Patriotic Meeting Held At The First M. E. Church Last Evening Was Largely Attended.

YOUNG MEN OF TODAY WOULD ANSWER CALL

Fact That Day Is Desecrated ! in Indiana By Automobile : Races Is Deplored Mrs. i Judson Talks.

Although censuring in a measure, those persons who fail to observe Memorial Day, Daniel W. Comstock, department commander of the G. A. It. in Indiana and John L. Rupe, in speaking before the patriotic meeting held under the auspices of the Brotherhood of the First M. E. church last evening, declared that in case of a war a call to arms would be responded to and the youth of today would rush to the defense of the country. Mr. Comstock said that many attach little importance to Memorial Day and do not enter into its observance as veterans believe they should. However, he says that they should be excused, inasmuch as they have grown up einco the war and it is a matter of history with them, whereas with the veterans it is a matter of personal experience. Mr. Rupe deplored the fact that the day Is being desecrated by automobile

races. He spoke of the number of by the country in cases of emergency.

ily these are the lessons which war teaches. "It is for us to see that each person possesses a fair degree of liberty and is protected in his rights; to see that labor Is paid for Its toil; that capital is protected; that the poor are not oppressed. And when we do this and cultivate the spirit of honesty we have done a great deal towards maintaining our free institutions. The Tree

jof Liberty must receive watchful care."

Congratulates Church. Congratulating the First M. E. church upon its custom of holding patriotic exercises year after year, John L. Rupe said that he remembered that during the war there was a time when the Methodist Episcopal church was not loyal to the cause of the union. Mr. Rupe in the course of his talk declared that he and many other veterans of the civil war regretted the fact that a large number of people d'1 not observe Memorial day as they should. What It Cost In Blood. "A new generation has grown up and now conducts the affairs of this counttry," said Mr. Rupe, "and we sometimes feel that there may not be an appreciation of what the boys of '61 did. Some of us see automobiles filled with pleasure seeking men and women, boys and girls, going through this city to Indianapolis to attend the races on Decoration day. We don't like it, simply because May 30 was set apart first by John A. Logan as the day when we should honor the soldier dead. It ought to be a patriotic occasion a day observed in every section of the country, to recount the deeds done by the civil war soldiers. We can't be too often reminded of what it cost in blood to preserve the union. Tomorrow many people of the country will assemble and gather flowers and scatter them in rich profusion upon the graves of the honored dead. The people who observe this day are ennobled by it; they love their country better, and we think that no one should desecrate it. Would Fight If Called. "However, I know that it has been more than forty years Bince the conflict ended. It is merely a matter of history to the younger generation. I believe these same people who v ill go to the races tomorrow would stand

motorists passing through , Richmond to Indianapolis and said that the veterans do not like to know that their

cne day is being spent in amusement O. S. Brown Presided.

Dr. D. W. Stevenson welcomed the

members of the G. A. R., Sons of Veterans, W. R. C, Spanish-American War Veterans and D. A. R. at the

meeting. D. E. Brown, president of

the M. E. Brotherhood presided at the meeting. Music was furnished by the church orchestra, and a horn solo was given by Philip Gates. The church auditorium was crowded. During the course of his talk, Mr. Comstock said : Acts of Heroism. "We may well excuse those who at

tach little importance to Memorial

Day and do not enter into the observance as heartily as we do. They have grown up since the civil war and they can't be expected to take that interest. It is not a matter of memory to them but a matter of hearsay. Ours is a personal experience, and it can't but be wholesome and elevating to recall that period of which I' speak. The Integrity of the Republic waB threatened and response to the call for volunteers was made. The war developed acts of heroism. It is true that we have had acts of devotion in every age and in every war but the civil war Illustrated that men could rise to the higher planes and respond with the offerings of their lives. The Ultimate Sacrifice. - "When a man offers his lite to his country it is the ultimate sacrifice he can go no further. The women also did their part and many regretted that they had not more to offer. "The war made men better acquainted with one another and it also made the north and the south better acquainted. The men of the south and the men of the north respected one another more highly following the war than ever before. Both found that the other was of the true American type. Justified by Conditions. ."After all, the lesson of the war teaches that while war Is to be deplored there are other conditions which justify it. Free government is worth the sacrifice of human life. Home, family, friendship, liberty and free government Is worth the cost. The right of free speech, production of property, devotion to home and fam-

JUDGE BARHORST

DOES HIS DUTY TO RHEUMATIC

SUFFERERS If you suffer from Rheumatism and don't read this advice, then the terrible disease must have robbed you of your power to be fair to yourself. Read it: "I, John Barhorst, Justice of the Peaee of McLean Township, Ft. Loramie, Ohio, do certify that after treatment by three doctors without result, I have been cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by using two bottles of RHEUM A. It is now two years since I used the remedy, and I am stl- as well as ever. Previous to using RHEUMA I was a cripple, walking with crutches, and I feel It my duty to let other sufferers from Rheumatism know what it will do. The result seems almost miraculous to me. I have advised RHEUMA to at least a dozen persons, and each one speaks as highly of it as I. I will answer any one suffering from the disease if a two-cent stamp is enclosed." May 31, 3912. .- You can secure a bottle of RHEUMA for only 50 cents at Leo H. Fihe's and he says if not as advertised, money back. It's just as good for Gout, Arthritis, Lumbago and Sciatica, (AdvcrtisemenO

