REVERENT TRIBUTE
PAID HEROIC DEAD
North Canton Citizens Join In
Heartfelt Thanks To Veterans
of Three Wars—Impressive
Services In Cemeteries.
MANY. IN LINE OF MARCH
Memorial day loses nothing by its
gradual recedence from the stirring
times that brought it into being. On
the contrary, it seems to gain in fragrance and in the tenderness of remembering. North "Canton and other
sections served by The Sun did not
forget on Sunday and Monday • the
gallant men who served in the Civil
War, the Spanish-American War and
the World War. Cemeteries were visited ancl graves decorated.
School children, fraternal organizations, women's clubs, former soldiers
and civilians in every walk in life
marched along the streets in this town
to prove that so long as this hallowed
day shall be set aside from all others
.so long will what Lincoln called "the
mystic chords of memory" be felf,
even by our far-off descendants.
Flag Everywhere
It was the most impressive Memorial day service ever held in this
town. Everywhere floated the Flag,
and in the parade several ladies and
Girl Scouts held the emblem of freedom high as they trudged along behind the Hoover Band unmindful, apparently, of the ,hot rays of the sun.
The Flag itself is an inspiring sight
at any time, but when carried by the
mothers and sisters of man who went
through hell to keep it from trailing
in the dust it becomes a sacred object and worthy of the great reverence it receives-from all red-blooded
Americans.
Services in the Churches
Every church in this (own and. its
•vicinity paid tribute on Sunday to the
defenders of their country.- Appropriate hymns were sung tand: the pastors, while praying ior peace, praised
the spirit of the..;Soldieirs and sailors
for the service.Irjiey* gaye"to this nation ih its hour of peril.
On Sunday afternoon every Legion
post in Stark'county was represented
in Forest Hill cemetery. at the dedication of a gun captured from the
Germans. Former . Senator Atlee
Pomerine made the address.
On Sunday evening members of the
G. A. R., the,Spanish-American War,
the World War and the congregations
and pastors of the Protestant
churches in North Canton attended
services in St. Paul's Catholic church
and heard a Memorial sermon by the
pastor, the Rev. R. C. Kotheimer. The
singing by the male choir of the
church was especially -good, as was
the music furnished by Ed_Ream, the
organist.'
TRUTHFUL
ADVERTISEMENTS
SERMON BY PASTOR
Rev. Fr. Kotheimer Ufges. People To
Stand Firm In Defense of
This Country.
Rev. Fr. Kotheimer, pastor of St
Paul's church, read from II Timothy,
4, 7 and 8: f ,,,
"I have fought a-good fjght, I have
finished my course, I have kept the
faith. As to the rest there is laid up
for me- a crown of justice, which the
Lord, the just Judge will render to
me in that day . . ."
He said: Dear brethren in Christ:
These words of the great Apostle St.
Paul may be placed, to a certain extent, in the mouth of all those in
whose loving memory we are assembled here this evening. ..We are
gathered together in grateful remembrance of the departed heroes of our
great and glorious country, the soldiers and sailors, who in defence of
that flag made the supreme, sacrifice
upon the field of battle directly, or indirectly as a result of woynds and
disabilities acquired in the performance of duty. They "have' fought the
good fight," they "have finished their
course!" Theirs is a glorious proof
of real loyalty to country.
Patriotism, or devotion to country,
is a God-given natural virtue that
should be in the heart of every citizen. It is a virtue, which, like all virtues, everyone of us must seek to foster and to increase by constant practice. Love of country is commanded
by Almighty .God. We cannot be true
to Him without being loyal to our
Flag!
Meaning- of Patriotism
Patriotism is based upon that commandment of God which says: "Honor
they father and mother." To honor
father and mother means to revere,
love and obey, the representatives of
God in the family, to support them,"
to be willing to make sacrifice for
them—in a word, to be loyal to the
family in its head. .The family is the
foundation of the state, which' may be
called a union, of families for mutual
welfare and protection and governed
by lawfully constituted authority.
Loyalty to. family, then, necessarily
extends ifeelf to loyalty to this family of families,; the stated   ■
Who, then,'is a true patriot? He
who loves his. country as~expressed-by
reverence, love and obedience, towards
the civil authorities,' by support ■ of

