Let Us All
Remember!
By HENRY SEDGWICK.
Memorial day has rome
ngnin. Let us retire Into our
selves. and let ns remember.
The cnrllest settlers in this
country, whether they cnnte with ('apt.
John Smith, with the Pilgrims, the T’u
rltnns, the Dutch, the Quakers, or the
Catholics, whether they came early in
tlie seventeenth century or whether
they came in the exodus from Ireland
In the lean yenrs of the nineteenth, or
In the flight before the reactionary do
minion established In Europe after
1848, or whether they came to escape
pogroms in the beginning of the twen
tieth century, all. in their respective
ways, grappled boldly with the difficul
ties of life, and brought their pur,, ,ses
to accomplishment. Let us remem
ber.
The noblest figure of the eighteenth
century, he the others who they may,
is that of George Washington, who in
the first grout trials of our national
life raised “a standard to which the
wise and the Just could repair," and
left the Issue In the hands of God.
Let us remember.
The noblest figure of the nineteenth
century, excepting no one, is that of
Abraham Lincoln, who by his heroic
saintliness, his heroic patience, ids he
roic conception of duty, his heroic hu
mility, led his people through the fiery
I trials of the Civil war. Let us remem
ber.
We have doubtless made mistakes;
we have neglected duties; we have
overestimated the value of riches; we
have cared too much for luxury; we
have failed to establish justice for the
masses; we have not brought democ
racy to ripeness; we have forgotten
the true road; we have sought ti ,wor
ship both God and mammon; l.^m
have not let the fires of hope—that
the spirit of brotherhood shall prevail
among all Americans and between
America and all the world—die out in
our hearts. Let us remember.
Now we confront the greatest trial
that our nation has faced. The strong
est power in the world, built up on it'
military foundation, as solid as the Ro
man Colosseum, and animated by tl
tanlc pride and ambition, has set out
to dominate the world. Let us remem
ber George Washington, shut our teeth,
draw the sword and fling the scabbard
away, until German sense of justice
shall triumph over German brutality.
This means effort, effort, effort; all tin
people, men and women, putting all
their strength into the great task until
the will of 100,000,000 people resmute
to put down wrong, shall prevail. It
means sacrifice of life and limb on the
plains of France, on the high sea', on
the Alpine slopes of Italy, and, at last,
on the roads and fields of Germany.
Tt means abstinence and self-denial at
home, cutting off luxury, cutting down
I
comfort, going without meat and
wheat, without candy and sugar, with
out the pleasures of plaiate. There is
something stimulating and refreshing
in self-denial and self-sacrifice. That
is the lesson of Valley Forge. Let us
remember it.
( an we not all together, os one peo
ple, with one voice, and one heart, on
Memorial day pray:
“May the powers that move through
the universe nnd reveal themselves in
the actions of men use us os their in
struments for high purposes, as they
used George Washington In his day,
nnd Abraham Lincoln in his day;
“May they steel our hearts to bear
privation, suffering, death, until wrong
shall he overthrown, and right be re
stored to its throne;
“May they strengthen our soldiers
and sailors, redouble the vigor of their
bodies and the might of their souls, so
that they shall compel victory to fol
low at their heels;
“And may we always In the time of
conflict, every hour of the day nnd
every hour of the night, remember
George Washington, and strike with
all our national might, putting the j
strength of 100,000.000 people into ea#h |
blow; and, in the hour of victory, re
member Abraham Lincoln, nnd lmve
charity for all and malice towurd
none.”
In tills state of mind we shall be the
better warriors, and go to battle like
Cromwell’s Ironsides, confident of vic
tory, or like Stonewall Jackson’s
troopers, with tlie fear of the Lord
in their hearts and the might of the j
Lord in their right hands. For what
is the “Lord” but the confidence of
Nearing “Taps”

n discipline,! man, pure from preju
f1**'e* ""lalnted by hatred, ennobled bv
charity, that he. in the place and a't
the ,nm* allotted to him, is serving
great ends for the good of mankind?