In such an event leaders will spring up among us and carry on the work. Wayne County Noted Men. "What did we know about war? "What did Sol Meredith know about war when the first call for volunteers was made? Meredith was a tall, lank, young man, who walked most of the way to Indiana from North Carolina. He was poor, but he built a reputation by force of his own merit. He was clerk of Wayne county at the time he joined the ranks, and he had been a candidate for congress. He took "charge of the iron brigade," and no brigadier general has a military record superior to his. W. W. Dudley, another Wayne county man, a captain in Sol Meredith's brigade, lost a leg at Gettysburg. Joe Stidham was killed. Oran Perry, who grew up in our midst, distinguished himself In every way. Major Lacey is another. I mention these men, not because they did more than other Wayne county officers and privates, but because they are types of the Wayne county soldier. "When they returned they took their places in the store, office and on the farm. They have stood for good citizenship and education. The men who wore the blue have stood by their country, and have used their influence for right. You should all brace up and take your places in life today. Don't .let any one tell you that you have one foot in the grave, because you haven't. You can exert a vast amount of influence if you will work for the right things." Southerners Were Fighters. Following Mr. Rupe, J. B. Arnold gave a short talk upon "The Flag." He referred to the fighting qualities of the southerners, saying that if the north had been fighting with England, that war would have ended in three months, but as Americans were fighting Americans it required a period of four years to end the conflict. Mr. Arnold related the history of the American flag, and recited the poem, "The Star Spangled Banner." What the D. A. R. Does. Mrs. James M. Judson, representing the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, explained what the organization is doing along the line of teaching school children about the American flag, and about great soldiers and statesmen. Mrs. Judson also eaid that the Richmond chapter of the D. A. R. is now planning to have a story telling hour in the schools and libraries, at which times soldiers and others will be asked to make talks. She declared that, in the opinion of the members of the organization, it Is better to engrave upon the hearts of boys and girls the high principles for which men fought than to erect temples. Mark Historical Places. "In the east the D. A. R. are marking places where the American revolutionary battles were fought and where things were said and done which led up to the war, said the speaker. "We might mark historical places in Wayne county, and we may do it later. We believe our work lies in patriotic education. We are attempting to tell children how to vote, what

the constitution means, and how the flag was first made. Books. Distributed Here. "We have had small books printed In five different languages, and have distributed them among foreigners in this city. We are teaching the children of Richmond to respect May 30 and June 14 Flag day." A number by the orchestra complet

ed the program of the evening.

FUND FOB HIGHWAY LARGELY INCREASED Cement Manufacturers Donate $2,500,00 For Road.

(Palladium Special) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 30. The fund being raised for the construction of a perfect highway to extend across the continent from New York to Chicago has been Increased $2,500,000 through the subscription of the Association of American Portland Cement Manufacturers. This represents one per cent of the cement production for a period of three years and practically assures the success of the highway movement. The motion passed the Cement Manufacturers without a dissenting vote, and the organization further approved of the project by a set of resolutions heartily endorsing it. In these resolutions it was set forth that the present type of public highways does not meet the demands of changing conditions, arising from the rapid change from horse-drawn to selfpropelled vehicles. This problem is one which has been carefully investigated by the Association of American Portland Cement Manufacturers with the result that the question of the Ocean-tc-Ocean Highway was presented before the meeting of the organization at Chicago. The highway problem is one which is rapidly claiming the attention of men in all walks of life. It has a social and economic side which will have a tremendous bearing on conditions generally, and there is no part of the country .which will not be materially benefited by the perfect highway. It is the idea of those who are furthering the proposition that this highway is to serve as a nucleus for a net work of good roads, and it is believed that it will stimulate the building of perfect roadways in every state in the union, just as the sample highway laid in New York state several years ago has brought about the excellent road conditions of that state. That concrete Is the material best adapted for the purpose Is the belief of those who have made good roads a specialty. Once a concrete road Is constructed, the problem of up-keep will reduce itself to a minimum. The concrete highway is practically Indestructible, not being subject to the change of the elements. It is also dustless, and will stand up under the strain of the heaviest traffic. The city of Indianapolis will soon have a sample of perfect road construction to show to the country, work having commenced on Meyers boulevard, which will convert a part of that thoroughfare into a solid concrete highway. First-class concreting material will be used in the construction of this road, the sand and gravel being selected with the greatest care. Blaine Miller an expert highway engineer, will have charge of the work, and he will have the assistance of C. D. Frank, assistant engineer of the Universal Portland Cement Company, of Chicago, who will act in an advisory capacity. Indianapolis good roads enthusiasts are taking great interest in the work, being on hand every day to watch the pouring of the concrete.

