LINCOLN, THE EMANCIPATOR (Lok Ahffeles Times. MaV 30. 1921 i Memorial Day assumes a new meaning this year as the thoughts of the nation turn from the turmoil of the present to pay a silent tribute to the consecrated dead who gave their lives that the Spirit of Liberty might live. It is for more than country that many of them fought; thousands 3leep in foreign lands, where the cohorts of Liberty passed amidst falling thrones. and crumbling dynasties; many found their resting places in the haunted depths of the 3even seas. Lib erty knows no country; it is the heritage 'of the race; foe alike to anarchy and despotism. 1 -The sons of Freedom have carried her . torch and sword far. afield, since the first of the brood fell at Concord and Bunker Hill ; but wherever they have raised her altars and fed with their blood the consecrated flame the lights are still burning. There was a time when that torch lighted only a wilderness stretching from the Green Mountains to the Flor ida Everglades; but the hardy pioneers of Freedom have ex tended that domain until the banners of our republic have become the emblems of the enslaved of all lands, the Nemesis of every' tyrant, : i ; 4 ' Garlands of flowers, the fairest and the rarest that the spring sends forth, are twined today about the resting places of those who have made possible the triumph of free peoples oyer man-made tyranny. Some of these graves are older than the country .'itself, above others the first wild flowers bloom; but they are comrades all. knights-errant in the cause of. humanity. , V'J As they gave their bodies to the earth their spirit became part of that invisible but indomitable force which fights with otir generation and the generations that will follow for the one cause that makes, the earth tolerable- to human being3. Fortunate, indeed, are we who live in a country whose soldiers never marched' with smoking rifle and drawn sword in any cause' put that of Liberty, whose traditions and ideals have never changed.' They.all -whether at Yorktown, at Lundy's Lane, at Buena Vista, at Gettysburg, at Santiago, at Manila, in the Argonne; in Flanders or in Siberia fell fighting under tne same flag for a common cause. They have left us to carry, on the fight until the right of every people to gov ern themselves shall be as common as the air and the sun light Until : the' words 'justice and liberty shall have one .meaning in every .tongue. . - ' ; ' " y ' v . ! Never has an American soldier fallen in a war of con quest' They have all fought to remove the menacepf opi ressronTfroiritherearth; actuated by JthV Ideal "that thei? acniice wouia nasten ine.aay wnen war and despotism ;would no longer be possible. The American sword has never been unsheathed except in defense1 of human rights: it has never propped a tottering throne, never oppressed a neighbor, And never has the' American soldier fought in vain ; never has our 3word been sheathed until our objectives were won; ficver have two wars been necessary to achieve a single ob ject. And that glorious record must not' be sullied in this hoar -when the supreme triumph of liberty-' and justice is There Is a statue of Abraham Lincoln at Washington that is seldom seen by visitors.... This is due to that fact that it is, located in Lincoln park about a mile due east of the Caplior, which is away from the present principal resid ential and business section of the national capital. When this sta tue was first erected, however, that particular section of the city was as much frequented as any other. The interesting feature of this statue is the fact that its erec tion was suggested by a former slave, and its entire cost, was contributed by former slaves. On the base of the statue may be seen the following explanatory bronze tablet: " f FREEDOM'S MEMORIAL In grateful memory of ABRAHAM s LINCOLN;, this monument was erected by the Western Sanitary Commission of St. Louis, Mo., with funds contributed solely by emancipated citizens of the United States declared free by his proclamation January 1st, A.. D. 1863 The first contribution of five . dollars was made by Carlotle Scott, a freed woman of Virginia, being her first earnings in freedom and consecrated by her suggestion and re : quest on the day she beard of President Lincoln's death to build a monument to , his memory. FROM PERICLES TO LINCOLN ' When Macaulay's history was selling like a popular novel he noted in his diary: "Home. Read my "book arid Thucydides, which; I regret to say, I found much bet ter than mine." A generation be fore Macaulay's birth the greatest name among English statesmen was tqat of Lord Chatham, and the highest praise Chatham could bestow on the Continental Con gress was to say that its papers might be classed with the speeches in Thucydides. When, as the- last century grew old, Mahan sent forth his strong book on sea power in history the scholars of every land referred to tne Drier yet memorable comments of Thu cydides on the corsairs, the com merce and the commanders of the Mediterranean. It would be child ish vanity for the average scribe to say that his work will be a mouth, for the historian frankly avows that he put down what the speaker would be likely to say. If, as is quite possible, the speech is the joint product of two Hellen ic minds of the first order. It stands as a lasting model. It shows us what Athens was in the eyes of her most thoughtful sons, and how they wished to rep resent her to native and foreigner, to friend and foe' Pericles said of those who had died for Athens: "THEY RECEIVED EACH ONE AGAIN A PRAISE WHICH GROWS NOT OLD, AND THE have a new birth of freedom ; and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. NATIONAL GRATITUDE AS MEASURED I X DOLLARS possession forever," yet when Thucydides said this he forecast NOBLEST OF ALL SEPULCHRES thct rrtlrt that no rnnrt nil I SPEAK NOT OF THAT IN overrule. Among the physicians who have read all that is newest in medical literature there are always some to quote what the mighty Greek says of the plague in Athens. Should any soldier of the World War produce a narrative of tran scendent merit no compliment would go closer to his heart than "this reminds one of the retreat in the memorable history of Thucydides." In that grave chron icle from which so many states- FUTURE DATES' WHICH THEIR REMAINS ARE LAID, BUT OF THAT IN WHICH THEIR GLORY SURVIVES, AND IS PROCLAIMED ALWAYS AND ON EVERY FITTING OCCASION BOTH IN WORD AND DEED.

