CHIsELNa STONE WITH A COMPRESSED
 AIR DRILL.
 with seven, Kentucky has six and oth. CT states and territories, mostly in the south, each a smaller number. The most notable of these government bu- rial grounds is at Arlington, Va.
 No nation has ever cared for its de- lenders as has America. Republics may be ungrateful. but monarchies are more so. The nations of the old world rear costly monuments to generals. admirals and what not, but the common soldier is neglected. to lie as he fell or to be piled with others in an unmark- ed trench. But democracy marks the resting place of the private as we'll as that of the captain. The leader is not less regarded than in the lands gov erned by kings and aristocracies. but the average man is more regarded. How could this democratic tendency be more beautifully typified than in our treatment of our dead soldiers? Nor is the care confined to northern men alone. There are In the neighborhood of 10000 Confederate dead in these various cemeteries. and 1t is safe to say that their graves are as tenderly cherished as are those of the Union side.
 Much Of the credit for inaugurating our national cemetery policy Is due to an almost unknown underclerk in vari- ous military departments who was ac- cidentally killed by falling under train in Chicago in 1903. His name was Thomas Brougham Baker. Through out the war between the states he la bored indefatigably to have the gov ernment set aside national cemeteries for the burial of the soldiers. When he presented the plan to an underoficial of the war department 1t was only to meet a rebun Then he took the case 10 Secretary Cameron. only to face defeat again. But he would not give up. He kept besieging Cameron till finally the doors were shut against him. When Edwin M. Stanton was made secretary of war Baker went to him and met a more favorable recep- ton. Stanton approved the idea. and when Lincoln heard of It the great heart of the martyr president warmed to the plan at once. Baker was given c cierkship. in which he helped keep q record of the burial of the soldiers. and not few of the perfect government files relating to the deaths and inter ment of the men who fell for the Un- ion are due to his efforts.
 Lincoln knew well of Bakers un- selfish vork. and if the great man had lived the services of the humble clerk wcuid have been ackrowiedged AS if vas. little or nothing WAS known of Bakers work until his own desth call cd attention to the part be had played So ssssduous had been bis efRorfs in behalf of establIshiug nafsonaI cene- neries that fr . tfme be wns reenr0se

The supreme court of the United States having turned down the ap- peal of Senator Burton from the judgment of the lower court and sen- fenced him to six months in jail, a fine of s2,500 and deprivation of the right to hold any office under the gov ernment, which of course means the loss of his seat in the senate, there is one more loophole. The court granted stay of sixty days for Sem ator Burton's attorneys to formulate a plea for rehearing. But though this will carry the case over till the next term of the court in October, it probably does not mean much. This much is practically assured, however, that Senator Burton will not resign, but will fight the case to the bitter end even though that end be the pen itentiary and the deprivation of civil rights. In all this there Is a moral. The mere conviction of Senator Bur ton does not matter particularly. He was a young man when he came to the senate two years ago. He was smooth shaven and smiling. He might pass for 25 or 30. Now he is gray mustached and looks all of 30. He has his nerve with him all right. When the news of his final convic- tion was sent him over the telephone he was in his room at one of the best hotels in Washington. eating a bowl of milk and crackers. He poured a little more milk into the bowl with a steady hand and remarked. That's bad hearing" and went on with his frugal luncheon.

It is customary for the war de partment to bear the expense of transferring soldiers from one post to another. but occasionally if hap pens that a soldier is compelled to pay his own way.

the expenses of the transfer, includ- ing his transportation from Platts- burg, N. Y., to San Francisco, but to give up his rank of corporal and re- turn to the ranks as a private. In consideration for private at San Francisco accepting the transfer to Plattsburg and paying his own ex- penses, the private will be given the position of corporal, voluntarily re- linquished by Stone. Such arrange ments are not common, but are some times made by the department in order to accommodate the soldiers. and it is stated that sometimes the soldiers are so anxious to make these changes that they are willing to not only pay their own expenses to the new post but also those of the sol dier coming the other way.

The first million dollar life insur- anee policy ever written was bought by George W. Vanderbilt in 1897. He was 35 years old at the time and agreed to pay s35,000 year for twenty years. According to the Worlds Work, if he had taken out this policy twenty years ago, he would have paid in by this time S700,000, which, at per cent com- pound interest, would have amounted to nearly s1,10O,000.
 The disgrace which has been brought upon the state of Kansas by Senator Burton-or rather. by those who are responsible for his election, for his character was we'll known in Kansas long before he was sent to Washington--this disgrace has been commented upon so often that the State Journal is not disposed to dwell upon 1t here. lt is to be hoped, how ever, that Kansas has learned a les- son.-Topeka Journal.

as insane on the subject. Lincoln was almost the only one who understood him, and that great friend of the com. mon soldier spoke frequently of the humble clerk and in the warmest terms. If republics are truly not un- grateful, Thomas Brougham Baker will be remembered on this Memorial day and on all succeeding ones.
 Few realize the labor entailef on those who make the monuments found in the national and other cemeteries where lie our soldier dead. Of late years the process has been much sim plified by the use of machinery. h. stead of the old laborious method of mallet and chisel compressed air is now employed to drive the bit that cuts the stone. The power Is applied through a long rubber tube, at the end of which the bit works. This gives much greater speed than the old way. nor is it so wearing upon the workmen.
 Years ago the late President McKin- ley recommended that the graves of the southern soldiers be included in the national cemeteries or at least that the states be assisted in caring for them. While no very great results have come from these large hearted at tempts as yet, the day seems rapidly approaching when something practical will be done toward realizing the end that the third of the martyr presidents had in view. Bills to this effect have been introduced in the present session of congress. That the bitterness of sec tionalism has passed away is shown by no body of men more than by the sur viving soldiers on both sides. They learned to respect each other, even on the battlefield, and after the conflict was over that respect mellowed into love. If they can forgive and forget, why should not all others be equally generous and magnanimous? There was no question of north and south among the soldiers of the Spanish war. Why should there be any such question among the people at large? America is one forevermore. Let the flowers of Memorial day fall on the grave of ev- cry soldier regardless of the side on which he fought. By no single act can the ties of union be made stronger.
 In keeping with this sentiment sec tion of Arlington cemetery has been set aside for the burial of the Confed- crate dead. Special appropriation was made by congress for this purpose, which action called forth a resolution of thanks from the United Confederate veterans in the reunion at Memphis.
 As further evidence of the fraternal feeling now existing between the sec tions one needs but to recall the bur ial of General Joseph Wheeler at Ar lington. The reception of the repre- sentatives of Camp A. Wheelers Con- federate cavalry, when they visited Washington was of sufficient warmth to melt any lingering ice of animosity. if such existed. They were cordially welcomed by the president. who sent them an urgent request to call and see him. They invited the head of the na- tion to attend the Wheeler memorial at Atlanta. which he promised to do If business did not prevent. They also in-
