G. A. R. veterans, of whom there

the Lone Fir Cemetery in the morn

A parade, in which the G. A. P, vet
erans, the Coast Artillery Corps Band
of 36 pieces, and the field guns of tha
Army and Naval Militia were features,
marched through downtown streets in
the afternoon. A platoon of police led

two field guns, two companies of tho
Oregon Naval Militia, a field gun, tho
Spanish War Veterans, the Coast Artil

Veterans who were unable to walk rode
in carriages furnished by the familv
of the late D. P. Thompson. Crowds
lined the streets and applauded as the
veterans passed.
In the speeches made at the exer
cises at Lone Fir Cemetery yesterday
morning, and at the South Plaza block
yesterday afternoon a note of warning
was sounded against the red flag and
reformers who would "provide by pop
ular vote that the Constitution shall
mean one thing to one man and an
other thing to another man,"
False Prophets Denounced.
It was Wallace McCamant, In his
peech at the Plaza, who voiced the
sentiment just quoted. He said:
We are drifting into troublous
times. A race of false prophets has
arisen, who would transfer and trans
form the Constitution from a fortress
into a house of cards. He would destroy
the uniformity of our system of laws,
and provide by popular vote that the
Constitution shall mean one thing to
this man, and another thing to that
man. It seems as though the ship of
state is drifting from her moorings. I
can't telLw-hither she is bound, or what
her course shall be. I fear we are chas
ing after the pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow.
"With true reform and real progress
have hearty sympathy, but many of
those who call themselves reformers
and progressives are of the firebrand
type, potent only to destroy, powerless
to reform and construct. I know that
whatever the future may brlns, it will
bring with it nothing so precious aa
the heritage of the fathers, which the
false prophets of our day will spurn
and cast aside.
Warning Note Sounded.
"When Abraham Lincoln entered
upon the Presidency he confronted a
terrible crisis. As he appealed to
patriotic memories in the hearts of his
countrymen in his lnauguara address,
so on this Memorial day I would con
jure with Bunker Hill and Saratoga,
and Gettysburg and Chlckamauga.
"Our rights and franchises are not
the offspring of chance. They are the
fruitage of struggle and sacrifice. They
come to us sanctified by the blood of
brave men and true. If we shall dis
regard them and cast them aside, pos
terity will think of us as it thinks .f
him who sold his birthright for a mess
of pottage. Standing in the shadow of
the heroic age which this day com
memorates let us highly resolve to pre
serve and transmit the blessings of
Constitutional government which have
come down to us from our fathers. Let
us welcome whatever of reform or
progress the future may bring, but let
us regard him as a public enemy who
would barter away the heritage won
by the men of '76, and which comes to
us hallowed by the blood and sacrifice
of the men of '61."
