MEMORIAL ADuRESa OF CAPT. JAS. BOYD ROMSON AT THR COURT HOUSE, BLOOMSBURO, MAV So, 1893. Comrades, and ladies . and gen tlemen: It is just twenty five years, a quarter of a century, since I had the honor of inaugurating the first obser vance of Decoration day in Blooms-i burg. In the forenoon I set the type ' and printed the posters inviting the assistance of the citizens who, in the afternoon, responded with an abun dance of flowers at Snyder's Hall. From there we proceeded to the ceme tery and decorated the graves. This is a day of memories ; proud memories of heroic deeds and noble sacrifices ; sad memories of loved ones gone, of bereaved widows, parents and friends. Yet looking around and seeing these youths with their strength and life, and their bright and hopeful eyes, the sadness of the heart is cheer ed at sight of present joys and pleas ant anticipations of the future. I believe that in all the pages of life's story, there are no recollections and no experiences that will kindle the eye and warm the blood like those of that period when youth, having reached full stature, is entering, with light and joyous step, that transition period into the maturity of manhood. From sixteen to twenty five is tiic diamond age of humanity. From the time when the bashful boy first ven tures to pay his respects to the maid ens until with his chosen mate he set tles into the quiet of domestic life and the cares of business, joyous and light hearted, his outlook on life sparkles with the brightest expectations : his frolics and pleasures are then the gay est, and his hopes and aspirations the strongest. I he disappointments and bitterness of the sterner struggles of real life have not yet dimmed the lustre of success. The present is merry and the future is bright. Enjoy it while you may. Every generation before you has had the same happy period. Human nature repeats itself, if not exactly the same, yet as near alike as the tree o to-day is like its kind of a thousand years ago. It was more than thirty years ago, when the youth of this land were ca I- ed upon to give up these joys and pleasures of home. The average age of the volunteers who responded to the calls of the government was less than twenty years. I lie drafts brought in older men, but the average even then was less than twenty three. The great battles that saved this union were fought by almost beardless boys. There were more of them in their teens than be yond that age. Life was as bright to them and as joyous as to any of these sons of veterans or of these students. The demands of patriotism called them from the college, the school, the snop and the farm. 1 hey gave up the pleasures and pastimes of youth for the stern realities of war. You cannot fully appreciate that sacrifice. God forbid that you ever shall ! Until the crisis came the belief had become fixed that the day had passed when Americans should be called up on to defend their government with the weapons of war. Christian senti ment and popular government had been building the edifice of perpetual peace. The era of liberty, of peace and good will throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof had been fu'ly established from the day the old liberty bell had rung out its exultant challenge to tyranny. But suddenly the nation was awaken ed to the fact that the mulenium was still far away. The boys accepted the responsibility, jo more home caress, the maiden's welcome, the frolic and the dance. Boys became men. The slowing patriotism matured the youth. They took up the duties of the soldier. Do you know what those duties were Mo I You may read 01 them or pic ture them as you sit in easy chair at home. You may play at them in home drill and picnic camp, but you cannot see the reality. . Think of the weary marches. Load yourself with 50 or 60 lbs. of baggage and go out under the burning sun. Foot sore and weary plod along at will, for hour alter hour and you are engaged in child's ' play as compared with the forced tramp of wearied lines of thousands of homeless, houseless boys, in dust and heat, or through wind, rain and storm, in driving sleet and chill winds ; lying down in wet clothing on wet ground With no cover but the canopy of heaven, days, weeks, months. years. Don't long for the comforts of home 1 Bite into the hard bread and fat pork in contentment ; for next day unfed by delayed stores you may have to go hungry into battle. And when, the battle comes, with its shriek ing shell and whistling bullet, with it comes the thought that to day may be your last on , earth. You think of mother and father, of dear friends who may never again greet you at home. Or you may be crippled for life, and, in addition to the waste of years have another impediment in the race with your fellows for the success es of life. One day we had a com rade, joyous and light hearted making the best of a soldier's life, enjoying sports with us or talking in happy hopes of the coming time when we should return to our friends and homej The next day that comrade is wracked with pain of cruel wounds 01 his boy sh face is cold in death. But the battle field is not the only post of , danger or ten of valor or merit in the "oidier. He who thinks so is greatly mistaken. The true soldier goes . nere he is sont, and thnt may be on I Kiurd or polioj duty in ne legions of miasmatic swamps, ;u i- the Missis sippi bottoms or t;ie f.utiisianna la goons. 