THIS MEMORIAL DAY
By HtRMAN. HAOEDORN.
Of the Vigilantes.
IT IS fifty years now that the Ameri
can people have every year laid
aside their tools for a day to re
member their noble dead.
This year they again lay aside thrtr
tools. This year they again rather
roues snd Mines snd apple blossoms
and cherry Mnseoms snd wsnder oat
to the cemeteries to decorate those old
hot never forgotten graves. This yesr
they decorate them with apprehensive
hearts.
This yesr, aa In ether years, they re
fresh In their memory the heroic deeds
and ssrrtflres of their fathers: but
they do something besides this. Re
calling those deeds and those sacrifices
In the bright light of new heroism and
the shadow of new sacrifice, they dedi
cate themselves, their hands, their
minds, and their spirits, to the new
struggle on which their country Is em
barked. They remember American men who
died fighting on old bnttleflelds, but
they remember more vividly American
women and children who died oa the
Lusltanla.
They remember Gettysburg, and
Chancellnrsvllle. snd Fredericksburg,
sod Chlckamauga, and the Wilderness:
but they remember more vividly whst
happened In Belgium, and Frsnce. and
Serbia, and Armenia, and on the open
seas.
They remember the Lost Cause and
the Cause that was victorious. With
high hearts they remember them, and
with grateful hearts they remember
(he men who fought and died defend
ing them, and the men who fougtit and
lived and were great enough, for the
as Ice of a onlted nation, at last to for
give and forget They remember these
things. But more vividly they remem
ber that the nation which Washington
created and Lincoln preserved Is face
to fare with the most sinister foe that
hsa yet threatened Ita liberty. They
remember that thla foe, with sly and
Insidious cunning, sought to confess,
corrupt and hamstring the energy and
moral will of the American people
even while he sank their ships and.
alanghtered their fellow-cltliens. . They
remember that by the force of his arms
thla foe has beaten down great Russia,
subjugated Serbia. Rnumanla, Belgium,
northern Itsly and northern France.
They remember liberty, and fhey re
member that where thla foe bat trod,
liberty hat died. ' '
In the midst of a great war, the
American people give a day to their
heroic dead. Tbey honor them in
speeches and parades. They honor
them with flowers and music Tbey
re doing there no more than Justice
when they so honor them.
But they honor them best rf with linn
wilt and fearless heart they resolve
that humanity's fos shall die ; but thai
by the strength, the courage, the en
durance, the spirit of devotion and sac
rifice not only of the men In khaki or
in blue In France and Flanders and on
the sea, but of the fathers .and moth
era and wives, the sisters, the sweet
hearts, the' brother!, avho work and
wait at home in the Great Republic of
the West, Democracy shall triumph.
Right shall triumph, and Liberty shall
live, bringing to the world a peace
that shall eddure, and to men and wom
en everywhere a happiness that shall
have foundations.
