on behalf Of their country and under

Much has been said regarding the
origin of Memorial Day, and a number
of theories have been advanced calcu-
lated to prove what suggested to Gen
eral Logan the idea to issue orders to
the Grand Army, OF which he then was
commander, designating a day on
which every year "the graves of COM

This celebration at all the Grand
Army posts set this beautiful example
to the people at large, and the custom
soon became a part of the annual life

statute books making May 80 a legal
holiday, which action was also taken
by most of the Northern and Western
States.
General Chapman attributed the

General John B. Murray, on the other
hand, has advanced the claim of a cele-

81, 1866. 1t has been shown that Gen.

John A. Logan, a distinguished soldier,
and no less distinguished as a states
man, then commander Of the Grand
Army of the Republic, that the nation
owes the establishment Of a National
Memorial Day."
General Logan issued the following
order on May 5, 1868:
1.-The 18th day Of May is designated
for the purpose of strewing with flow
ers or otherwise decorating the graves
of comrades who died in defense of
their country during the late Rebellion,
and whose bodies now lie in almost
every city, village and hamlet, church
yard in the land. In this observance
no form of ceremony is prescribed, but
posts and comrades will, in their own
way, arrange such fitting services and
testimonials of respect as circum-
stances may permit. We are organ
lied, comrades, as our regulations tell
us, for the purpose, among other things,
of preserving and strengthening those
kind and fraternal feelings which have
bound together the soldiers, sailors
and marines who united to suppress
the late Rebellion
what can aid more to assure this
result than cherishing tenderly the
memory of Dur heroic dead, who made
their breasts a barricade between our
country and it's foes? Their soldier
lives were the reveille Of freedom to a
ace in chains, and their deaths the
tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms.
"We should guard their graves with
sacred vigilance. All that the conse-
Grated wealth and taste of the nation
can add to their adornment and secur-
ity is but a fitting tribute to the men,

Thrill the avenue once again.

Gray and broken, the marching men.
Here a man, of a company;
Last of all-he is old and bent,
There a wavering line we see
That platoon was a regiment!
Drums are %throbbing, and bugles sing,
Flags are blazing above the line;
Comes the clinking that sabres bring,
Warming one like the rarest wine;
Comes the rumble of canno wheels,
Clint of button and epaulet;
Lit of fling and trumpet peals;
Far-of CLEAN of a bayonet.

Yet its fading is more than grand

Cheer! Till cheers from the sky resound!

LAW WILL Do ITS GOOD WORK
Judge Day Expresses Confidence in
the Operation of the Juvenile
Court.

After a six months trial Of the Juvenile
court law in Douglas county Judge Day is
convinced that the law is calculated to ac-
complish it's purpose.
1--WE will not see the full effect of the law,
though" said the head of the local juve-
nile court, until several years have passed.
1t has been my experience during the time
have had the criminal docket that the
persons who come here charged with crime
are men ranging in age from IS to Is years,
rarely over 80. These men come from our
own and adjoining states, and have been
mostly raised in the larger cities. great
majority OF them have begun the practices
which brought them under the eye of the
law as truants from school. This species
of delinquency led TO other and more serious
lapses, until finally they became marked
men with the police.
Now. the aim OF the Juvenile court law
is to assist parents to save their children
from the first false steps. The public
would be surprised TO find how many pa
rents do not know what their children are
up TO, or whether they are attending school
The truant officers and the juvenile court
officers are now established officials of
most of the states surrounding us, and
their work is bound TO tell. We do not aim
to punish boys or girls brought here so
much as we do to impress upon them that
they must behave themselves and play fair
And my experience is that where children
are properly Impressed with the knowledge
that they must go to school, be home at
night and shun bad companions and keep
out of questionable places we have little
trouble with them.
Hence il can be realized that It will re-
quire some years for the full fruits of this
new departure to be readily apparent to the
general community. When children are
started right they will, as a rule grow up
to be decent and law-abiding as well as
useful citizens The Juvenile court law and
other statutes OF a similar character will
result in decreasing the number of Grim
| inals or derelicts among the rising genera
| tion-of this l feel assured-and we should
have later on much less crime to deal with
in our courts"
