WAS NOT PATRIOTIC
CRITICISM OF YESTERDAYS
CELEBRATION.
Some People Think That Baseball
Games Are Improper as Decoration
Day Events.

HonOlulu's celebration of Decoration
Day was not all that could be desired,
in the opinion of many Grand Army
men and others of the older generation.
These are inclined to object to baseball
games and other amusements and to
take the view that the day should be
more devoted to its solemn memories.
The day should be one devoted to
the memories of the soldiers who died
in the great war;" said one of those who
holds this view land especially should
the younger generation be influenced to
think of such things, rather than of a
baseball game. Other American cities
do not regard the day as one for sports,
and l do not see why Honolulu should
Memorial day was not established for
such purposes
THE day is not necessarily one of
mourning, but 1t is one set aside for
showing respect to the veterans of the
war, federal or confederate, for both
fought for what they believed TO be
right. Flags are half masted, on all
buildings, and surely there is an in
congruity in holding sporting events be-
meath half masted flags. 1t is time that
something was done in Honolulu to
impress this lesson, especially upon the
younger generation, that they may
grow up to remember the day for what
1t Is, as those remember it who actually
nave relatives whose tOmDS are among
those to be decorated.
Honolulu had exercises in commemo-
ration of the day, it is true but 1 OBJ
served crowded special cars going to
the baseball game and it was at the
game that the young people were to be
found. The children ought to be the
ones to decorate the graves. If they are
not to be taught to do this and to feel
the solemnity of the holiday. what is
n Of hA ,s.,1 n.
future? What sort of remembrance will
the dead ones in whose honor the hol-
day was established have, when those
who lived through the war have pass
ed away, and the men and women of
the period look back to Memorial Days
that were only occasions for sports? it
would be better to abolish the day al
together, and have no attempt at OBJ
serVance, than to have day set aside
and then spend it in games
The occasion is one that should be
observed with the greatest respect. 1t
should be as if the community were
pausing from business in respect to the
memory of some dead President, or
other official. Honolulu had a day for
doing honor to William Mckinley. How
would baseball game have looked on
that way? Yet there is no difference
or should not be. Oh Memorial Day we
pause to remember and honor our SOL
dier dead. 1t is poorly done when we
gather at public sports while the rest
of the country is devoting the time to
recalling the soldier dead seeking to
impress on the youth of the nation the
lesson which their lives should teach.
II hope the future will see the school
children doing more on Memorial Day
than they did yesterday, and that
Honolulu will not again be disgraced
as she was yesterday. The schools
ought to take the lead, and the pupils
should be the ones to lay the flowers on
the soldiers graves"

FORWARD" is oeNvER,s MOTTO.
Prize Essay on How to Make the Motto
Effective.

eUeCtlvSs
Denver. June 24.-Frank B. Gibson,
vice president Of the International
Trust Company, having offered,
through the Colorado Bureau OF In
formation, the sum OF $25 for the best
paper on methods of making Denvers
motto, Forward" effective, there
were large number Of papers sub
mitted and the prize was awarded to
Wayne G. Williams, reporter on the
Denver News stan, who was formerly
a student at the University of Denver
and editor of the University paper. 1t
is believed by the Press Bureau of In
formation that not only Denver but
other Colorado cities will be able to
benent by the measures suggested. The
paper Is as. follows:
Mr.. Thomas d. Parker. Manager Colo
RADIO Press Bureau OF Information.
Dear SIr-The problem of securing
the general adoption Of Denver's
motto, Forward" by all Its citizens,
is two fold:
|. First-The people must become thor
oughly familiarized with 1t, and it
must be brought before them often
enough to make it common. 1t cannot
| become too common.
Second-A civic pride and unity of
interest In the motto must be aroused
among citizens, high and low, which
will make it motto revered and re-
spected, and significant to everyone
who repeats 1t.
1-Popularlzing the Motto.
| (a) The newspapers must play the
first and most important part. Per-
haps their owners do not appreciate
their vital relation to the city's growth
and progress. Let the papers have IL
Illustrated cartoons, place the motto mt
the head of their columns. comment on
1t in editorials. and offer prizes for
essays on. say Five Things that Den
yer's Motto Stand For"
(b) The merchants can do much to
popularize the motto. In display win
dows. in stationery. in giving out tick
cts Of every sort, the motto can be ad.
! vertised to great advantage. 1t could
be inscribed on banners. A general
form OF Denver stationery. ernbodying
the MOTTO might be approved by the
chamber Of commerce or the press bu-
reau, and all business men be asked TO
| use 1t.
tc) Street cars could carry the motto

Wagons and autos might display it.

sentation Of the motto. Unions might
inscribe 1t on their banners.
(d) The city council should adopt 1t.
at once. as the official motto Of Den-
yer. When the city hall is reopened.
il with ceremonies, the motto should
find an appropriate place. The Carter
museum and the new public library
should display 1t conspicuously, over
the doors, In painting in design, or
In some permanent form.
(e) The button plan Is good, though
much used. 1t is not so easy to get
people to wear buttons The buttons
should be free. and special induce
ments should be offered, OF some minor
sort. for those who wear them, such
as admission to some form OF enter
lament. Make 1t u matter Of pride to
have one.
BY following these lines, and even
broader. ones, the motto would become
thoroughly familiar to all citizens.
2-To Make 1t Part of the City's
Future Life and Growth
1t will be seen that the process of
famlliarizatiun will also partially ac-
cOmplish this second result aimed at.
1t is, however, not difficult to get peo-
pie to display a motto. but much more
difficult to make it daily Inspiration
to them, and to make it express our
city's spirit of progress. f

may help. along different lines. They
should lose no opportunity to. point out

future development. In many cities.
