Thome Main 9400 And We Have Our Dead! *PHAT the old order changeth—old fashioned folks can never forgive. Every May those who lived thru civil war times combine to condemn what they call the desecration of Decoration day. They remember the origin of the day—its consecration to soldiers who died in war—they recall a decade in which only soldiers’ graves were decked with flowers and flags. Now they see the red, white and blue waving bravely over the little mound where the immigrant buried his child yester- day. ae ae Pacts RE on aoe TH PHAMEEEHS GREEN WIP JHALOUSY With a clear, sweet voice, every iin intonating as distinctly as the of a midn chime, and re ts as the fall of a} } COLYUM They grieve also because the young men and girls give Memorial day to the first picnic of the season, Every year the festivities increase in number, and every year old fashioned people protest that Decoration day was never meant for such things. They do not realize what a wonderful national holiday is in the making —one which unites the many people of this country in the one bond they all have in common—and that is the bond of grief. Go to the foreign cemetery of any large city today. The approaches, lined with booths, resemble the roads to a circus. Between the stalls filled with flags and cut and potted flowers, are others where popcorn, sandwiches, and ice cream cones are sold. The man with toy balloons parades the streets. And within the cemetery, children play family parties spread their luncheons under the trees. flags wave over rows and rows of graves And note that all the women have put on black—cr Few of them ever heard of our “civil war.” BUT DEAD, even as you and I, And this is the one American holiday whose spirit they can understand completely. Grief is one thing, grievance quite another. The patriots who object to a memorial day of the neworder are per- haps doing less for their country’s good than the immigrant ‘who ventures thru his grief to join hands with the many peoples of this land in the Memo- rial day ceremonial. As for the young, let them dance. After tomorrow and tomorrow, will be old fashioned rom, too—with come. yea, and grievances. “UNIFORMED BOYS IN DREAM THIS THE SMITH BLOG. 4 GONNA ASK TH’ GSS © BUY ME A SHOT GUN SO'CAN KEEP TH’ mu WRTLES at the edges of the ponds and And little American epe if they have it.
