ARMORY FILLED WHEN
SOLDIERS ARE EULOGIZED
(Continued from page 1)
cate one day each year to the
memory of those who died In the
Civil war. It Is fine that through
out our land today, men and wo
men are stepping aside from the
busy thoroughfares of modern
life to pay a tribute and drop a
flower upon an absent comrade's
grave. The flowing of the sands
of time serve only to enhance the
memories of those chaotic days
whose passing burned the heart
of a nation, but brought a new,
glorious and enduring under
standing . There are few In Amer
ica today, whose pulses do not
leap at the mere sight of the fad
ed hat cord of the Grand Army of
the Republic.
And it is these gallant soldiers
we honor with our presence today
and pay publicly the tribute we
privately acknowledge every liv
ing day and hour. His Is a diffi
cult task who woutd speak an ap
preciation of such service. Words
are inadequate. Oh if we could
but bee into the hearts of men andtdeeds upon which the welfare of
read what is written there, our
comrades, would never have occa
sion to feel their sacrifices had
been In vain. All we can do at
this time is publicly confirm our
love.
Achievement lU-come Known
Our comrades achievements In
that great drama are written on
the heart of every school boy. On
a hundred battlefields, they gave
all they had to give and when the
war was over, and the armies of
a million men melted away into
the paths of peace, we know how
many, maimed and wounded,
wandered back to the scenes they
used to love, to homes whose once
bright and happy light had been
changed into gloom and sorrow
by the shot and shell of war. Who
can tell of the crushed ambition,
the ruined hopes, the blasting of
the fondest dreams of life, but he.
who when the Hunt was done,
wearily took up th burden of
life again and manfully struggled
on. Follow him in his marches,
and whether clambering the rocky
slopes of the Cumberland or
struggling through the pestilen
tial regions of the great dismal
swamp, whether under the tail
pines of the north or the old pal
mettoes of the south, whether
Brawling through the jiinsles of
Cuba or wading the rice swamps
jof Luzon, whether flushed with
victory or depressed with defeat,
you find him, always the same
brave, chivalrous, American soldier.
History Marked by Deed
George William Curtis In one
of hi a peeches. said: "There are
the world seems to be staked
conflicts in which liberty is lost or
won. victories by which the stan
dard of human progress is ad
vanced. Between sunrise and sun
set on some chance field the deed
is done, hut from that day it is a
field enchanted- Imagineation
vets it with the "light that never
was on sea or land." The grateful
hearts of mankind respect its
name. Heroism feeds upon its
story. Patriotism kindles upon its
perennial fires."
War is a terrible thing. It can
not be defended, either by heart
or brain. The very thought clouds
the eye and blanches the cheek.
Yet war has contributed to Amer
ica a precious spirit, a gift of her
ois memories. God help the
country whose only victories are
those of diplomacy. Whose his
tory is a by-product of the brain
rather than the outpouring of the
heart. I pity the youth of any
country that cannot feed upon
and glory in. a heroic and war
like ancestry. This great Rift is
the contribution of war: "the hih
flung spirit of America which we
must catch and carry on: a spirit
the foundation of all national
ideals.
Discord is Sounded
A verse keeps coming to my
mind: "Who laid the cornerstone
thereof when the morning stars
sang together." A world known
Treacher has made this the text
of a far reaching sermon. When

cornerstone of this great temple

America
the spirit of '01. The spirit every
genuine American posesses, wheth
J er lie is such by the accident of
birth or by way of Ellis Island,
j Oh my comrades the slimy, crawl
ing, slinking serpent of an idea
that there may be such a thing as
castes in American citizership,
must bo throttled. It is a mag
nificient privilege to be born an
American citizen.
It is a fine responsibility that
foreign born come to our shores
nnd ask that this be the country
of their adoption, but it is a p'ti
ful betrayal of our responsibilities
that we of America, consider our
full duty done when the formali
ties of the law have been complied
with, the papers signed, seaiea
nnd delivered.
Why our duties only just 'uegin
when the law is satisfied, Ameri
ca must be, and this requires more
than the functioning of public of
ficials. The duty is there and we
must spread the glorious gospoi
of '61 as far and high as touguo
and pen can carry it. The inspir
ation of native and foreign-born
alike. This will restore the old
harmony, obtaining at the laying
of the cornerstone of America
when the morning stars sang to

