The Day Of Memories

and hamlets. the surviving veterans still taxing

It Ia they who have made the arrangements for
the ceremonies; they will go early to the ceme-
teries and place blossoms upon the graves OF
their brother soldiers; they will constitute .
pathetic and inspiring feature Of the parade.
Some day they will not be here to plan and
execute for Memorial day. Some day they all
will have gone into camp on the plains and In
the cities Of the dead Some day a grateful
public will look In vain for any OF them in the
parade. Then, what? Will the day and its beauti-
full, patriotic customs that were so dear to them,
cease to be remembered and observed? Were
that question submitted to the people today 1t Is
certain that the votes against remembrance and
observance would be too few for enumeration.
The soldiers have led the way; they have shown
the people how to plan and execute for a sue

not a few but thousands Of deeply interested par
Elephants All Of the patriotic societies that have
grown out Of the Civil war are among them, and
their members are numbered by the tens OF thou

come into existence as a rsult of the revolutionary
war, the war OF 1872, the war with Mexico, the
Spanish-American war and the Philippine insur-
rection. And these are not all. Millions OF men

schools. would forbid suspension OF Memorial

Yet when one takes into consideration the

the average life of the old soldiers has been a
