Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-05-30

In his Memorial day address this
morning at courthouse square, Rev.
T. F. Newland, pastor of the First
Methodist church, said:
Memorial day, with its sad and
sacred memories, has come again.
And as each new one makes its ad-
vent. we recall anew the great and
tragic events that have occasioned
the observance of this day. Time in
its rapid fight has borne us on till
we are half a century from the great
Civil war. 1t is meant that those who
have sacrificed and died in the strug.
gle, or who sacrificed and have since
died should be remembered and hon
ored for the invaluable service they
have rendered their country and hui
menity 1t is we'll tina. the graves of
the dead are decorated with flowers
and wreathes of laurel and the mem
DRY of their noble deeds revive: anew
in oratory and song.
One must stand away from the
mountain if he would behold its mag
! nitude. Time is necessary in the
analysis of great events. At this dis
lance we see magnitude. This was
war on a colossal scale. There were
giants in these days who did gigantic
/ things. The history Of heroism holds
no more thrilling story than that
which is given in the records of the
/ Civi. war. Every battle, every i1Ei-
dent, of every other war can be ne re
: than duplicated by the men of the
sixties, who have added new mean
/ ing to patriotism and martyrdom
! This prosperous generation, which is
now threatened with effeminancy

They built bridges, launched vessels
constructed pontoons, repaired wea.
pons, constructed and operated rail-
road and telegraph lines. Charging
through a country, they could create
a desert with one hand, and in an
hour with the other hand reconstruct
the whole civilization. In the univer-
sity of the world they have beer
among its greatest teachers. You can
not overestimate the value of such
men. They are priceless. Civilizations
are but the sum of the products of the
greatest thinkers and the greatest.
workers. Monuments, books, archt-.
lecture, invention, all are but the
crystalized deeds of greatness. The
deeds which they did are among the
mountain peaks of history. They
have written new chapter in the
record of heroes. They rest on
flames eternal camping ground.
! The war is over and a brighter day
has dawned upon our republic. Over
the canon's mouth the spider weaves
his web. The tattered flags are now
| hanging upon the walls of fame. Our
country revels in luxury and rejoices
in peace. The bloody chasm has
been pontooned and the nation is
one" There are no geographical
! lines. We recognize no measurement
of latitude or longitude. The new
spirit of patriotism Is spontaneous
outgrowth of the seeds OF liberty
sown in the sorrows of war. Com
merce has assumed a new solidarity
and compels international arbitration;