days of reconstruction following
the Civil war.
Jubilee Recalled
In 1869, a Peace Jubilee, cele
brating the cessation of hostili
ties waB held in the city of Boston.
Men and women of all countries
attended. Twelve thousand train
ed voices. A thousand wind and
stringed instruments. Hour aftfer
hour and day after day, the glor
ious orchestra rendered the mas
terpieces dt all nations:, anvil
clanged; bells in the city and
cannon on the common, timed
electrically, pealed and roared in
awful harmony. When the great
orchestra was in full volume, the
voices in full sound, batons in full
wave, atfvils clashing bellg ring
ing: and-the cannon roaring with
an impact that reeled the earth
and billowed against the clouds cf

voice like a bugle call, sang the
Star "Spangled Banner. The im

flrand Army First
We pay tribute today, primar
ily to the Grand Army and then
to the soldiers and sailors of all
wars.Not to the veterans of the
e?.st, the west, the north, the
routh, not to the wearer of the
blue, the gray, the brown, the
khaki, but to the American, a sol
dier in time of war, a citizen in
time of peace.
Can you not see them passim?
review before your eyes? No hu
gle sounds to the charge. No mus
ketry rattles; no cannons roar,
and we see no gleam of flashing
swords and glittering bayonets;
the pomp and heraldry of war
are absent. Yet the marching
ranks come steadily on, and their
weapon is a flower. As they pass
each stoops and strews his trib
utes upon the dead. First, the
Grand Army of the Republic, than
which no other army will be great
er until time shall be no longr.
l.Iere one walks with the aid of a
ane and there one leans upon a
comrade's arm; a mere fragment
of the glorious band that sprang
to the colors in '61 and yet
requires little imagination to p'c
ture the strength that once was
theirs! Then the veterans of the
Spanish-American war; the army
of '98 the men of affairs of todav.
And then, the veterans of the
World war, whose sight opens
wounds but partially healed; in
here and there is a blank Hie
once filled by a face we knew and'
loved. A sad and a glorious pro
cession! One of resurgent sor
rows; and yet, withal, it brings a
mighty feeling of joy that we
knew, moved with and loved suci
men.

tion and its entrancing beauty the
culmination of the highest art of

Colored leader Speaks
The only other speaker was Dr.
Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee In
stitute, speaking for the Negro
Americans, and he laid weight
upon the declaration that it was
Lincoln's name that stood first
in the hearts of these twelve mil
lion of his countrymen. Lincoln's
death, he said, was "the last and
costliest sacrifice upon the altar
of freedom!.''
"I speak for the negro rce,"
he said. "Upon us perhaps more
than upon any other group of the
nation rests the immediate ob
ligation to justify so dear a price
for our emancipation.
"A race that has produced a
Frederick Douglass In the midst
of slavery and a Booker T. Wash
ington in the aftermath of re
construction has gone far to just
tify its emancipation. And the
nation In which such achieve
ment is possible Is full worthy
of such heroic sacrifices.
Markham Poem Read
The only other feature of the
dedication ceremony was Edwin
Markham's declaration of his re
vised poem to Lincoln:
"A man to hold against the
world;
"A man to match the moun
tains and the sea."
In the concluding stanza, it
read:
"And when he fell in whirl
wind; he went down,
"As when a lordly cedar, green
with bows,
with boughs,
"Goes down, with a great shout
upon the hills,
"And leaves a lonesome place
against the sky "
At the end of the ceremony,
President Harding turned to in
spect the great statue, brooding
in the vast, pillared chamber of
the temple, then greeted mem
bers of the senate who had closed
about him.
It was then the president
sought out the bent, feeble figure
of Lincoln's son.. And when Mr.
