or Us TO Make Sure Our Dead Did Not Die In Val

which is now the wonder the wod-his America of ours.
What matters it if weak craftsmanship has erred if
craven craftsmanship has thrown away great opportunity
if here and there the nvincble fraeS and passions OF
human nature have turned the nations feet from the
straight path of wisdom and righteousness?
The net result of these dead mems vaor and sac
ice is the most prosperous the most vigorous, the most
progressive and altogether the happest free people ever
grouped together under flag since the tides of tnn
began to rum And that is the sufficient reply to those
who question the worth of their sacrifices and the profit
with which they bargained with Death.
The flowers and blooms of the Spring rain down
today upon the narrow houses in which these valiant
dead take their final rest and that is well and altogether
fitting and the need of honor and gratitude due from
us who the heirs of all they bought with their lives
and the benefciaries of their vaor many famous
fields of battle.
Yet that need of blooms and blossoms is not their
full need of honor and gratitude the full payment of
our everlasting debt to them.
If we are indeed worthy to have received from their
dead hands the bhrgh of citizenship in this Republic
then abiding obligation is to that citizenship so
as to prosper and defend the rights and liberties of the
land and the people that dwell therein, and to ad
vance the good cause of human freedom wherever in the
world struggle and adventure their fortunes and their
lives for freedoms holy sake.
If false to that Obligation then we are false to
the dead ngrates to own brave fathers hankleSS
cpients of the bright and splendid gift which they bought
for us with their vaor, their endurance and their blood
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-05-30

with other forms but nevertheless in much the spirit
of the remarkable and beautiful and salutary Egyptian
CUSTOM we hold our Trial of the Dead.
All over the land-in great companies or in lonely
graves-seep thousands upon thousands of men who
died in the wars of the Republic.
Upon this Memorial Day they and their deeds with
them are summoned to appear before the judgment seat
of history, and we their witnesses.
Were their lives we'll ended?
Were their deeds good?
Do they deserve their lodgings in the inns of i'm
mortality?
Speak for us, once again." say these dead.
And we make answer: Their lives indeed well
ended their deeds indeed good they do greatly de-
serve their lodgings in the inns of immortality.
They paid great price that they might sleep in
those inns which on the road that from the past
the present and then through the ages of the ages
They bought with their youth and health and blood
of their hearts these beds in which they Sleep covered
with garands this day. covered with glory as with gar
ment every day.
They paid for their lodgings here in these quiet
of dreamess sleep at Lexington and Concord and
Bunker HILL in the fights of famous ships in 1872
at Buena Vista and Chapuepec at Bull Run and Fred
ericksburg and Chattanooga and Gettysburg and the
Wilderness; at Manila Bay and Santiago; at Chateau
Therry and the Argonne-n all the battles by land and
by that first made the Republic nation dedicated
to human liberty and afterwad propped and blded and
adorned that edice of riches power and free government
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-05-30

The sweetest flowers that any of us lay upon the
graves of the dead who died for sakes grow in the soil
of resoute and manly loyalty to all the duties of good
and honorable and vigilant citizenship.
Each one of us has in his keeping garden of his
own in which he grow those sweet flowers or can
grow weeds, just as he wills.
Happy and secure is this nation which has millions
OF men and women who from such gardens can gather
on each Memorial Day blossoms of duty to the land and
the folk well done, and who can proudly and gratefully
lay upon the graves of the dead the gaand of citizen
ship exercised honorably unseshy and with heart full
of devotion to the public veal and to the welfare and the
Liberties and the rights of all mankind
Let us resolve that we will so perform the duties OF
our citizenship.
Otherwise, if we shirk those duties if we neglect
those obligations, if faithless to our trust then
all these dead have died in van and all their sacrifices
and deeds are brought to naught
We wish that we could bring the true meaning of
this beautiful and moving Trial of the Dead home to the
heart of every one of you
Surely then the Republic would gather fresh vigor.
fresh strength, fresh splendor
And in their quiet bed, the sleepers beneath the
flowers would know that the verdict of time was theirs:
that they had died. not in van but for noble and precious
and altogether wonderful guerdon-the assured pema.
nence OF free government and the assured perpeity of
the institutions and the might and the renown of this
Republic which may God always keep safe in the hollow
of His Almighty hand! I.=f
