Joined In paying homage to the men who sacri ficed or tendered their lives for their coun try in 1U time of greatest peril. Yet Decoration day was celebrated and celebrated, too, with the same devoted real as though the nun shone brightly. Though It could not damper the ardor of patriotism, the rain and chill air did mar the ceremonies and In some casts prevent them entirely. The great street parade the general exercises In Hanscom park and the Thurston Rifles function at Frosiect Hill cemetery had to be abandoned. The gen eral exercises were held In the First Chris tian church tabernacle, on Nineteenth be tween Farnam and Harney streets. There Senator Norrls Broun was the orator of the day and there men and women and children assembled In loving tribute to the living and dead heroes of the civil war. The Rifles postponed their ceremonies until Sunday. The beatulful service of casting flowers upon the waters, for the sailor dead, originated by Mrs. C. M. Peters of Omaha, and observed annually all over the nation, was performed In the launching of a floral boat on the bosom of the Missouri river. Whole City Gives Recognition. Early In the day flags were unfurled from all public buildings. The banks, stores, libraries and schools were closed. All busi ness paused In reverence for the soldier dead who sleep beneath the sod. It was the thirty-ninth observation of Memorial day In Omaha. The first waa In JxijS, when the few young men who had held services and strewed flowers over the few newmade graves In Omaha at that time In accordance with the order Issued by Oeneral John A. Logan, then command ing the Orand Army of the Republic. Something of tho spirit of the old war days seemed to permeate the breast of every old man wearer of the blue. His . ( step was more elastic; his bowing shoul . jtylers came up In a brave attempt to attain liAhe squareness they had when he marched J ' away to the thrilling jnusio of the hand iwriy-BiK year ago, puis quicaenea under the thrilling, memory-Inspiring notes of the martial airs and the eloquence of the orator. All Eyes on the Sky. In many a house uncle or grandpa;, who usually sleeps late, was up before tha rest were awake, looking out anxiously at the sky. And by the time the rest of the fam ily were ready for breakfast he appeared quietly but proudly In his well brushed suit of blue with the badge on the left breast. A harpy smile played about the firm Ilpa of every veteran who appeared on the street and moved his feet one mora to the inspiring music of "61. The day was the one of the year and the survivors of that brave army In whose memory It Is observed all over tho country did It full justice, as they always do. Some walked with canes and crutches; some who have been on beds of sickness for months made the supreme effort and arose and walked today. It was the day of days to which they had looked forward for weeks, and having participated In Its devotions and ceremonies the heroes were willing to pay for the privilege by more weeks on beds of pain. Women First Oat. , The condition of the weather brought um brellas and overcoats Into requisition, but on tha whole the temperature was satis factorymore so than great heat, which often results In exhausting some of the venerable men, whose spirits are always so willing and whose flesh Is sometimes weak. The earliest evidence of the observance of the day was the departure of the Ladles of the Grand Army at I a. m. with a wagonload of flowers and carryall convey ing the delegation of forty children and members of the organisation with their banners and flags to Forest Lawn ceme tery, where the ritual exercises of strewing flowers on the graves of the 800 soldiers burled at Forest Uwn were carried out. About twenty-five little girl dressed In white and decked with the national colors, wlih Miss Vesta Geiser attired as "Co lumbia, performed the ceremony of strew ing flowers over the graves at the Soldiers' Circle, assisted by a company of little hoys. The service waa beautiful and Im pressive and was accompanied with appro priate snugs and recitals. In addition to tlila special service the soldier' monument was adorned with wreath of evergreen, and details from the several posts and Woman's Relief corps looked after the decoration of Iso lated grave throughout the cemetery and a the other cemeteries about the cltv. Flags had in the meanwhile beeen placed at ach of the soldiers' grave. SEXATUR BHUWN TO THE VKTKRAKS loans Sta teaman Kstol Old Soldier for Their Immortal Service.

