MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATES
OUR SACRIFICE FOR COUNTRY

Editor of The Times:
Christmas Day of patriotism 1t originat-
cd in the South in the hour of affiiction.
1t is its wreath of blossoms hung around
tie cross. 1t has taken hold OF the affec-
ticns and patriotic aspirations of the
people. 1t has long since de-sectionalized
itself spreading all over the country and
roofing itself everywhere in the best
feelings of the human heart.
There could be no better evidence of its
worth. AS an institution. it instructs.
purifies and ennobles. 1t fuses religion
and patriotism in its ceremonies and in
its teachings, and bringing history to the
shrine of prayer, it puts q day of grace
in companionship with its work-day fell
lows.
There can be no patriotism, as there
can be no religion and no heroism, with
out self-sacrifce. Sacrifice is the root of
Christianity, and must be the root of all
lefty creeds and all lofty deeds. Sacrl-
fee for country is what Memorial Day"
celebrates. and worthily rendered sacri-
fee for country is the sacrifice of man to
his Creator.
Memorial Day should be perpetuated from
generation to generation On its annual
recurrence the sacrifice of those who
have served their country should be COM
memorated by suitable exercises Let
history bring it's riches to preserve the
names and deeds of those whose lives
made them the best exemplars ct man
kipo, and let their memory, be crowned
with flowers.
Very respectfully.

GEN. JACOB SMITH ARRIVES
The Oficer Who Ordered ssmsr to Be
Transformed Into Howling Wilder
uess Informed OF His Retirement

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Gen. Jacob
Smith arrived yesterday from Manila
on the transport Thomas. Gen.
Smith positively declined to say any
thing for publication and would not
even allow reporters to approach
him. Through his aide, Lieut.. M. H.
Shields, Gen. Smith said that he
would not be interviewed as he did
not care to subject himself to further
criticism.
Gen. Smith, tried by court-martial
for having ordered the island OF
Samar transformed into a bowling
wilderness, was doomed on his arrd-
val to learn for the first time that
President Roosevelt had retired him
from active duty. When the Thomas
reached quarantine station MAJ. Du-
val, Of the transport service, boarded
the ship with his secretary and met
Gen. Smith and Lieut.. Shields at the
door Of the generals cabin. A
sealed document was handed to Gen
Smith. 1t contained the official mott
fication Of President Roosevelti
action and, upon reading 1t, Gen
Smith retired, overcome will
emotion.

New York, Aug. 2.-Bradstreet's

concentrated on crop and industrial
developments. Generally lower prices
for farm products point to the
former being largely favorable.
Though weather conditions Of late
have been more active and favorable,
accounts Of backward weather have
not been effaced or repaired. Az for
the fall and winter outlook, how
ever, the best is predicted. In indus
trial affairs the outlook is certainly
satisfactory. The iron and steel sit

but isolated examples Of weakness
are in sight.

ton for the Pythian conclave and
the entertainment Of 10000 visitors

,ial train of Pythians will reach the

Bo1LERMAKERs' STRIKE.
About 1900 Men In Chicago Demand In
creased Wages and Recognition OF Union
Three Shops C0nceds Demands.

Chicago, Aug. S.-Boilermakers and
shipbuilders and their helpers to the
number of 1900 men employed in
the contract and job shops in this
city, struck because the master
boilermakers' association refused to
concede demands made upon them
for an increase in wages and the
recognition of their union.
Important victories were won by
the men during the day, three OF
the largest shops in the city having
signed the union scale and 200 OF
the men will return to work to-day.
Coming on the first day of the strike
the acquiescence of these firms to
the unions demands is hailed by the
strikers as an indication that the
strike will be of short duration.

MORE EARTHQUAKES.
Yesterday Forenoon Four Shocks
Were Felt in Los Alamos.
PEOPLE SPENT NIGHT IN STREETS.