I The solution for th's puzzle sp fears tomorrow, c Dumm Kopf Old Schneider lived all by him self In his tittle house up on thf hill. He was a queer, grump ol fellow, who had little to do wit! the people in the village. The; would have little to do with "uTn too. If it hadn't been that h could weave the most beautifu rag rugs. As well known as Schnelde' was his dog. Nobody knew thr lean. lazy old animal's name Schneider railed him - "dumm kopf". German for "blockhead." And the name seemed to salt, for certainly the hound was not intel ligent ', .- . Y:-; ' '- He wonld lie.etft: In the middle- I of the road . and the, passing cars had to swerve around to keep from hittingr him. Schneider would come to the door and cal him to his dinner, and the dog would look at him with vacant eyes without stirring. ' Then Schneider would throw up his hands and say, "Dumm kopf!" : The boys and girls of the town liked the 4og, even as they liked Schneider, for in spite of his grumpy manner, the weaver made funny little cookies that tasted so good, and he always had one for any of the younger, folks who btoped at his house. In the spring, old Schneider didn't have so much work to do. Housewives were busy .- cleaning and could not sew rags together: besides there had been a great deal of rain and part of the valley had been flooded, so that-there was much trouble. j . . One rainy night Schneider was sitting in his snug house. He de cided to go down to the village tor tobacco and called to his dog to follow. The two set off near the river bank, .which wa8 dark and swirling. Jammed with float ing trees and small buildings. . Suddenly Schneider missed his dog. He called and wh'stted but the dog did not come. . Then he heard a faint crying. By the flare of a match he saw his dog holding firmly to the coat. of a rttle boy. perhaps three years old. in drenched, torn garments. Schneider. . trembling picked the boy up, wondering how he had come there. But whether he had been thrown on the bank from sinking houseboat or v had been abandoned. Schneider never knew. But anyway. ;Scfaneider ' always says now, "Yon can't call tha,tdog dumm kopf any more." .. 7 , From the flatboat and the fron tier came the man who was to stand on the heights of Gettys burg and say in a few words what the heroes of our land had done. Many, a reader has thought of the elaborate oration that recalls the noblest days of Athens and of the short speech that in simple pathos surpasses the grandest ut terances of Webster. Could Lin coln have rambled into a library, and lit on a translation of Thucy- Could Bryant have told him of it? No phrase or word even hints at borrowing, and yet Lincoln, who was always gather ing things new and old, may have been aware that the most famous speech In the records of Athena was over the graves of those who had given their lives that their country might not perish from the earth. When the young rail splitter began to voice his thoughts, when he begged a country schoolmaster j to correct his grammatical errors, when he argued his early cases or spoke in the Illinois legislature how grotesque would have been the prediction that anything he could say would rank with what Pericles said or Thucydides at tributed to him. When he went on the circuit with Douglas he justly felt that he was advancing at no mean pace, but no one would have rated him with the masters of Athenian speech. Even in his cabinet there were sharp comments on his jests and his back-country sayings. It was not until death had closed his lips that Stanton said: "Now he be longs to the ages," and Lowell wrote that "one of Plutarch's men talked with us face to face." Abraham Lincoln said at Get tysburg of those wiio fought and died for their country: "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, con ceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men arc created equal. "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so con ceived and dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. "But in a larger sense we can not dedicate, we cannot conse crate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated It far above our poor powefto add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us. the living. rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished' work which they who fought here have thus far' so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that "this nation, under God, shall For me and you!"
