Stirring Address by Speaker Of
 the Day. Capt. John 4. OBrien

ton, from the ranks Of every religion, have come the brave hearts that dared risk everything in the name of haman liberty No nation so built could hope to endure. uttered the statesmen. But they were wrong. Though divided in ancestry they had very much in com mon. They respected themselves. II Was very easy to learn to respect each ether. They came shoulder to shoul- der in the great high resolve that they should build here a great temple of liberty and right. There would come a test. The diverse strains in their blood will divide them. was the cry of the statesmen. and again they were wrong. The test came without warn ing: it came like a flash of storm. when war made men throw down the challenge of insult and contempt. and people rose in an anger that made lurid the skies of the world. Every ounce of strength, every necessary sac rifice. instantly endured.
 And oh. my friends. the erystalliza- ion of America was wrought when the battle cry rang through the land and four million men gathered beneath their country's flag to answer it's call. There were no English, no Irish, no Scotch. no French. no Pole, no Jew. no Italian. But out of the theatre of the world came the American soldier beneath the American flag.
 When Battle Cry Rang Out
 And so, my friends, we come to per form the service of sacred love and memory of those We knew who died. Oh. that the bridge be a memory of nnselfish liberty. the liberty for which t came into existence. Liberty for which We fought. It does not mean the distribution of fruits of industries among the shiftless and incompetent. The liberty which is ours is freedom te come and freedom to go, live and labor Freedom in all things. but only so long and no longer than we respect the rights of all fellow men.
 The future may have it's problems. The eharlatan may be crying his wares with apparent success. but tell you. my friends, that the heart and soil of America is sound and can be trusted Let your hearts tremble. the color leave your cheeks. as you behold long lines of men with flags of red bearing "No God. no Country" but re- member this. that four million men vill never permit the destruction of that country nor the desecration of its lag New. my friends. We have heard She soldiers Good Night through these hills We have heard the echo of taps.

Tn keeping with the highest and noblest of its traditions. this town joins hands with it's state and comes to dedicate a memorial to those who gave their life fer their country. to set apart one place to be forever sa- cred to the brave heroic soldier dead On this bridge there comes and must ever come to the thoughtful citizens great memories of days that have gone, stirring recitals of heroism. thrilling memories of sacrifices. exalt= ed memories of service.