country in the payment of just taxes
and by willingness to' make sacrifice
in defence even with life and limb.
Authority Comes From God
Since God ordained the existence
of human society and since without
order society cannot exist, and without authority order is impossible, God
instituted civil authority. Authority
is, therefore, from God, and from
Him, too, it has received the power
necessary to maintain oyder.
Honor, obedience and loyalty are
due the civil authorities because they
represent the sovereign dominion of
God. St. Paul in his Epistle to the
Romans (XIII:1 and 2) says: "Let
every soul be. subject to higher
powers; for there is no power but
from God' and those that are ordained of God. Therefore he that re-
sisteth Mr; power, resisteth the ordinance c: God. And they that resist,
purchcr.j to themselves damnation."
Must Pay Taxes
Jir.t taxes must be paid. The end
of :..vil authority—promotion of the
pu'j ic welfare and the defence of
the liberty and the rights of individual—cannot be obtained without ex-
prase. The Lord and Master once
said: /"Render to Ca?sar the things
that are Cesar's and to God the
things that are God's." And St. Paul
in the 13th chapter of Romans:
"Render, therefore, to all men their
dues* tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom, to whom custom; fear, to
whom fear; honor, to whom honor."
But above all a partiot, if necessary, is ready to defend his country
with life and' limb. The maintenance
and welfare of the state, sometimes
demand not only financial-sacrifices,
but also personal services according
to the rank and condition of each, especially when there is question of,repelling violence, or defending rights.
Every Grave a Shrine
This last requisite, the willingness
-to sacrifice even. life, -artd liinb for
country is an-infallible J>roof. of, real
loyalty to country. Every grave,
then, of a defendef of the country is
a shrine of loyalty. And in this great
land of ours there are hundreds, yes
thousands of such shrines.
Hardly a cemetery, whether it lies
in the midst of the metropolis, teeming with life, or in the bOs(>m of the
little village, peaceful and undisurb-
ed, .but is hallowed by the graves of
the nation's heroes. And let us not
forget the glorious dead, who went
down at sea, and those, who rest in
foreign land.
It was my privilege about this time
last year to make a pilgrimage to the
scenes in France made famous by the
matchless bravery of the A.E.F.,: the
Marne, Chateau Thierry, Belleau
Wood among others. I .was with a
party of fellow-Americans. As we
wandered through the devastated region, with its thousands of shell-
holes^ remnants of trenches and barbed wire entanglements, and void ■■■ of
nearly all vegetation, what stirring
scenes were conjured up!.
In spirit we see .our boys in this
fearful drama of bloodshed and carnage, we shudder, we marvel.. With a
prayer of gratitude to God that it
is all" over, and with a feeling of
reverence and awe we walk upon the
ground drenched by the life-blood of
American heroes!
American Cemetery
Suddenly we come upon a City of
the Dead: The Aisne-Marhe American
Cemetery. We are thrilled by v the
sight of Old Glory floating over the
last resting place of. thousands of
fallen soldiers. Reverently we enter
the sacred precincts. A beautiful
well-kept plot of ground, dotted with
thousands of little white crosses, each
one marking the grave of a fallen
patriots
We fall upon our knees and pray to
God. We salute our Flag and its defenders and sing with a fervor never
felt before: "America." Later we
pass the lone grave of a hero, who
lies where he fell, Quentin Roosevelt;
and farther on another American
cemetery, the Oise-Aisne.
Yes, I repeat, every resting place
of a soldier or sailor of the United
States, be it where it may, is a sacred
shrine of true loyalty.
And so, as we go from grave to
grave and with loving hands strew
flowers in grateful remembrance and
decorate with the flag for whteh they,
the nation's defenders, fought, let us,
as Christians, not forget that.though
their earthly remains lie still in death,
their immortal Nsouls.-have passed on
into a better life.
With Us In Spirit
They live, andyin spirit are with
us yet. And from that other life,'
doubtlessly, they are looking down
upon us now and were they to speak
to us. their' message would be: "Do
not suffer that flag, for which we died,
to be defiled. Be loyal as. we have
been, so that it may ever waye o'eT
the Land of the Free and the Home
of the Brave!" May their' sacrifice
never be vain!
May. each and everyone of us learn
from them the real meaning of love
of country. May we ever be ready to
defend her against all enemies to Liberty. And let-.us not forgefrrthat all
her enemies.are. not in foreign :Ian.<js.
For in the light of the.suptenje sacrifice. >n£ ttieae brave- men, what' are w»

