Memorial Day

Memorial Day was appropri.
ately observed by the local Post
G.. A. r. and the citizens of Hope
and surrounding country. At
ten o'clock the old veterans form
ed and marched to the cemetery
where exercises were conducted
in honor of the departed heroes,
At two o'clock the exercises be-
gan in the hall being opened by
Rev. Roush. Comrade FL. S.
Curry addressed the old soldiers
in q few we'll chosen remarks
after which Hon g. D. Washburn
read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. "Our Honored Dead"
a very pretty and patriotic recita-
ton, was very ably rendered by
Miss Carrie Milligan to a musical
accompaniment.
The memorial address, deliver
ed by w. J. Courtney of Page,
was one of which any one might
have been proud. 1t was a
mastery effort and evidenced
deep thought and careful pre-
paration. The exercises closed
by the pronouncing of the bene-
diction by Rev. Gilpatrick.

HIGH NOON AT SEA.
From the New York World


The most momentous improvement
in navigation since the invention Of
the chronometer over 140 years ago,
has just been foreshadowed in a mod
est paragraph in the report of the
chief of the Bureau of Equipment of
the United States navy.
1T is believed" says Chief Manney,
that the development of wireless
telegraphy will enable these ttimel
signals to be distributed over water
as well as over land, and that before
long every ship at sea, in addition to
every land station, will receive daily
noon signals from the standard OBJ
servatory clock"
What does that mean? Nothing less
than the elimination of the last ele-
ment of uncertainty from the problem
of finding the position of a ship at
sea. Hitherto the one weak point in
navigation has been the difficulty of
carrying standard time on a voyage.
Observations for local time as well as
for latitude have been exact, but the
comparison of local with standard
time for obtaining the longitude has
involved a certain amount of guess
work. The best chronometer is not
quite infallible, and some allowance,
which may not be precisely right, has
always to be made for errors.
But with time signals received from
a national observatory every day at
noon the mariner will know his way
over any part of the wide ocean as
accurately as If he We're threading a
buoyed channel. The chronometer will
join the cross-staff and the astrolabe
in the junk heap of discarded make
shifts.
And of course a ship that can COM
municate with the shore for one pur-
iC llNr To- rN.Dl- > L.
world or any other communication it
needs to make.

Personal.

Ex-senator w. D. Washburne, of
Minnesota, is the only survivor of sew
en- brothers, four of whom attain
ed national fame, and three of whom
were members of the National House
of Representatives of the same time,
the only instance in the political his
tory of this government where three
men thus related had seats in Con-
gress simultaneously.
Mrs. Mckinley, who is in better
physical condition than for many years,
habitually refers to the assassination
of her husband as that dreadful deed"
She seldom meets any of her friends
without speaking of the Buffalo trag-
edy that desolated her life.
1t has been a tradition since the
time of Nicholas j to name the Care
witches alternately Alexander and
Nicholas. But the murder of Alexan-
der II, caused his name to be con-
sidered unlucl<y, so there will be no
more Alexanderss on the Russian throne
as there will be no more Pauls or
Peters. The Czarevitch was, therefore
named Alexis, after the father of Peter
the Great. -

victor ana the Fish.

King Victor of italy is very fond of
fishing. but unfortunately he very sell
dom succeeds in catching many fish,
relates the NeY York Herald. The
other day, after fishing for several
hours, he was returning home with
three perch no bigger than sprats in
his bag. when he met peasant who
had also been fishing and had caught
several splendid trout.
We'll, neighbor, 1 see you haven't
caught many" said the peasant, with
q laugh, yet I don't see why, for
they're biting good to-day. 1 guess
you're the same kind of fisherman our
king is"
What do you mean?" asked King
Victor, blushing furiously.
oh" replied the peasant, I'VE all
know him. He thinks himself a great
sportsman, but he's no good at fish
ing. l suppose the Lord thought twas
enough to make him king without
making him at the same time a good
sportsman.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says:
at is surprising what a small change
in the popular vote cast in past cleo
lions would have changed the result,
even when one of the candidates had
large majority in the Electoral Col
lege. For example, in 1880 100000
votes were cast, and a change of about
10000 in New York would have elected
Hancock In 1884 nearly 100000
votes were cast. and Mr.. Cleveland
had a majority of 81 in the Electoral
College, and yet change of little
more than 500 votes in New York
would have elected Blaine. The result
of a presidential election in the past
has frequently hung on a few votes in
some state. and that may be the case
this time"

Two Kinds of Law.

Judge Julius NJ. Mayer tells a story
in the New York Times, about a white
man who was arraigned before a coll
ored justice of the peace during Re-
construction times for killing a man
and stealing his mule. 1t was in Ar
kansas. near the Texas border, and
there was some rivalry between the
states, but the colored justice tried
always to preserve an impartial frame
of mind.
''We'se got two kinds OBJ law in dis
we're cot he said. Texas law an
Arkansas law. Which will you hab?'
The prisoner thought a minute and
then guessed that he would take the
Arkansas law.
Den 1 discharge you TO stealin' de
mule an hang you fo' KILN de man"
Hold on a minute, judge" said the
prisoner. Better make that Texas
law"
"All right. under de law OBJ Texas
fine you TO- KILN de man and hang
you TO- stealth de mule"

The Wrong Direction.

