I"OQr fathers maze tho compass WAt0I
Joins the Union. They are dead. W.
are not bound by 1t. We will secede."
Lincoln and the country said no. Lin.
coins call was heard. The Union was
not severed. But It cost something.
The speaker then pictured some Of
the sorrowful scenes Of the war, and sci
forth the significance of the ceremonies
of Memorial Day. It becomes US to-day
to drop tear for those men who gave
their lives for their country. Our whole
country is the resting place of our brave
defenders. Go where you will, You Will
hardly find cemetery without flag.
"They are not deadl The stars 60 down
| To rise upon some fairer shore;
| And bright In heavens Jeweled crown
They shine forevermore."
It's an honor to you, whether you
knew him or not, to put flag or flower
on the grave of soldier, who made
possible what you enjoy to-day.
To illustrate something OF the part
taken by the women In the conflict, Mr..
Crosby told the story of his own enlist
ment, when at the last It was his father
who "broke down and cried like NO.
man." while his mother "stood up like
a man."
Thousands have gone since last Me-
mortal Day. They saved this country.

ing the progress of this glorious repub-
lie. seem to hear them speaking to
this generation words of warning and
admonition.
The speaker referred to the recent de-
cisions of the Supreme Court in the
Standard Oil and Tobacco cases as of
tremendous Importance. might, he
says, tell you funny stories of the times
of the war. They would amnse you,
but they would carry no lesson with
them. But have other things to say, OF
the duties of to-day. Every individual
citizen should take into consideration
what this nation has cost, and consider
the conditions which exist to-day.
This is country of large wealth, yet
few millionaires control the great part
of the wealth of the country, and grave
economic and social problems are before
US. 1t is an hour of tremendous re-
sponsibility. All our national troubles
are the result of violation of Gods law.
The social problems which confront US
can only be solved by the practice of the
spirit Of Christian brotherhood.
We can not tolerate any kind Of OPP
preston. The principles expressed in
Lincoln's Gettysburg address must be
our guide.
Men fought and died for the flag be-
cause 1t stands for liberty and freedom.
When it does not stand for that, we'll
burn them all. If the time ever comes
that the flag ceases to stand for the prin-
ciples Of freedom and justice, we shall
be ashamed of the emblem.
1t is not liberty when eight-tenths Of
the people pay rent to the other two
tenths for the privilege of staying on the |
earth. It lie not liberty when foreigners
can come to these shores, and after
very few years can vote against the in
fluence of the women who can not vote.
Something is wrong when $3.50, 900
names are ON the list of the unemployed.

conditions must be radically changed.
In an eloquent peroration Mr.. Crosby
paid tribute to the Boys In Blue, and

Woods Fire on Oxford Plains.

Smoke poured up in pillows about all
day Sunday from a FIRE which, before it
was checked, burned over two or three
hundred acres of woods and grass land
ON Oxford plains. 10 started near the
railroad, and 10 thought to have been set
by locomotive some time in the fore
noon.
The fire crossed the highway without
difficulty, and in places jumped apparent
distractions by running in the tops Of
pine trees.
The Norway train crew was called out
about noon to take the section crews to
fight the fire. They took all the men
that could be got hold of at South Paris,
and ran as far as Yarmouth, picking up
the section men along the line. Men also
came from up the line on the afternoon
express. and the train was stopped to let
them of at the fire. Large numbers of
people came from Oxford and the sur
rounding country, and some estimated
that there were q thousand people at the
place, though that estimate Is doubtless
large by some hundreds.
There are no houses In the burned
district, though there are some near
enough to make the owners little
anxious about the progress Of the fire.

Westport Roads This Year

The demand for road Improvement
has proven too great for the county
commissioners to adhere to the plan
announced recently of refusing to
build any roads this year, owing, as
they said. to the grumbling about
high taxes, and it is now stated that
they will provide for the completion
of the southside road and the build
ing of a $4,000 bridge across South
Bay. and to complete the North river
road including a $4,000 bridge over
that river.
The establishment of the whaling
station on South Bay and the destruc-
ton of the big hotel at Moclips has
instilled new life into the hitherto
isolated southside. and makes wag-