greatest orations' ever heard in this
section of Stark county. [See editorial comment on page two under the
caption "Oratory Not Dead."]
RAYMONDS ADDRESS
It Is For the Living To Cherish Tenderly the Memory of the Dead.
those kind and. fraternal feelings
which had bound together the soldiers,
sailors, and marines ,who were united
in the Great Struggle.
For 57 years.the beautiful custom
has been regularly arid reverently observed. Year by jtear.its influence and
inspiration have increased; its original
purpose has been ^giilargetl; its message of patriotisrh/, has become increasingly more eloquent, until Memorial Day, 1926, cdfHmands a tribute
to the memory of - every American
'who has made tfie supreme sacrifice
in any of our Nation's struggle's. This
day reveals from the'bbok of national
remembrance not ;only the meaning
of Gettysburg and Appatomax, but
also of Bunker Hill and Valley Forge;
of San Juan Hill and Santiago Bay;
Chateau Thierry arid the Argonne. It
touchingly revives dii'd reveres every
hallowed memory of our nation" arid
eloquently attests her-rmost cherished
ideals. The nation-wide observance of
this day is our conutry's tribute to
the memory of her slain defenders
(of all wars). It is more—it is our
testimonial of faith imthe institutions
and principles whichrthose defenders
died to create* and maintain. It is our
solemn acknowledgement that they
have not died in vain.
America Blazed the Way
As we solemnly.(.reflect upon the
significance of this occasion, the background of our national institutions
and ideals rises before us like a
dream. Five hundred years ago Constantinople fell; the Dardanelles were,
closed and the powerful Ottoman empire compelled the nations of Europe
to face westward. They turned to the
Land of the Setting Sun. The tract-
less ocean and the eternal blue of the
heavens. seemed to -meet; but their
dauntless sailors pierced the mists of
the weird, unmeasured seas and unveiled to the wondering gaze of man
the unharnessed rivers-, majestic forests and liegeless mountains of an un-
legislated and unexplored continent;
little dreaming that it was the land
which was to yield the' consummation
of individual freedom and from which
would issue the solution of World
Peace.
A New Opportunity
In that manner Europeans caught
their first shadowy, vision of the Western hemisphere., It meant a. new beginning,, a ■• new opportunity. The
Anglo-Saxon impulse for freedom and
the Celtic passion for. Uberty-responded to the promise of • 'greater rights,
of a larger life, arid- those sturdy
races, races drawn from the historic
fields, . qf Britain and France, from
the suririy slopes of Italy and. the Alpine glen's; from the shadows of Bohemia and the- Valley/of the-:,Rhine,
broke from the bgnds Qf ^lijustr government and crossed. the'u'nchartered
seas to America. Forgetting racial
animosities, they blended their blood
in.the thirteen colonies and there was
established forever that idea of freedom and self-government which had
been planted in the forests of northern Germany, and which had survived
the despotism and autocracy of the
English kings.
Henceforth, democracy, not blood,
was the bond of American unity. It
made for colonial harmony under
Washington, it established state brotherhood under the constitution. The
idea took root and grew. The fact of
national brotherhoods found expression in the conviction and words of
Lincoln, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." That ideal which
Washineton fought to establish; and
which Lincoln died to preserve could
not be held within the confines of a
single nation. The ideal was greater
than the colonies in which it was conceived, greater than the nation which
it had developed.
Our sovereignty stops at the Great
Lakes and at the international boundary line, but thip ideal overleaps all
such limitations and by 1840 that institution which we had won at Bunker
Hill and Yorktown, which we later
declared invincible at Gettysburg and
Appamatox, was enjoyed by cosmopolitan Canada, and from.the golden
veins of the Yukon to the lowlands
bf Labrador, from the Eskimo of the
Arctic to the simple peasant of Ontario, the voice of democracy heralded
the triumph of Canada in her struggle for government "of the people, by
the people, and for tlie people."
A Land of Ideals
That ideal which brought us unity
in '76; which purchased Canada's
freedom in 1840, has for more than
a century been a bond of brotherhood
not only between these two countries,
but between the United States and all
Britain. It has effected 110 years of
unbroken peace between the greatest
Empire the world has ever known and
the world's greatest republic. In the
Civil War, in the Spanish War, in the
World War, the message of this ideal
has been blazoned before the whole

Origin of the Day    ^
On May: 5,  1869, John A. Logajj,
Commander-in-Chief of the G.A.R. di-
Attomey Raymond said:
When the living try to honor the
dead; when a group of citizens attempt to translate into visible form
its appreciation for service and sacrifice that are beyond, human measure-,
ment, the language of man is wholly
inadequate to speak the sentiment
that struggles in the human breast
for expression.
Citizens of North Canton! In this
imposing - monument, you have memorialized and immortalized in enduring bronze, the heroism and ,the sacrifice, the suffering and the glory associated with those of your fellow citizens who represented our nation in
its last two wars—and who have sacrificed in defense of the flag.
The real message that yofl -would
convey through this beautiful memorial, will never be uttered by human
'lips—it will remain engraven on the
hidden tablets of your hearts, a thing
so sacred thats all the refinements of
language are "inadequate to give it
voice. To us who have lived through
the grim days of '98 and.the grimmer days and months" of the more recent struggle, its significance is as
real and beautiful and prophetic as is
the western sunset that its quiet eyes
will behold, in the evening twilight for
uncounted years to come.
Fifty years from now most of us
will have passed to the land of remembered dreams and forgotten sorrows, but this memorial will still remain a visible evidence of your -gratitude and their ^sacrifice.
Monument Will Stand
One hundred years from today, all
of us will have long since gone to the
"tongueless silence of the dreamless
sleep," and this riipnumeht will be
weather marked and stiined by the
rigors of a hundred relentless years,
but it will still stand, silent, seren,
majestic in its age, and through its
silent lips reveal to the American of
a new century the highest impulses
that have ever stirred the hearts and
lives of men—-impulses that alone will
keep the altar fires of democracy
burning, through memory of those
who have met the supreme tests and
offered their lives in heroic fidelity
and self-sacrifice.
For a century and a half American
people have annually'1 celebrated the
day on which our Nation declared its
Independence. It has been fitting that
an independent people should appropriately recoernize. and commemorate
an event which has and which at this
rected all posts of the G.A.R. to observe May .80", for the purpose bf dec-

