the memorial address and the two
organizations in a. body visited' the
Vcal cemeteries.
Veterans of three wars the civil
strife, the Spanish-American conflict
and the late war who gathered at
Lone Fir cemetery yesterday morn
ing to pay tribute and honor to com
rades who have given their all that
this nation might live, were called
upon to wajfe unrelenting warfare
against the unrest and turmoil now
rampart throughout the nation.
It was Major Cassius R. Peck, a
veteran of the late war. who (sounded
the clarion call to arms, who urged
the former fighters to arise and save
the nation from what he declared to
be a greater peril than has existed
at any time during its history.
With prfect weather prevailing', I

T. Brouilliette, who served in the
riual capacity of chairman and chap
lain, opened ' the impressive service
with an invocation.
The Oregon fife and drum corps
was there, and no memorial service
in this state would be complete
without the martial music that these
veteran musicians dispense. General
John A. Logan's orders inaugurat
ing Memorial, day, issued on May 5,
1S6S. were read by Adjutant J. W.
Ogilbee.
Gettysburg: Address Read.
For years Lincoln's Gettysburg
address has been, an important fea
ture at every memorial exercise
throughout the United States, but it
is doubtful if ever this famous ora
tion has been delivered with more
effect than it was yesterday in Lone
Fir by a 14-year-old lad. Roland Han
pen. Serious was this youth, and
forceful was his delivery. In fact,
few orators with years of platform
experience could be credited with a
more impressive reading of the mar
tyred president's famed address.
It was Cassius I'eck who left the
well-worn path of the usual Memo
rial day programme to bring to the
attention of the former warriors prob
lems of the present day.
"We are gathered here today for
a two-fold purpose." explained Major
Peek. "We are here to pay tribute
to those who have given their lives
that this nation might not perish.
We are also here to re-dedieate our
lives to a battle, or fight, if you
please, which will insure that the
death of our comrades might not
have been in vain.
"We are confronted today with the
scum and froth which covers the
stream of our civilization, a scum
which is made up of damnable, un
patriotic profiteers. .We are also
brought face to face with the dregs
in the streams made up of I. W. W..
anarchists and members of other
anti-government agencies.
"In the middle of this stream is the
elear water made up of the middle
.-lajs of people, through whose veins
flows real American blood.
"Under-production and over-consumption
is the cause of our evils of
today. The man who would, under
existing conditions, exact something
to which he is not entitled is as bad
as the I. W. W. And the laboring
man who refuses to give a 100 per
Vent effort for a 1U0 per cent wage
- fhe solution is to give each wage
earner a fair wage, sufficient to en:
able him to raise his family prop
erly, to give capital a fair return on
its Investments and to make an equal
division of the remainder of profits
between capital and labor. Make
every laborer a capitalist. Give him
an interest in the profits and under
production will cease. Until we ar
rive at some basis of profit-sharing
we will be faced with this battle be
tween capital and wages."
Servient at Other tmttfrir.
In addition to the services at Lone
Fir yesterday, veterans of American
wars" gathered at other cemeteries
throughout the city, and assisted by
school children and khaki-clad Boy
.Scouts, conducted services in sacred
memory of the departed warriors.
At St. Johns the services were
held at the Memorial monument near
Jersey street immediately folowing a
parade conducted by the members of
the Grand Army of the Republic.
In Montavilla members of McKinley
post held services in their ha.ll, and
in Lents the veterans gathered at the
Oddfellows' hall.
The sailors and marines were not
forgotten, for at 10:"0 o'clock yester
dav impressive ceremonies were con
ducted at the foot of Stark- street.
Flowers strewn over the waters in
conformity to the time-word tradi
tions and customs of the navy,
brought to mind the thousands or
brave men who had met their death
defending the nation at sea.
And while the services throughout
the city were in the form of tribute
to all warriors who laid down their
lives beneath the stars and stripes,
those who died in the Spanish
American war were accorded special
homage by the Spanish war veterans
in the plaza block opposite the court
house. Here an altar constructed of
flowers upon which large bouquets
of flowers and ferns were deposited
by the relatives of those who failed
to return.
