Strategic Principles.

Principles were never created. They
always did exist Truth and error are
co-evil and opposed to each other.
Truth liberates; error enslaves. Truth

We now come to behold the CEN

derstand the logic of events and was
able to coordinate into coherent
statement the effect which suuattsr
sovereignty and state rights would
have ultimately in the destruction OF
the union. Because OF his arguments
he was able to incorporate an idea
which stirred the hearts of men with
the fire of patriotism and when Fort
Sumter had been fired upon and the
president had issued his call, they
came from the four quarters OF the
earth to respond and to defend the
nation.
This man seemed to be destined to
be the burden bearer of the nations
sins. In his own great heart he COM
pretended the sorrow and the travail
of the nation, but he stood, under

great providence who rules the des-
TIMES of men and nations. Linked to
divine purpose this man stood I'M

He saw the broken ranks of defeated
armies in panic from Bull Run. He
heard the impatient plea of the people
for Mcclellan to move against Lee.
He beheld many of the reactions and

The Growth of Slavery.

But while the revolutionary heroes
We're producing this instrument, ex-
pTessive of human liberty, there ex-
listed at the same time an institution
which was destined to menace the
very life of the Nation 1t was the in
stitution of human slavery. The cava-
lier had maintained his right to hold
in subsection men and women to serve
him. They did his work; they titled
his feds; they produced his wealth,
they brought him luxury. and as the
country grew in population and infiu-
ence, human slavery became com
mercia, enterprise of such vast re-
sources as to be the chief asset of the
South. With this development came
an irrepressible conflict between slav-
cry as an institution and the Consti-
tuition as human instrument. It
now became a question of the North
against the South; and southern
statesmen, with provision and adroit
State craft, undertook by legal en-
actment TO incorporate slavery rs one
OF the nations social forces. Cal
houn, in the Senate, burns life out in
trying to perpetuate this Institution
which had been condemned ty the
eyolutions OF the North, as a crime
and national disgrace. Robert Hayn,
in the United States Senate, in 1880,
had so elequently and adroitly argued
for State rights that he threw the
Senate into CONSERVATION, and it was
doubted whether there was a man
who would be able to answer him. II
was crisis in the history of our
Government, but as the emergency
came, the man arose. and Daniel Web
ster. prophet, had been preparing to
answer Hayn in one of the greatest
arguments for the perperuation OF the
Union that ever fell from the lips OF
man. So, wave upon wave. and surge
upon surge, like mighty ocean, slav-
cry beat upon the impregnable rock.
the Constitution And upon the place
where these two seas met, the ship OF
State strained her cables. and 1t was
doubtful whether she would rot break
upon the rocks of decentralization.
In 1850, Henry Clay, the great pa
cifcator, came forth with his comDro-
mise which stayed for a while the
tide OF war which was seen to be rap
idly rising. But the evolution of lib
erty, with its great apostles of the
past, such men as Moses. Isaiah, Soc
rates, SayonarolG, Luther, Cromwell
and washington, left no uncertainty as
to what should now come to rass.

/ find myself happy, indeed, to have
conferred upon me this distinguished
honor by the veterans of the civil war
and the citizens of this splendid
American community.
The history and traditions OF your
beautiful city, the story of its de-
velopment, the honorable and patriotic
citizens, living and dead, and the in
fluence which it has exerted both up
on the state and nation form fas-
cinating story indeed. And in keep
ing with its ideals of the past, it
has taken its place as one of the great
strategic commercial centers of the
Mississippi valley, and is today the
focal point of the eyes of the civiliz-
ed world. The cyclopean engineering
feat accomplished by which the
omnipotent father Of waters turns the
shafts and spindles of multitudes of
factories and industries assuredly
makes Keokuk "a city set en- a hill
which cannot he hid' Rich in the
lore of the Indian. pioneered by men
and women of courage, whose DOM
1nant characteristics were virtue and
faith. it is little wonder that this city
has contributed SO generously to the
evolution of the great American re-
public. In art, literature, industry and
state craft, you have a proud inherit
ance, and the patriotic ideals of the
founders of this community are re-
flected today in the loyalty, devotion
and honor in commemoration OF this
occasion.
The Sacred Day of the Year.
The sacred day of the year is here,
and we tenderly and lovingly come to
remember the deeds of heroism and
sacrifices made that the union might
be preserved. 1t is a day dedicated to
the memory of the sorrow and travail
of great nation; day when somber
reflection resurreets and enshrines
the patriot sons and daughters of a
generation ago. 1t is the hour OF
Imagination, when called from the
halls of memory they pass in review
those friends and comrades of ours
who made the one great sacrifice that
the union might live. They saved our
nation in its hour of peril, and per-
netuated to unborn generations the
heritage of freedom.
We shall stand today with uncover
ed heads beside their resting places
in the dust. We shall strew flowers
upon the land and upon the sea. Many
of us will shed tears of sorrow ming
led with tears of JOY. 1t is the high
est mark of our civilization that graft
tude should remember and humbly
and lovingly come to the common
shrine to renew our devotion to those
civil institutions which were made
possible by their sacrifices,

CONFERENCES
IN WINDHAM COUNTY
County Agent Ready to Meet Groups
Of Farmers and Show How Old
Orchards May Be Made to Pay.

When a man sets out a young apple
orchard he expects to wait from eight
70 2 years before he will have any
returns from his investment. He must
run the risk Of damage by storm, in
sccts, deer ana changes in market, and
still the young orchard is considered
first rate investment.
To the average farmer in Windham
county, the apple proposition presents
itself IN a different way. He has full
grown trees of good variety which
are now masses of matted and dead
limbs, and which produce barely
enough first class fruit to pay for
picking.
The old apple trees, if they are not
too far gone, can be easily renovated,
and it will not be necessary to wait
eight or 10 years for the cost of the
time and labor to come back as III the
case of young orchard. 1t is simply
necessary TO prune and spray and fer
tilize.
With this thought in mind pruning
conferences are being arranged
throughout the county where just q
few viii get together in some neigh
bor's orchard. The county agent viii
pruuc up two or three trees after the
methods followed by the best apple
growers, and other practices will be
talked over. These little meetings
where ncighbors drop in with their
working clothes on and feel free to
give their own opinions or ask those
Of others are just as important as the
big meetings with the lectures.
With the right care, our Vermont
apples viii bring top prices. and every
YEAR secs more buyers coming to Yer
mont from Chicago, Milwaukee and
other middle West cities. Vermont
apples are preferred because they have
the color and the flavor. and a keeping
quality that no other section can even
match.
