iconoclast viii ever arise who will
seek to tear down the monuments Of
the men who nodded the worlds des-
TIMES, 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 moderated by any change of ideas
as to the utility of warfare. Hence
the tribute paid the dead heroes Of
the nations strife will be a 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 it has been
painted and its horrors cannot be too
gravely set forth, but there is a pro-
found religion In the warfare that re-
constructs nation, that re-establishes
justice, that sets men free and liber-
ates the intellect from shackles that
fetter progressive thought and pro-
hibit the full expression of progress
sive conduct. The south Is blossom
ing today In its national fervor and
industries teen throughout its do
main. The north Is clasping hands
with all other sections in the move
ment of the American brotherhood to-
ward the highest pinnacle of lofty eth
les and serviceable achievement. The
organ roll of American sentiment is
heard with deep and resonant melody.

Sne or another walk of life The ten
dency of mankind is to seek to have
the fame of the great ones equal in

their fellowmen. There is one day

times, when the progress of mankind
appears to be set toward the fulfill
ment of the far-ofH prophecy that
swords shall be turned into plow-
shares and spears into pruning hooks,
1t is we'll to lay emphasis upon the
day that has the most distinctive
glory of any peculiarly American
holiday. The glory of Decoration day
Is that it 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 common home, endeavor
and destiny-but because they saw a
shattered nation wrecked upon the
slaoals of sectionalism. They will be
Immortal because the tendency of
mankind is to have the fame of the
doors of great deeds conterminous
with the benefits conferred The ben
Gifts will be everlasting and augment

having diminished glory when the
last of the soldiers of the nation shall
have passed away. will have even
more honor paid it. The growth of

destiny, the recession of seetionalism,
