Memorial Day marks our recogni- tion of those who, from our national | beginnings, have deserved the most that the nation can give of gratitude and appreciation. It reminds us that in every generation, from Lexington to the Argonne, our valorous sons have well deserved the highest tri- bute that nation fortified, defended, preserved, could give them.
 "Whenever the demand has come, and wherever it may have called the sons of our proud land, it has always been answered. Though we have never been a militant or war loving people, there has been no time when Americans did not rise to the full measure of the requirements which national honor and national safety was the cause, the response was al ways insistent and decisive. When civilization summoned, and our sons were Cdll6u u .OlllSI SSdo anu ShlSS and soils, we saw the same prompt ness, the same zeal, the same devot- ion.
 "On this Memorial Day of 1921 we stand, we trust, very close to peace achieved to safety insured. May it be our common aim and purpose that in the coming years, our nations aim and policy shall be directed to make certain that there will be least need for national sacrifices, greatest gains of the stability, the permanence and the inspiring character of those insti tutions of liberty to which our nation has been dedicated" d."

pressed by Sen. Penrose to the le-

said Sen. Penrose, chat the coun-
try was IN a very bad financial stu
alton and hardly able to meet it's re-

ably would fall off TO a very marked
degree in the next fiscal year.
AT the same time I conced ed
that it was the duty Of the govern

that this is impossible"
