W h y Seek the Living
Am ong the Dead ?
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.
