MEMORIAL DAY.

Tomorrow the people Of the nation
will pause for a time in order that the
graves of the nations heroes may be
decorated with flowers and the memory
of their patriotic deeds more indelibly
impressed upon the minds of the liv-
ing. More N mor the day is coming
to be regarded as one sacred alone to
the soldier dead. There are other days
for the decoration Of the graves Of
dear ones not connected with Memorial
day In its fullest sense. This is n day
upon which the living should seek in
every conceivable way TO commemor-
ate the undying virtues of those who
laid down their lives that the govern
ment at Washington might o pass
from the earth.
At times thoughtless ones have
sought to make of it a day of sport, a
day upon which all sorts Of amuse-
ments and outdoor games might be
carried on, but the tendency of the
times is against this sort of thing. One
patriotic person has said to The Repub-
lican that there is just as much reason
for holding a ball in commemoration
OF Good Friday as to devote Memorial
day to amusements
In the days to come in all probable
ity this day will be given entirely to
the soldiers who have gone before, 9th
err people preferring to decorate the
graves of their dear ones upon some
July n certainly be given up to pa
triotic ceremonies. On Memorial day
there should be a tear of sadness; up
on the Fourth general rejoicing over
the nations birth.

His Fitness Unquestioned--
Governor b. B. Brooks has announc-
ed in a letter to Editor Mokler of the
Casper Tribune that he will be a can,
didate for denomination for governor
at the coming republican state conven,
ton. Governor Brooks has made O
good governor, giving the state a con
sentative and b~usiness-like administra
ton. No one in the state questions his
ability or integrity, and while there
are some whose first choice is some
other man there are few indeed who
find fault with his judgment in matters
affecting the affairs of state.-Newcas-

DESERT LAND PATENTS.

Congressman Mondell has presented
to the secretary of the interior a petit
ton from a large number of desert
land entrymen in the Jackson Hole
section, Wyoming, praying that the rul-
ing requiring final certificate of water
right from state board of control be
fore patent shall issue be modified so
that proof of compliance with state law
be required, as formerly.
Under the former practice, changed
by the secretary in February, 1904, 1t
was held TO be sufficient If the claim
ant made proof that he had secured
water right under the state law, made
appropriation of sufficient water to re
claim all the land susceptible of irriga-
engineers office that his works had
been completed. Upon this showing
dnal certificate and patent would issue.
The new ruling of the secretary, how
ever, requires final certificate from the
state board of control and as a very
large number of the streams of the
state have not as yet been adjudicated
patents are held up indefinitely, thus
not only keeping the claimants out of
perfect title, but also keeping the state
out of much taxable property.
The board is making all possible eff
fort to hurry the matter OF. adjudica-
ton, but it is slow, painstaking work
and cannot be rushed through in a day.
Mr.. Mondell calls attention to the
fact that Wyoming in this instance is
paying the penalty of having good
laws. If her laws were as lax as those
of many of the arid states, it would
be easier for citizens to obtain title to
water n to land He is decidedly of
the opinion that the interior depart
ment would be safe to permit the en-
trymen to work under the old rulins
and will urge with all his might a
change from the present somewhat on
eroGs practice.

The Presidents Next

His work in behalf of the railroad
rate bill performed, the restless mind
of our president seeks another field of
service in behalf of the people. 1t is
understood that he has in preparation
a message asking for the passage of
a new meat inspection law-one which
will make the label, Inspected and
passed. an actual guarantee of the
cleanliness Of the preparations.
The president could not carry his
reformatory zeal into p. better field
There can be no doubt tlSl many thou,
sands of people have been very much
disturbed by Upton Sinclair's book,
THE Jungle" The confident state
ments made in it regarding the ways in
which packing house inspection is reg.
ularly iuggled in Chicago may not all
be true, but in the literary sense they
are convincing" they strongly ap-
pear to be true, and people are infu-
enced by them. 1t is known that the
sale of canned meats, and of meats put
up in Chicago in various ways for the
market, has greatly declined as the re
suit Of the vivid descriptions publish,
ed in this book.
1t is the privilege of a novelist OF
power TO hypnotic the world into an
acceptance of fancied scenes as if they
were true. A great deal of the detail
in Uncle Toms Cabin was ~altogeth,
er exceptional, but it was so well put in
that the American people believed it
was Characteristic, and rose and de-
stroyed the institution that it depict
ed. The Jungle" is evidently quite
as one-side& a picture of life and work
in ~Packingtown as Uncle Toms Ca
bin" was of slavery. But it is making
its way as an accepted record just the
same.
And in all probability Packingtown
needs reform. Everything hat goes
into and comes out of its great estab-
lishments, where everything about the
hog is marketed except the squeal,'
ought to be inspected twice. There i:
good reason to believe that the scru
tiny in that direction had become abou'
as lax in certain spots as the inspec
ton Of the steamboats, was in New
York before the Slocum disaster. The
system of inspection in both cases
had become really a system of evad-
ing ~inspection-Wyoming Tribune.

And strew the grave with pretty flow.

