and to patriotism. The decoration of
graves and patriotic addresses, consti-
tuted the days program.
In recent years it has lost much of its
original significance to the great bulk of
the people. To them it is holiday, an
opportunity to stop work and turn to
pleasure. 1t is sad commentary ON the
grip modernism has on us. Too many who
call themselves good Americans, and
would resent the accusation that they are
not, have the attitude that only bunch
of saps" would take the time and effort
necessary to march in a parade and
spend some time devoted to the memory
of the dead and to the ideals of our ma
ton.
There is vital need for the rekind-
ling of the old American spirit. We had
it for short time, during and after the
World War. 1t must be reborn again.
Memorial Day should be the one day in
the year when Americans remember that
they really are Americans, citizens of
great nation, and be proud to do homage
to the nations dead.

MEMORIAL DAY

All over the nation today, millions of
Americans pause from their regular oc-
cupations to pay tribute to those who
died in the battles of their country.
Men and women who have known war
from their own experiences, march be-
hind the flag they served to honor their
comrades who have gone before them in
to the Great Beyond.
These men and women are the strong
est advocates of world peace, but they
are also advocates of adequate defense
for their country, and in this they are not
being inconsistent, for in the knowledge
of safety is peace
Those who have known the living hell of
the Argonne, of San Juan Hill, or of Cold
Harbor have no desire that any of these
scenes should be repeated, but if they
must be repeated, the nation will be safe
with those who see Memorial Day in its
true light.
We have permitted it to develop into a
holiday, something that those who found
ed it never intended. To them it was
