Wright of: Park Rapids Gave a Splendid Address on Memorial Day. Hon. B. F'. Wright of Park Rapids was the orator of the day in Bemidji on Decoration day and delivered a very able address, a synopsis of which follows: After addressing the commander, the members of the Cirele and crowd present, Mr. Wright told of his earliest recollections of the circumstances in connection with the cllvil war. His first vivid recollection 'was obtained in a small city in the state of Maine, ‘When he was but a lad of 4 years old, he witnessed the riding on a rail of a ‘‘copperhead, *’'whohadopenlydeclared that President Lincola’s assasina- tion was the best thing that had ever happened for the country. The afore- said copperhead was roughly treated arnd would probably have been killed but for the mzervenuon of cooler heads. ““This, I say, is the anly recollec- tion of the war of which I am con- scious,’’ said Mr. Wright, *‘to me, all else is history, and I venture to say that the same is true of at least ‘three- quarters of this audienge.’’ LR ““The generation of a.ctors in that great drama is fast passing away. Every year the ranks of cur veterans are thinning out, the roll call is be- coming shorter, the ~ war-scarred batallions of this soldier host that can have no recruits, aré growing less. They are moving on tp the shadow land, spreading their tents and taking their places on ‘Fame’s }i:berual Camp- ing Ground.’”’ i * %k % x| ‘Yes, I ropeat it, the record of this great war, the vital period of the nation’s existance, the solving of the great problem of the suécess and per- manence of a government -of the people, by the peoplo and for the people, is a matter of history to most of us and will be a matter of history to all the rising generation of ehildren, upou whom will rest the.future fate of the eountry. - To history" alone must they go for their knowledge and their inspiration.”’ The speaker said that history alone would record the heroism of the boys of 61 in times to come and but few of the noble band which so bravely fought for the Stars and Stripes will long be left to tell of their experiences. Mr. Wright said the people of the south were as determined, as brave and as loyal to their principals, wrong though they were, as were the people of the narth, Historians, said the speaker, have pictured in faithful colors, the historic battles of the war. They have made page after page of absorbing interest of those terrible fights, where the loss of life was appalling. “The real history of the war has never been written and never will be,"’ said Mr. Wright. ‘“The story of the common soldier, the man behind the rifle, whose deeds of valor, of heroism and sacrifice no pen has recorded, but which come down to us as matters of tradition, constitute the true history. “‘If to the victor belong the spoils of glory, honor and renown, then do these spoils belong as much to the private soldier, whose grave we have this day decorated with wreaths of flowers and the little flag so dear to his heart, as to the great generals who 80 ably and honorably led the way to victory.’’ The justice of the dlvismn of honors of the war is more evident in this country than any other country in the world, and the army of the United States have been unlike those of any other nation in history. The army of the old world are mostly machines, the men meke war a profes- sion as it were. : “‘On the other hand,’’ said Mr, ‘Wright, ‘‘our armies are and always have been composed of intelligent, thinking men, able to read and under- stand what they are fighting for; men who aauld not be induced to serve as soldiers except in an emergency, when the safety or honor of the country was involved. ' Such soldiers as these, have and always will astound the world. The battle of Lookout Mountain was taken by the speaker as an example of the independence of the American soldier, where the soldiers disobeyed the orders of tae officers, and the men in the ranks tock the matter into their own hands, climbing the mountain side und did not stop until they reached the very summit. No finer spectacle could be imagined. *‘It is but one instance of many simi- lar ones. The whole four years of civil strife were full of them;”’ Mr. Wright referred feelingly to the prisons-of the south, where one thous- and or more brave men had suffered and died, : . **Ng doubt exists taday of the sin- eerity of the mass ef the southern ( Contmued on last page.) |0n “Bemidi, July ILY PIONEER. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH GITY GOUNGIL DID MUCH BUSINESS LAST NIGHT Nothing of Vital Importance Considered. —Routine Business Occupied Conncil’s Attention. There was an interesting session of the city council last evening, at which considerable business of im- poriance was transacted. Alderman Rhea acted on the auditing committee, to fill a vacancy caused by the absence of Alderman Washburn. A batch of bills were allowed, including the city payroll for May, which amounted to $640. The bill of the Warfield Electric company for " $318.90, for lighting the streets of the city for the month of May was laid on the table for investigation, some members of the council claiming that a number of the lights were “out of commission,” and the city should not pay for lights that were not burning. It was ordered that all users of water who have the water put in from the main to their buildings shall pay for the shut-off and stop- cock. The reports of Justices Slocum and Simons’were accepted. The bond of Charles D. Fisk, as clerk of the newly-established muni- cipal court, was laid on the table for investigation as to the reliability of the company furnishing the boad. The matter of purchasing lockers for the militia company was dis- cussed at length, the majority being in favor of buying the lockers, but the city attorney thought that they could not spare out the money now on hand enough to pay the bill, and the council voted to lay the matter over for a week and get a wrltten report. Alderman Miller offered a resolu- tion that all moneys derived from the sale of lots in Greenwood cemetery be placed In a seperate fund, same to be used by the city at such time as any repairs may be needed at ceme- tery. The resolution was carried.
