THURSDAY. MAY 23, 1^29 Nationgf TIIE tenderest and most benig nant of American holidays is being observed every years in a broader national spirit. In stituted after the Civil war as a Me morial day for those who fought to preserve the Union, it was intended to be celebrated only in northern states uid in the numerous national ceme teries scattered through the South. It assured decoration of the graves of luion soldiers everywhere, and was popularly known for that reason as Decoration day. Many of the Confed erate states had their own similar an niversaries. In view of its origin, the May 3d holiday could not have been expected to be completely national in irs scope. But since the days when Civil war memories were keen and still disrup tive, the nation has fought two impor tant wars, in which the old North and South and the new western states /•have stood shoulder to shoulder. The Spanisb-American war saw Lieut. Gen. Joseph Wheeler and Maj. Gen. Matth <>w C. Butler and Fritz Hugh Lee commanding United States volunteers. The World war was prosecuted under the new system of national conscrip tion and represented an equalized na Remembrance^Jfl ON MEMORIAL day we re member ; and, remembering, judge ourselves. A nation, like an individual, is the sum of all the preceding char acter that has contributed to it. There is the best and the worst, both made profitable by a just conscience, which recognizes and decides between them. The light of high endeavor never goes out; the torch passes from generation to generation, borne safely amid tu mult and peace, amid onslaught and reverence. Civilization, through the service of its better members, ceases never. Today the nation stands on the gold en hill-crest of which only the boldest had dared to dream, and looks back along the road. A long, magnificent road gloriously alive with the figures of brave men and brave women, of loyal hearts, of undiscouraged purpose, of God-fearing manhood. It finds, as it looks and reflects, that the many little roads which begin on the margin of national history have come together and now for these many years have flowed in one broad and ever broader highway. It perceives a strange intimacy of blue and gray, and dimmer figures in tatters or in soiled * JThe^ MEMORIAL day endeavors to do a difficult thing. Patri otism is not an emotion that stirs us day by day, like the appetites or the commoner feel ings of enthusiasm and weariness over life. It is, in the words; of John Gals worthy. a secret lamp, hardly to be seen when the world Is at peace. All the finest and most generous emotions are of this type. The most sensitive af fections of human beings for one an other rise and fall; they may be ig nored in the rush of an active life, on ly to flare up consumingly in an hour of trial, of grave Illness or disaster or death. It is when one’s country is beset that one turns to her aid with that upswelling of sacrifice which made the Great War so momentous a fact for the great mass of Americans. The greatest of all the tragedies of the war reserved for those few excep tional souls who were so out of step with their time and their fellow men that they could share none of this emotion that is one of the few real compensations for the evils of war fare. To state the quality of patriotism is to state the difficulty of expressing MEMORIALS TO AMERICAN, SOLDIERS WHO SLEEP IN FRENCH CEMETERIES i jS, ! •• •■; ftPM I [ill H fji ;j • • * ... py „, III left, Thierry; right, St. M hiel; lower left, Meuse-Argonne; u right, Suresnes cemetery. tional effort. The observances and spirit of Memorial day now extend to the men who served in these two wars as well as to the men of IS6I-’CS to whom they applied almost exclusively in the beginning. The nation’s grati tude and remembrance now go out to all its defenders and are expressed on a Memorial day whose scope has been enormously enlarged. The more than 4,000,000 soldiers and sailors enlisted for the World war insure a perpetu ation of this holiday on a still vaster scale and with an increasing unity ot feeling. The aid given by the federal govern ment to the Stone Mountain tribute to the leaders of the Confederacy marked the final passing of Civil war preju dices and frictions. The country Is thoroughly united, never more so than on this patriotic and most solemn an niversary. red coats; it sees unremarked, plain people, ennobled by service, who gave to civil life a little something more of integrity and fineness; it sees all sorts and conditions of men and of women, and of little children; and it notices that there is this common thing among them, that they all face forward to the future which now is ours. Finally, it recognizes, with grat itude and promise, that somewhere in this vast and diversely born people there is the binding loyalty of a com mon service. There is a flag, seen tiny against a speck of green and white, which flut ters above the bivouac of Arlington. There is a wreath invisibly adorning the home of every family whose fa thers and mothers lived worthily that the race might be nobly preserved. There is a faith which, enriched by all these lives, is the deathless guer don of a people that dares aot, nor wishes, to forget Today, we remember. There I* a heritage preciously formed by the lives and deaths of many million*. They are the past which seeded the present We honor them by reliving thaftfeaerv ice or shame them if oUr sense of citi zenship is ignoble. so deep-lying an emotion In a public parade. Yet Memorial day surely de serves not less of our support for the obstacles which it faces. If the feeling of gratitude to those who have died for the nation inevitably wanes as each war recedes In time and its per ils are forgotten, it can never be whol ly lost, and drums and tramplings are still the surest means to quicken the hearts of the short-of-memory. Here is no new phenomenon of mod ern pacifism. Each generation tends to forget the war fought by Its prede cessor, as the failure of this country to prepare for each successive war bears cynical witness. Man needs ritual to keep his se cret lights burning. There is religious inspiration in a great church service, whether one subscribes to the exact tenets of the creed expressed or not. Memorial day is part of the sacred ritual of patriotism, a ceremony of honor to those who have sacrificed themselves in its name and a reminder to the living of the cause which, so far as present wisdom reveals, must be fought for again and again in the years to come if civilization is to be preserved.