Before an audience of millers from all parts of the country, at- tending the mass convention of the Millers' National federation, and marking the largest gathering of millers ever held In this country, Secretary of War Taft this afternoon made an address at the Odeon on the topic, "Recent Instances of National Altruism." The assembly constituted the final session of the convention of the federation, which M had Invited Secretary Taft to address the "'body. President J. W. Burk'of Sprlngfleld, i" presided and Introduced former Missouri , Governor E. O. Stanard. a miller of St. Loul. who In turn made a brief speech Introducing Secretary Taft. Secretary Taft' Speech. Secret an' Taft spoke of the customs of memorial day and mentioned the civil war as the great epic of the nations history; then he turned to later Incidents. He ald In part : 1 ask your attention today, therefore, to the page of the nation's history covering the last ntn years, with the hope of howlng that there never has been, on the part of anv country, a greater exhibi tion of pure altruism than that exhibited by the Cnltrd Sta'es from the beginning of the Spanish war down to the present day toward th6 peoples who were Imme diately affected. As we read the history of a man or a nation, that which excites our admiration is courageous action for htrh no motive can be found save tlmt of a desire to dlsebarge a duty to man kind. A studv of the conduct of our na tion with respect to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, covering now nearly a dec ade, ought to fill every American with pride. I do not mean to say that there were not Americans who entered upon the war, or favored the Cuban or the Philip pine policy from motives of selfishness, and with a hope of increasing our trade and enlarging our dominion from the mere love of exploitation and empire, but the great body of the people went Into and fought out tho. Cuban war. assumed the burden of the temporary government of Cuba, and the more or less permanent government of Porto Rico, fought out the Philippine wars and assumed the government of the Phil ippines, all from a sense of duty only, and that most reluctantly because they could not foresee the extent of the burdens which we were taking up. The Gain In Cuba. After discussing Cuban conditions in de tail Secretary Taft said: In May, 1903, the United States turned over to the republic the control of Cuba. During me intervention mere naa Dcen held elections for municipal officers, and also for the members of a constitutional convention. At the Instance of the United States there was Introduced Into the con stitution what was known as the "Piatt amendment," by which the United States was given the right to Intervene at any time in order to maintain In Cuba a gov ernment of law and order. We thus se cured the right to act In support of the government which we had paid out so much money and so much blood to establish. For three years and a half the republic of Cuba maintained Itself with great ap parent prosperity, but an abuse by tho party In control of Its executive power In respect to elections brought on an Insur rection, which the government of the re public had not properly prepared Itself to resist or suppress, and the Island was soon In the throes of a war which bale fair to destroy for several years Us agri cultural wealth and to bring about a rain that awful candltton which Insurrections against Spain had produced. Again the United States Intervened; sent first a for midable fleet, and then an army of 6,000 men, secured a dlsbandment of the op posing forces and established a provisional government. This It did under a proclama tion which promised a restoration of the republic as soon as tranquility was re stored to such an extent as to permit the holding of a fair election, and the deter mination of those persons upon whom a government could be properly devolved. In this Intervention the I'nited States has already spent about 34.000,01)0 and will be put to a possible additional expense of per haps $3,000,000 more. The president Is given authority to receive from the Julian treas ury such sums as the condition of that treasury may permit to reimburse the United States for the expense of Inter vention, but it is quite unlikely that In the various calls that there are upon the Cuban treasury for works of Improvement and for the bettering of I ne government, any large part of these funds thus ex pended will b reimbursed to the United States. Porto Rlran Condition. Referring to Porto Rico, the speaker said: There is complete, free trade between Porto Rico and the United Slates and all custom duties collected In the United States on Porto Rlcan products subsequent to the date of Spanish evacuation, amounting to nearly 3.UoO,0uO, have been refunded to the Island treasury. The loss to the revenues of the United State from the free admis sion of Porto Rlcan products Is $1&,ijuO.0O0 annually. In the making of tobacco into cigars and cigarettes and of cane into sugar a considerable number of the labor ing class find mechanical employment, but the wealth of the Island Is directly de pendent upon the cultivation of the soil, U) cane, tobacco, coffee and fruit, for which we in America provide With out our fostering benev.j. . mis Island would be a unhappy and prostrate a are some of the neighboring British, French, Dutch and Danish Islands. During the last two years of Spanish domination the trade balance against the Island waa over 312, haViOO, while the present balance of trade In favor of the Island under American con trol Is 2,500,0(X). The total of exports and Imports has Increased from about t25.00n,ono under Spain to 34t.OJ0.0O0 under our sov ereignty. At the dato of the American oc cupation th estimated value of all agri cultural land was about MO.noo.ooo. Now the appraised value of the real property In the island reaches 3100,000.000. After detailing the work In th Philip pines, Secretary Taft said. The Philippine Islands have been treated with less generosity thn either Cuba or Porto Rloo. but still a great deal has been done by the United States for the Philip pines and at a very heavy expense. The statistics will show that in the case of each of the Island governments the rev enues have been largely augmented undi-r American auspices and also that h t Hal of Imports and exports has been mat-'r'ally Increased. But the lartic is true of me ex penditures. The Americans have given a more expensive government because thev have Insisted on doing more In education, in public improvements and In sanitation! It Is easy for a government to be econom ical if It does not do anything. ASK PRESIDENT TO PEORIA . Beualon of Fighting Forty-Seventh llllnol to Be Held If He Will Com PEORIA. 111.. May SO.

