The piece argues efficiency tests surpass mere goodness for governance. It asserts intelligence about government, not ethics, drives real improvement. It cites business-like standards to curb waste, raise accountability, and curb corruption across public services and civic life.
The author argues sociability is life while its absence leads to decay. Wealth and poverty produce exclusivity, which threatens society. A state role should balance wealth and poverty, promote social meetings, and even extend to marriage promotion to foster sociability and national improvement.
REV W M Morrison notes Buluba Lulua language shows rich expression yet severe gaps. No word for young of living beings, limited color terms, dila covers many actions, no gender pronouns, no distinct love word, and English strong terms lacking equivalents.
A fragment evokes soldiers marching to a distant drum, their approach marked by a hushed, rhythmic throb and a sense of quiet anticipation. No voices rise as they near, just the steady cadence of distant drums.
A reflective poem about aging veterans and the fading rank of soldiers who once marched with vigor. The verse contrasts vivid memory of valor with the quiet approach of death as veterans become shadows under the flag. The speaker recalls drums, sabers, muskets, and the trumpet call, then watches the veterans fade toward graves beneath the sacred banner.
A solemn reflection on Memorial Day linking the nation’s memory to the fallen. It speaks of public honors and a duty to life and country, urging enthusiasm and faith in service, commemorating heroes like de Latour d Auvergne and Napoleon and the phrase dead upon the field of honor.
Multitudes gather at Arlington National Cemetery for Decoration Day ceremonies to honor ex-union officers and soldiers. The vast grounds, shaded by trees and adorned with vines, flowers, and immortelles, reflect a long tradition dating back to 1868 as patriotic groups continue the yearly rites.
The piece recalls Andersonville Ga housing 33 114 prisoners at peak with 12 912 deaths and Elmira with 11 916 inmates and 2 994 deaths. It notes daily deaths around 30 and a peak 127 on August 23 1864, with graves later plowed to wheat. It highlights Women’s Relief Corps memorial day amid fresh graves.
A poem by Frances Ten Eyck contemplates the cost of war and the memory of fallen soldiers. It asks what nations owe the dead beyond flowers, urging enduring fidelity to the pledge of those who died for their country. The verses contrast peaceful symbols with the harsh realities of battle.
The article urges readers to visit Gettysburg and let the 600 monuments and 640 organizations’ positions illuminate the nation’s enduring ideals. It describes the battlefield’s landmarks, graves, and relics from Seminary Ridge to Cemetery Hill, noting the precise features and enduring symbols that help visitors reconstruct the July 1863 contest.
A nostalgic poem celebrates the western plains with sage scented winds and prairie storms. It evokes cattle drives, riders, stampedes, and the rugged bond of riders and horses across open ranges. The verse cherishes the hard trail life and campfire nights on the long divides.
A Milwaukee Sentinel poem by Will F. Griffin honors the down and out worker. It praises the man who labors without complaint, bears fate, and endures the endless fight with right and effort, offering a word of cheer for the fellow hero who loses.
A verse from the Atlanta Constitution celebrates old-time religion with imagery of Edenic fields and camp meetings. The speaker favors fervent faith, contrasting it with modern religion and envisioning heavenly springs and green fields beyond.
Celia Myrover Robinson writes in the New York Sun about longing for childhood games and the familiar warmth of home. She recalls playing hide and seek and the sycamore tree with friends, contrasting past joys with present emptiness and a whisper of playful, nonsensical rhymes.
A Washington Star piece recalls a brutal circus image where a chariot guide claims sole control while others merely walk the line. It contrasts with a boastful speaker who seeks crowd approval, insisting his own thinking head saves the clan.
A poem by Maud Scofield Beeson reflects on silence and reproach in a quiet romance. It contrasts the proverb about deep waters with the speaker’s desire for genuine feeling over formal verse. The speaker proclaims life as a living poem and a joyous love, not bound by meter.
A rhythmic note on aging and endurance. The speaker speaks of a rheumatic attack in spring and urges activity with a fiddle as the old man nears life’s end. The refrain celebrates life and joy despite decline. The piece ends with the old man out of sight and the crowd still moving.
La Touche Hancock of New York writes of a tranquil scene at sunset with deeper shades, softer hues, and music on the sea. The verse bids farewell with a dreamlike farewell line and a gentle good night.
