81 have been President of the United
States a little more than two years,
and 1 have never heard more cordial
expressions, more generous tenders of
cooperation, more earnest wishes for
the good fortune of the republic than
those which have come from the states
of the South, and which are not in
party sympathy with the administra-
ton"
Abraham Lincoln once said, away
back in 1887:
From 1T77 to 1870 long years
the Nation has thrlved and grown
great In the visible presence of the
surviving heroes and herolnes of the
Revolution, the very sight of them in
spring us. But now, in 1887, these
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 1 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 1S61-5. Now the
heroes of that time-and no finer.
smarter fighting men ever marched al
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.

at Arlington. ''If American achieve

are placed upon the graves of those
who fought on both sides Of the war
between the states. This day, though
1t had it's origin in the memories Of
that war when the rancors Of civil
strife had not subsidized, Is now truly
national service. The healing of that
breach is most surely made manifest
by the association of the representa-
tives of both sections in the cere-
monies that take place In all parts Of
the country.
The United States has become the
stronger, the more surely a union of
interests and the object of the high
est wishes of men of all parts and
states and sections because of the feel
ings that are each year on Memorial
day given expression in the places of
public assemblage, in orations, in mu-
sic and in the impressive observances
at the graves of the dead.
Growing in significance year by year,
participated in more generally by the
people of all the states, with a longer
list of Americans who have given all
they had for the nations sake and for
their ideals of America, Memorial day
becomes one of the bulwarks of the
nation. 1t is an inspiration to youth
as it is solace to the elders.-New
York Sun.
The Colorado statesman., 1923-05-26

How sleep the brave who sink to rest
BY all their country's wishes blesti
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
By fairy hands their knell is runs;
By forms unseen their dirge is sung,
There Honor comes, = pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their
clay;
And Freedom shall awhile repair
To dwell a weeping hermit there.
William Collins.

This story is told of an Irish lawyer
named Keller who was famous for his
native wit but who. partly from indo-
ience and partly from a frivolous dis
oosition. did not succeed particularly

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
1S61-5. American citizenship came
out of the crash of combat, not only
unscathed and unblemished, but also
enriched and glorified, and 1t 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 world-power
over night. 1t was to the world an
object lesson that the American of
1898 was still the same old fighting
man of 1776 and 1912 and 1913 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 Its yellow heart from its
last staff in the Western Hemisphere,
the way was clear for complete recon-
ciliation between the North and South.
One day in 1898 great transport
of the United States, bearing 1000
American soldiers and sailors, left a
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 1S61-5.
Said President Harding last month
at AuSuSta- anu lellelhoei that IL was
through Georgia that Sherman
marched "from Atlanta to the sea-"
81 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 n great civil war, and that ambigu-
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 1t has
brought us to greater understand
ing.
~ want to say now, l don't believe
there is vestige of the Civil war feel
ing left in the United States. l spoke

The Colorado statesman., 1923-05-26


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 mt 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 VIII
derness":
AT 10 in the afternoon Lee at
tucked oar left. His line moved up
to within a hundred yards of ours
and opened a heavy fire. The
enemy pushed through our lines, plant
ing their flags on part of the In
trenchments not on fire. Fight
fng had continued from five in the
morning, sometimes along the whole
line, at other times only in places.
The ground fought over varied in
width, but averaged three-quarters of
q 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 conflagration ragged. The
wounded who had not strength to
move themselves were either suffo-
Gated or burned to death. Finally,
lhe 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 1t became too
hot to remain longer Lee was now
I'm distress. During the night
all of Lees army withdrew within
their intrenchments."
Let us give Gull 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 1874 Civil
war veterans who made up Encamp-
nent 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 fiocked 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

GETTING PHEAsANTs
N'Vel Way of Securing Birds for the
0's Knights of PNhian's Feed
at Meeting Tonight.

The knights of Pythias are n,tt,,.
on a big pheasant feed at their ba,1
'onisht and in order to secure enough
OF the birds to feed the members ona
families and friends made it a noint
10 see that all of the members brought
IN some of the birds.
One certain individual sailed forth
ana IN going through a corn field
caught a glimpse of a big bird a few
feet ahead He shouted and gestured
to get it to fly but the bird preferred
the ground to the air so the nimrod
started running after him and final,
caught him by the tail feathers
The bird objected to this procedure
but still refused to fly. By this time
the nimrod was mad and throwing
his gun to the ground started to
chase the bird amid the laughter of
his companions. He finally caught
him and wrung his neck.
Another nimrod catching sight of
a large bird in cornfield blazed
away and killed a Plymouth Rock
rooster. His friends are still joking
him about being unable to tell the
difference between a Plymouth Rock
chicken and a pheasant.
However, enough birds were Sc
cured to make a good feed tonight.