1 The figures of war show that di- ease, the exposures and hardships of camp and field, and the strain of those unavoidable incidents of soldier life in all sections are more deadly foes to health and vigor and the vitality of soldiers than battle wounds. In the unhealthy reeions of swamns. in the hot scorching suns of summer and the chilling rains of winter, in in adequate protection from the elements, in food but poorly cooked and limited in variety, and in the many inconven iences and deprivations of the com mon comforts of life are met more deadly foes than rifle or cannon. He who was so unfortunate as to be sent to southern prison pens was going in to comparatively certain death. The records of Andersonvillc show 'a mor tality for the month of October. 186.1. of 18 per cent. Do you realize those figures? It meais total annihilation of a body of men in less than six months Very few men remained in prison over six months and came home to a future of health. If any did they had fared better than com mon. You cannot understand the terrible trials of prison life in the south. You may see the picture, but the whole truth in its realism is not there any more than the picture of Niagara Falls can convey the thunder of the cataract or the irresistible force of the moving mass of water. I would not, if I could, describe all the horrors of that life. And even what is told you cannot feel. You cannot feel that gnawing hunger, morning, noon and night, hour after hour, week after week, month after month, while the body shrinks, and you are constantly growing weaker, fighting vermin, look ing into the eyes of comrades miser able as Jyourself; seeing gant and haggard shapes about you that are the shadows of yourself ; jealous lest your comrade shall get a crumb of bread that belongs to you, watchful that the rations are divided as exactly to a hair's weight as human eye and human judgment can make it. I have had to step in between men to stop a fight because one comrade complained that some crumbs fell on his side of the knife, in dividing the bread ration, had been scraped up by another. Look further and see the scurvied flesh. Scant quantity was joined with scant quality and scant variety. The end of the finger pressed on the flesh left a cavity that no longer sprang back with life, and teeth could be rat tled against each other by a touch of the finger. Men's feet were frosted to blackoess and to the loss of nails and worse. All this I have seen and more. I have heard in the dark night when every ray of light was shut out, the groaning of those who, compelled to grope their way to another part of the room, have fallen through the un protected stairway opening to the floor below. Groaning the night long, the stairway having been removed, his comrades could not, and the rebel guards would not help him. I dare not tell you all, but as an American I am proud to say that with grand forti tude those men in their starving con dition encouraged each other with patriotic fervor to confidence in the ultimate triumph of the nation. I said men and they were men. Youths, like these before me, made men in the highest sense by the strong growth of patriotism and the forcing culture of trials and hardships. Young it years but old and haggard m experience, From three to five years taken away from one's life between 18 and 25 is no light matter. Those years thus lost can never be regained, and he who loses them is that much behind in the life race. Add the hardships and ex posure, wounds or disease, the physi cal constitution weakened and you have a large bill to count in sacrifice by him who obeys the call of his coun try as a soldier. Here, in the path of peace and homes of prosperity, the killed and crippled are but incidents in history. We are apt to forget the sacrifice of the best years of life, the weakened constitutions, the lingering disease, sometimes latent, but yet, es pecially with men naturally rugged, springing up in later years to sap the health and strength. Over 369,000 Union soldiers laid down their lives m suppressing rebellion. About two of these by disease to one by wounds, This is remarkable when the record of wars in civilized countries give nve derths by disease to one by wounds. It shows the hardihood, as well as the valor, of the American, and the sever lty of the fighting. In a great many union regiments the record reverses the civilized rule and shows a loss of from three to five by wounds to one bv disease. Such records appear in many Fennsylvania regiments. The men, or rather boys, when they went into service were stripped of every piece of clothing and thoroughly ex amined for every weakening defect, They went into the service in perfect health and strength. Remember this when you see these same men in middle lile, broken down, with a lack of vigor and vitality belonging to men at least ten years older. Of those who survived th.