F. W. Richar fax, clerk of the whose father befor ed clerk in 1830 the outbreak of hostilities in 1861, acted as presiding officer, introducing first Mrs. A. C. Ford of Clifton Forge, Va., president of the Virginia Division, U. D. C. Mrs. Ford brought to the Fairfax memb the greetings and thanks of all e chapters and offi- cers for their activity in recording this historical incident. The address of the afternoo @elivered by Representative R. V Moore of Fair Mr. Moore outlined the events leading up to that of May 27, 1861, and eulogized all the men of the South who had shed their r “a cause which went down t without dishonor.” Just as issippi River, whose mighty are now flooding the Middle West and bringing sorrow and destruc- tion to countless thousands, has its be- ginning in an obscure little lake in the North, so the events of May 27, 1861, at this spot in Fairfax County “start- ed a mighty stream of blood, which swelled to a crimson tide, bearing on its bosom the destinies of men and States. This monument is dedicated by the Daughters of the Confederacy in loving testimony and as an endur- ing evidence of their pride in and af- fection for those gallant vouths of a previous generation who gave an ex- ample of .heroism and self-sacrifice rarely equaled in the history of na- tions.” Granddaughter Participates. The monument was unveiled by lit- tle Miss Martha Anderson, T-vear-old daughter of Joseph Anderson of Rich- mond and granddaughter of Peyton Anderson. The latter's widow was present. Other members of the family present included the son, Joseph An- derson of Richmond; two daughters, Miss Fannie Anderson of Washington and Mrs, Clifford Latham of Amos- ville; three nephews, Warren Anderson of Washington, Dr. J. B. Anderson of McLean and H. H. Anderson of Fails Church, and five grandchildren, includ- ing little Peyton Anderson, 3d, who held a Confederate flag over the monu- ment during the exercises. The his of the events of May 27, 1861, h: been authenticated by the Fairfax Chapter from old records and the accounts of eyewitnesses. One week after Virginia had adopted its order of secession, in the Spring of 1861, the “Old Guard” of Rappa- hannock County, one of the first mili- tary units to be called to the Confed- erate colors, whose history dates back to 1812, left its home county and proceeded east to become a part of Company B of the 6th Virginia Cav- alry. It was attached to Ewell's com- mand, which in May was quartered at Fairfax Court House. Orders were given to guard all roads leading into airfax, and on that May morning 66 vears ago, two young privates, both of Rappahannock County, ton Anderson and William Lillard, e assigned to picket duty on the Falls Church road, with instructions to fire two shots of warning and re- treat to Fairfax if they sighted the enemy. Surrounded at Daybreak. At daybreak, Ancerson and Lillard were surrounded suddenly by a_de- tachment from the New York Cav- alry, which had come out from Wash- ington, and in the skirmish which en- sued Anderson was so severely wounded that he fell from his ho left on the field for dead.

DETROIT, ) Downs the 3 May 28 for Philip Woodson Ohio, w when the wings : the machine fell from approximately A00 deet el the dord alrport here, bowlder of the famous | encounter, | ~ WINNING Miss Dorothy Carlson's winning oration on “What the Constitution Should Mean to an Amcrican Citi- zen” was delivered as follows: ince the dawn of history man has ever aspired to freedom; the de- sire for liberty has been the greatest urge of the human heart. “This aspiration was the moving force in the establishing of the transi- tory republics of Greece and Switzer- land; it, later, wrested from King John that significant contribution to liverty, the Magna Charta. “The urge behind that heroic hand- ful of undaunted patriots, the Pilgrim hers, as they braved the unknown gers of a trackless sea, was to ure religious freedom; they amed, not of pelf and power, but rty, the God-given birthright of Dble aspirations was the inspired Declara- | tion of Independence. Little did they | realize that, under God's guidance, they were laying the foundation of | sal democracy! . the smoke of the Revolu- | tion had cleared, the gaunt specter of want and misery wa land; chaos, almost to about with ominous treas hearts | were heavy, but the Ship of State was destined to weather the storm. The | o of our Constitution met in | 17 , out of the confusion of the | 1oosely bound confederation, torn with dissension from within and lack ort from without, these great thered the scattered forces of freedom and crystallized them iito a Constitution—a Constitution dedi- cated to liberty—a Constitution that has become not only the corner stone of our liberty but also a pattern for liberty loving people the world over— a Constitution whose new and domi- nant note stressed the rights of the individual. Described as Masterpiece. “A masterpicce of government— unique, in that it contains, for the first time in all history, a bill of rights so comprehensive as to cover the full gamut of personal liberty; a Constitution providing for a represent- ative form of government; a Govern- ment composed of sovereign States under strong central control; a_Gov- ernment having a system of checks and balances, whereby the legislative, the executive and the judicial