HEED OF AGE IS TO LIVE FOS NATION INSTEAD OF FACING GANNON'S MOUTH

Speaking at the Memorial services I In the Coliseum before a patriotic audience, Mr. Newton. McGuire of Indianapolis eulogized the names and deeds of the veterans. Excerpts from his address follow: Veterans and Compatriots: This is the day when we do honor to our soldiery, both the living and the dead. Veterans, you have endeared this day to the American people, and it can never be erased from their memory. The desecration of this day is the very thing that will cause your sons and descendants, as the responsibilities of the day are passed over to them, to re-establish and reclaim the day, from one of sports and races, and make It greater than ever before. Gratitude Is the fairest flower that sheds Its perfume in the heart, and your sons shall not and will not be found wanting. "Yours fs Proud Title." . Veterans, yours is a proud title. That good name which is better than riches, that Inspiring example which Is better than honors. We, of the present generation, can find no better standard to go by, no higher inspiration. We take as our model, the ideals which you have established as your abiding principles. It may be a hundred years after Lee's surrender to Grant before the soldier for the Union will be lully appreciated, but If that be true, It will not be the fault of the Association known as the "Sons of Veterans," of which I am today a representative. Our organization believes in the

perpetuation of your deeds of valor

and heroism, now, as wen as auer you are gone. We believe that we your sons as well as all of your beneficiaries, (which includes the general public) should receive first-hand from you, your choicest thoughts, ideas, memories and associations, to hand down to posterity. We believe in becoming active while the present is in close touch with the glorious past, that the future may be more secure. We do not desire to be the heirs and successors to your honor and glory. We do think, however, that we have a glorious heritage you gave it to us and we prize it highly. Inherent Patriotic Spirit. If that advantage means anything at all to us it means that we are natural and logical heirs and successors to the patriotic spirit of this country of which you and your organization have been the faithful guardians for so many, many years. "About Your Country." My dear children, I want to tell you something about your country. Emil Souvestre, the French writer, in his production entitled "The Attic Philosopher," said something that will interest the children. He makes the Attic Philosopher speak to his son, as follows: "PerhaDs my son you have never

thought what your country means; it

is all that surrounds you, an mat nas

brought you up and fed you, all that

you have loved. This grouna mai you see, these houses, these trees, those girls who go along there laughlive this is vour country!

"The laws which protect you. the

bread which pays for your work, the words you interchange with others, the joy and grief which come to you from the men and things among which you

live this is your countryc

"The little room where you used to see your mother, the remembrances she has left you, the earth where she

rests this is your country. You see it.

you breathe it everywhere! Think to yourself, my son, of your rights and duties, your affections and your wants,

your past and present blessings; write

them all under a single name ana

that name will be your Country. "What Your Flag Means." Now my children let me tell you something about your flag. For all the signs and symbols since the world began there was never another so full of meaning as the flag of this country. It means five thousand years of struggle upwards. Our flag is the cream of all religions. It stands for an equal opportunity to all the sons of men. It is not so much the flag, of our fathers as it is the flag of our children and of all children's children yet unborn. It means the richest, happiest, youngest people on the globe. It means protection to family, home and country. It is the power of the flag which linked together with God's power makes it possible for your fathers and mothers to take care of you. We believe that every man, woman and child, who is eligible and who loves his country and his flag, should identify himself with the Sons of Veterans, or the Sons of Veterans Auxiliary or some patriotic society to aid in the great work of interesting our young people in patriotic things. Veterans the cause for which you fought and the bravery which you have shown, you have written on the pages of history, you have recorded on tablets of stone and bronze, you have enisled on monuments of everlasting granite. Yea, you have inspired the erection of imposing structures and Memorial halls, but no page, no tablet, no

monument, no memorial can keep your : gallant deeds written In the minds. Inscribed in the souls, and engraved in. the hearts of the Incoming generations of people, when you have gone to your reward, like an organization of living

men, ready to take the lead in patriotically disposing of the vital, living

and momentous questions of the day.