JOHN CURRY, HURT
. CHASING MACHINE
Traffic Officer's Motor-Cycle Gets
Caught In Rut, Throws Him
Heavily and Falls Upon Him,
Crushing His Foot.
CONFINED    TO     HIS    BED
John Curry, motor-cycle officer,
was severely injured on Memorial
day, about 4_ p. m. while riding the
motor-cycle. His right knee was cut
ancl bruised and his left foot and
ankle were badly squeezed when the
cylinder of the motor-cycle fell on it,
and his great toe on that foot was
also injured at the joint.
Was Chasing Automobile
A reporter for The Sun visited Mr.
Curry this Wednesday morning and
found him in bed. He said he started
to follow a machine going north that
was cutting in and out around other
automobiles. He intended to stop it,
but as he got close to the machine
the driver crossed over to the west
side of the road, having reached the
point where the double road ceases,
and as he, Mr. Curry, turned to follow, the rear wheel of his motorcycle became fast in the rut along the
car track, throwing him off. The
motor-cycle fell over upon him.
The nian in the .auto stopped and
helped lift the motor-cycle off of Mr.
Curry.
Foot Badly Crushed
Dr. Frick brought the injured man
to the Curry home at-216 Cole avenue. '      ' , ■
On Tuesday he was taken to Canton in the L. T. Lewis ambulance for
an X-ray. The pictures show no
bones broken, but a badly crushed and
bruised foot and ankle, so The Sun
is informed.
COMMUNITY PICNIC

will be served to tlie members and
their husbands and families.
Two big pictures will be shown in
the Community Building, Wesley
Barry in "The Printer's Devil," on
Friday night, and Buster Keaton in
"The Navigator" on Tuesday night
It is hardly necessary for The Sun
to remind its readers that these pictures have stood the acid test and
that they rank with the best.
On Friday a Pathe News reel and
a one-reel comedy; on Tuesday the
second installment of tho serial, "The
Green Archer" and also an Aegop
Fable.
Wesley is seen at his best in "The
Printer's Devil," and several hours of
pleasure are in store for those fortunate enough to see him on Friday
night. ■■
As for Buster Keaton in "The Navigator," well—that picture is a scream
from stem to stern, and if you don't
laugh loud and long, hurry out and
consult a doctor. It is just the kind
of picture to tickle the fancy of old,
middle-aged and young.

LETTERS T0¥E SUIT
MEMORIAL DAY
Editors The Sun: Which is correct, Memorial day or Decoratiore
day? Please answer this question in.
this week's issue of your paper.
Answer—As The Sun understands
it, it was by action of the Grand
Army of the Republic that the. original designation of Decoration day was
changed to the more significant
phrase, Memorial day. And surely,.
nobody has a better right than the*
G. A. R. to dictate in that matter
since our northern observances of this:
holiday began within that organization of Civil war veterans.

DR. TANNER'S LONG FAST
Editors The Sun—How long a time-
did the famous Dr. Tanner go without eating at the time he made his
experimental fast ? Did he drink anything?
Answer—Dr. Tanner went without
food for 40 days, and apparently suffered no bad effects. All these feats
of fasting for more than a few days
have involved the drinking of much
water. Human beings cannot live-
many .days without water; and would!
perish in from eight to lb days without it.
TRAINING CAMPS
Editors The Sun: Our son wants-
to go, if he can, to a Citizens' Military Training camp this summer, but
we have heard all kinds of views expressed that we are in doubt. Believing that The Sun will not deliberately say a good word for anything;
that is doubtful, we write to ask you
if there is any value in these training camps.
Answer—The benefits to come from
thirty days training at a military
camp have been fully demonstrated.
More than 30,000 young men who attended the camps last year gained in
weight and chest measurements.
Not the least advantage that comes-
from service in a military training-
camp, however, is the discipline that
is instilled. The boys have to submit
to the rigorous life of the soldier. It
teaches them obedience and punctuality, and respect for authority. It.
is, in truth, the best school in character building that can be had. Parents'should encourage their boys to
take, advantage of the opportunity
that the government offers them. It
will make them better citizens ancT
better, men physically. Northeastern!
Stark cpunty should not be behind
other' sections.of Ohio in. its -representation this year.   '   ■