-ir service and were discharged I doubt if two thirds as many are alive as would have been alive had they seen no service. M&f) , in or hould be .f2 Of young men alive at twenty, dinary hie, about two thirds shoul alive at fifty. When it is omsi.'rred that in accordance with ciim Irom the very first organization f the gov ernment of the Uniicd rftau the- wid ows of all deceased soldieis and all boldicrs disabled in service are pen sioned, and that soldiers of previous wars have been pensioned after they pass middle Hie, the cry that a few enemies of the soldiers of 1861-1865 are raising against the system of pen sions is contrary to the history of the nation and unjust to those to whom the country owes its progressive pros perity. That spirit is no encourage ment to the youth of the country should another great emergency arise. The cry in 1861 was: "Young men go I The country needs you and you shall not suffer by the sacrifice." I have heard the remark that the soldier was paid for his services. In the ser vice were men who had just about finished their apprenticeship or who had become more or less proficient in business, or skilful in agriculture or the various occupations. Young men in large numbers well educated and just ready to go into professional studies. The first enlisted man killed in our company was a college graduate in 1861. He enlisted before com mencement day. Another enlisted man killed in the same battle was a fine Greek and Latin scholar. And tht re were many students and gradu ates from different colleges with us. Nearly all our men were fitted for more than the work of a common laborer, and yet they were getting, for hardships and exposure and the dangers of the battle field, first eleven and afterwards thirteen dollars per month, working week days and Sun days, when a common laborer at that time was getting fifty dollars and up wards with the comforts of home life. I mention these facts because the time has come when men either ig norant or forgetful of the sacrifices of the soldier and of the grandeur of this nation and its prosperity as compared with what it would have been liad se cession succeeded.fall into the habit of slurring the soldier and of crying out in parsimonious horror aga:nst the pension list. If any man has fraudulently obtain ed a pension, for service not rendered, let the remedy be applied to him and not in wholesale denunciation of the :rving. If some man who wore the blue, weakened by his exposure is unable to resist temptation to in temperance remember that the great body of his comrades are, on the aver age more temperate and well behaved citizens that can well be found. And don't unfairly pick out the exception as the general rule. When you have pensioned the living and the widows of the dead of over two and a quarter million union sold iers you will have done no more than is done for the soldiers of the Mexi can war, most of whom were rebels, About four years ago while waiting for the change of cars at Northumber land, l saw some veterans who were gathering for a regimental re-union. When 1 went into the car I heard young man who looked as u he was in comfortable circumstances with a claim of intelligence, in answer to a remark of another about the soldiers, say sneeringly: "Yes some of them are still around.' I thought there were a great many things that man did not know. I had known that regi ment. It had served in the same di vision in which I had served. It had done good service and never failed in its duty. I knew it when those gray heads were young, borne of its mem bers were my playmates. I knew their record in camp and field. About IS per cent, of their number had died of their wounds. About 4 per cent, had died of disease in their three year s service. Of the survivors who had been discharged from service, had they come home as hearty- as when they entered the service, there should have been at the time of that re-union over 600 alive according to life tables. But not two-thirds of that number could be discovered by their comrades who managed their association. They were gathering there from far and near, even from the Rocky mountains and the Pacific coast, but they could find no such number alive. In fact we did not see there one hundred I And yet that man could sneer because of that hundred. They were too many for his taste. He knew nothing o their sacrifices, of their perils, he knew nothing of the debt he and others owed tor the privilege ot living in a land of freedom and prosperity, a united and peaceful country. He did not know that he begrudged those few their remaining years of life in the country they had saved. And wt; know that he was a stranger to that love of country which the soldier feels Such as he are well described by the poet 2 "High though his titles, proud his name Boundless his wrath as wish enn claim J lespite those titles, power and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living shall forfeit fair renown, And doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonored and unsung." The lessons of to-day are the les sons of patriotism ; not merely casting flowers on the sods that cover. the graves of the dead.. We are taught. while we honor the. memory of the dead to do justice by the living.

We should strive that each of us shall in his pri vate individual life do his part to make our nation a truthful honorable and righteous people. And in our public duties weigh every question in the scale of patriotism, whether it be a question of tariff or currency, morals or education, monopoly or enterprise. Test everything by the grand principle kid down in the Declaration of Inde- pence, 'AH men are created equal." Antagonism to that principle brought on rebellion. Devotion to it crushed rebellion. Let our progress continue in that line if we would preserve to the world American institutions and shed the light of liberty throughout the earth and to all the inhabitants thereof. There is more Catarrh in this sect" ion of the country than all other di seases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. r or a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescri bed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced itincurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. T.
