Two million of boys, averaging but
nineteen years Of age, went into the
Civil war to save the Union. And if
yCU had asked them what the Union
was few could have given better an
swer than that it was the thing they
were fighting for, an idea not to be
expressed in words symbolized by a
few stripes and stars.
Has there ever been time when
we did not stand the test? The time
when the American spirit came near
est to falling was 100 years ago when
New York would not join in signing
the Declaration of Independence and
Rhode Island refused for SO long to
rutify the Constitution. And when
/ read New York or Rhode Island pa
pers criticizing some of our western
states for lacking spirit because they
are not yet convinced that we need
military training for our boys, l just
turn back to the old school history
and ask q few disagreable questions
about the past.-Franklin X. Lane,
Secretary of the Interior.
