MEMORIAL DAY.

! To-day there will be parades and the
strewing of flowers on graves and
tomorrow orations. It has been
some two score years since the
men to be honored by these DEM
| onstrations gave up their lives, but
their memory is as dear as 1t
was when the sod was fresh upon
! their devoted breasts. Soldiers of the
| Southern Confederacy, they placed the
greatest offering that men can make
upon the altar of their country. Now,
as an earnest that their sacrifice is
appreciated. and will continue to be
as long as Southern hearts beat true,
an annual tribute of wreathes and
flowers is laid upon their last resting
places.
The custom of decorating the graves
of the, soldiers with blooms and greens
each spring is a beautiful one. 1t is
not only a tribute of affection to valor,
but a reminder to the growing-up gen.
Grafton that the heroes who sleep be-
meath the mounds were men and SOL
diers worthy of their country and Of
the esteem ana emulatlOn OF those ludl
come after. The exercises excite in
terest in the young. who wish to learn
more of the Southern soldiers whose
memory is being celebrated; they seek
information, and, having found it, be-
come imbued with the same spirit that
moved the men of the sixties to war,
and the women and survivors since
that dark period to tears and flowers
and orations on the recurring me-
mortal days.
There is no tinge of bitterness to-
wards another section in the exercises
of to-day. Patriotism is nowhere
more sincerely felt than in the South.
The country is now lone and insep-
arable," and Southern manhood is as
ready to defend it as is the manhood
of any other geographical division. 1t
is the tribute that a reverent affection
pays to devotion and self-sacrifce that

the graves of their dead

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
LAS nearly as we can get at Col. Bry-
ans idea of Democratic harmony it
consists in all Democrats subscribing
to his opinions and also for the Com
moner."
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem. }
says Presidential booms can be had
at this stage for the asking. Every
state has at least one, and Alabama
presents Gen. Joe Wheeler for the vice
presidential nomination"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: 1T is said that Mr.. Cleve-
lands failure to lecture at Princeton
University this spring is due to his de-
sire to prepare carefully for his COM
ing speech at the dedication of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at ST.
Louis. On the same day President
Roosevelt will speak, and the two men
will be brought into direct and i'm
mediate comparison. Their themes will
be substantially the same, but the
treatment is likely to be different in the
two efforts"
The Philadelphia Record CDem.) says:
at is now generally admitted by dairy
men that the anti-oleo law, in so far
as it's object was to drive oleomar-
garine out of the market, has proven
a dismal failure There has been eff
fected only a temporary check in pro-
duction. A practical check has been
put upon the practice of artificial COL
oring as a result of the prohfbitive
tax of 10 cents a pound imposed by
the law. But by increasing the use
of cottonseed oil as an ingredient it
ha hnan dfenCEFarcH that he -
butter may be nearly initiated without
resort to artificial coloring. The Il
cent a pound tax on uncolored oleo-
margarine Is not heavy enough to ex-
clude II from the market, and the fact
that IL must be sold as 'oleo.' and not
as butter contrary 10 expectation, has
not materially curtailed consumption. !"

THE RICHMOND CONFERENCE.

