though II be, but in action ae'erthe
less, the duties which the days bring
forth, be they those OF the problem OF
individual life or those which the com.
mon veal and affairs OF state present.
The glow of patriotism will animate
the soldiers of the Republic to uphold
its traditions and its honor II will
sustain the citizenship OF the land to
patient endurance of all needful sacri.
fees and to the highest conception of
civic duty to the state
The intense realization Of common
and great responsibility which has
come to all classes, the growing reality
Of common sacrifices and self-denial;
the shadow Of impending common
griefs and heartaches-these will bind
all together In ties of kindredship and
in fealty to land and common W. alth
whose depth and power no other gen.
Grafton has witnessed from Yorktown
down.
At such time. when the voice Of
partisan rancor and vulgar political In.
trigue will have silenced, and when
sentiments OF unselfishness and high
regard for ideals of government and
of law, OF living and of life, are asway
in the bosoms Of the people, the mat.
ter Of framing new charter of>guid-
ance and Of government for the com.
monwealth would at once challenge
the interest and receive the thoughtful
attention of the people with an appeal.
ing force. and certainty Of worthy
response.
The presence Of this all-pervasive
and dominant spirit OF patriotism that
will be seen In Tennessee next year,
as now, will be an evident and ample
assurance that convention to con.
struct new c0nstitution--subject to
the final endorsement or rejection OF
every act by the sovereign and observ.

representatives Of the finest manhood
the highest character and the ripest
wisdom Of the state, great body of
men of thought and faith and purpose
and ideals, building in serious pres.
ent for a widening future.
