NEED OF AGE IS TO LIVE FOR NATION
INSTEAD OF FACING CANNON'S MOUTH

of the World Our principal weak
ness may be in our great strength.
And as history repeats itself, We must
guard against a downfall.
1t has bsen said that most men
have found it harder to live for their
country than to die for it, and that to
live through months and years of
steady and exacting labors in obscur-
ity, without excitement and without
conspicuous success, honestly, cheer
fully and courageously, is far more
difficult and more valuable discipline
than to plunge forward, in the exhiler-
alton of battle, under admiring eyes,
to a glorious death.
Nevertheless it is up to US of the
younger generation to teach. preach
and live for the things that our
fathers shot for to keep alive the
patriotic spirit that caused the Amer
lean citizen to volunteer his services
when needed. To cultivate more
general respect for the fundamentals
of the Republic as we'll as conserve
the virtues which have made US a
great people.
We should take warning from the
fact that one of the most powerful
organized bodies of women in the
western world is the Daughters of the
Confederacy, who, with their assoc
late bodies, number more than mil
lion souls. For years, they have been
busy teaching and training their child,
rem to remember and respect the
principles of a lost cause. For years
they have been trying to make GER
tain prophecy come true, namely, the
final declaration of Jefferson Davis
when he said: MY people will yet
win back by diplomacy, all they have
lost by the sword" l live firmly in
the belief that the patriotism Of this
united country will never allow that
prophecy to come true.
And now in closing, let me tender
to you at all times, the services of the
Sons of Veterans; and if we should
measure up to the responsibility OF
carrying on the good work, we would
discharge our duty fully, as any son
would to the father

EATON, Ohio. May so.-A feature
exhibition drill under the direction OF
Mrs. Robert Nohr, of Richmond, Ind,
was one of the most impressive fea
lures of the Memorial day celebration
in this city. The program rendered
here today attracted hundreds of
visitors to the city and was pro-
nounced one of the most successful
observances Eaton and Preble county
has ever experienced.
George w. Mannix, prominent at
torney Of Greenville, O.. delivered the
address. Honor was bestowed upon
the veterans who had assembled as
guests of the occasion and tribute paid
to the valor Of the men in blue as
we'll as the men in gray. who fought
so valiantly in the sixties.
Halt to Praise Veterans.
When our minds are busy with
thoughts of present day wars" said
the speaker, I'VE cannot fail to stop
our daily grind of business and worry
to pay a fitting tribute to the valor
of these men who made this country's
peace possible
ne commerce. C1uO OaQQ furnished
the music at the program which was
given at the school and headed the
procession to the cemetery where ad
ditional services were held.
The G. A. R., the w. r. c.. all the
school children and other patriotic
organizations in Eaton took part in
the program Several hundred school
children took part in the exhibition
drill on which they have been prac-
ticing for the past few weeks. This
was one of the m st pleasing features
of any patriotic celebration ever held
here.
All Schools Closed.
All the schools were closed and bust
ness houses closed their doors at noon
today. Observan' was more general
than ever before.
Special reference was made at the
exercises in memory of A. l.. Harris,
deceased, one of Eaton's most illus

compelled to learn by three years of
battle, slaughter, and defeat how to
subdue an adversary whose number
and resources were insignificant in
comparison with our own.
At the present time we are liable
to be confronted by an armament
which we are utterly unable to resist
and yet our house of representatives
with fatuous blindness will not see
the danger. 1t has cut down the very
moderate provisions of the senate bill
and refuses to give us either a suffi-
cient body of regular troops or ade-
qCate means of raising them, while
as to the citizen soldiery the provi-
sions for bestowing a bonus upon the
National Guard in the different states
is more like a political scheme of
pork barrel legislation than a genuine
effort to defend the country. To place
this citizen soldiery under any other
authority than the president of the
United States is not effective prepare
ton for national emergency
1t is our duty to improve this occa-
sion now and here by creating
public opinion which shall insist upon
higher standards of national duty in
our congressional representatives
And now single word to those of
our conscientious, but misguided
fellow citizens who are urging their
desire for peace as an argument
against proper preparation. I would
recall the language of our great war
governor, Oliver P. Morton, the most
illustrious of the sons Of Indiana, the
man who, above all others, was known
as the friend of the soldiers whom we
honor today. We heard then the same
cry that we hear now and the peace
which was demanded would have led
then, as it may lead today, to the ruin
of our country. Morton said in his
great speech at Rockville: Il love
peace as much as any man. It's sweets
are as delicious to my taste as to that

WILL ENDEAVOR TO INCREASE
 PAY OF FLAT POSTMASTER

Public spirited citizens of Flat are mak- ing an earnest attempt to have the com pensaton of Mrs. Chlttick as postmaster at Flat increased to a sum which will more nearly recompense her for the service per formed and the accommodations furnished. With this end i'll view they are circulating a petition calling attention to the meager allowance made by the department for the Flat postoffice, and recitng the cost of vari- ouS necessities of life here compared with those prevailing elsewhere, and suggesting a modest increase.
 The Flat postoffice, The Pioneer IS in formed, pays at present about S650 per year from all sources, and besides her labor Mrs Chittick furnishes the premises in which the office is located, as we'll as fuel light and other necessaries for the conduct of the office This is pitifully small sum in comparison with the service furnished. and all members of the community un- doubtedly will be glad to be of assistance in having it raised
 It is pointed out in the petition that, unlike the general run of postofices, the Flat office is kept open until midnight dur ing the mining season for the accommoda- ton of miners who are working in the hills and on nearby creeks, who often walk miles at night to secure their mail

A. NJ. Kilgore, recently Democratic can didate for the territorial legislature, was i'll the city during the week on business. MT. KiIgcre takes his defeat lightly, and Is very we'll pleased with the vote he received, even though it was not sufficient to elect He points out that he probably received in the neighborhood of 800 votes in the division, which Is pretty good considering the fact that he did absolutely no campaigning out side of his home district. MT. kilgore will have no time to lament over what might have been, however, as he has been awarded a contract for several thousand cords of wood for delivery to the Yukon Gold Com pany on Flat creek, and will set about or ganizing his camps immediately. He will cut the fuel on Caribou creek, and will in troduce a new aid to the handling of wood in this vicinity by installing a modern cat erpilar tractor.
