V1LLE HOXOIt DEAD
Two of Leading Cemeteries in County
Scenes of Ceremonies
Island City, May 31. (Special)
Memorial services were held yester
day end a large assemblage of peo
ple gathered to decorate the graves
of loved ones and to listen to the pa
triotic program,
Senator E. E. Kiddle was the chief
speaker of the day and he spoke to a
large crowd who showed deep inter
est in his well chosen remarks.
Senator Kiddle Is Heard.
His speech follows:
We hive gathe:ed here loday to
pay our respects to, and show our
veneration for those brave defenders
of the Stars and Stripes, who fought
, so gloriously ami nobly for their con
victions, and many of whom, although
escaping the cruel bullet or sword of
their foes, nevertheless found their
allotment of three score and ten
years cut short by sickness and dis
ease brought on by exposure neces
sary to the life of the soldior. ,
Decoration Day! What does it
mean? We look into our dictionary
and encyclopedias and they say it is
a day set apart as a national holiday
for decortiiig with flowers the graves
of the Union Soldiers and Sailors who
served in the Civil War.
Originally this definition would
have satisfied us, but times, customs,
and people change. What served a;,
a good definition for the day forty
years ago as a comparison of the
carriage of that day with the automo
bile of today.
The significance of the day hasj
reacnea a mucn larger scope, uec
oration Day is now looked upon as
not only a day to honor and reverence
the soldiers and sailors by ornament
ing and decorating their graces, but
also to do honor to those others of our
relatives and friends who have solved
the mysteries of life and crossed to
that other shore "from who's bourne
no traveler ever returns."
As we pass from grave to grave and
leave a small token of life and im
mortality on their last resting place,
we bow our heads in silent thought as
our memory reverts back to days
gone by when those who now are si-

lent were with us, sharing our likes
and our dislikes; our joys and our
sorrows; our pleasures, our pains; our
fortunes and misfoi tunes, and the
leaving of the bright colored flower or
rie green spray on their final resting
place is not only a decoration, but is
a "symbol of immortality" and recalls
to the minds of those who view it
that promise of "future resurrection
and life everlasting."
While Decoration Day originated
as a day set apart to honor the wear
ers of the Blue, we, as a Nation, ar5
proud today to be able to say that
there is no longer a distinction be
tween the Blue and the Grey; no more
do we recognise the Mason and Dixon
line; we have no united North or solid
South. The Spanish-American war
forged the last links in the chain that
i.nited us into one solid nation.
In the Spanish-American War, the
lilue and the Grey fought side by side
for the cause of justice and humanity,
and the "Yankee cheer" mingled with
the "rebel yell" in one great and glor
ious out-burst for a united nation;
among whom, we trust, no contention
will ever again arise except that noble
contention, or rather emulation, as to
who can best work and best agree. It
has been my pleasure to have visited
the southern states several times the
past few years and I have found
end noticed that the National anthem
on the sight of "Old Glory" was
Krceted with as much enthusiasm and
cheering both by the old and the
young in what was formally known
iis the "Solid South" asjn any section
of our country.
While decorating the last restimr
place of our departed defenders of the
Stars and Stripes and exulting in the
though that we no longer have any
serious differences amongst ourselves,
f.ur thoughts revert with horror anil
dismay to the horrible carnage and
destruction of human life and prop
erty now taking place in foreign
lands. And even our own country is
not entirely free frcm the horrors of
war and destruction of human life, for
while we have not openly made a
declaration of war to our neighbors
on the south, our soldiers are at the
present time gathered hore in force
and we are in fact if no in theory
invading an enemy's country.
And while we are all congratulat
ing ourselves that we have not been
drawn into the great maelstrom in
the far east, we recoil with horror at

ful management of the trustees or

lines of business preparedness, we
have one of thi most beautiful little
cemeteries in the county, and plans
are being carried out to still further
beautify and adoni the surroundings
which will ultimately make it, not a
place of sorrow and sadness, but will
symbolize the sunshine and beauties
of this world as emblematical of that
preparedness for the life to come.
While we are here today honoring
the dead, we should not forget the liv

orating the giaves of the departed
with a profusion of flowers, that one
little rose bud of kind words, deads,
or actions dropped to the living todav
will grow into beautiful wreaths and
grand bouquets in the future.
In closing, I wish to quote the
words of the poet:
TELL HIM SO. '
If a friend hath ever pleas'ed you
Made your pathway a brighter glow;
Though a little thing to do.
Then and there just tell him, so.
Tis so strange that we can never
Tell the value of a man,
Till he's laid away forever
From life's cares and working plan.
Tell him now you see his struggle:
Of his purpose, true ar.d grand;
And while telling of his "battle," ,
Give to him a helping hand.
i -
I Don't keep words of commendation
! Till your brother's laid away
They may give new lesolution
Tell him while he lives today.
