Following is a compilation of what some of our recent Presidents have had to say about Memorial day. They were compiled by the National Republic: Benjamin Harrison: I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning. I have never quite been able to feel that the flags were appropriate on Decoration day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. We mourn for them as comrades who have departed, but we feel the glory of their djing and the glory of their achievement covers all our great country, and has set them in, an imperishable roll of honor. William McKinley: Blessed is that country whose soldiers fight for it and are willing to give the best they have, the best that any man has, their own lives to preserve it because they love it Such an army the United States has always commanded in every crisis of her history. From the War of the Revolution to the late Civil War, the men followed that flag In battle because they loved that flag and believed In; what it represented. Theodore Roosevelt: Besides the material results of the Civil War, we are all, North and South, incalculably We are richer for its mepiories. richer for each grim campaign, for battle. We are the each hard-fougricher for valor displayed alike by thpse who fought so valiantly for the right, and by those who, no less val- half-maste- d ht iently, fought for what they deemed the right, and by those who, no less valiantly, fought for what they deemed the right. We have in us nobler capacities for what is great and good because' of the infinite woe and suffering, and because of the splendid ultimate triumph. Woodrow Wilson: America, I have said, was reborn by the struggle of the Civil War, but America is reborn every day of her life by the purposes we form, the conceptions we entertain, the hopes that we cherish. We live in cur visions. We live in the things that we see. We live, and hopes abound in us as we live, in the things that we purpose. Let us go away from this place renewed in our devotion to daily duty and to those ideals which keep a nation young, keep it noble, keep it rich in enterprise and achievement; make it to lead the nations of the world in those things that make Tor hope and for the benefit of mankind. Warren In the aspirawe that may gain through todays contemplation of the deeds of these, our heroes of all wars, we are called to look toward tomorrows obliG. Harding: tions Our country has never failed to measure, up to the demands presented to it in behalf of humanity, and never will. When it ceases to meet these drafts, it will no longer be our country; it will be, if that time ever comes, the wretched and decaying memorial of another civilization which has crumbled, of another ideal wh'ch has failed, of another ambition for mens happiness which has somehow gone away. We feel, aye, in our hearts we know, that ours is not to be that fate. We believe that the torch will flame more brightly in our hands, that we will hold it safe and high aloft, and that its light will help, at least, to point the way for humanity on the path of safety and in the task of building for all time. Calvin Coolidge: Our country can not exist on the renunciation of the heroic souls of the past. Public ser- vice, from the action of the humblest voter to the most exalted office, can not be made a mere matter of hire and salary. The supporters of our institutions must be inspired by a more dominant motive than a conviction that their actions are going to be profitable. We can not lower our standards to what we think will pay, but we must raise them to what we think is right. It is only in that direction that wo shall find true patriotism. It is only by that method that. wTe can maintain the rights of the individual, the sovereignty of the states, the integrity of the Union, the permanency of peace, and the welfare of mankind. You soldiers of the Republic enrolled under her banner that through your sacrifices there might be an atonement for the evils of your day. This is the standard of citizenship for all time. It is the requirement which must be met by those who hold public That must be the ideal of place. those who are worthy to share in the glory which you have given to the gations. |
