Abraham Lincoln once said, away
back in 1897:
From 1777 to 1870 long years

are all gone, with few exceptions, and
the Nation is closing the door upon
the heroism of the past; and must
now turn and face, without this In
spiration, a future, which / cannot
know, and you cannot know. and only
God Himself can foretell."
So in 1923 we of this day and gen.
Grafton have thrived and grown great
for 60 long years in the visible pres
ence of the heroes Of 1865. Now the
heroes Of that time-and no finer.
smarter fighting men ever marched at
the double-quick-are bent and
stopped, tired by the long march, al
most ready to break ranks for the
last bivouac.
But for the next 60 years of the
nation there is a new heroism-the
heroism of the boys In Khaki. May
the coming generations thrive and
grow great in their visible presence.
May their visible presence be as In
spring as that of the men of 1776 and
the men Of 1861!
"The Hottest tribute we can bestow
today-the heroically earned tribute
fashioned in deliberate conviction,
out of unclouded thought, neither
Swallowed by remorse nor made vain
by fancies, Is the commitment of this
Republic to an advancement never
made before" said President Harding
at the burial of the unknown Dead"
at Arlington. IF American achieve
ment is a cherished pride at home, If
our unselfishness among nations is all
we wish it to be, and ours is help
full example in the world, then let us
give our influence and strength, yea,
Of our aspirations and convictions, to
put mankind on a little higher plane,
exulting and exalting, with wars dis
tressing and depressing tragedies
barred from the stage Of righteous
civilization"

NAME LINKED WITH ROMANCE
French Woman Will Be Remembered
for Poetic Festival Which She
Instituted in Middle Ages.

Clemence Isaure was a lady Of
Toulouse, France, celebrated for her
learning. She instituted the floral
games in that city, when flowers were
bestowed on successful competitors.
She was born in 1854. When she was
a young girl the one romance of her
life began. A young troubadour fell
In love with her and sang songs to
her in which their names were linked,
She replied with flowers, whose mean
ing her lover could easily interpret.
He was killed in battle, and Clemence
resolved to take the veil. Before do
ing so, however, she renewed the
poetic festival and as prizes distrib-
uted among the victors the five diff.
ferent flowers, wrought in gold and
silver, with which she had replied to
her lover. The floral games were con-
tinued for 500 years.-Detroit News.

Time, they say, heals all wounds.
1t is well that 1t does. But time, also,
grasses memories. And this is not
so well. Time should not be allowed
to entice us away from the music of
the boisterous drum and silver voice
of the heroic bugle" of the days of
1865. American citizenship came
out of the crash Of combat, not only
unscathed and unblemished, but also
enriched and glorified, and it was for
that very citizenship the war was
fought.
The Spanish-American war was a
short war and soon over. But 1t was
a tremendously important war for all
that. This war put the American
Navy on the Seven Seas to stay. 1t
made the United States a world-power
over night. 1t was to the world an
object lesson that the American of
1893 was still the same old fighting
man Of 1776 and 1872 and 1848 and
1861.
And 1t was In this war that the
Blue and the Gray first blended into the
Khaki. When Miles and Wheeler
fought under the Star-Spangled Ban
ner and drove the blood-red flag of
Spain with it's yellow heart from Its
last staff in the Western Hemisphere,
the way was clear for complete recon-
Citation between the North and South.
One day in 1898 a great transport
of the United States, bearing 1000
dock in the Hudson river for the Phil
ippines. This great ship turned north
instead of south and steamed slowly
up the Hudson to the tomb of Grant.
And then a mighty salute was given.
When the Grant memorial was dedi-
Gated in Washington it was veteran
! in Gray who flung out the Flag and
said: "He gave us this!"
No more reverent homage is paid
at the tomb of the unknown Dead"
in Arlington than by the Gray veterans
Of 1865.
Said President Harding last month
at Augusta-and remember that it was
through Georgia that Sherman
| marched "from Atlanta to the sea-"
ST believe the framing of the
Constitution was inspired; believe it
with Gods intent, and yet there was
an ambiguity in this Constitution that
brought the North and South together
in great civil war, and that ambiga-
ity had to be wiped out at great costs;
and yet, again, this is one of the best
things that has ever happened to the
American republic, because it has
brought us to greater understand

Again shall we see the aged forms of
the veterans who fought under Grant
and under Lee, under Sherman and
Stonewall Jackson; under Sheridan
and Stuart.
And do not let time dim for you the
martial glories of their battles. For
there is more to Memorial Day than
smiles and tears and tears and smiles
for the Blue and the Gray.
The United States of America does
not go around with chip on shoulder.
But you know, and know, away down
deep, that we Americans are the most
warlike people on this earth, and the
most desperate in battle. The Stars
and Stripes has never yet trailed in
defeat
Yes, there was fighting at Belleau
Wood and at Chateau Thierry. But
there was fighting at Gettysburg and
Antietam, too. Read these lines by
the laconic Grant, who never wasted a
word, and saw things as they were, in
his chapter entitled Battle Of the Will
derness":
"At $40 in the afternoon Lee at
tackled our left. His line moved up
to within a hundred yards Of ours
and opened heavy fire. The
enemy pushed through our lines, plant
ing their flags on part of the In
trenchments not on fire. /. Fight
ing had continued from FIVE in the
oil hn Uhn1n
line, at other times only in places.
The ground fought over varied in
width, but averaged three-quarters of
a mile. The killed, and many of the
severely wounded of both armies lay
within this belt. where 1t was practi-
cally impossible to reach them. The
woods were set on fire by the bursting
shells and the confiagration ragged. The
wounded who had not strength TO
move themselves were either suffo-
Gated or burned to death. Finally,
the fire communicated with our breast
works in places. Being constructed of
wood they burned with great fury. But
the battle still ragged, our men firing
through the flames until it became too
hot to remain longer. Lee was now
In distress. -. During the night
all of Lees army withdrew within
their intrenchments."
Let us give full need of honor to
the survivors of those heroic days.
For soon there will be no survivors
either in Blue or Gray. Consider the
story that comes from Bradford, Pa.
Because only eight Of the 134 Civil
war veterans who made up Encamp-
ment No. Z, Union Veteran legion,
are still living, and only three of this
number are able to leave their homes,
the roster has been presented to the
Mexican County Historical society for
preservation. The encampment was
made up of veterans who focked to
Bradford with the discovery of oil
soon after the close Of the war. They
represented more than 100 regiments
and most of them had been wounded
in action. New York contributed Al,
