Man Who Carried Message to Garcia

tired, the man who carried the famous
message to Garcia" in 1898, during
the Spanish American war, will receive
belated recognition for bravery, Il
Senator Samuel F. Shortridge of Cali
fornia can bring it about The sena-
tor has received assurances from Sec
retary of War Weeks that he will take
up with the army board having iuris-
diction the granting of medal or OF a
distinguished service cross.
Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles
ordered young Lieutenant Rowan to
deliver message to Garcia" Discre-
tion, initiative and bravery were re
qnired. Rowan did not ask who Gar
cia was, where he could be found, or
how to get there. Instead he deliv-
cred the message to General Garcia,
in the interior of Cuba, where Garcia
with his little band Of patriots was
almost surrounded by Spanish forces.
Rowan knew that if the message were
intercepted by the Spaniards he would
be shot or hanged as a spy.
Garcia, heartened by the promise Of
aid from the United States. just en-
tering the war, with Spain, fought on,
and the foe was overcome.
Lieutenant Rowan was cited by
General Miles in dispatches to WASH
ington as follows:
"This was most perilous undertak-
ing, and in my Judgment Lieutenant
Rowan performed an act Of heroism
and cool daring that has rarely been
axcelled in the annals of warfare
Rowan later was appointed lieuten-
ant colonel of volunteers, and in 1905
was retired from the regular army

violent oppos ition, in spite of the vast
sums of money that were spent e
mould public opinion unfavorable e
the action, to take the first real stef
that has been taken thus far to super

did not wish to convey the impression
he was opposed to immigration but he
did oppose the coming Of undesiraDics
who come here simply and solely to
break down and destroy our institu-

In closing. Principal Dawson said
u have said that the great lesson
that these men of '6l taught us was
the necessity Of national unity. We
shau never be truly unified nation
while class strives against class. Our
fathers in their wisdom created equal
opportunity for all. To-day the poor
boy has the same educational advan-
tages as the richest. All the knowl-
edge Of centuries is his if he will have
ii. The road to wealth and to wis
dom is free in this land to all.
But in spite Of this equality, and
this spirit Of democracy, there is class
strife. When will all the forces of labor
and those of capital be able to see tnaL
they must work tpgether-that they
have common interest in maintaining
harmony and concord? Nowhere on
the earth does labor partake SO boun-
tifully of the fruits Of labor as here.
Nowhere is labor more venerated and
respected. Labor and capital have
each solemn duty to their country.
These men have taught us the les
son Of national unity, Of the futility
Of class rising against class. We nave
seen, in our short history that, if we
are to have peace and prosperity, all
classes must subordinate their pfi-
vate interests to the general welfare
of the country. We have solemn
duty BY our land Let all classes and
groups take to heart those words which
are forever craven on the hearts OF
men who fought and suffered during
the Civil war, Let us have peace
I'VE. should not forget those heroes
who are taking the torch from the
trembling hands of the veterans Of our
-ivil war. So long as America can rc
pond as she responded to the cry Of
Cuba, and so long as there
I the spirit which our boys showed in
France, all is well with America. Our
rational dangers cannot menace us so
ong as hero blood flows in our veins. |
Ne have but to hear our country's call, |
md we shall not be found wanting.
Let us 20 forth with the inspiration
i these soldiers of America strong
within our hearts. Let US look to it 4
hat we are. first of all. citizens worthy
t the land they have given and pre-
erved to us. Let us see to il that by
vord and by deed, we show them that

Il us keep the nation that they nave
