Consequently, the drys in the Ma

effort in this State to prove to the
country that the man who aligns
himself with the vets is lighting his
pipe over an open barrel OF gunpow-
der.
There is likely to be a lull in
open political activities during the
summer, but the battalions will con-
front each other in the early au-
tumn. Then we shall see the sparks
fly. The attention of the whole

decaying memorial of another civil
ization which has crumbled, of an
other ideal which has failed, of an
other ambition for LIENS happiness
which has somehow gone away. We
feel, aye, in our hearts we know,
that ours is not to be that fate. We
believe that the torch will fame
more brightly in our hands, that we
will hold it safe and high aloft, and
that it's light will help, at least, to
point the way for humanity on the
path of safety and in the task of
building for all time.
Calvin Coolidge: Our country can
not exist on the renunciation of the
heroic souls of the past. Public SER
vice, from the action of the humblest
voter to the most exalted office, can
not be made a mere matter of hire
and salary. The supporters of our in
stitutions must be inspired by a more
dominant motive than a conviction
that their actions are going to be
profitable. We can not lower our
standards to what we think will pay,
but we must raise them to what we
think is right. 1t is only in that di-
rection that we shall find true pa
triotism. 1t is only by that methods
that we can maintain the rights Of
the individual, the sovereignty of the
states, the integrity of the Union, the
permanency of peace, and the well
fare of mankind. You soldier of the
Republic enrolled under her banner
that through your sacrifices there
might be an atonement for the evils
of your day. This is the standard Of
citizenship for all time. 1t is the
requirement which must be met by
those who hold public place. That
must be the ideal of those who are
worthy to share in the glory which
you have given to the name OF
America, the ideal of those who hold
fellowship with Washington and
Lincoln.

WHEN THE BOYS IN BLUE
ARE GONE

When the Comrades have departed,
when the Veterans are no more,
When the bugle call is sounded on that
everlasting shore,
When life's weary march is endeo'
when the camp fires slumber long
Who will tell the world the story, when
the Boys in Blue are gone?'
Who will tell about the marching from
Atlanta to the sea?
Who will halt, and wait. and listen,
when they hear the reveille?
Who will join to swell the chorus OF
some old Grand Army song?
Who will tell the world the story, Wnen
the Boys in Blue are goneT
Sons and Daughters of this Nation you
must tell of triumphs won,
When on earth our works are ended.
and the Veteran claims his own!
You must cherish dear "Old Glory ana
it's teachings pass along;
You must tell the world the story, when
the Boys in Blue are gone.
To that Flag, Our Country's Emblem
you must pledge allegiance new;
To it's Glorious, splendid mission, may
your hearts be ever true;
That the Nation be protected 'gainst in
justice and all wrong;
You must tell the world the story, when
the Boys in Blue are gone"
You must keep each star unblemished.
and it's stripes without stain,
You must take the Veterans places, and
repeat their roll of fame.
You must keep our Country's honor
and the Flag above all wrong.
I'VE" will trust you with the story,
when the Boys in Blue are gone.

FAMOUS EXPRESSIONS
ON MEMORIAL DAY

Following is a compilation of what
some of our recent Presidents have
had to say about Memorial Day. They
were compiled by the National Re-
public:
BENJAMIN Harrison: 1 have never
been able to think of the day as one
of mourning. have never quite been
able to feel that the half-masted
flags were appropriate on Decoration
Day. l have rather felt that the flag
should be at the peak, because those
whose dying we commemorate re-
joiced in seeing it where their valor
placed it. We honor them in a joy
Gus, thankful, triumphant commem-
Grafton of what they did. We mourn
for them as comrades who have de-
parted, but we feel the glory of their
dying and the glory of their achieve
ment covers all our great country,
and has set them in an imperishable
roll of honor.
William Mckinley: Blessed is that
country whose soldiers fight for it
and are willing to give the best they
have, the best that any man mas,
their own lives to preserve 1t be-
cause they love it. Such an army
the United States has always COM
manded in every crisis of her his
tory. From the War of the ReYolu-
ton to the late Civil War, the men
followed that flag in battle because
they loved that flag and believed in
yvbof II ranreSnnted
Theodore Roosevelt: Besides the
material results of the Civil War,
we are all, North and South, incal-
culably richer for its memories. We
are richer for each grim campaign,
for each hard-fought battle. We are
| the richer for valor displayed alike
by those who fought so valiantly for
the right, and by those who, no less
valiantly, fought for what they deem
ed the right. We have in us nobler
capacities for what is great and good
because of the infinite woe and suf-
fering, and because of the splendid
ultimate triumph.
Woodrow Wilson: America, 1 have
said, was reborn by the struggle OF
the Civil War, but America is reborn
every day of her life by the purposes
we form, the conceptions we enter
tain, the hopes that we cherish. We
live in our visions. We live in the
things that we see. We live, and
hopes abound in us as we live, in the
things that we purpose. Let us GO
away from this place renewed in our
devotion to daily duty and to those
ideals which keep a nation young
keep it noble, keep it rich in enter
prise and achievement; make it to
lead the nations of the world in
those things that make for hope and
for the benefit of mankind.
Warren G. Harding: In the aspira-
tions that we may gain through to-
days contemplation of the deeds oi
these, our heroes of all wars, we are
called to look toward tOmorrow's OBJ
legations. Our country has never
failed to measure up to the demands
presented to it in behalf of human
ity, and never will. When it ceases
to meet these drafts, it will no long
er be our country; it will be, if thai
time ever comes, the wretched an(
