q ran show some appreciation

we can show some appreciation OF
their work We have no right to for
get it any more than we have right
| to forget the tattered, shot-torn,
blood-stained colors that streamed
over them with more than rainbow
beauty through the dreadful storm of
battle.
| What they endured in the trenches,
where they made love to death, in
the whirlwind of the charge, upon froz-
en- fields, in cypress sWamps and
fever infested boys; what they en-
dured from towards at home who fat
tened upon the spoils of war, all the
while maligning and traducing them,
we shall never know. That they fought
as heroes we have but to look away
to fields Of carnage to be assured
These fought the greatest and most
successful war Of all history
Greatest in History.
It was the greatest war or history
in respect to numbers engaged and
losses suffered. 1t was the greatest
war of history measured by the cali
Der of the men who fought and the
principle involved. For two and half
centuries the men who opposed each
other unto death on the field Of bat
tie had worked side by side building
up a great civilization, side by side in
resisting the encroachments OF Eu-
rome and had mingled their blood on
hundred battlefields. The north be-
lieved that the uion was one and
should not be violated, that the flag
was one and should not be torn and
that it should not protect slavery.
The south fought for their homes and
the perpetuation of slavery. While
the north had the greatest resources,
ike those Of the south. The govern
ment had been practically in the
hands of the seceders for years ana
they had made use of this advantage
NV leaving important posts without
garrisons or supplies and by putting
the munitions of war within their
own easy reach. Fortune was with
them for a time, as it was sure to be.

country. Their graves billow all our
plains. Flowers for their graves where
they rest from their labors and where
the roll of drums and the thunder of
guns will awaken them no more.
Those that remain are hurrying away
to the land of shadows, few years
more and death will tear the faded
coat of blue from their shoulders and
hew them out tomb.
Standing between the living and
the dead let us thank God that the old
sectional feelings are dying out. Men
who fought it have have come back
to the flag. Secession Is a thing of
the long ago. Slavery is dead Cuba is
free. The archipelago Of the sunlit
seas is to be made free by American
craftsmanship. All hail the Union,
all hail, all hail.
We will not give our lives to criti-
cism of manifest destiny which re-
quires neither courage nor capacity,
but we will help swell the nations

age. Our flag is on the sea and our
hearts are with the flag.

Is peace possible? Anything that
the Anglo Saxon demands is his for

All CoIors Assembled.
A few years ago in my native state
saw splendid illustration of the
magnitude of this war. There l saw
Assembled the colors of all the COM
mands that went out from the state
to take part in the war. saw the col
ors that were carried away from Bull
Run and the colors that waved over
the last battle of the war, in view of
the Rio Grande l saw the first colors
that landed at New Orleans under
Butler, the first flag that waved in
triumph from Missionary Ridge, and
the first flag that went up the as
saulting line at Fort Fisher. saw the
colors that waved in the winds OF
death at Antietam and at Fredericks-
burg, and at Charlottesville, and
four that swept with that bosom OF
destruction through Shenandoah val
ley. l saw the colors that waved above
the dead and dying in the Wilderness,
at Laurel Hill, at Spottsylvania, at Pc
River, at Cold Harbor, at Petersburg,
at Shiloh, at Stone River, at Chicka-
manga, at Nashville, at Kenesaw, at
Vicksburg and at Richmond and my
young heart thrilled with patriotism.
Indiana was but one state among
many loyal states and Oliver P Nor
ton was governor. What she did many
another did. 1t only goes to show the
magnitude of the war.
Passing Away
This is a day consecrated forever
to the unflinching loyalty and valor
of the men who fought to give us>a
country of freemen. The rest of us
are but interested spectators. We
come to mingle our voices with theirs.
The suffering was theirs, the memory
is ours. All honor to them living and
dead. They sleep in unknown, sunken
graves in all of the cemeteries OF this

peace and he win not fail.

The High School Play.

