Religion and Patriotism are inter
woven like the threads of a fabric.
Destroy the one and you destroy the
other. From the immemorial, na
tions have had special times and oc
casions to lnculate lessons of grati
tude and patriotism. This day
brings us to a place in our Nation's
life when we are in a contemplative
mood. We are glad to accord to the
soldiers, both living and dead, a dis
tinctive place in our affections. That
place was won In our hearts by the
bloody scars and human sacrifices
for us. As the years roll on their
ranks are being depicted until today
those vast armies which proudly
marched with Grant and Sherman
and Thomas and Mead through that
awful conflict are now, with few ex
ceptions at rest In honored graves.
Today there was heard the slow.
tramping of feet, the hushed voice,
the touching prayer and tomorrow
the last will have answered the last
roll call. But while time Bhall last
with us as a nation, we shall unfurl
the Stars and Stripes over their
graves and let it revel In the breeze
as a token of their heroism and our
lasting gratitude.
We are rich today because they
bravely darer and died. This mem
morlal is theirs; won amid the
sounds of muskets and the flashing
of blood red steel. We lay upon our
Relves a pledge, scaled with martyrs'
blood, to tell the succeeding ages the
triumphs of their heroism.
Our flowers can find no Bweeter
use than to cover their graves with
their rich perfume. There Is one
debt of war our Nation has never
paid It can never pay Us debt of
gratitude. Thank God for noble
men! For the Nation which their
lives has ransomed! Thank God for
the women! Too often do we forget
their work and labor of love, their
agony and their prayers. Go bring

Who says we do not need to call
that we pay them a tribute?
And the boys of 1898? What a
source of satisfaction to note the
spirit of patriotism so strongly en
trenched in the American youth?
It was the moan of the men of the
Maine that was the death knell of
Spanish pride. And the north and
south clasped hands in the mighty
druggie? And now as the twilight
gathers and the day closes let us
think of the price of our freedom and
our country's honor, and even cher
ish the memory of those who fought
for the flag.
As a steamer was plowing Its way
across the waves which were racing
toward the coast of Virginia, the
Captain said, as he swept his hand
out over the water; "Here is the
spot where thlry years ago my ship
went down." All the men and wo
men crowded to the side of the vessel
to look out over the waves. After a
little, a bright eyed Miss turned to
the Captain and said: "Where did
you say , Captain?" "Right here,
came the answer. Again, a young
man, from the other side of the boat
leaned out and Bald: "Where, Cap
lain? ' "Kight here! For a mo
ment all was silent, but finally a lit
tle girl looked up and said: "Right
here, is a big place, Captain, and I
don't see anything of your ship."
But there was a sigh and a scar in
the heart of the Captain.
So have rolled the waves of the
years, and the swift events of our
Nation's History, over all this great
event which has filled our hearts
with agony and sorrow and prayer
and we have halted again, today to
Bee the place where they went down
"Here sloop the brave who sank to
rest, v
By all their country's honors bless

, Since the days when Moses called
the attention of that ancient people
to their passover and Its moaning,
It has become a part of good morals
as well as a command to the living,
to keep ever green in memory the
sacrifices of the patriots. Our Re
public Is as sacred In the sight of
Cod as was that ancient Israel. God
Is no respector of persons. Had H
mens attention to this patriotic sac
rillce? Since the battle flags were
wound up In their stains and tatters
and placed in the State House, for
safo keeping and as momentofs of
heroism, 10,000,000 foreigners have
come to our land. I call attention
to the ten million men, women and
children who have come to take the
place of the ones who have fallen in
the struggle into patriotic graves.
Are we aware that we are fast be
coming an Immigrant Nation? The
vessels which brought a quarter of
our population are still upon the Beas.
We are all the children of the Immi
grant. They have as good a right
here as do we, and now that they are
here we must teach them to feel
that this is their country. They
must be taught what means that
empty sleeve or ugly sear.
Again, who says we do not need to
remeber this day? Since the flags
were furled, there has come to our
soli a great host of children. It
seems strange to these gray-haired
ires to hear them say: "All this
happened before my time." But to
day, how small the companies of men

Shine's address was most Impressive
and was listened to with close at
tention by all.
On Monday from two to five
o'clock a reception was given to the
class at the school and the school
year came to a close, this occa
sion was marked by evident sorrow
on the part of the sisters and pupils
alike at the close of the school and
the end of the pleasant times which
all had so enjoyed. The sorrow of
the pupils at leaving the school was
most marked. During the reception
refreshments were served consisting
of a five course luncheon at which
all the delicacies of the season were
served and to which all did ample
justice.
This closes one of the most sue
cessful terms of the school In this
city. The class which was graduated
this year was composed of one young
man and six young ladles and it was
fully up to the high average of years
past in mentality, it is composed of
the brightest and ablest students of
the school and there is no doubt but
each of them enters upon life fully
equipped to make a grand fight and
to win success. The well known ex
cellence of the curriculum of the
Catholic schools renders it certain
that a high standard of education is
bound to be maintained and that all
who graduate from that institution
with high honors have the best equip
ment with which to enter the world's
battle.

a pleasant visit of several days in

Colonel had a delightful time while

of Plattsmouth at heart and his many

that he could return feeling they had
made distinct advances during the
past year. He is personally a very
popular man and has demonstrated
that he is a newspaper man of more