!G OF MAINE MONUMENT

Sailors and Marines From the Thirteen Battleships North Atlantic Fleet P articipate in Big Land Parade at New York City.

of

(National News Association) NEW YORK, May 30. While bands played the Star Spangled Banner, the huge flags which draped the National Maine monument fluttered to the ground this afternoon and the great shaft shone forth as a memorial to the brave men who lost their lives in the disaster, which was one of the causes of the war with Spain. The United States was not alone in honoring her dead heroeB, for a detachment of Cuban soldiers, sailors from the warship Cuba, and a commission formed of members of the Cuban senate participated in the ceremonies. The sailors and marines from the thirteen battle ships of the North Atlantic fleet lying in the Hudson river, and the sailors and soldiers from the warship Cuba, landed at noon today and assembled in Forty-fifth street near Fifth Avenue in preparation for the big land parade. Winslow Grand Marshal. Rear Admiral Cameron McRea Winslow, U. S. N., was grand marshal of the parade, with Rear Admiral Fletcher in command. The United Spanish War Veterans occupied a prominent part in the marching column, under the command of State Comamnder C. W. Herrick. The New York National Guard was represented by the Sixtyninth regiment, the First Regiment Cavalry and the Naval Militia. Troops of United States army from near-by posts also participated in the parade, which proceeded up Fifth avenue to Fifty-ninth street, thence west to Columbus Circle, around the westerly side of the Columbus monument and up Broadway to Sixty-sixth street. Here the parade broke up into various divisions. The militia marched through Central park back to fifty-ninth street and formed in mass formation there with the head of the column at Broadway. The Spanish Veterans marched down Eighth avenue and stopped with the head of their column at the entrance to Central park. Directly in front of the monument In Columbus Circle were the Cuban soldiers and sailors, who faced the speakers' stand. Thus the marchers were spread out in a fan-like formation surrounding the monument. Celebrities Review Parade. As the parade passed the Plaza hotel it was reviewed by General James Grant Wilson, John W. Keller, W. R. Hearst and other members of the National Maine Memorial Monument committee, who gave a formal luncheon at the Plaza. In the reviewing and luncheon party were also Secretary of the Navy Daniels, Rear Admiral Badger, Rear Admiral Sigsbee, the Rev. Father Chadwick, Bishop Greer, Mayor Gaynor and many other prominent national, state and city officials. The reviewing party followed the parade to Columbus Circle and took their places in the stands erected there and at 3:30 o'clock the unveiling cere

monies were begun by a prayer by Bishop David H. Greer, of New York. Following- the prayer General James Grant Wilson gave an address, presenting the monument to the city. The bands then broke forth into the Star Spangled Banner and the flags were pulled aside and the monument was revealed. With the bands still playing several floral wreaths were rlaced at theibase of the monument. The first wreath placed was presented by President Wilson on behalf of the United States, and was put in iositlon by Father Chadwick, chaplain of the Maine when she met her fate in Havana harbor fifteen years ago. Mrs. Frederick Couder, who christened the Maine at her launching, placed a wreath from the state of Maine. The daughter of Mayor Gaynor placed the wreath presented by New York city, and three Cuban envoys placed the wreath from the Cuban nation. The state of New York also presented a wreath and Rear Admiral Sigsbee, who commanded the Maine at the time of the disaster, placed a wreath on behalf of the navy. Gaynor Gives Address. Mayor Gaynor gave an address of acceptance on behalf of the city of New York, followed by addresses by Secretary of the Navy Daniel and Rear Admiral Sigsbee. At the luncheon at the Plaza only one large table was used. This was decorated with a papier mache representation of Havana harbor, with Moro Castle, the Cabanas and the Maine as she lay at anchor before she was blown up. Another decoration showed the burial of the Maine last year, when the ship was raised, towed out to sea and sunk. The naval idea was carried out in the souvenirs, which were in the form of two-inch navy shells. Survivors of Disaster. In the stands erected at Columbus Circle were many survivors of the diaster, and the families of the men who lost their lives when the ship was de

stroyed. Widows, mothers and children of the brave men whose lives had been sacrificed, came together to do honor to the dtad. The battleships arrived in Hudson river early yesterday morning, and had scarcely dropped anchor before the cruiser Cuba, with the envoys extraordinary and a detachment of the Cuban army on board, steamed up the river. The battleships were open to the public yesterday and today, and many people availed themselves of an op

portunity to visit the fighting craft. The Cuba and her crew was one of the most interesting features of the naval display. Some time ago the Cuban government decided to take part, in the exercises, and the senate voted an appropriation to send the cruiser, a detachment of soldiers and a committee of members of the senate. The cruiser left Havana on May 23. Some of the battle ships were in the vicinity of Vera Cruz. Mexico. whn they received orders to rrooed to New York for the unveiling of the monument, and immediately weiplu-d anchor and joined the remainder of the fleet outside the harbor, and the entire fleet steamed up the river in single file.
