When Manhattan was, laid out as a town in. 1855 the original plat contained Manhattan Parka tract of 40 acres' set aside as a park from the very Beginning of the town. It is somewhat remarkable that these few early settlers with their nw life all before them should have taken thought of what would be a pleasure and benefit to all comjng generations. But it was In keeping with all the early foundations, of Manhattan. Our fathers builded better than they knew.

You may have noticed our neighboring town have had to vote bonds to secure money to buy iand for a Park. Our park was open prairie for many yeras then was leased to Hiram Kearns and T. M.

Professor Burr's address was in keeping with the spirit of the day, reviewing, the causes which led America's "heroic dead" to lay down their lives in the wars of the; past. The text of the address follows; "A lqng line of Old Soldiers marching sadly down the street on Decoration Day, to the cemetery, to place flowers upon the graves of the, in departed comrades. Younger men arid women and children on 'the gide-iines, either cheering or looking curiously on, or standing reverently with lowed heads. The line shortening" with each-succeeding Decoration Day.

Today, its honoring our fallen heroes, I wish to draw a different picture. It is a picttfre of those same heroes as they Were when some actually fell in battle, others lay sick and dying in field hospitals, others' persisted in the long march to the sea, and many marched home again with the -victory won.

We spoke truly when we called the Civil war soldiers 'the BOYS in It was a boys' Cru- Bade; the very fact that so many of them are' with us yet sixty years from the time of the conflict, is proof that it" was an uprising, of American youth. 'Old men for council, young men for war' haa proven a true slogan in our American life. The Civil war, the Spanish-American war, the World war our participation in these in the actual fighting has been by the young. "If you might discover the appeal that stirs the youth of a nation to the fighting point, you would discover the real heart of the nation.

Kipling states a motive of certain soldiers whom he knew in the English wars of conquest, 'Ow the loot, Bloomin' loot! That's the thing to make the boys git up and shoot! It's the same with dogs an' men, If you'd make 'em come again, Clap 'em forward with the Loot "Wars of conquest, wars of tob-bery tiese have appealed to certain groups and certain nationalities. The spirit of such 'wars has been "the cause of the downfall' of nations. The fought to retain their spoil of Spain fought to etain and extend her tyranny over subject peoples. Germany fought to extend her domains in a great super-Germany. To the extent thai the youth of these people arose to the they failed.

They failed because the spirit that responds to such an appeal will always "To what sort of an appeal has the spirit of American youth responded our Civil war, in our Spanish American war, and in our great war? Answer arid you telf the destiny of America. "Let. those who decry our youth in this time or in any time, take notice of the answer that history makes to this question. Let the rest1 Of the world that calls us dollar lovers listen to the recounting of the record. Let those of our own reformers who think that American youth of today is decadent consider if this spirit does not still, prevail.

"The Civil war was fought to quell secession. That is true. But Abraham Lincoln' knew young America well enough to iknow that the spirit of' American youth heeded something more than a question of political forms to inspire to the sacrifice of life. The master stroke of his pen the Proclamaljtf, and fired Americsin youth with the spirit of crusaders. They saw the black men enslaved, and the white man becoming a tyr ant through practicing slave-holding.

The youth of America were appealed to, to strike slavery forever from the face of the earth. With the cry, 'We're coming Father the boys of the sixties rallied to the call of unselfish idealism. They would make the supreme sacrifice for the sake of preserving the American ideals of democracy fraternity and liberty. "The years passed. Another generation of American youth are on the stage of action.

of youth in the late nineties were abroad as they were In the sixties. Suddenly, word was heralded over the country that the Maine had been sunk by a Spanish torpedo. A few hot-headed leaders thought to call American youth into the conflict by the revengeful slogan, 'Remember the Main'; to hell with Spain'. But McKinley knew bettef the spirit of young America. He presented to them Cuba and Porto Rico, Suffering at our very doors the hbrrors of an unbearable tyrany.

The call wa3 to leave our home shores and give our lives to extend to these neighboring people the freedom which we enjoyed and which We had Secured even for our black men at so great a price. And again Young America responded, and the youth of the nineties were just as heroic as the youth of the sixties in giving all for a great ideal. "The century mark passed. Europe was seething with restrained Conflict. Suddenly the preisure was removed at one point, and the great volcano broke forth America was not directly involved The "broad oceafts isolated us from the conflict.

We looked on at the European war in '14 and '15 as an exhibition of nations gone crazy with envy of each other. We were nearly all pacifists. We elected a president on the proposition of keeping out of the conflict. Then we came nearer and nearer to the edge of the volcano. We were about to become involved whether or no, and with our spirits not yet stirred for the conflict.

Even the sinking of the Lusitania was not sufficient to rouse the fighting spirit of revenge. Then it was that Woodrow Wilson, as had Lincoln and McKinley, sensed the real spirit of American Youth. he called, We must make the world saft for democracy!"

-There were to be four park entrances and the Southeast corner which was about four feet ower at that time, was to be converted Into a lake. Prof. Walters says, "I made a survey of the Park and Its environment, laid it out nad specified the tree groups all substantially as they are now. I think today the City Park should be a natural landscape rather than a curiosity shop." In 1889 an Arbor Day was appOine The College donated trees and almost the whole town tufned out to plant them. These trees were mere saplings and were planted on the East and South sides of the park.

This shonld have been done 20 years before. The trees cannot be called magnificent now, but seem to satisfy tourists. Many of the evergreens were donated by Judge Kimble. It was In Dr. Roberts was mayor, that a Park Commission was appointed consisting of three persons, one appointed for three years, one for two years and one for one year.

These commissioners' were to have charge of all Parks and public squares In Manhattan "and shall, with the concurrence of the council take such action as will secure the protection of and beautifying of the same; to plant, cultivate and grow trees therein and perform all things which shall, in their judgement, pro mote the Interests of Manhattan.
