STElNEMANN ENCOURAGED
EDITORIAL

The banks and postofiice are
closed today in honor of the nations
honored dead Flags are flying at
half-mast from the public buildings
and many other business houses.
More and more general is becoming
the solemn observance of the day set
apart by Congress in memory of
those who fought and died that their
country and its people might have a
fuller life. Not only, however, do
the people remember today the length
and breadth of the land those who
fell in defence of the Republic, but
those too who struggled so gallantly
aeains, overwhelming odds for that
which they believed TO BE- right. No
less to the veterans who wore the
blue is due credit than to those who
laid aside the gray to pick up the
threads of severed social and bust
ness intercourse in land laid waste
by devastating civil war. The South
was preserved to the Union in po-
litical way by the sacrifice Of veteran
Federals. but the indomitable cour-
age of the veteran Confederates
alone made the New South the pride
of united American people.
The lessons of the Great Rebellion
have been bitter ones and every citi-
zen feels today the need of trans
mitting the chastened spirit of the
survivors Of that great struggle to
posterity. Whatever of spiritual and
physical suffering or loss of treasure
has been counted is offset by the gain
in wisdom which brings moderation.
forbearance and brotherly love as
the deciding factors in every social.
political or economic problem of the
present and future.
II is not TO perpetuate the ancient
feud which grew out Of economic
stress that Decoration day is OBJ
served, but rather to remind the liv-
ing that vengeance belongs to no
man and that they who invoke the
might of the sword in passion bring
down upon themselves the searching
lightning of a just God.
