To HaIIow Memorial Day.

The example of Kansas in preserving
Memorial day as a sacred and solemn
festival Of the dead Ii likely to be fol-
lowed in other states Of the Union.
Loud protests have been made from
year TO year against the Dissertation,
especially In and around the large
cities, Of this day by noisy outings and
sports. Memorial day was designed
by Its founders az a national tribute 70
the dead Of the civil war armies. The
people have broadened IL into a festival
Of remembrance for the dead of all
ranks, adding TO It's popularity without
detracting from It's lofty and peculiar
character. Its appeal Is now universal,
extending beyond the veteran circles
which organized the ceremonies and
cOnsecrated them to patriotism. But
the semlmtrtial aspect must ever re-
main, even when the last survivor OF
the armies Of 1851 shall have been
mustered In the bivouac OF the dead.
War memories will be uppermost, and,
as the Chicago Tribune recently OBJ
served, It is worth while for the whole
people OF the United States to recall
each year the devotion Of the men who
preserved the nation during the most
terrible conflict In history, Says the
Tribune:
For four long years 100 men day. week
days and Sundays, were lost In the fight
for the Union. For four long years on the
average t2,5000O0 was spent every day TO
preserve the heritage OF the fathers. IL
every man, woman and child In Chicago
we're marshaied In mighty army It
would not be 80 large as the host which
followed the flag from Sumter 10 Apo
mattox. when the war was over and the
reckoning was made, 100000 men were
dead or had lost a limb or health that the
linton might live and that government
Of the people by the people and for the
pbaplc" should not perish,
such W srihceB deserve recollection. Me-
mortal day should not be diverted 10 sport.

strictsF observance Of Sunday az a day
Of rest, not necessarily Of worship. II
Is the theory Of these scientific agita-
tors that one day Of rest in the week
Is conducive to public safety. In
France and Belgium II Is found that
the smallest number Of accidents oc-
ours on Monday and the largest num-
Der occurs on Saturday.
In Berlin the institute Of insurance
has tabulated the significant showing
that Of Industrial accidents % per cent
take place during the morning and -
per cent during the afternoon. The
same thing Is shown In a tabulation Of
5,534 accidents in France. Accidents
increase from hour to hour up to the
noon stop for luncheon. After the noon
rest there Ii another minimum. increas-
ing hourly until quitting time II sta
tlstlcs prove anything, they seem to
prove that physical fatigue has much
to do with accidents.
In this country we hear frequently Of
q railroad wreck resulting from a mis-
take on the part CT an operator, an
engineer or a switchman who has been
on duty many hours beyond the rea-
sonable limit Of human endurance. The
higher officials who are responsible for
this condition might study with profit
to the public the European statistics
mentioned.
