VOLUME XIX. NO. 176 BEMIDJI, MINN., SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 12, 1921 ARMS PARLEY MEETS DAY T0 55c PER MONTH OBSERVANCE OF ARMISTICE DAY GOES OVER BIG Hundreds of Visitors Help Bemidji Legion Post With iCelebration BISHOP BENNETT GIVES ; VERY INSPIRING ADDRESS| New Armory Is Well Packed for Dance and Carnival During the Evening — Service uniforms which had been carefully laid away by ex-service men were_ hunted up and donned Friday, probably the first time for a, year, and Armistice day took on the ap- pearance of olden days. A large num- ber of ex-service men turned out in the morning in the parade despite the cold weather, many of them com- ing to Bemidji from out of the city to help the Ralph Gracie post of the American Legion celebrate the day. After the parade,.at 11 o’clock, the program, as was originally planned, was carried out in the armory. Patri- otic songs were sung, invocation offer- ed by Rev. L. P. Warford, a solo was rendered by Mrs. A. J. McMillan, President Harding’s Armistice day ad- dress at Arlington cemetery was read by Thayer C. Bailey, and the speech of the occasion given by Rt. Rgv.‘ Bishop Bennett of the Episcopal Dio- cese of Duluth. Bishop Bennett, in an inspiring ad- dress, pictured to his hearers the high ideals represented in the ceremony at the national cemetery at Arlington, where an unknown American soldier | was laid to rest. “The men who died| iif France,” said he, “have made a| barrier behind the world which pre-| vents it from going back into its old, selfish, jealous, greedy and suspicious ways and have made it imperative tnat the march be forward and not backward. “America cannot go back over the dead bodies of her fallen heroes. There is only one other course, and that is forward. The old nations of the world have been-going round and yound in that never-ending circle of secret diplomacy and intrigue. Amer-| ica must strike out from the circle| and lead the advance forward, or she, too, will be swallowed up in its mael-I strom.” “God,” said Bishop Bennett, “has| ever held in reserve a nation to car- 1y on the progress of the world when other nations have failed in the task assigned. them. I believe America is God’s chosen peonle at this time to carry forward this new era of hu- manity and, if America fails, then there is in reserve the yellow man and the colored man, which have not been given the opportunity of leadership, but which, when awakened, will take up the torch and the white nations will be. forced to stand aside to let them pass. “America has it in Qer power to be the leader of ‘the world, the fact that she has invited the nations of the world to come to her shores to formulate some plan by which men and not things shall predominate in the world and by which ideals and not possessions shall guide the destiny Aof humanity, marks her as the na- tion to whom other nations are look- ]fm'tl ior leadership, and she must not ail. Hundreds of visitors came-to Be- midji especially for the Armistice day program. All appeared well pleased with what the program offered. The parade was well attended, and the new armory was filled way beyond seating capacity at the ceremonials. (Continued on Page 6) .
