavery was abolished