Tin- war must end in one, definite
simple way: The Prussian tvrannv
must be overthrown, kaiser, shining
armor, mailed fist, proclamations for
men to shoot their fathers and broth
ers, exhortations to outdo the Huns
Krtipp arsenals, military education!
and nil the devilish paraphernalia of
the imperial system, must go. For
that we must endure abstinence at
home; for thnt we must postpone the
comfortable years of increased wages
fairer prices, juster salaries and n
greater equality in sharing the ma
terial good things of the earth; for
that we must refrain from obstructing
the national will In any way, whether
by action, or partisan criticism, or in
pique or peevishness, and for that we
must put down obstructors with an
iron hand; for flint we must do nil
we can to send as large an army as
possible to the front, to supply It as
best as we can with cannon,' howit
zers, mortars, rifles, nirplanes. surgical
"n't". Y- M. C. A. huts, with munitions,
comforts, necessaries of all kinds, un
til tlie day of victory and pence shall
rise.
In this uncertain world, where the
forces that control the destinies of
men are hidden in clouds impenetrable
to the human eye, where half of human
history seems to lie fantastic tracery
such as a schoolboy draws on a frosty
window-pane, where life seems to the
wisest ‘‘a tale told by an idiot,” there
is hut one thing needful, and that is,
that where after careful thought, pain
ful and prayerful consideration, men
convince themselves that they see the
road of righteousness, they must take
that road and pursue it wherever it
may lead.
This is what the American people
have done, and therefore with un
troubled hearts on this Memorial day
m this fapious year 1918, they cele^
brate the memories of George Wash
ington and Abraham Lincoln. Let us
remember them In thought, word and
net
First Northern Volunteer.
The first volunteer for service during
the Civil war was Dr. Charles F. Rand
and his demise occurred in his home
in Washington. D. C„ some years ago,
after a long period of illness, the di
rect result of wounds received during
the war.
Although for a long time there was a
hearty dispute as to who was the first
volunteer to sign the roll when Presi
dent Lincoln issued his first call for
troops, careful comparison of all
claims and research as to difference in
latitude resulted in the bestowal of the
patriotic palm upon Doctor Rand, and
lie was recognized ns the first volun
teer by all the chief executives of the
nation, from President Lincoln to The
odore Roosevelt.
YANKEE GREETS
VERY HEARTILY
LONDON, May 25.—King George!
has met the real, made-in-Ohio dem
ocratic spirit.
A hearty slap on the shoulder, de
livered by ('apt. W. Mack, C'incinnat
ti, agent of the United States insur
ance board, brought home to the king
the kind of democratic spirit that is
customary among Americans.
It happened when Capt. Mack was
formally introduced to the king and
queen by Sir Henry Fowler, at Guild
hall. As a booster for his war insur
ance, the enterprising Amef-ican im
mediately asked their majesties for
their signatures, to encourage Ameri
can soldiers in England to sign also.
He acompanied the request to the
king with a welt-meant, though in
formal, slap on the shoulder.
The queen protested that she had
no table at hand.
“Soon remedied,” Mack replied
“Bend down, Sergeant.”
When it came to the king's turn
Mack’s fountain pen was leaky, and
he borrowed a sergeant’s. This was
dry, and Sir Henry then offered his
pen and his back, and the king used
both
Mack showed his American enter
prise following his introduction to
the king and queen, when he went to
an American camp, and waving the
autographs at the soldiers, said:
“Look at this, boys. I’ve just got!
the signature of the king and queen.
Now 1 want yours.”
All signed up. •
Mack has sold $1,500,000 war in
surance for the government.

PRO-HUN RATS MUST DIE
LONDON, May 27.—Millions of dis
loyal wasters in England are to be
killed, in a new campaign against
waste. The wasters condemned to
death are rats.
“We cannot afford to feed the rats,”
says a government appeal just sent
out, asking co-operation of all loyal
subjects in the slaughter. “We can
not raise too much grain, and we can
hardly hope to have enough for our
selves.”
The latest close estimates on rat
ravages are for 1908, when food which
now would be worth $200,000,000 was
destroyed by them in England.
