MEMORIALS TO OUR PRESIDENTS
The erection of beautiful and enduring memorial to
honor the memory of a dead President of our country is
carried on hi lhe same dilatory maimer that characterizes
our action- toward our neighbors—we purchase bountiful
bouquets after they are dead. As we fail to recognize the
true worth of our friends and neighbors until they are life­
less so do we neglect to pay honor to our illustrious presi­
dents and statesmen until they have passed from the scene
of action and mortality.