one by one, as they arise. Our country needs the additional

precept of monumental organizations,

of willing hands, ready hearts, and earnest souls, breathing, beating, and throbbing, with the life blood of patriotism, to tell of the unwritten hstory. handed down from sire to son, to elaborate upon the printed page. Yea, to put the warmth of life into those cold, silent, dumb and voiceless SENTINELS OF PATRIOTISM. We, of the present generation, naturally feel that by inheritance, the responsibility rests on us, to preserve and defend Memorial Day, and make of this country of ours, the land that our soldier fathers intended it to be, and for which you gave your last full measure of devotion, over a million human lives in the greatest civil war in the history of the world. This task should fall squarely upon the shoulders of those who are most willing

ana trustworthy. We need to make over our citizenship as far as possible and educate and legislate along patriotic lines, for we are constantly fighting over' in civil life many of the questions that were supposed to have been settled in battle. But states cannot be saved once for all. New dangers arise with the prosperity of peace especially with exceptional and extraordinary prosperity augumented by a world war. We are already so absorbed in this commercialism, and war orders, that we are apt to go to the extreme, measuring everything by the standard of the almighty dollar, even to our patriotism and our love of country. We are already being cartooned in foreign countries as the money "Bugs

of. the World." Our principal weakness may be in our great strength. And as history repeats itself, we must guard against a downfall. It has b en said that, most men have found it harder to live for their country than to die for it, and that to live through months and years of steady and exacting labors in obscurity, without excitement and without conspicuous success, honectly, cheerfully and courageously, is far more difficult and more valuable discipline than to plunge forward, in the exhileration of battle, under admiring eyes, to a glorious death. Nevertheless it Is up to us of the younger generation to teach, preach and live for the things that our fathers shot for to keep alive the patriotic spirit that caused the American citizen to volunteer his services when needed. To cultivate a more general respect for the fundamentals of the Republic as well as conserve the virtues which have made us a great people.

We should take warning from thei fact that one of the most powerful! organized bodies of women in the j western world is the Daughters of thej Confederacy, who, with their assoc-j iate bodies, number more than a mil-i lion souls. For years, they have been j busy teaching and training their children to remember and respect thej principles of a lost cause. For years j they have been trying to make a cer-j tain prophecy come true, namely, the final declaration of Jefferson Davis, j when he said: "My people will yet) win back by diplomacy, all they have! lost by the sword." I live firmly in; the belief that the patriotism of this united country will never allow that prophecy to come true. And now in closing, let me tender to you at all times, the services of the : Sons of Veterans; and if we should:

measure up to the responsibility of carrying on the good work, we would discharge our duty fully, as any son would to the father.

FLAGS PLACED ON LOTS WHERE VETERANS REST

A flag and a bouquet of flowers surmounts each green mound under which a soldier is resting. This morning, flowers enough to make six hundred bouquets were contributed by school children of the city. These flowers were collected by the flower committees, made into bouquets and then distributed over the soldiers' graves in surrounding cemetaries. The United Spanish-American War Veterans marched in uniform to the veterans lot in Earlham . cemetery this morning where they fired the military salute. Then the members of the local, G. A. R. went to the graves of comrades in different cemeteries and planted flags. Sons of Veterans also assisted in the distribution of flowers and flags. The flower committee was made up of members of the Women's Auxiliaries. The members from the Women's Relief Corps were Mrs. Harriet Wigmore, Mrs. Kate Personette, Miss Iva Hart, Mrs. Nettie Wilson, Mrs. Amelia Henning; from the Ladies of the G. A. R., Mrs. Anna Snyder, Mrs. Alma Isenhour, Mrs. Laura Haner, Mrs.. Gilbert Henniger; from the Ladies' Auxiliary, Elma Isenhour, Delia Phenis and Emma Schneider.

GitlTES SHOWS DEBT PEOPLE OWE VETERANS

FOULKE URGES PEOPLE TO CLING TO EXAMPLE SET BY WAR VETERANS

Regret over his inability to attend Memorial services at the Coliseum was expressed by William Dudley Foulke iu a letter read by Luther M. Feeger. The letter follows: It is with extreme regret that I find myself unable to attend the Memorial services on Decoration Day, for 1 regard this as the most significant of all our national anniversaries. There is no more patriotic duty than to adorn the graves of those who died that our country might live and there are no men more deserving of honor than those who thus sacrificed them

selves to preserve our national existence. I But it is of very little use thus to j honor their memory if their example is to be lost. Indeed if we flinch from j

doing the same thing which they did in that terrible hour of our country's peril we dishonor them and we have no right to take part in these Memorial exercises What was it that they did? They resisted by armed force the efforts of those who would have destroyed the nation. Is it not equally our duty to resist by arms when the occasion comes any foes, either foreign or domestic, who would attempt to subjugate our country or to destroy its honor or its power? And if it be a duty to take arms in its defense is it not pre-eminently a duty to see that we are prepared to make that defence effective when the necessity shall come? Is it not just as unpatriotic and just as criminal to neglect today those measures by which alone we can defend America successfully as it will be to neglect to obey the call of our country to march forth to battle? The war of 1S12 and the Civil war have both of them taught terrible lessons of the dangers of unpreparedness. A hundred years ago America had to submit to the shame of the burning of her national capitol by a small body of invaders because our militia was undisciplined and unprepared. During the Civil war we were

compelled to learn by three years of battle, slaughter, and defeat how to subdue an adversary whose number and resources were insignificant In comparison with our own. At the present time we are liable to be confronted by an armament which we are utterly unable to resist and yet our house of representatives with fatuous blindness will not see the danger. It has cut down the very moderate provisions of the senate bill and refuses to give us either a sufficient body of regular troops or adequate means of raising them, while as to the citizen soldiery the provisions for bestowing a bonus upon he National Guard in the different staTes is more like a political scheme of pork barrel legislation than a genuine effort to defend the country. To place this citizen soldiery under any other authority than the president of the United States is not effective preparation for a national emergency. It is our duty to improve this occasion now and here by creating a public opinion which shall insist upon higher standards of national duty in our congressional representatives. And now a single word to those of our conscientious, but misguided fellow citizens who are urging their desire for peace as an argument against proper preparation. I would recall the language of our great war governor, Oliver P. Morton, the most illustrious of the sons of Indiana, the man who, above all others, was known as the friend of the soldiers whom we honor today. We heard then the same cry that we hear now and the peace which was demanded would have led then, as it may lead today, to the ruin of our country. Morton said in his great speech at Rockville: "I love peace as much as any man. Its sweets are as delicious to my taste as to that

NEW PARIS, O., May 30. George F. Crites. pastor of the .Christian church, delivered the address at the Memorial services here this afternoon which were held in the Christian

church. After the services, members of the G. A. R. and affiliated bodies marched to the Springlawn cemetery where appropriate ceremonies were performed at the graves of the departed soldiers. "We are met here to pay a tribute of respect to the men who fought for us," said Rev. Critec. "We owe them our gratitude for services they have performed for us." Other Battles Remain. "Although the war of arms is over, we still have the battles of life to fight." said the speaker. "The lives of these men inspire us. Americans are for peace but it is fitting that we should honor these men who had to fight to preserve the peace which we now enjoy." ifteen veterans were present at the services today. Several graves which have been made during the past year were decorated today and spe-

icial services held over them. Tribute

was also paid to the unknown dead. Services were held this morning in the cemetery north of town. Several soldiers are buried here and their memories were honored with floral tributes.

of any human being. But when I say this I mean peace that is safe, peace that is crowned with liberty and the blessings of an enlightened civilization. I do not mean that peace which is the sleep of death or which is purchased by foul dishonor, nor that peace which is but another name for submission to tyrants and traitors." Let us bear these words in our hearts and by making full preparation for coming emergencies let us pay the only genuine honor that we can to the dead heroes whose graves we decorate.

' Halt to Praise Veterans. "When our minds are busy with thoughts of present day wars," said the speaker, "we cannot fail to stop our daily grind of business and worry to pay a fitting tribute to the valor of these men who made this country's peace possible." The Commerce ' club band furnished the music at the program which was given at the school and headed the procession to the cemetery where additional services were held. The G. A. R., the W. R.
