SUDPORD MATE TRIBUNE, MEDFOIiD. ON, FRTDAY, MAY !10, 1019 MOST IMPRESSIVE L LOCAL HISTORY Probably the most notable Memor ial Any observance and the most deeply Bontlmontal In Its significance In the history ot Modford that of today. All nature was In attune with this sacred occasion, which to gether with the several original but simple f oat urea Introduced and the deep pathos inculcated Into every mind thru the deaths ot 40 Jackson eounty boys In the present war, in battle overseas or in camp abroad or in this country, made everything more than usually impressive. Alt fallen heroes of all our wars were paid loving tribute to. The exercises at library park were in honor of the dead heroes ot the world war. Just recently ended, and the exercises at the Page theater were in tribute to the fallen men ot the civil war, while the parado be tween the two points was in honor of all the martial dead ot the nation. Incidentally In thus honoring the heroic dead tribute was paid to all the living men who wore the V. S. uniform, tnd those who are 'Still wearing It And who could view that wonder ful floral monument In library park, fashioned by the Red Cross women, with ths names of the Jackson county dead of the present war in scribed on its sides, and see the Red Cross and Junior Red Cross members walk around It singing a'ud throwing more flowers at its base;1 and who could watch, these same Red Cross contingents casting -beautiful roses on rushing Bear creek from the top of the bridge. In tribute to the-fallen marines, without lumps rising in throats, shedding ot tears and feel ing a hallowed, patriotic Joy within? The floral monument and the cast ing of flowers on the water were spectacles which touched all hearts. The' day's ceremonies opened at 10'-a. m. with the women of the Red Cross In costume and the Junior Red Cross members marching from the high school to library park escorted by company E, national guard, and the returned soldiers in -uniform with the high schol band at the lead' ot the procession. At the park the marchers were Joined by the G. A. R. veterans and the members of . the Women's (Relief Corps, and all formed a square about the big floral monument on the lawn. Handreds ot people were assembled on the grounds. . After a bugle call was sounded the Junior Red Cross,' singing "Truth Is Marching on," to the tune of ' John Brown's Body" walked around the monument and' threw bouquets of roses at its base. Then while the high school band played a dirge tune the Red T Cross women marched around and threw more roses at the monument base. Major R. W. Clancy then mounted the library steps and made a brief patriotic address in which' he paid .glowing tribute to the men who lost their lives in Franca and the men who, had served abroad and, also those soldiers who did not get across hut were prepared and longing to go. He spoke briefly about the general attitude of those on the battle front and the wonderful fortitude dlsplay- ed by the many wounded Americans. All the soldiers he said were Imbued by the sole desire to do their duty to their country and the world. Major Clancy closed with an ap peal that the people erect a perma nent monument to the fallen soldiers of the county in library park. It de . veloped later that patriotic men and ' women of the city had been working on this Idea for some time past, Following the major's address the 'audience led by Rev. D. B. Millard ' sang "America," after, which the - squad of company E fired a salute to the dead,' which was followed by the bugler blowing taps. Then the parade to the Bear Creek bridge was set In motion with J. W. ILawton as marshal and the high school band furnishing the music. Company E was the escort and the parade was led by the O. A.' R. vet erans In the post of honor followed by the Women's Relief Corps. Then came the returned soldiers, the Red Cross and the Junior Red Cross. . Stopping at the bridge and form ing In line the Junior Red Cross singing "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean," threw roses on the waters of Bear creek, followed" by the Red Cross women: who performed the Bame sentimental act as the band played appropriate music. Then com pany E fired a salute to the dead- and taps were sounded. Thus were the fallen marines honored." '-'' The? exercises at the Page theater i In honor of the Civil war dead im mediately followed., The theater was filled with people and the stage was patriotically deoorated with flags, .bunting and flowers. At the front and enter of the stage were two chairs covered with ' roses, one In red roses in memory of a G. A. R. man ' who died this year, and the other in white roseB In memory ot f departed V. R. C. member who pass ed away UiIb year.' Between the chairs was a Bmall floral monument of flowers representing a blending of the Blue and Gray. The chlof address was made by 1 'Rev. L. Myron Boozer.

DIED FOR HIGH IDEALS : (Continued from page one. FLORAL MONUMENT' TO FALLEN i mother en'iutrv will minffle with the dust of the men who foncht for the preservation of -the union, and that ns those men cave their lives in or der that America micht be united, these rnen have eiven their lives in order that the world niixht he united. Those men pave their lives in order to secure the freedom of a nation. These men hove eiven theirs to secure that freedom of mankind, and I look forward to nn nee when it will be iust' as impossible to recret the re sults of their' labor 'ns it is now im nossihle to reiret the result of the la bor of those wen who foncht for the union of the states. : I look for the time when every man who now puts his counsel against the united ser vice of mankind under the I.eninio of Nations will be iust ns nshnmed of it as if he rccretted 'the union of the states. The Old spirit Tou are aware as I am aware, that the airs of an older day are begin ning to stir again, that the standards of an old order are trying to assert themselves again. There is here and there an attempt to Insert into the (counsel of statesmen the old reckon ing of selfishness and bargaining and national advantage which were the roots of this war, and any man who counsels, these things advocates renewal of the sacrifice . which these men have made; tor It this is not the final battle tor right, there will be another that will be final. Let these gentlemen who suppose that it is Dosslble for them to ac complish this return to an order of which we are ashamed and that we are ready to forget, realize they can not accomplish it. The peoples of the world are awake and the peoples ot the world are in the saddle. Pri vate counsels of statesmen cannot now and cannot hereafter determine the destinies ot nations. It we are not the servants of the opinion of mankind, we are of all men the lit tlest, the most contemptible, the least gifted with vision. If we do not know courage, we cannot accomplish our purpose, and this age is an age which looks forward, not backward; which rejects the standard ot nation al selfishness that once governed the counsels of nations and demands that they shall give way to a new order of things In which only the questions will be "Is it right?" "Is it just?" "Is it in the interest of man kind?". Unity of Counsel This is a challenge that no previ ous generation ever dared to give ear to. So many things have happened and they have happened so fast, in the last four years, that I do not think many of lis realize what It is that has happened. : Think how im possible It would have been to get a body of responsible statesmen ser iously to entertain the Idea of the or ganization of a League of Nations four years ago! !-' A Personal Word If I may speak a personal word beg you to realize the compulsion that I myself feel that I am under. By the constitution of our great country I was the commander-ln chief of these men. . I advised the congress to declare that a state of war existed. I sent these lads over here to die. Shall I can I ever speak a word of counsel which is in consistent with the assurances 1 gave them when they came over? It Is Inconceivable. There Is something better, if possible, that a man can give than his life, and that Is his living spirit to a service that Is not easy, to resist counsels that are bard to resist, to stand against purposes that are difficult to stand ' against and to say "here stand I, consecrated in the spirit of the men who were once my comrades and-who are now gone, and who left me under eternal bonds of fidelity." Tho big and beautiful floral mon ument on the library lawn was made by the Red Cross women. Its bnso Is ot red roses, the center Is ot white roses, and the shaft ot blue snake heads gathered from the woods of Jackson county.