William James, the noted psycholo-
gist of Harvard, was illustrating the
confusion into which childrens minds
may be thrown by the reception of diff
ferent ideas about the same subject,
says the Buffalo Enquirer
Henry Ward Beecher," he said,
furnished us in his childhood with a
good example of the thing 1 mean.
On the death of Beecher's mother the
little fellow was told by some that
she had gone to heaven and by
others that she had been laid in the
ground.
He brooded over these contradictory
ideas until they were reconciled in his
mind. Then, one morning, he was
found digging in the garden very
busily.
What are you doing?' they asked
him.
Why said the child, 4 am going
to heaven to find mother"

In "oIrR pnssEssInNs.v

Hon. Richard Olney's speech of a
few days ago on imperialism is the
strongest argument against the Phil
ippine policy of the Republican party
that has yet been submitted to the
public. Those who remember the days
of Reconstruction in the South-the
greedy, plundering carpet-baggers and
other scamps that were sent into this
section to fill the offices under Re-
publican regime-will be able to form
some idea of what sort of govern
ment. in all probability, the Filipinos
are at present living under. 1t re-
quires no stretch of imagination on the
part of those who lived in the South
between 1867 and 1876 to draw a mem
tai picture of the hangers-on and IA
vorites of Republican politicians who
have been sent to the Philippines to
hold the Offices. and how they have
doubtless fattened and grown sleek on
the hundreds of millions of dollars
taken out Of the pockets of the Amer
lean people for the civilization and
Il
islands are so far away, and the car
pet-baggers there nominally represent
ing the American people are so thor
oughly and firmly Joined together in
officialdom, that only faint echos Of
what they are doing in one way and
another reaches this part of the world.
There is, however. one redeeming
feature Of the Philippine business, as
seen from this section. though 1t is
rather selfish. it must be admitted. It
is. that If the carpet baggers. heelers,
practical politicians and relatives of
Republican congressman were not on
the other side of the earth, they
might be in Ohio, Pennsylvania. IN
diana, Illinois, etc. trying to raise
some sort Of trouble for the South.
We may, therefore, be gamers through
the troubles of the Filipinos.
Then there is another carpet-bag
government that the Republicans are
reveling in. We refer to the vice re-
gal. carpet-bag territory of Porto Rico.
Travellers who have lately visited that
island. but have no interest in the
show. report that a stranger finds II
impossible to distinguish an Ameri-
can Republican high official from
Skowhegan or Kalamazoo from a real
Spanish don, except by his speech.

George AIDE on Literature.

George AIDE was talking in Boston
about literature, according to the Bal
timore Evening Herald. He had decid-
ed tastes. The modern writers whom
he most admired were w. w. Jacobs,
Guy de Maupassant. H. G. Wells and
Pierre Lott. The name of certain
well known but little read novelist
came UP. and Mr.. AIDE said:.
He is good, but 1 can't stand his
affectations. Almost effeminate are
the little curlycues and pink-ribbon-
like concentrations that he pins on
his sentences"
'He is big" Mr.. AIDES companion
asserted. He grows bigger every
year"
How about his sales?"
''Well, they are dropping off,
Il see," said Mr.. AIDE you reckon
his bigness as you do that of ditch
the more you take away from it, the
bigger it becomes"
The Savannah morning news., 1904-10-31

President Roosevelt has denied the
plea of James n. Tyner for simple
justice. When a trial jury acquitted
the former assistant attorney general
of the Postoffice Department Of the
charges preferred against him, the
eighty-year-old man wrote to the chief
executive and asked that he retract
his bitter and vehement denunciation,
made previous to the trial. About the
simple plea for justice was a touch of
pathos. An old man, nearing the grave,
asked that the stain that had been
cast on his character be removed,
now that his innocence had been prov
en-. He asked that the man who had
publicly shamed him announce just as
publicly that twelve of his country
men had proclaimed him blameless. 1t
was not a plea for mercy. 1t was
just dying mans prayer for justice.
For several months the pathetic plea
was passed over in disdainful silence
Then the man who stands at the head
of the nation, a sworn defender of
justice, speaks: '"The President ac-
quiesces in the jury's findings, but the
evidence seems to him overwhelming
that you were either guilty of moral
obliquity or of the grossest inefficien-
cy." Practically he denies the plea
and rejects the verdict of the jury.
Publicly he seems to proclaim that
even though a jury. the constitutional
judges of guilt or innocence, have de-
clared the man not guilty, that he
still is far from innocent, and with
regret the President "acquiesces'' in
the jurys verdict. Justice seems to
have been pushed away because Mr..
Roosevelt declines to acknowledge that
he erred.
No matter what private opinions of
guilt or innocence may be held, we
believe that a verdict of innocence re-
turned by a jury after fair trial
should be final. The right of trial by
jury is guaranteed in the constitution
and that foundation of our government
declares by inference that its verdict
must be taken as a proof of innocence.
The charge of guilt was publicly made
by Mr.. Roosevelt and it would seem
that simple justice requires a public
retraction of the charges. The re-
traction would have shown the spirit
of a true man in the President. 1t
would have allowed an old man to die
in peace, his honor cleared. Fiat JUS
titia, ruat coelum.''
We must confess that the action of
Mr.. Roosevelt is not surprising. The
vehement charge of guilt. so prema-
turely made, is characteristic of his
impulsiveness. The refusal to retract
is in keeping with his head-strong
pride. The disregard of the jury's
verdict is not strange in one who has
set himself higher than the constitu-
sion order. the course in the Panama
rebellion. and a refusal to accept the
Senate's rejection of his Crum APP
pointment. Yet almost daily his
representatives on the stump claim
that all the President asks of his
critics is justice in estimating his ac-
tions. The cry seems to come with bad
grace from one who denies Justice to
others. The truth expressed by Mac
beth remains:
We still have judgment here; that we
but teach
Bloody instructions, which being
taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even
handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poi
sond chalice
To our own lips.
