On the famous battlefield of
Shiloh Tennesse .last Monday
twenty-two monuments erected by
the state of Indiana to the memory
of as manj' regiments of Union sol-
diers from that state that fought on
Shiloh's field were dedicated with
appropriate ceremonies. The prin
i i
cipai speaiccr oi tne day . was Sen-
ator Beveridge of Indiana though
others also spoke. The monuments
were received on behalf of the gov
ernment by Assistant Secretary of
War William Carey Sanger whose
words' give some idea of the
importance of the struggle which
dyed this field with the blood of
over three thousand American sol
diers. In part Mr. Sanger said:
"In the absence of the secretary
of war it is my privilege to receive
on behalf of the United States these
monuments which have been erected
to perpetuate the heroism of the
Crtbliftpc nf Trrl!filin Tf ic fiHni
that the state should make endur
ing records of the part which her
sons took in the battle and of the
courage and devotion with which
they poured out their life's blood.
"Shiloh was not only the first
great battle of the war but it was
the first battle which gave to the
country a realizing sense of the
magnitude of the struggle. General
Grant said that up to the battle of
Shiloh he with thousands of other
citizens believed that the war might
end suddenly if a decisive victory
could be gained but after the fight
he gave up all idea of saving the
union except by complete conquest.'
"The Confederate assault which
was made largely by untrained sol-
diers has been projierly called a
military masterpiece. The heavy
losses on both sides was conclusive
evidence of the courage with wheh
the battle was fought. The Union
losses were 20 per cent and the
Confederate losses 20 per cont.
These figures speak volumes for
the character of the men on both
j sides of the great battle which was
! fought here and assures us of what
i what we all realize that the Amer
ican soldier never knows when he
is beaten and makes us confident
that in any emergency they will
lear themselves as soldiers should.1'
The speech of Senator Beveridge
on behalf of the state of Indiana
was especially noteworthy for the
spirit of tolerance and true patriot-
ism that characterized it as well
as for its eloquence. He said in
part:
"Sinceall must die-how fortunate
to die for an undying cause and
under the approving eye of history.
"So fell those who fell upon this
field for they gave their lives to
save the life of the nation; and
history recites no nobler story thai;
the story of their sacrifice.
"For their blood was shed to
make the American people a single
nation and not for any lesser pur-
pose. All other results of the civil
war were incident to that. And so
they died no less for the people of
the south than for the people of the
north for the American people
undivided individual. Their mar-
tyrdom was to establish forever the
brotherhood of the flag a rela
tionship so lofty that it cannot see
sections within the boundaries of
the republic.
'.'That great purpose they ac-
complished. Devotion to the natioa
is today the first principle of all
Americans. In our recent war the
proudest to wear the nation's
uniform were the sons of those wha
on this field met their northern
brothers mortally; the first to dit
beneath the flag was a son of Caro-
lina. And the giving of one's life
is the highest proof of loyalty.
Exhausted in arms but by arms
unconquered the southern people
have yielded after all these years to
love; and nothing but love caa
conquer Americans. Yes one

righteous idea.

people have been great
rise to that idea. And that idea is
American nationality. How proud
we are that they yielded onlv to-
that. For let the world and history-
know that in valor all Americana
are unconquerable.
"And let us who live bo tolerant
of the views of those whose heroes
of the other side who died before
the guns of our heroes here anc
elsewhere. Only the years can tell
what minor elements of just opi-
nion whreo confused and tangled
in that cataclysmal conflict. For us
it is enough a iullness to know
that our central thought of
nationality was true and that our
brothers of the other side assert it
now even as we ourselves assert it
But when men die for ideas who
dare denounce them all and tit-
terly? The loftiest quality of huma
character is tolerance the loftiest
but one and that one justice. Tol-
erance Hum and loving kindness
and charitable forgiveness on botfc

these are important for in thes

sovereign.
"I said I spoke for Indian
soldiers and of Indiana soldiers

thoy wore "union soldiers" the na-
tion's soldiers from Indiana. We

know what it is. Not a single In-
dianan would die for it. But every-
one of "Indiana's 2.300.000 know
the Star and Strijies. and everyone
of that 2500000 men women and
children would die for it. It is the
nation's flag it i. our flag our
only flag.
"Let it be the only flag of every
state.
"Let Carolina forget her Palmet-
to banner dear though it may l
with beautiful memories aSid
remember only the flag of the re-
public! Let Texas forget her Lone
Star ensign sacred though it may
be with heroic tradition and re-
member only the nation's banner?
States arc invaluable for local gov-
ernment but with this battle field
before us we cannot see state lines
our eyes are too full of tears. We
forget thsl there ever were sections;
and whether we will or not our
very souls cry out two words: the
word "nation' and the word "American.''