With affection pure and simple,

But now to shed a tear and weep,

this city and Hermosa is being laid
with 9O-pound steel and to the further
fact that a considerable portion of the
line west of this city and this side OF
Medicine Bow is being double-tracked.
And there is another circumstance
they might also take into considera'
ton, the fact that the 7O-pound steel

LONGEVITY of Birds.

The longevity of parrots, ravens
and certain other birds has been re-
marked for many centuries, but NAT
uralists are still uncertain as to the
limits, under the most favorable cir
cumstances. One vulture, in the zoo
logical gardens in Vienna, lived lis
yeas in captivity, and the inference
is plain that birds of its kind might
live much longer in exceptional cases.

cIeverness of the Young.

With steady but increasing pace
the world is approaching a point at
which the cleverness of the young
will amount to a social problem. Al.
ready things are getting uncomfof-
table for persons of age and sobriety,
whose notion of happiness is to rum
mate a few solid and simple ideas in
a freedom from disturbance.-Macmil

The senate promises to give serious
consideration to the majority report of
its committee favoring a sea-level ca
nal. There is much to commend the
report, and nothing save expense
against 1t. Some are in a hurry fol
the canal, but we are getting along
fairly well and can afford TO wait a
few years longer If the best can be
had by waiting, 1t is urged by the sea
level advocates that such a canal
would not only give vastly better ser
vice, but it would be free from danger
from earthquakes, which are a serious
menace in that volcanic region. A lit
tie matter of fifty or a hundred million
dollars is a mere trine, don't you know,
to your Uncle Samuel. He can write
his check for the sea-level affair, If he
chooses to do so, and never miss the
sum from his plethoric bank account.

The sense of smell has been consid

James C. Rather and Miss Mary
Short were married at Norman, N. Y,

bridegroom's financial standing, or
anything of that sort.

to the Cheyenne Tribune says that
about the only politics being talked at

Substantial Recognition.

Gratitude can never compensate for
loss of life and health and property. IN
the name of all that's good, in the name
of all that's honorable, in the name of
justice, and in behalf of all true and
loyal citizens of this republic, let it
be insisted that our government shall
not only keep this day sacred to the
memory of its heroic dead, but that it
shall give substantial recognition to
its defenders and their dependents.
Today, basking as W. do under the
benign influences of a free govern
ment, living as we do in a country
whose hills and valleys, whose woods
and plains, whose lakes and rivers,
whose climate and esource furnish
such a diversity of employment that
we could live in afluence without the
products of any ether country, l ask
to whom are we indebted if not to the
boys in blue?
'Tis a heritage it seems to me
Worth being proud to hold in fee"
Higher and Nobler Reasons.
Yet there are higher and nobler rea-
sons for III gratitude-for you and
your comrades whom we mourn today,
not only preserved for us and posterity
this goodly land-but you preserved
our nations honor, you made liberty
the birthright of every American citi-
zen, you wrote in crimson the verdict
of freedom.
You broke the gives of slavery
With strong and high disdain,
And forged no scepter from the links
When you had broke the chains
Surely it was in no inglorious cause
your comrades fell, and on each ecu
ring Memorial day let is
"Strew Ger the graves of the fallen
Flowers of every name
Roses as red as their life blood
Lilies as white as their fame"
Abode in Silent City.
All honor to the living, all honor to
the dead, soon you win take up your
abode in the silent city, and it shall
be said of you as it is of them
"Once in the roar of BATTLE
Rang forth their echoing cry,
Once by the light of the campfire
They watched, for the foeman was
nigh,
Ready to spring at the summons,
Ready the call to obey
Now have they rest from their labors,
Rest from the march and the fray"
Respectfully yours,
HOSMER H. HENDEE.

SACRED
THE DAY
Continued from page u

entire north, from New Hampshire's
granite peaks to the Golden Gate, came
the patriotic answer-reyi5rating DER
hill and plain, We're coming, Father
Abraham, three hundred thousand
strong" Some of you were among the
number. Some lie buried in the sunny
south, then darkened by the clouds of
war; some survived the conflict only to
find premature graves in their native
heath.
Will Endure to End of Time.
Yes, they are gone; cut down in the
prime of their manhood, yet though
their lives were shortened, the results
they helped to accomplish will endure
to the end of time. Let no hand de
spoil their resting place, and let no
tongue traduce their memory, and as
the years roll on, let this day be ever
kept sacred in their honor. Let the
tears of their children mingle with the
tears of their comrades, while we
weave garIands from natures choicest
flowers with which to decorate their
graves, that the world may know that
when a soldier weeps DER a brothers
bier,
He weeps for a brave one dead,
For never yet was a soldiers tear
Shed DER a %craven's head"
Character of the Soldier.
How grand, how enobling, how wor-
thy of emulation is the character of
the soldier. who, breaking away from
the ties of friends, kindred and home,
with no thought of self, goes forth to
battle in defense of liberty! His life is
not his own, for it is consecrated to his
country; his triumphs are not his own,
for they inure to the benefit of all;
his sacrifices are not for himself but
for others, and his reward is not meas
ured by paltry gold. He feels amply
recompensed by the knowledge of hav-
ing done his duty and gained the
wealth of love and gratitude Of his
countrymen, and though all this is true,
neither the soldier, nor his widow, nor
his dependents can subslst on love
alone.
