This nation will stand with bowed head on Monday next, at the graves o f those who took part in the wars o f the country. It is a fitting tribute to pay to the memories o f those who fought and risked their lives in defense o f and for the maintenance of the nation. But this commem oration is something more than respect paid to the honored dead, as it emphasizes the living ideals which were fostered and streng thened by the lives laid down in their behalf. Out o f death comes life, for death is the letting loose o f life that it may have freer play and larger development. The seed sown in the ground disinte grates, but rises increased thirty, sixty and a hundred fold. It loses its life only to find it again more abundantly. So out o f the dissolution and d e s t r u c t i o n wrought by war, a larger national life emerges, fertilized by the blood o f heroes. On this solemn day ol commemoration let us not dwell on its sombre aspects, but while we lay the laurel on their resting places, lift up our eyes and see them as a vast living host marching on side by side with us, urging and cheering us to follow their good example o f self-sacri fice for (iod and country. In these days o f unrest and perplexity, we need their story to help us prove stedfast in our integrity, and not give way to despair. “ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let ns run with stedfastness the race that is set before us.” Look up, not down. God reigns and if we be only true, “ the government o f the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. ” The defeated candidate is in clined to agree with what the psalmist said in his haste, that “ all men art* liars. ” Marion county voted against the millage tax. How's that for a reputation? That Mr. Taft is a statesman o f a high order, is shown by his remarks on the league o f nations in an interview last Sunday. As he lectures tonight on this sub ject no doubt he will amplify his statements and clear up any mooted points. We still hope that he will be the dark horse which will carry the republican party to a glorious victory in No vember. President Wilson has sent a message to congress asking that it accept the mandate to take A r menia under the protection o f the U. S. There is little chance that congress will rise to the oc casion. None o f the European nations is in a position to do what is required, and unless a strong power like ourselves, takes hold o f the situation, the Armenians are doomed to continual persecu tion and massacre by the Turks. Vast sums are being raised in this country for their relief, but these will practically be wasted, unless the Armenians are protected. In this case, an ounce o f prevention is worth a ton o f eleemosynary help. D O V E R IT E M S State Veterinarian Gardner was through Dover Monday test ing cows.
