Under the head of Virtue-Liberty-
Patriotism on the program was the
following inscription: I'VE demand
the reading of the Bible in our schools,
not to teach sectarianism, but because
ii contains the purest code of morals
the world has eper known, the high
est precepts, the noblest gems OF
thought and the Hottest aspirations
of which the human heart Is apable.
This matter was also touched on by
DR.. Hayes in his address.
Speaking of chose who died that the
nation might live DR.. Hayes said:
Heroes Graves Unmarked.
There are over 100000 of our boys
now lying under the sod. The real
pity of all this is that nearly one
half of their graves are unmarked.
Mothers idols, sweethearts' hopes
and families support are now sleep
ing under mounds at the head OF
which there is a blank stone. That
Is war.
1--WE cannot hope to wipe out the
national debt to these men by assem-
bly'ng here tonight. All we are able
10 do is pay the interest on that debt.
When we think of these poor men
there are indeed few over whom does
not sweep a tidal wave of sorrow.
MARBLE slabs are erected TO the
dead of the Civil War. but such SCI
vices as we are holding here tonight
will remain after any material tribute
has eorroded and passed away. Why
was it that half-million Of people left
their homes and business and gath
cred in New York to see the seven
teen heroes of Vera Cruz being
brought home to a place on American
soil?
More Reverence for Flag.
THE principal of an undivided
union was fought for in the Civil
War. The issue was well and for.
ever settled. our nations flag today
is getting more reverence than it has
ever received before. In pubic
schools the principal is taught. and
when a flag is unfurled every hat Is
lifted and head bowed in respect.
when a so-called governmental
leader Huerta refused 70 pay revef-
ence to this flag: there was broad
and electric thrill. There was great
awakening of a desire to avenge TINS
insult and demand reparation."
The speaker closed with an appro-
pirate little vxerse which ended with
the words:
"And their furlough will last for
ever"
