late yesterday afternoon spoke to a
large audience in the amphitheater at
Arlington. He told them that nation
should not look behind, except upon
such wholesome and stimulating rem
inscences as those of which yesterday y
was commemorative.
The President spoke as follows;
II have not come here today to de-

to take part in expressing the senti-
ment of this impressive day. 1t is
necessarily a day of "reminiscences.

Tribute Is Paid to Sailor Dead

Secretary Daniels of the Navy in his
address at the Maine memorial eSer-
cIses late yesterday afternoon al Ar
Iinston national cemetery. when ne
said il was the one attribute to wblrh
ever bod, Haiu homage

iearts. said the Secretary ourfSe

If You once doubted this truth thc

the unjust policies of his government.
The next hour another country is IN
arms against his motherland In the
supreme passion of being true to his
own opposition fades away and the
severest critic forgets he had ground
for censure
The speaker said II is not only the
sailor or tile soldier who received the
homage inspired by sacrifice. We think
oftenest of them when we gather on
these recurring memorial days, he
sa id. But it is not because they We're
soldiers or sailors we commemorate
their lives in stone or in bronze. 1t is
because sacrifice was incarnated IN

Exercises Late in Starting.

The exercises which followed those
ut the amphitheater We're more than an
hour late in starting. but this fact did
not deter those comprising, the large
assembly, who stood with bowed heads
during the entire ceremony.
As part of the ceremony Frank Bag
ley Daniels and Jonathan Worth
Daniels sons of the Secretary, and
nephews of Ensign Worth Bagley. the
first American officer killed in the Span
ish war. raised an ensign to the top of
the MAST. Fifty white uniformed sailors
manned the rigging of the mast.
An Introductory address was made
by acting Commander John McElroy,
who said, in part: 1T is one of the
inscrutab1e mysteries Of the universe
that no great good can come to hu
manitE without a proportionately rich
blood sacrifice. Even the priceless
boon of Christianity required the Di-
vine tragedy on Mount Calvary.
1T is allsufficient that the men in
whose memory and honor this shaft
is erected died in line of duty under
the flag. No higher honor can come to
amy American than to inscribe as his
epitaDh He died in line of duty under
the flag When man conSecrates his
manhood to the service of his country
he puts his fate in the hands of the
American, people He is to go upon
their MISSION and execute their VIII.
That his life may be sacrificed in so
doing is probability that gives
solemnity to his conservation.
''The President of the United States,
his Secretary of the Navy and other
chief officers of state nave honored this
occa sion with their presence. 1t is
emienently fitting and proper that We
take this opportunity opportunity
should be taken in every gathering of
Americans-to assure the President, in
the present great crises, as in tina t
brought about by the sinking of the
Maine, that we have the keenest ap-
probation of and deepest sympathy with
him in the mountainous responsibilities
forced upon him. We must not let this
opportunity pass without assuring him
of our instant, undivided and unquali-
fed support in whatever course he and
his constitutional advisers shall decide
to pursue. This duty of support to the
uttermost is particularly binding upon
u.s. former soldiers of the republic"

which are stimulating and wholesome.
and among those "reminiscences are
chiefly to be ranked the recollections
of days of heroism. days when great
nations found il possible to express
the best that was in them by the ardent
exercise of every power that was in
them.
That is what gives dignity to a day
like this 1t is not a day of regret; it
is not day of weakening memory. 1t
is day of stimulation. But. my
friends. these stimulating memories we
are sometimes apt to minimize because
we do not see the full significance OF
them. We are constantly speaking OF
the great war of which we think today
as war which saved the Union. and it
did. indeed, save the Union. but it was
a war that did great deal more than
that. 1t created in this country what
had never existed before-a national
consciousness. 1t was the time when
America for the frsi time realized its
unity and saw the vision of its united
destiny.
Lesson of Memories.
The solemn lesson of these memories
for US is not that we must be ready to
save the Union again, for there are
none among us WHO threaten its life. but
that we must see to it that the unity
then realized. the vision then seen. IS

~ amy lesson unless ii be the StIhula-
tlon to duty There is no stimulation
in any occasion If ii h. merely the pleas

arolor and courage OF hope. Greater
days lie before this nation than 1t ha S
even seen yet: and the solemn con-
seriousness of those who bear Office in
this time Is that they must make their
best endeavor to embody in what they
do and say the best things in the
United States

Nmety-Nine Former City
Employees Haze Money Due
Them Which Is Unclaimed

It is generally believed that every
man who gets a job with any govern
ment, whether city, county, state or
national, does so with the chief end in
view of drawing down the salary,
whether or not he does anything 10
earn it. With that idea in mind II IS
hard to believe that any man would
quit a government job without first
collecting all that was coming to him.
In the Ell Paso city hall, however, may
be found a list of 80 former employees
Of the city to whom are que sums rang
ing from 10 cents to $40 on wage
account the total aggregatinE $1678O,
which is carried as trust fund.
Judging from the names, most OF
those who failed to get their salaries to
the last cent. are MeXicans, though
there are a number Of names which
would indicate that their owners We're
Americans, while one. Flanagan,
would seem to mark its owner as being
at least of Irish extraction.
This particular trust fund IS good
deal Of nuisance to the bookkeepers
and accountants as it must be kept as
religioUsly as would another account
involving thousands of dollars and ls
about as valuable to the city as 90
cent bank balance is to one of the big
banks and involves just about as much
labor to keep track of it.
Most of the little balances are due
common labOrers who left their en-
plOyment under stress, in one form and
another and never bothered to go back
to the paw wagon to get their warrant
for the small amounts due them. 1t
can be had at any time upon Pressen-
tation of proper proof and 1t is that
feature of it which makes necessary
the careful bookkeeping in connection
with the account.
