GLORY ENOUGH FOR ALL

The unqualified success which it
is conceded that Pullman has made
IN entertaining the department en-
campment of the G. A. r. is due. not
TO the efforts of any three or four
men, but to the hard and effective
work of practically every citizen. It
was a big undertaking for a city the
size of Pullman to handle and en-
terrain such large number of visit
ors, but the work has been done
and well done. and there is glory
enough for all" Everyone has
worked hard The committee sent
10 Wenatchee last year to invite the
encampment to come to Pullman did
their part; the committee in charge
OF the preparations have done their
part the business men have done
their part; those in charge of as
signing rooms have done their mart
the owners of automobiles have dome
their part, the families who have
slVen over their rooms to the visit
ors have done their part; the faculty
and students of the College have
done their part. and each and every
one is entitled to equal credit for
without this united effort on the
part of all, Pullman could not have,
made good in the way it is admitted
she has.
The Herald is proud of this exhi-
oition Of Pullman spirit, which viii
result in advertising the city all over
the state. and does not believe that
any one is disposed to mar it by try
ing to arrogate TO him or herself an
undue share of the credit.
There is glory enough for ALL"

THE DECORATIONS

Few features of the encampment
have excited more favorable comment
than the way in which the city was
decorated for the occasion. VIM. Sic
bells of Spokane, who was named as
official decorator and employed to
decorate the streets and public build
ings and the stand at the park, did
his work so well that the business
men sought his services to decorate
their stores and offices. until his sup
ply of material ran out. He states
that never in his experience had he
seen city of this size so deliberately
decorated. The veterans were great
~ pleased by the decorations in their
honor and the committee of arrange
ments was equally pleased with the
work of Mr.. Siebels and by the cheer
full way in which he fulfilled every
item of his agreement and then threw
in some extra work without addition
al compensation. He thoroughly
understands his business and has
splendid assortment of the very best
material. Some of the business
houses which did their own decorat-
ing are also to be complimented upon
the artistic effects produced

The Herald has a profound respect
for the purposes and work of the
auXilliaries of the G. A. r. and re-
grets that lack of time and space does
not permit of more mention of their
meetings. The editor believes that
the members of the organi cations will
agree with him that the veterans of
the war are entitled to first place
and will not feel sighted because he
has devoted practically all of his at
tention to covering the proceedings
of the encampment of the G.. A r.

an exhaustive study of the yarious

has also been analyzing certain ar

This department is under the d.

Professor Elton Fulmer, and the az

CHEMISTRY DEPART
MENT A CREDIT
TO THE COLLEGE

The Chemistry deartment has with
in the last few years become one of
the leading departments of the Col
lege. The idea of progressiveness is
made quite evident by its vast growth
and the records show one hundred
and forty-seven students registered
In the department for the second Sc
mester of 1907. At present there are
two hundred and ninety-seven stu
dents enrolled. thus showing an in
crease of 100 per cent for the last
five years. The development of the
department has probably been due TO
two reasons. First, there is a great
demand for graduate chemists at pres
ent for such positions as teaching.
chemical engineering and chemical
analysis. As there are very few ma
Joring in the course, it is impossible
to fully supply the demand. This
seems to be very promising course.
due to the fact that there is a posi-
ton awaiting every graduate. Second
ly, chemistry has recently become an
important phase of agriculture. Since
the SOIL where extensive crop raising
is carried on, is gradually becoming
depleted of the necessary plant food.
it has become the problem of the
chemist to discover this lost material.

slvely by the chemistry department.

The first floor includes the quantitive
laboratory, large lecture room. the

general qualitative and research lab

and is equipped with full set of an

The Importance of this phase Of
chemistry has only recently been
fully recognized. There is probably
no other science that presents a more
promising future for such work
Some valuable research work is at

There is an old legend of ST. Mar
tin which runs as follows: The good
saint was seated one day in his mon
astary cell engaged in meditation and
prayer, when there came knock at
the door, and in response to his invi-
tation to enter richly clad stranger
of princely mein stepped into the
humble room. "Who are you?" asked
the saint. II am Christ" replied the
stranger. ST. Martin gave him one
searching look and quietly asked,
where, then, is the print of the
nails?" and at that simple question,
the prince of evil, for it was he who
had come in disguise to tempt the
saint, skunk away discomforted.
st. Martin was not deceived by the
rich dress and confident bearing of
his visitor, he was not blinded by the
flashing gems on his fingers, but he
looked for the one mark of supreme
sacrifice which alone could indubit-
ably identify the Savior of the human
race.
Members of the Grand Army of
the Republic, the people of Pullman
welcome you with feelings of love, |
admiration and gratitude because
they see in your bent figures and fur
rowed brows 1.-THE print of the nails"

ships endured and sacrifices made in
order that this nation might live.

The AMERICAN FLAG
Prize Grafton Delivered by Eric Egge at the
Department Encampment

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies of the Woman
Relief Corps, Veterans of the
Grand Army of the Republic
and Friends:
We are gathered here today for the
express purpose of paying tribute to
the defenders of our country-the
Grand Army of the Republic-and
to accept from their co-workers-the
Womans Relief Corps-a beautiful
silk flag.
Never in the history of our city has
such a signal honor been conferred
upon us, the citizens of Pullman, as
we enjoy today. in acting as hosts to
the defenders and preservers of our
country. the veterans of "a.
Fellow citizens, these veterans
whom you see gathered here TODAY.
so worn with age, so SCARED by bat
tie, represent all that remains of the
greatest army the world has ever
known. Their greatness is not meas
ured in money, neither can it be told
in words. The greatness of these
veterans was achieved by privation.
suffering, sickness, hunger and sacri-
flee. And for what? For the love of
country and their fellow men. Off
the hope of an unbroken union and
freedom for the slaves.
Animated by such noble ideals
these veterans who are Pullman s
guests today were able to win in the
death grapple at Gettysburg. They
were able to accept Andersonville and
Libby prison and almost certain death
from starvation rather than forswear
their allegiance to this grand old flag
Often these men marched 20 to 80
miles day over rough trails. bare
foot, hungry, sick, wounded and unfit
for active service. And historians
tell us that at the end of such almost
superhuman tests of endurance they
offered their lives freely upon the
battle line.
At Cold Harbor alone, in 20 min
utes. 5000 Northern boys of high
school age-15 to 90 years-gave up
their lives; sacrifice for principle,
for right, and for this flag you offer
us. Loyalty like this to principle has
made us their everlasting debtors.
What does our flag mean? 1t en-
bodies the purposes and history of
the government itself. 1t records the
achievements of it's defenders on land
and sea. 1t heralds the heroism of
our Revolutionary fathers who plant
ed free government on this continent
and dedicated it to liberty forever. It
attests the struggles of our army and
the valor of our citizens in all the
wars of the republic. 1t has been
sanctified by the blood of our best
and our bravest. 1t means protection
to our citizens at home and abroad.
1t means that anarchy and mobs are
nn-Ameriean. 1t means national
unity and national hospitality. Our
flag expresses more than any other
national emblem. 1t expresses the
will of free people and proelaims
that they are supreme, and that they
acknowledge no earthly sovereign
other than themselves. GLORIOUS

language which was officially recog-
nized by our fathers. White is for
purity, red for valor. blue for JUS