depart- ments each comprise an effective check on the others, culminating in a well regulated balance of authorit; and, lastly, must I mention those wise provisions whereby the Constitution is kept a living force, capable of con- forming to the ever-changing condi- tions of national growth—I refer to the power of amendment and to the more flexible power of judicial inter- pretation through decisions of the Supreme Court. “Was there ever a Constitution like this—a _Constitution ~ affording the humblest citizen equal rights with the most powerful—-a Constitution carry- ing out the will of the majority, yet safeguarding the rights of the mi- nority? “This jmmortal document fs a com- posite of the genius and lofty idealism of its creators, reflecting the majesty of Washington, the wisdom of Madi- son, the common sense of Franklin and the brilliance of Hamilton; vet, it remained for the mighty Marshall to breathe into the Constitution the breath of life, making it a living in- strument. “It now remains for us to uphold that sacred guaranty of liberty. Our Constitution is strong only as we are as strong; weak, as we are weak. We must guard against indifference to civic and national issues and the neg- lect to exercise our rights of fran- chise. How can our Government be truly representative if we fail to vote? Is liberty so cheap that we value it o lightly? An intelligent, voting citi- zenry is the Nation’s salvation—its greatest need! Foremost Among Nations. “America stands today foremost among the nations of the earth. May it ever maintain this glorious prestige! “Friends, America’s future rests upon the individual citizen. Oh, for a Lincoln, to fuse into our civic and national consciousness, in times of peace, the patriotic service and fidel- ity of purpose so manifest in times of war! We need more leaders and teachers to inspire in us, and especial- 1y in the youth of our land, the homely qualities 'of honesty, fairness, helpful- ness, industry and thrift, without which no nation, however. great the charater of its liberty, can survive: ORATIONS task. Error then meant the loss of all advance made in America toward democratic government. Temptation to establish a monarchy was great. But individuality, training, environ- ment—yea, inspiration—assured a glorious achievement. To assure the permanency of the new Government they wrote with ink those immortal principles that had been indelibly en- graved on the pages of history with the blood of martyrs. For these prin- ciples were not new. They were as old as human intelligence, human longing, human aspiration and hu- man_suffering. “Having in mind the weaknesses of the Confederation, they sought to form ‘a more perfect union.’ Driven into the wilderness by injustice, they longed to ‘establish justice. Rent by quarrels and rebellions, they craved ‘domestic tranquillity,’ Just emerged from bloody struggles, their brothers and fathers slain by foreizn bayonets, their sisters and sweethearts scalped foes, they determined ‘to the common defense.’ and impoverished, they were anxious to ‘promote the general welfare.’ “Blessings of Liberty. “Fearing persecution, they desired to ‘secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity.’ These were the blessings sought for them- selves by our ancestors. The: the blessings guaranteed to us by Constitution. I thus plished the purpos it remains today the permanent will of the people, the supreme law of the land. The framers of the Constitu- tion, surveying the shortcomings, and remembering the pitfalls, of oth charted a governmental highwav the roadbed of human rights. They removed the crown of sovereignty from the polluted heads of kings and placed it on the brow of a ion’s citizenry. They recognized sovereignty to be in the people, who ordained and established the Constitution i The provision for amendment again recognized the sovereignty of the peo- ple. This principle, first advanced in concrete form in the American Con- stitution, is the bulwark of liberty. Amer] today recognizes no other sovereign. American history, Ameri- can ideals, and the Ameri Consti- tution alike proclaim the sovereignty of the people. Today our Constitu- tion insures this sovereignty. “Four foreign wars and a fratricidal struggle have brought its possibilities into clearer relief. Constructed in a nation’s infancy, it has met the réquire- ments of the nation’s maturit It provides the machinery of govern- ment in war and peace. James Bryce says, ‘It is both brief and rigid, in that it lays down great and general prin- ciples, and names powers only; it is both extensive and flexible, in that it is open to interpretation to meet all the details of new conditions.” *This could have been accomplished only by recognition of the equality of individuals under the law. Federal and State courts stand ready to defend the rights and redress the wrongs of individuals. Citizens of each State were guaranteed equal rights, privi- leges, and immunities in all States. The framers of the Declaration of In- dependence asserted that, “all men are created equal’ The framers of our Constitution proclaimed to a doubting world that this equality should con tinue through life. Each principle of government resting on an inherent right of the individual stands on a foundation as firm as Gibraltar. After a test of seven