Santa Barbara, Cal, Aug. 2.-Dur-
ing yesterday forenoon four severe
shocks Of earthquake were felt in
Los Alamos valley. Several buildings
not already destroyed were badly
cracked. One immense structure be-
longing to Juan Careaga, q short dis
tance from Los Alamos, turned part
" around on its foundation. Not .
house was inhabited Thursday night,
the people building bonfres in the
streets and spending the night
around them in groups.
A special train from San Luis Obs
DO, sent to Los Alamos at the re-
quest Of residents, took away about
half the people remaining in the
town and yesterday morning every
body who could secure vehicles de-
parted from the place, leaving for
San Luis Obispo, Lompoc or Santa
Maria.
The latest advices received at noon
state that the earth continues to
tremble at intervals Of about an
hour and half. The shocks are
followed by loud reports as from
cannon. The Careaga country tor
miles around Los Alamos suffered,
but the shocks were not as heavy
ss at the latter place.
Deny That Much Damage Was Done
Los Alamos, Cal, Aug. 2.-The re-
ports telegraphed from this place
and other sections Of Santa Barbara
and San Luis Obispo county, telling
Of the enormous damage done here
by the series Of earthquakes which
have visited this county and this VI
cinity in particular at frequent in
tervals since July ~, have been gross
ly exaggerated. 1t is an undeniabls
fact that there has been an unprece-
dented number Of earthquakes, some
Of them more or less severe, but as
to the reports of great fissures in the
earth, upheavals Of the earth and
similar stories Of the havoc wrought
1t is only charitable to say that they
are untrue. Within the limits OF Los
Alamos the property damage will moi
exceed $4,000.

Speaking Of Balfour,s education,

Speaking Of Balfour's educational
bill, writer in New York paper
says that when Mr. Gladstone in 1886
brought in his home rule bill large
section Of the dissenters withdrew
from the liberal party. Many of them,
like Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Bright,
went into the liberal unionist camp,
and they have stayed there Others
withdrew from politics altogether, and
have never voted since that day. Now
we see all sections of the dissenters
drawing together to resist this bill, and
many a member of the house curses
the day it was conceived, as he knows
that he votes for it he certainly will
not return to parliament. Some say
that Mr. Balfour will not be able to
force it Through the house, in spite of
the size of his tory majority, but this
seems unlikely. The party whip is
used with great vigor, and Mr. Cham
berlain has had the liberal -unionists
meet him, and has declared that they
must swallow the bill. 1t must be a
dose for himself, for in 1870 he was
the leader of the most extreme dis
senters against even Mr. Forster's far
more moderate measure. But he has
swallowed so many of his former prin-
ciples and convictions that it does not
cost him much to get this one down

1T is EASY TO BE A NOBODY.

Tt is the easiest thing in the world
to be a nobody" All that is neces-
sary is to do nothing. OF to be like the
boy who, when questioned by his
father as to why he resigned his posi-
work was too hard I am looking for
something easy"
s'Look for a 'ssoft snap" Don't get
up in the morning until you feel like
it, Don't go to work until you are
obliged to- Don't put yourself out to
meet engagements. Never mind If you
miss train, or if you are half an hour
late ait your work.
IL you are at school don't trouble
about preparing your lessons. "Crib'
whenever You can; cheat as often as
possible, and get the best of your
teacher whenever you see chance,
and your progress in the desired direc-
tion will be assured.
If you are in college never mind
about scholarship; the main thing is
to slide through. You can employ a
tutor at the close of each term and
"cram' for the examination. Have a
good time.' and never bother about
results: they viii take care of them
selves.
Do not try to do things as well as
you can; any wav win do. If you are
saving a board. do not exert yourself
to saw it straight. IT you start to
make sled or a bookcase, never mind
about completing it: or. If Won do. put

1t is announced that President
Roosevelt will recommend to the com,
ing session of congress the abolition of
the tariff duty on coal, regarding that
as one of the means of protecting the
people from the reign of high prices
on their fuel, and of checking the
rapacity of the coal trust. II this
method is used to remedy the evils OF
the coal trust, why is it that the re
publicans will refuse that same rem
edy for the sugar trust, the food trust,
the steel trust and the thousand and
one other trusts which are to-day
grasping at the very vitals of the pub
lie? When the republican party in
yokes the abolition Of the tariff on coal
to check the coal monopoly, and as a
preventative of high prices and short
age, it stamps the lie on the utterances
of its leaders when they say that the
placing Of. trust-made goods on the
free list is no remedy for the evils OF
the trusts If it is no remedy then
why apply it in the case of the coal
trust? It is a remedy. The president
knows that it is a remedy and he will
try to apply it in this one case. But
why not in every case? Why not?
