IN HISTORIC ARLINGTON.
Should the Wives of Dead Soldiers Be
Buried There Too?

The question of who are entitled to
burial at Arlington and other national
cemeteries is now before Congress, hav-
ing come up under the application to
the Quartermaster-Gener by Col. NJ.
d. Simpson, a retired officer of the reg
ular army, for two lots in Arlington in
which to deposit the remains of his
wife and son, now in vaults in other
places. The Quartermaster-Gener
has denied the request for a lot for the
son, on the ground that, if this is per-
mitted, the cemeteries will soon cease
| to be National, in the sense of the law
| instituting them. Secretary Elkins
| has sent the papers to Congress for in
structions, and he remarks that, while
there is 81 eat deal of available ground
! in the cemeteries at Arlington and
| West Point, there is no law allowing
even officers to be buried there, much
less their families.
| What action Congress will take in
| the matter cannot be forseen. Our
| idea is that burials in the national
cemeteries should be restricted to men
who have served honorably in the
army and navy of the United States,
and their wives. That soldiers, sailors
and marines should be buried there
goes without saying. That is what
the cemeteries are for. 1t will be a
great hardship 10 deny any veteran
the privilege to have the faithful wife
lie beside him. Unless this can be
given many veterans will prefer not
to avail themselves of the privilege.
They would much rather take their
last sleep in the ground consecrated
as the final resting-places of their
dearly-loved wives. But it would
seem that this great privilege cannot
be extended beyond the wives of vet
Grams without sacrificing the main
feature which makes the national
cemeteries such coveted burial-places.
They are the nations holy places, and
should be jealousy restricted to the
interment of those who have offered
themselves as sacrifice to the nation S
well-being, and of their wives. Ma
tional Tribune.