score years our Con- stitution still means equal rights to individuals. This principle serves as a beacon, attracting to the protection of the Stars and Stripes the persecuted of all lands. It has inspired struggling people from the Orient to the Occident; from the frozen North to the Southern seas. Come for One Purpose. “But what was the hope that drew the best blood and the stoutest hearts from the comforts and luxuries of European civilization to the hardships of an American wilderness? They came for one purpose. Quaker, Cath- olic, Hebrew, Pilgrim and Huguenot in the free soil of America buried their Old World hatreds and wrote into our Constitution a guaranty of religious freedom. “Americans, our Constitution means religious freedom today. Let us re- tain that heritage. A jewel of such price should not be abandoned in a sea of indifference mnor lost in a without which there would have been no lasting Constitution, no united, free America, no Stars and Stripes! “Are we so sated with the pleasures of life that the red blood of true Americanism no longer flows in our veins? -1f so, God help us to awaken to a full appreciation of our citizen- <hip! The challenge comes to every American citizen, not only to uphold this Constitution, but to defend it; to uphold it is not enough! “We Americanize the foreigner. Are not many native-born Americans just as truly in need of Americanization? For those who are ignorant of our history and know not our traditions. the valiant stand of the minute men at Lexington means nothing; the roar of Bunker Hill falls on deaf ears; the blood-stained footprints on the ice and snow at Valley Forge bring no heart throb; the Stars and Stripes, floating resplendent on the breeze, brings no quickening of the pulse. Sees Perils to Nation. “Ladies and gentlemen, vigilanc> must be-our watchword, for real dan- ger confronts this Nation. Foreigners, under the guise of friendship, come here desiring to wreck the very citadel of our liberty by poisoning the minds of our youth with their seditious prop- aganda. For these insidious foes, who hold contempt and hatred in their | hearts for all established law and order, we have nothing but righteous indignation. We must, by a process of education, teach these radicals new ideals, new standards—teach them that our constitutional freedom is based on fixed rules of law and order; that liberty without responsibility is H- cense. But to those who come with honesty of purpose. we extend the hand of fellowship; we sav to them, in all sincerity: ‘Our schools are open to you and yours; our industries are calling you; our broad flelds are invit- ing you! With patience and under- standing and by the potent force of a living esample, we can help them to become good eitizens, and, in so doing, we, ourselves, shall be touched with the fire from the altar of libert 3 “For the perpetuaiton of !his‘ Con- stitution and the unity of this Nation the Great Emancipator gave his life. To safeguard democracy the flower of this land paid the supreme sacrifice “In the common bond of love and sorvice may we ever hold sacred and inviolate the tenets of our matchless | chnstitution, and may we pass on to | posterity this priceless heritage, conse: crated by the blood of the sainted dead, with no blot on its escutcheon from our wrongdoing, With no blem- from our neglect. ay we ever be worthy the name of American citizens.” SECOND BEST ORATION. “Meaning of the Coustitution,” by James Tunnell, Jr. oration judged second best, Meaning of the Constitution To- 1s it was delivered by James M. 11, jr., follows: ‘Nations, like ships, should follow a chartered course, Without charts, governments drift with every tide of opinion and change their course with each storm of protest. Without such | zuides the will of the sovereign de- | flects the governmental craft from its | course as does steel turn the compass from the magnetic meridian. goal sought by the framers of the Con- stitution was maximum security con- The | “The da The | wilderness of mistaken ideas. “The framers of the Constitution, who reserved all powers to the peo- ple not expressly granted to the Gov- ernment, placed not only the power of kings in American citizens, but they also placed on them their responsibil- ities. The millions of our citizens who refuse to participate in the Govern- ment thereby abdicate their inherited throne and place over the graves of the heroes of Concord and Yorktown the mantle of indifference. If sov- ereignty rests in the people, a part of the responsibility of ruling devolves on each citizen. Our Constitution means such responsibility today. “America from her station of funda- mental principles of government, as embodied in our Constitution, is broad- casting a message of individual liberty coupled with national security. Man- kind, with receivers in tune, is ac- cepting that message, and everywhere despotism is fallen or tottering. Un- told millions would mejoice to share the blessings of the bill of rights, to hold aloft the banner of personal and rells:lr}us liberty, to enjoy with us equality under the law and to share the responsibilities of a sovereign people. These are our rights; these urerur lduliesl. ‘“Americans, the flag, the N the . Constitution, the emblem s craft, the God-given chart; they are yours, they are mine, they are ours.” .
