Chairman Hilles of the republican
national committee, reiterated today
his belief there would be no split in
the republican party. Hilles said he
based his opinion on the statement
of the progressive national commit
tee that progressives are willing to
join hands with republicans provided
the main principles for which the
progressives have contended are set
forth in the republican platform. He
believes that will be done.
SIN the event Colonel Roosevelt
had reason to feel himself and his
principles outraged and ran again on
the third ticket" said Hilles, it
would be hard to defeat Woodrow
Wilson"

INTERESTING PROGRAM

One Of the most impressive pre-
Bethel church was addressed by
County Attorney e w. McManus. last
night.
short gospel song service, after
(which Marjorie Holbert played
memorial selection on the piano. The
emancipation proclamation was read
by Lena B. Porter. After the choir
and congregation effectively rendered
shall We Gather at the River" and
Asleep In Jesus Rev. Butler COM
mented briefly upon the emanctpa-
ton proclamation, picturing what 1t
cost the nation to issue it, and what
was necessary upon the negros part
to maintain. and keep it unsullied.
Rev. Butler introduced Mr.. Nc
Manus, who after marking the
achievements Of the colored people,
thanked Rev Butler for the oppor-
tunity to stand up in q place dedicat-
ed to worship Of Almighty God, and
pay tribute to the dead Of all races
who so willingly sacrificed their
lives that all might have liberty and
union. The speaker said in part:
Address by Mr.. MeManus.
TT is altogether fitting that the
American people gather once a year
to do honor to the memories Of those
who sustained our institutions when
they were imperiled. 1t is peculiarly
fitting that the colored American
people observe Memorial day for
they received a special blessing from
those sacrifices. They were not
only guaranteed the protection Of a
united government, but were also
liberated from slavery.
Az evidence Of the mysterious
way in which Gods wonders are per
formed, the speaker explained that
the critical issue of the civil war, at
the start was the question OF the
right Of state to secede from the
union. While human slavery was a
powerful contributing cause OF the
doctrine Of notification that had
been defended by the south from the
earliest days had to be settled by
force. President Lincoln freed the
slaves as a war measure. He did it
largely to satisfy his own conscience.
There were many who opposed 1t,
even In the councils Of the north.
Although 1t was in measure Incl
dental, at the time, history records
the verdict that the freeing of the
slaves was after all the most momen-
tious result Of the great struggle.
The NameIess Graves.
In the various national cemeteries
in the country, there are more than
four hundred thousand soldier
graves, and one-half OF these bear
no inscriptions-the identity of the
occupants is unknown. A great many
of these graves are located in our
own National cemetery here at Keo-
kuk. The least we can do to show
our gratitude to those who died that
we might be free, Is to take day or
an hour each year and go out there
to the cemetery and participate In the
exercises in their memory.
The speaker referred to the part
played by negro soldiers in our var
!: ious wars from the revolutionary
struggle down to the present expedi-
l,tion into Mexico, and declared that
| they had always done their part In
defending our common country and
its institutions.
