Tpxt of Prize Winning Editorial in Annual Pulitzer Contest. Frank M. O'Hrien of the Nev.* York ' Herald is the winner this year of the {annual Pulitzer prize of $1,000 for the i i best editorial. His editorial, 'The j Unknown Soldier," appeared in The Herald of November xl. It is a beautiful I'jot e of wqrltuinu worthy <>,' art; mission into every scrap book. It Is ; as follows: > jr. ' That whicly takps pin.(? today at 1 the National' ^emetery in Arlington is a symbol, a mymcry and a tribute, ft is an entombment only in the physical sense: It is rather the enthronement erf duty andjhonor. This man wh? died for his country is the symbol of these quafitiefe: a far more perfect symbol tha'p any man could he i > - nn l-nmir T-f n \? 11 <?r; c ii'iniv auvi trcTrvio ? r ^ represents moVe, rWilly, than the unidentified dead, for vie cannot separate them spiritually frdm the war heroes whose names are written on their gravestones. He?this spirit whom I , we honor?stands for the unselfishness of nil. This, of all monuments to the dead, ; is lasting and immutable. * So long as men revere the liner things of life the tomb of the nair.clesss hero will remain a shrine. N'or, with the shifts of time and mind can there be a changing of values. No historian shall rise to modify the virtues or the faults t of the soldier. He\hah an immunity for which kings might pray. The yeais may bring! erosion to the granite but not to the memory of the un! known. It is a common' weakness of hu? manity to a-sk the question that can never be answered in this life. Probably none to whom the drama of the unknown soldier lias appealed has not wondered who. in the sunshine of earth, was the protagonist of today's ceremony. A logger from the Penob scot ? An orcharilist from the/Pacific oast? A well driller from Texas? A machinist from Connecticut? A , lad "who left Ids hoc to rust among the Missouri corn? A longshoreman from Hill's Kitchen? Perhaps some youth from the tobacco fields, resting' again in his own Virginia. All that the army tells us of hirn is that he died in battle. All that the heart tells is that some woman loved him. More "'than that no man shall learn. In this ; mystery, as in the riddle of the universe. the wise wondei*; hut they would not know. What were his dreams, his ambi: tions? Likely he shaml those c<*minon to the millions; a life of peace and honest struggle, with such small ! success as comes to most who try: | and at the end the place on the hillside among his fathers. Today to do | honor at his last resting place come ino greatest soldiers or me age, lamous state'Siiirn from other continents, the I presidt lit. the high judges and the legislators of his own country, and many men who, like himself, fought for the flag. At his b'.er will gather the most remarkable group that America has seen. And .he tomb wiiich Kate reserved for him is, Instead of the narrow cell on the village hillside, one as lasting as that of Rameses and as inspiring a.?t Napoleon's, i It is a great religious ceremony, this burial today. The exaltation of the nameless holms would not be possible except lor belief. Where | were duty and lmnor. the well-springs j of victory, if mankind feared that tdpnth , drew ,a black .vurtuin behind ' which lay nothing hill the d:irk? SoN all in whom the spark of home has not died can well bilieve that we. whom the soldier is a mystery, are not a mystery to him. They can believe that tiie watchers at Arlington today are not merely a fdw thousand of*the living, but the countless battalions of the departed. "Though he were dead, yet shall he live"?there is the promise to which men hold when everything of this earth has slipped away. All the impressive ritual of today would he mockery it wo- did not believe that, out in aft infinity which astronomers cannot chart or mathematicians bound, the unknown soldier and all the glorious dead whom we . honor in his dust- are looking down upon this little spinning ball, e >ti i-'iiim nf 0111* reverence, \ndwhcn noon strikes, signal for the moment of silent prayer, few of those who stand with bared head will lack conviction that the rites at Arlington are viewed by other than mortal eyes. Only in j that spirit may we honor the unknown soldier and those who, like , him, died for this republic. Unknown, but not unknowing. i ?
