NATIONS TRIBUTE
Decoration Day in the United
States SPrang From Spon-
taneous Desire to Do
Honor to the Heroes
Who Had Fallen


II Is not difficult to understand just
what that means. Here was dc.
termined war that had sent TO their
graves brave men from every part OF
the country. That meant that in every
large town and in many a village there
were men who went to the front who
never returned; many who did return
only to soon be borne TO their graves
at home.
The country was affected by the
sight. 80 many men wero caught in
the enormous bloody strife In this
Moloch's nav, that nearly all who re-
manned could point to the grave of one
that had fallen, who was either a rcla.
tive or a dear friend
The cost OF that struggle TO keep
the Union has, indeed, been put in dol.
lars. but the real cost, the lives lost
on both sides, places the sacrifice In
another light, and cannot be estimated,
for the sufferers were not only the
fallen ones, but those who remained ut
home and suffered, too.
Tho south, naturally, was most Sc
vorcly shaken, and suffered the great.
est loss, for the scene OF the carnage
and Of the greater part OF the destruc-
ton OF both lives and property lay
south OF Mason and Dixon's line.
Therefore 1t seems to have been poetic
justice that there. in the SOUTH
tho first steps should be taken TO an.
nually pay tribute to her fallen sons
who It must be remembered also were
brave men, and where there were, too
homes rendered desolate by tho loss Of
sons, fathers. husbands and brothers,
Within year or two the Union
troops had gained possession OF the
gulf sections OF the south, and 1t may
be said that II was in this section that
tho southern women first turned their
attention to decking the graves OF their
soldiers. The idea may DO said TO
have been spontaneous, and like many
another custom. may be said TO have
been instituted by public opinion in
several places at tho Same time. Ger
tainly It would be work OF much dif
ficulty to decide just where the custom
really originated in the south.
Spring visits the south full month
before Its first harbingers appear In
the north, and as consequence It be-

SO old that It's origin is lost In the

How long ago 1t has bean customary
to strew flowers over the graves Of the
dead may not be asserted with any

times OF civilization it has been Gus

LincOln'S
Gettysburg Address

EOURSCORE and seven years
ago our fathers brought forth
on this continent a new ration,
conceived In liberty and dedicated
TO the proposition that all men are
created equal.
Now We are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that
nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield
Of that war. We have como to
dedicate a portion Of that field as
. final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that
nation might live. 1t Is altogether
fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But, in larger sense, we can
not dedicate. we cannot conse-
crate. we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here have
con5ecrated II far above our poor
power to add or deuact. Tho
world will little note, nor long
remember, what we say here, but
It can never forget what they did
here. II Is for us, the living,
rather, 10 be dedicated here to the
uniinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. II Is rather for US to
be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before US; that from
these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to the cause for
which they gave the last full
measure Of devotion: that we here
highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died IN vain; that
this nation, under God. shall have
new birth Of freedom, and that
government Of the people. by tho
people, for tho people, shall not
perish from the earth.