The effect of the Educational Con-
| ference that was in session at Rich
mond for several days during the past
week will be felt in all parts of the
South. The sessions of the Conference
were largely attended and the ad-
| dresses were of a character TO inten-
sify interest in education. 1t is ad-
mitted of course, that the South is
not as well equipped with schools as
she ought to be, and it is a fact that
she is not yet financially able to pro-
/ vide for her children all of the educa-
tional advantages she would like them
to have. She is doing for them, how
ever, the best she can. and gradually
she is providing more and better
schools.
She welcomes of course, all the as
sistance that is offered her, provided
it is offered in the right spirit. That
coming through the General Education
and the Southern Education boards
the boards which were at the Rich
mond Conference-is extremely accep-
table. 1t has already been considerable
and promises to increase steadily.
One effect of this educational move
ment has been to awaken an interest
in education among a class of people
that had been rather Indifferent to
it. The result of this will be event
| ually that local taxes will be levied
for school purposes in communities
which have, up to this time, depended
wholly upon the state for schools.
II would not be surprising if the
time were near at hand when the peo-
pie of these communities will be ready
to contribute freely for school pur-
poses.
1t is a fact that in this state
there has been more talk in the coun-
try districts, during the last two or
three years, of the need for better
schools than ever before. There is a
growing interest in education, and this
interest will become more marked as
the material condition of the people
improves.
A point brought out strongly at the
Richmond Conference was the impor-
ldilIS VI NllCOuAdBluS lilQQSlIldl lIdlil-
ing. There was a time when educa-
ton of this kind was not in high favor,
but it is no longer looked down upon.
On the contrary, it is coming to be
regarded as the most desirable kind.
The South is certain to have a great
industrial development. In all of the
industries there will be a demand for
specially educated young men. And in
the industries there will be more prizes
than in the professions. With an
abundance of raw material-cotton and
iron-the South is certain to be great
manufacturing section. Young men
therefore who seek an industrial train
| ing will make no mistake.
We venture to predict that the edu-
cational movement that is under the
control of the two education boards
will grow greater steadily, that its
means of doing good will increase to
large proportions and that in the South
it win bear abundant fruit.

FOUR DAYS FROM LAND TO LAND.

The magnificent new steamship
Kaiser Wilhelm III comes very nearly
realizing the late Austin Corbin's
dream of a steamship line between this
country and Europe that would make
the trip from land to land in a little
more than four days. Corbin's idea
was to have steamers run between
Milford Haven, in Wales, and Mon
tauk, Long Island. OF course rail-
roads would have connected Milford
Haven with London and other places,
and Montauk with New York.
The steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II
made the distance between Cherbourg,
France, and Nantucket lightship, off
the coast of Massachusetts,, in four
days and six hours. 1t is evident
from this that the distance between
Milford and Montauk could have been
made in about the same time, and yet,
when Mr.. Corbin suggested ships could
be built that would have such speed
as that he was laughed at, and that
was only about twelve years ago.
1t is said that the limit of speed has
been reached in ships that are expect
ed to earn a profit on their cost. In
the fast ships so much of the room is
taken up with machinery and for fuel
that there is little left for cargo and
passengers. OF course greater speed
can be attained, but the ships MAX
ing such speed would not be profitable.
There may be discoveries, however,
that will change conditions so that the
greater speed will be possible in profit
earning ships. 1t is doubtful if ma
rine engineers will accept the decision
that the limit of speed in profitable
ships has been reached.

a duty she owed to society.

struck the board as fair and just and by
a unanimous vote they adopted the
following:
Tt having been made to appear to
the Board Of County Commissioners
of Brown County, Minnesota, that IN
its action as county board Of equal
ization for the year 1908, said board
by the raises made on personal pro-
perty in Sleepy Eye, while it did not
unduly raise the aggregate assessed
valuation Of Sleepy Eye as a whole,
yet by reason of the fact that the per-
sons whose names were omitted from
the Sleepy Eye list were in the great
majority OF cases persons whose pro-
perty valuation was less than one
hundred dollars and who consequently
paid no taxes, such raise did increase
the valuation Of the aggregate taxable
property in Sleepy Eye to a greater
proportions than the taxable property
in other towns, so that while the tax
able valuation of Sleepy Eye, as fixed
by the state board in 1902, was in
round numbers Sl16, 700, the taxable
valuation Of the property in Sleepy
Eye this year is in round numbers
1914, 900 as fixed by the county board,
while the taxable valuation Of the pro-
perty of other towns in the county, in
Guiding among them New Ulm and
Springfield, as fixed by the county
board this year is slightly less than
the valuation of the property of said
towns as fixed by the state board in
1902.
Therefore, Be it resolved by the
Board of County Commissioners that
we recommend to the state board of
equalization that such board SO adjust
the assessment Of Sleepy Eye that the
taxable value of the property of said
district shall not be disproportionate
to the taxable value of the property in
other towns Of the county, while at the
same time said state board should not
relieve Sleepy Eye at the expense Of
other towns in the county, nor cast
any of the taxes to be borne by Sleepy
Eye upon other towns. =

they began posting underneath it,
