that history records. The chiv

MEMORIAL DAY
(Crntral ipumt Kirralii
Fifty-two years ago the night-
nure of the terrible four years
of war between the North and
South had just closed. The land
of the Stars and Stripes was
weary and worn from the long
strife—but it was over! In
every home from the Canadian
border to the Gulf of Mexico,
though many and many a home
was bereft with sorrow, t>e
spirit of hope gladdened the
hearts of men once more and
they began to look forward to the
pursuits of peace, and the heart-
sad wives, widows and daughters
breathed a sigh of relief. The
war was over ! The industrious
Yankees of the North were glad
it was over, not because they had
defeated the South, but because
war had ceased. The grand old
Southland was glad too, not be
cause they believed the right side
had won the victory, but because
the war was over.
Another Memorial or Decora
tion Day is at hand. The world
is at war. The Civil war, with
all its horrors, hardships and
sorrow’, was not to be compared
to the war of to-day. The most
titanic war ever dreamed of by
the mind of man rocks the world
while I write, and while you or 1
work or sleep here in the beauti
ful, peaceful Rogue River Valley
millions of hearts are burdened
with anguish or breaking with
sorrow—across on the other side.
What are they fighting for ?
Why are we also entering into
this world war ?
Marshal Joflfre and Foreign
Secretary Balfour claim the allies
are fighting for the defeat of
militarism and the perpetuity of
democracy.
President Wilson
justified the entry of the United
States in the war on the same
