Also seats for sightseeing buses at the

25 cents a seat. All applicants are to
meet at Camp Emery not later thah

Several of the departments will have
with them their mascots or war tro-

The Can;tal's Welcome to the G. A. R-1865-l9l5

Hail. cherished monuments of days gone by
The milestones of our progress in the past!
Your setting your images throws high
peaks glory that will hold them fast
We think of you again as boys.
AS when you marched along the crowded street,
And winged with ecstacy your springing feet.
What visions you had then when homeward bent
The sweetheart waiting for the fond embrace;
The freside group that love radiance lent
That clothed with beauty every form and race;
The future days. engrossed in arts OF peace;
The grand ambition for useful life:
The hope of wealth's and honors due increase;
The blissful rest from days and nights of strife.
All these seemed promised for your due reward,
AS bands rang out a thrilling joyous strain
Your honors due; not for your feats of sword,
But for your fervor for your county's gain;
Your tender of your lives, at duty's call:
Your zeal in ranks. when guard, alone;
Your love of your dear flag, as best of all
The banners that this world has ever known.
We love to think your visions have come true.
We know what dear country to you.
In peace well when you faced the shot
Your steadfast industry; your noble thought;
Your efforts for the newborn nations fame.
We the glory that your hands have wrought
And love you for tireless, lifting aim.
Your children and their children call you blest.
And proud are they to think all their own;
And when your westward sinks down to
The stars of love shall light you the Throne.
God bless you all. and bless that flag. bright
That you have lifted high in war and peace;
And may it hoat with ever-growing light
10 lead to blessed days when wars shall cease

would that the nation had done unto
them in the times that are gone.
But the strongest hold of the capital
upon north and west-upon patriotic
Americans everywhere-arises from the
fact that it embodies the national idea.
Washington was brought into being as
peculiarly and exclusively the home

of selecting as the capital an existing
city of some state. the nation deter

that the capital should be permanent
and that the grand design on paper OF

the capitalization Of the national idea; :
it was the substantial embodiment OF
the abstract Union, the materialization
of a power superior to that of the
state. 1t owes no divided allegiance to
