glorious battlehelds Of the nation
in its great domestic contest make
even the pathos of the warfare elo-
quent with brotherhood, unity and a
common devotion.
The time may come when war will
be regarded as barbarism outright,
when the closeness Of the nations and
the identical interests of the powers
will be such as to obviate warfare,
when the tribunals will exist for the
support of all international causes
without recourse to war. But the
time can never come when the laurels
of the warrior will be dimmed. No
iconoclaSt will ever arise who will
seek to tear down the monuments Of
the men who nodded the worlds des-
tinies, using the blood OF the battle
field as the cement for their construct
i've efforts
Indeed, 1t is conceivable that the day
may come when there can no more be
opportunity for military distinction.
but this very fact will increase the
glory of the ages Of heroism. Then
the nation will look back to the deeds
of the heroes who saved the Union,
and they will be honored as living in
an age, the majesty of which cannot
be underrated by any change Of ideas
as to the utility of warfare. Hence
the tribute paid the dead heroes Of
the nations strife will be less trib-
ute than any to follow, for every year
the need of praise and the warmth OF
encomium will be increased, as the
widening vista of the past lends addi-
tional enchantment to the theme. The
time will come when every part Of the
nation, without disparagement to the
men who fought on the other side,
will unite in acclaiming the men who
preserved the nation and made it the
mighty leader in all movements for
the peace and honor Of mankind.
War may be all that 1t has been
painted and its horrors cannot be too
gravely set forth, but there Is a pro-
found religion In the warfare that re!

Democratic and Republican state con-

Roosevelt forces were making no
claim before the primaries in re-
gard to the Republican convention,
which will elect six delegates-at-large
to the national convention, they are
now claiming that Roosevelt will have
a slight majority. There will be 759
delegates. The Roosevelt forces are
now claiming 387, conceding S72 to
Taft.
The Harmon forces, which expected
easy control Of the Democratic state
convention, which has power to order

would be forced to vote for Harmon

the great federated people of the
American republic, the righteousness
that exalteth a nation. American
statesmen. American educators, Amer
lean theologians-all have done
nightly toward giving this country
its position Of prestige in the realm
Of world affairs, its reputation for pro-
bity and honesty. But the men who
gave their lives for the nation made
all this possible. They exalted an
ideal that has placed upon the Ameri-
can people the destiny of necessity to
support every oppressed people and to
uplift the standard of freedom and
moral right. Out from the furnace
of the war came the gold of American
ideals, out from the blood and strife
came the type of American states
manship and the type of American
sentiment that have caused the re-
public to be looked up to by the peo-
pie of Europe and Asia as the moral
mentor and the efficient ideal for all
of them. The work of the men who
are honored upon Decoration day is
not concluded, will never be. Their
souls move majestically onward with
the movement of the race, of the age,
of the universe. Some day there will
be general roll call, when those who
have deserved we'll of mankind will
pass in the review of the eternal ages.

ored upon Decoration day will not

glorious and peaceful, with undimmed
vision and with unshaken faith in
their primary principles. the Ameri-
can people are one in heart and one
in spirit in their purpose to have the
illustrious ideals of the nation made
increasingly glorious for the blessing
of mankind.
1t is easy enough after a war has
been fought to prove the uselessness
of it. 1t has often been shown how
the difference between the north and
the south might have been adjusted
with such terrible waste of life and
treasure. Grant that within the de-
vices of political expediency these
preventions were possible, the fact
still remains that the wars were
fought, that great moral faults were
purged, and the God of battles en-
forced his ancient law of eye for eye
and drop of blood for drop Of blood
Children are always bearing the
faults Of their fathers, and the men
and women Of go to '65 poured out
of their own veins and out of their
own souls an equal portion of blood
and misery that their fathers drew
from the veins of an enslaved race
No moral debts long remain unpaid.
What If the purging was drastic
and the throes suffered by the war
ring elements brought 1t staggering
to its knees, was not the cleansing
complete? The nation stands today
the stronger and the sweeter for that
conflict.
AS the day Of that conflict ever re-
cedes, and the din grows less stri.
dent to the ear, its better significance
makes itself felt. The broad page of
history teaches lesson that partici.
patton In the actual war itself might
not have taught.

dency of mankind is to seek to have
the fame of the great ones equal in
duration with their bestowing upon
their fellow-men. There is one day
for the American people that stands
alone in solitary grandeur, separated
IN the high flights of glory that en-
circle it. isolated, yet majestic, in the
pathos which will ever attend its
celebration. That day Isl Decoration
day. In these times, when the peace
pipes are as soundful as the pipes of
Pan, when the bugle is becoming

times, when the progress of mankind
appears to be set toward the fulfill
ment Of the far-off prophecy that
swords shall be turned into plow-
shares and spears into pruning hooks,
it is well to lay emphasis upon the
day that has the most distinctive
glory of any peculiarly American
holiday. The glory of Decoration day
is that 1t holds in national hallowing
the mighty deeds of brave men. Their
deeds will be immortal, who fought
not because they had spleen toward
their brethren-now united in the
bonds of a common home. endeavor
and destiny-but because they saw a
shattered nation wrecked upon the
shoals Of sectionalism. They will be
immortal because the tendency OF
mankind is to have the fame of the
doers of great deeds conterminous
with the benefits conferred. The ben.
eflts will be everlasting and augment.