The pupils of the Meade High
School presented "What Happen
ed to Jones" at Phelps Opera
House Saturday evening and
were greeted by one Of the larg-
est crowds the house has held for
long time.
The play is good one, much
better than is usually tackled by
an amateur company, but that
fact did not in the least detract
from the success of the produc-
tion for each participant went
through their part with the
greatest of ease, showing careful
training and a great deal of nat
ural ability.
1t is impossible to make any
special mention of the individual
players for all are deserving of
the same treatment at at our
hands, and it would be very hard
to pick out one who out did an
other in their particular part.
The big audience enthusiastic
cally endorsed the play and play
ers at every opportunity and we
have heard many say, and we
can say the same, that it was the
best home-talent play that we
have ever seen staged.
Those who took part are:
Donald Innis, Bernard McMeel,
Earle Campbell, Glen Perkins,
Chas. Zee, Kay Dalgarn, Oscar
Perkins, Emilia Read, Anna Nc
Meel, Clara Flick, Ora Prather,
Helen Boehler and Ethel Innis.
1t is our opinion that the boys
and girls should take the play to
our neighboring towns and let
the people see a real first class
home talent play.

money way, is the ideal of every
sport, was jay from Richford,
New York.
Russell Sage, who loaned mon
ey to the sports for years, was a
jay-he started by jumping counS
ter in country store.
Some jay from Connecticut went
to the Worlds Fair at Chicago
in 1893. He set up a stand on
the Midway and sold wooden
nut megs to the sports for souv-
enirs. Finally he ran out of
wooden ones and sold 'em the
real thing at twenty-five cents
throw.
William Dean Howells, Ameri-
cas- foremost literary character,
will take more pride in telling
you of the days when he set type
as jay printer on the Sentinel
at Ashtabula, Ohio, than his lit
erary success of later years-the
days when they used shoe pegs
to space the type, and about a
printer getting drunk and using
a plug of Star tobacco for cut.
Nearly every man in art, sci
ence, literature, industry and
commerce here in American to-
day either is or was jay.
Cincinnati is the supply CEN
ter of the South. Years ago, at
the waning of the river traffic, it
was about to give place to Louis
vile and Memphis in the com.
merce of that territory.
The citizens Of Cincinpati got
busy and built the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad.
This road was the dream OF .
jay. They called him a jaw
dreamer, but his dream saved
the town.
You hear people say of the far
West in mercantile, industrial,
artistic and scientific pursuits,
saying: ''If we we're only in
Chicago we could do or get so and
So" In Chicago you hear them
say "If we we're only in New
York" When in New York you
hear them wishing for something
in London or Paris.
Chicago, New York, London
and Paris are all the results of
their citizens taking the condi--
tions and material at hand and
doing the best they could with
them-just as we all can do.
There yON are: Any place is
Just what tile people WAO line init
make,M ~
If any of the towns that any of
us live in are not to our liking,
why let's get busy--it's all up to
us. |
The first process in the inn
provement of any town is to get
rid of the people who are damn
ing it. -
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1911-06-01

Any place is just what the men
who live in it make it.
Don't sit around and damn
your town. A town is just as
good as good or just as bad as
the people who are damming it.
Every community, even if it
hasn't more than two hundred in
habitants, should have town
room where the cigars are good
and where everyone can meet,
free from religion or politics, and
absorb the good qualities of one
another; where the spirit of the
Golden Rule can be instilled; for
no religion and no political party
can deny this perfectly scientific
principle.
A town is seldom the result of
virgin natural conditions. In any
event it was man who saw the
natural advantages-and fire.
quently it was some one indivi-
dual.
For illustration There is no
natural reason why Cleveland
should have been the oil center
of the world. There are no oil
wells in or about the community.
So far as oil is concerned, and
as shipping point it is no better
than a dozen and one other towns.
1t was simply John d. Rock
efeller. He wanted to live in
Cleveland and his individuality,
his personality, brought the oil
to him.
There is no reason why Boston
should be the shoe market of the
world. There are no hides
there. They are all shipped from
the West. Simply some man
who knew how to make shoes on
a large scale wanted to live there
and his success encouraged
others to follow in his wake.
There is no physical reason
why Chicago should be the meat
packing center of the world. 1t
could as we'll have been st. Louis.
Simply old Phil Armour wanted
to live there.
In nearly every town you visit
you hear some resident say:
saw, this amt nothin' but an
overgrown country village!"
The resident of any town that
makes such a statement wears
whiskers and boots at heart.
OF course, if your town isn't
sporty enough for you, you can
move-that amt the towns fault.
If you get to sporty, you'll have
to move anyhow.
1t isn't the sports that make a
ttown--it's the jays.
The mau that gave the light
for the sports on the great white
way was jay-Thomas A. Edi-
son, jay telegraph operator
from Indianapolis.
