The influence of this day is benef-
icent, and pervasive in it's beneh-
cence. Every nation has it's holt
days which have been consecrated
to some eminent parsonage or hal
lowed to commemorate some great
historic event. Among national
holidays Memorial Day is unique in
its conception and observation.
The most of these holidays are
epochs of rejoicing; this is a day
for mourning and for tears; a day
TO recall the immortal deeds of
million heroes and to decorate their
graves with choicest flowers. They
were our fathers, brothers, friends;
the nations friends and defenders.
In the Seventy-nine national ceme-
teries where lie buried those who
persisted in the conflict, including
100000 unknown" dead, and In
every graveyard in the land where
the hand of affection has laid to rest
the remains of veterans. as they fell
by the wayside exhausted on the
march, the living gather on this 30th
of May to honor their memory and
to exult in the glory of the country
their heroism saved and consecrat-
ed anew to freedom. The inspira-
ton of this commemoration kindles
the fires of patriotism in the souls
of the young and keeps them bright
in the hearts of all. While the ma
ton shall honor the heroes of those
mighty days there will survive the
spirit of pervasive patriotism whose
impulse will uphold the flag.

Bank of River Falls.

The business of this bank has
been turned over to the Farmers &
Merchants State Bank with whom
we have been friendly ever since
it started.
During the 20 years of the banks
existence our business relations with
the public have been all we could ask
and not a cent has been lost by any
depositor. The panic of 1898 was
severe and in common with other
banks the stockholders felt their
loss, but they have borne their bur-
den without complaint and worked
hard to maintain the cherished and
supreme reWard-an unblemiShed
character. We simply say on bid
ding goodbye to our patrons that
we have fully appreciated their
kindness and we do, not know of an
enemy we have made in these %
years.

Artistic monuments cost no more
than plain ones in White Bronze
and are strictly everlasting. White
Bronze cannot crumb1e by the action
of frost; moss-growth is an impos-
sibility. 1t is more artistic than
any stone. Then why not investi-
gate it? 1t has been adopted for
over 100 public monuments, and by
thousands of delighted customers
in all parts of the country. 1t has
been on the market for over Is
years and is an established success.
We have I'll beautiful designs to
select from ranging in price from
81. 90 to 100000 and want you TO
see them if you are interested in a
monument, headstone, marker or
grave cover. On receipt of a postal
card will be pleased to call with de-
signs and sample of White Bronze.

Banks Must Dig Up

1t is estimated by State Auditor Jones,
nav their licenses under the law, the
several counties and the state combined.
Will be richer by at least 100000. Out
of the license fees to be paid by the
banks. 10 per cent goes to the state and
80 per cent to the county in which the
fee is collected In the distribution of
this 90 per cent, 90 per cent goes to the
schools and 90 per cent to the roads,
except when there is town organiza-
ton. in which case the road money is
paid over to the town corporation.
The national banks are claiming that
when they pay the government tax they |
are doing enough. and that license
imposed by the state law is bnrdensome
and unjust The state banks are al
leging that when they pay taxes on
their property thew are discharging
their full duty, and that license levied
ny the state law is double taxation.
Those who maintain that the state
law is just and is supported by de-
cision of the SUPP eme court, also refer
to the ruling of the supreme court, that
licence is not a tax. A queer sub
terfuge has ieen invented in some of
the outside counties, wherein it is
claimed that there is no law which
gives the sheriff authority to collect
the bank license fees. bnt that the duty
properly belongs to the different county
assessors This theory is being pro-
NOTED by county attorneys, who are
trying to give the banks grain of con-
ISOLATION. The encouragement is pre-
pairing an opinion on this subject, and
will soon have it ready Letters re-
ceived at the state auditors office show
that the counties of Cassia, Owyhee
and Custer, have no banks. Statesman
