 ''She is paid a miserable salary for exposing herself five days a week to indecent and unsanftary Y conditiona which 1eopardize or end herf life.

The Penn's Grove record., 1913-05-30

the first marked instance of a large
movement to honor the dead who had
fallen in battle may be said to have
been sounded at Gettysburg, when, on
November 10, 1863, the national GENE
terry there, on the field where thou
sands had fallen on both sides, was
formally dedicated.
That occasion was one of those sim
pie events which few of those present
looked upon as anything more than a
mere formality, but which have in them
the seeds of a great popular movement.
There, too, was delivered that address
by President Lincoln which, for its con-
which the times of strife were still pro-
viding with incidents, remains I'M
equaled in it's quiet majesty, it's simple
language, in the whole range of Eng
fish literature.
The shouts Of joy at the surrender
of Lee had scracely been lost on the
winds until the news of the assassina-
ton of Lincoln spread dismay through
out the nation, south as we'll as north.
The funeral services over the martyred
president, and the professions and the
lyings-in-state in the cities through
which the funeral train was taken.
aroused in a new sense the idea OF
tribute to the fallen. In a certain
sense the death of Lincoln at that
time may have fastened the sentiment
which finally took shape in Decoration
day. There Immediately were projects
for monuments to the great emancL
pator, and the general tendency was
towards the debt owed to the fallen
soldier and his best friend.