INDIANAPOLIS. May 30. - President. Roosevelt delivered a notable speech today at the unveiling of the nuinuniont to Major Oeneral Henry W. Ltiwton. In opening his address the president re ferred In terms of eulogy to the bravery of the veterans of the civil war and other wars, and he paid an especial tribute to Governor Morton. He said: Thf men of the generation which fought the civil war had their great tasks to per form. They met them as strong men should have met them. They did them, ami we, their children, pront by tin lr mighty deeds. But no generation cun ever plead the great deeds of its predecessor a hi. excuse for falling to perform It own dut es. Our duties are thorn, of peace and not of war. Nevertheless they are of the utmost Importance; of Importance to ourselves, and of still grert,tr importance to the children who in tt lew years will take our places us the men und women of this republic. If we wish to show our selves worthy heirs of the men of the civil wur. we must do our tasks with the thor oughness with which they did theirs. Great social and Industrial problems con front us, and their solution demands on our part unfaltering courage, and yet a wise, good-nalured self-restraint; so thai on the one hand we shall neither be daunted ly difficulties nor tooled by thos who would seek to perjuude us that the dlfllcultles are Insuperable; while on the other hand we are not misled Into snowing either rashness or vindlcllveness. Let us try as a people to show the same qualltle aa we deal with the Industrial and social problems of today that Abraham Lincoln showed when with Indomitable resolution, but with a kindliness, patience and com mon sense quite as remarkable, lie faced four weary years of open war in front, of calumny, detraction and in:rigu from be hind, and at the end gave to his country men whom he had served so well th blood-bought gift of a race freed and a nation forever unltad. Preservation of Property. One great problem that we have before l us is to preserve the rights of properly; ana these can only ue piesurven u we ro member that they Hro in less jeopard J from the socialist and tha unurchlst tlmu from the predatory man of wealth. it. has become evident that to refuse to In voke the power of the nation to restrain the wrongs committed by the man of great wealth who does evil Is not only la neglect the Interests of the public, but I to neglect the Interests of the man ol means who acts honorably by his fellow The power of the nation must be exerted to stop crimes of cunning no less than crimes of violence. There can be no halt, ln Hid course we have deliberately elected to pursuo, the policy of asserting the right of tile nation, so far as It has the power, to supervise and control the business vac of wealth, especially in its corporate form. Today I wish to say a word to you aboul the first and most important feature of tin task, the control of the common carrier doing an Interstate business; a control ab solutely vested ln the nation, while insofar as the common carriers also transport th malls It Is In my opinion probable that whether their business is or is not Inter state it Is to the samo extent subject to federal control, under that clause of tlu constitution granting to the national gov ernment power to establish post roads and therefore by necessary implication powut to take all action necessary In order to keep them at the highest point of efficiency Knort of Six Year. Every federal law dealing with corpo rations or with railroads that hits been put upon the statute book during the last MX years has been a atep ln aavance In the right direction. All action taken by the administration under these and the pre-existing laws hns been Just and proper. Every suit undertaken during that period has been a suit not merely warranted, but required, by the facts; a ult In the inter, est of the people as a whole, and. In the long run, particularly ln the interest of stockholders as well as ln the Interest of business men of property generally. There can be no swerving from the course that bus thus been mapped out ln the legisla tion actually enacted and In the messages ln which 1 have asked for further legisla tion. We best servo the interests of the honest railway men when we announce that we will follow out precisely this ! course. It Is the course of real, of ultl mate conservatism. There will be no halt forwa(, mov,mpt ioWafll a tull development of this policy; and those who wish ua to take a step backward or to stand still, if their wishes were realized, would find that they had lavlted an out break of the very radicalism they fear. There must be progressive legislation and administrative action for the correction of the evils which every sincere man must admit to have existed ln railroad manage ment ln the past. More Power Seeded. Such additional legislation as that for which 1 have usked in the rast. and cutn- dally that for which I asktd In my ni.f.

The business of railroad organization and management Htl,Mtli n, kept entirely distinct from In. vestment or brokerage business, especially I of tne speculative ty pe, and the credit and property of the corporation should be de- ' oted to the extension and betterment of I U railroads, and to the development of tha country naturally tributary to tha lines. These principles are fundamental.
