Memorial nai/

The 30th day of May is our nation's I great funeral day and as such the] laws of the nation should protect it from desecration, but alas they dot not do so- One hears mingling with the sweet music of the dirge 'the soft tap of muffled drums, the bugle call ! for taps. We hear the hoarse throats of the fans on the fiefds where baseball and athletic sports of all lands are taking ~ place- Again, i when evening comes, on every side, : borne on the air which stirs the flags | in token of the nation's mourning, ; one can hear the sound of dancing / feet and lively music with shouts of laughter where some Memorial Day dance is in progress a hideous mock- i erv of the sacred -uipose of the dayWe do not object to dancing, games, sports or any • amusement, as the < young must have enjoyment and are i entitled to it, but. it is all out of place I on Memorial Day. In almost every fami'" there is some dear ones that ' they love, but now laid away- Is : there anyone who would wish to make i spdrt or attend or iaks part in a : dance oh a day made sacred to them by the death of one near and dear to them ? Even- human feeling with- j . in us cries out "No," and yet sy'ch 1 things take . place- A funeral day set ( ' aside by this nation as a tribute to

1 1 those brave men whose lives were of- 1 1 1 fered and whose blood shed that our I ; j country's life might be preserved and 1 1 1 our flag might stand today before the world with its honor unsullied and ; its -field of stars complete. I Surelv out of 365 days in a year i show their re.- : -ect by refraining from : unseemly conduct- ■ j We do not really believe these .'frolics on Memorial Day are always • intentional. It is often thoughtless- . ness. It is just because the young [ • generation needs a little more education in the .history of that day. But ' it is largely the fault of father, mother and guardians of our youth- , More than three generation have , passed since President Lincoln, in ; dedicating our national cemetery, de- . i clared, "The world will little note 1 ; I nor long remember what we say here," but it can never forget what I ; : they did here again. Memorial Day 1 1 i is not only sacred to the Grand Army j . •. of the Republic, but we must not for- ' i . get_the-fact that our nation have the i i honored dead of those heroes that i ■ served their country in the Spanish- ; American and the World War- They I should share in the honor and respect - They done their part. It is for ur , > the living, to show our gratefu'ne

• to all those that have passed away, r for on this day we renew our conseI cration. our fidelity, our true loyalty, ! our vigilance and. great principles and I ideals of our country, and we must assure ourselves that while we will ■ keep the faith our sires kept we will i pra-- that our footsteps mav be timed i to the rhythm of the march of peaceLife gives nothing to mortals with- . out great sacrifices and labor- ; Therefore, let all urge the postponment of games on this day, that the r day mav be kept sacred to those "who ' freely gave the last full measure of > devotion" to the land they loved. . And we call upon our people to see , to it that this 30th dav of May. which , is our country's most hallowed day. i to abstain from and di scon rage all and every mannei of things that ! might bring disrespect upon itLet every house and business place : pqt out "Old Glory" at sunrise, and' ' j those that' display their flag on poles, ' should have them raised at half mast I until noon, when it should be raised i to full staff or the top and due respect to the flag requires its lowering A.

AN OPEN LETTER I Thi» is an appeal to all red-blooded American people of Cap^T May City and to all those .who make their home with ns during *3* * summer season. , By and through the efforts of the Progressive League o- jr City, they have created a Committee of Business Men to rai» Jut necessary funds for the especial purpose of erecting a Mr . iriat Monument to commemorate the deeds of our brave boys w o left their homes in defense of their country, of those in the (5\il War, Spanish-American War and the World War, the sons and grandsons. They gave heroic service to our country in its hour of need and a lasting example of patriotism to the world.. They made the declaration of Independence mean what it says, that all men are | . J 1 Jj created equal before the law. The American soldier has never known defeat, and his deeds of valor and heroism have .become classic in history and song. Back -of us stands the glorious history pf a free people, and in front of us on the one hand is a continuation of those principles and blessings for which our forefathers fought, and the extension of human liberty, justice and equality. Therefore, it has been resolved that this committee put forth every effort to purchase and erect an everlasting stone monument to commemorate and perpetuate the deeds of the young men of this town, that posterity may know what they have performed in the cause of human rights and for the inspiration of the coming generationContributions will be gratefully received by any member of the committee.
