venerated and Exalted.

Never before was there a Memorial
day when so few veterans OF the great
war needed the proofs given OF the
underlying loyalty, gratitude and de-
votion Of their countrymen- But never
was there a Memorial day when so
many Americana who never were sol
diers had need of paying this tribute
to the men who risked everything
and often lost all that the nation
might live in safety, power and glory
and go on to wider service to the
world, leading the march of mankind.
So the balance holds true. The
ranks of the heroes are thinned by
time. but the millions who reap
where they sowed and rejoice In the
fruits of their devotion and yalor are
a mightier host than ever. And In
another sense there is an unfailing
adjustment OF changing conditions.
There are fcwer survivors of the he
roic and terrible four years struggle
for the Union. but they are venerated
and exalted as they never were when
thei= ranks were fun and their num-
bers made them a great power in the
Affairs of the nation.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1915-06-02
LOVE AND DEVOTION

Again the thirtieth of May with its
food of memories both sweet and sad
Our national memorial day!
Who can fully grasp all that the day
Leans to our population OF 100000
600?
Though ne may have scanned the fu-
ture with view to divine what would
result from e plan he promulgated
for Memorial day ceremonies through
the order issued fcrty-seven years ago.
there is reason to doubt that Gen John
A Logan, then the third TO mold the
office OF commander IN chief Of the
Grand Army or the Republic. mad an
adequate appreciation of what the re-
suit wouIu be-of the rich and album
dant fruit the tree would yield
Certain ii is that the many thou
sands OF young men in 1868 fresh
from service to their country IN the
great war, who formed IN a thousand
cities and villages and marched 10
cemeterie1 TO lay floral tributes upon
the graves of their comrades, had no
thought that May 30 would become the
nations most notable day for opening
memory's book and recounting deeds
OF the past, for placing higher and
y higher value upon the results of
the great war whose many battles had
to be fought in order that the nations
life might be preserved.
While we still pay distinctive trib-
ute to the soldier dead, custom that
should never be abandoned, Memorial
day does more than that in these days,
and it WILL let US hope, continue to do
more as time passes. Each recurring
Memorial day adds to love for and de-
votion to country that is essential
There never can be an oyersupply of
such love and devotion. Efforts in that
che direction have paid million times
over for all of the trouble and expense
of Memorial day ceremonies the last
Az years; the cost of the parades. the
millions upon millions of wreaths and
potted plants, the addresses and songs,
the planting of flags at graves, the
patriotic services in thousands on
churches the Sunday before the day of
memories, the tens of thousands OF pa
triotic demonstrations and addresses
in public and other schools.
About the fondest hope that the sur
vivors Of the war have upon thea down-
hill journey o. life is that all of these
patriotic customs will continue.
Another beautiful and impressi re
custom has become notable, and is
moving in harmony with the Grand
Army custom Of strewing flowers upon
the graves Of its patriot dead. Multi
tudes, now, who did not use to do so,
go to cemeteries to visit the graves of
their dead, and leave blossoms to
show that they, too, have been re-
membered. ------s----.--..-.-e, -c's-''s-

FOR NATIONAL DAY
Plea Is Made That Memorial OBJ
servance Be Made Gen.
eral Throughout Country.

EoRTY-SEVEN years ago tender and
patriotic hearts first consecrated
one day to the tear and to the
laurel. The grass on the graves of
the blue and the gray had shown green
but two seasons after the close of the
great Civil war when the mournfui
duty of decking the last resting place
of the departed brave formally began.
Since that time the beautiful me-
mortal plan has expanded until now,
on the day OF the annual remembrance.
hundreds of thousands Of the living
place flowers on the hallowed mounds
of hundreds Of thousands of dead.
But it is a melancholy fact that
while the reverent custom has con-
stantly spread in observance, section
alism has attended the yearly remem-
brance. is the comment of Richard G.
Conover. Not in the way of narrow
ness of observance, FOR both in the
North and the South the graves of for
mer enemies have not been forgotten
in the local decoration. Blue and gray
alike have received their equal quota
of respect. It is in the deliberate set
ting apart of different memorial days
that the traces of sectionalism re-
main. A country united 1or half
century has not yet fixed a day of
common tribute to brave men who
died for a principle.
Time Ripe to Unite on Day.
With the coming OF the northern
Memorial day OF 1915 there also comes
from veterans and patriotic men and
women desire to unite in ono great
national holiday every year the task
Of honoring the Federal and Conted-
crate fighting men who have joined
the great majority.
That the time is ripe for the accom-
plishment of such fitting project was
evidenced at the half century reunion
of the blue and gray on the battlefield
of Gettysburg. There where they had
frantically sought to shed each others
blood fifty years before the grizzled
veterans, many on both sides clad in
the same uniforms, embraced, drank
from the same canteen and reposed at
night, shoulder to shoulder. under the
same tent
Any differences there might have
been remaining between the living
Federals and Confederates were then
and there forever banished. On the
same day North and South met to pay
tribute TO valor. In the same way 1t
is proposed now to have the blue and
gray, all over the country. mourned
annually on the same day.

GEN. MEADE'S RANK
Writer Thinks He Has Not Been
Accorded His Proper Place
by Historians.
BY J. A. WATRoUs.

Lieutenant Colonel .. S. Army CRetire0.
ElS great achievements, towering
II military genius, steadfastness Of
purpose and his natural and ac-
CURED ability successfully to handle
vast armies and win great battles,
never losing a great battle, placed
General Grant at the head of the long
list OF military heroes developed in
the Civil war. He viii hold that rank
in history for all time.
But what OF his lieutenants? II
has come to be common in speaking
Of few to give rank as follows: Sher-
man, Sheridan, Thomas and Meade.
Other distinguished characters follow,
but in this paper their names need not
b. recalled. Were Que to say that Maj.
Gen. George Gordon Meade should fol-
low the name of CRAM in enumerating
important characters in the army one
would endanger himself to a mob. But
would that be so far out OF the way?
The greatest single victory won dur
ing the war was achieved under the
leadership of Meade. Grant won no
single battle that would compare with
Gettysburg In importance and its In
fiuence in settling the mighty contest
Vicksburg, IN its influence, ranked
next 10 Gettysburg. Even Grant con-
ceded that the battle of Gettysburg
was OF vaster importance and had
greater influence In the work Of crush
ing the Confederates than that of
vicksburg. Sherman won no single
victory equal to Gettysburg. yet he
viii always be recognized as one OF
the greatest generals OF his age, and
Justly stands next to Grant Sheri-
dams victories, even the greatest OF
them. bear no comparison TO Gettys-
burg. Thomas splendid conduct at

Chiekamaugua and his great victory
at Nashville will always be regarded
as proof Of generalship Of an exceed
ingly high type. Yet they were not
such victories as Meade won at Gettys-
burg. under the most trying circum-
Observation-Disclosures "a depressing
almost as those under which Thomas
won his greatest battle. that of Nash
vile.
No one would suggest that the roll
be called in this way. Grant. Meade,
Sherman. Sheridan AID Thomas, or, as
| think II should have been called
from the start: Grant. Sherman,
Meade. Thomas and Sheridan. I am
only saying that which I hope viii
have some bearing in the future to-
ward giving to Meade the high rank
his superb services entitled him to-
the credit that Is his due.
