176 THE MAINE BUGLE.
Is this indifference wise? It is the intention of the BUGLE to
sound no uncertain note on this subject. The participants of
the War of the Rebellion have passed the half century mark.
If their record and their service are to be completed with their
aid and their memory, it must be done now and before the few
remaining years of life shall have closed their mouths and
memory forever.
Instead of relying on the encouragement of aid from the
State of Maine, slow to move and awkward in her efforts to do
fair justice ; it may be better for the men of Maine, who
served that State and the Nation, at the peril of their lives on
land and sea, to take the burden on their own shoulders and
write their own histories and complete their own memorable
record. To this end and for this object the pages of the BUGLE
are open to all comrades.
