boys in blue. During the past year a
great many have finished their march
from the mountain of time to the sea
of eternity.
The citizens of Ritzville will assist
the Grand Army men and the Ladies
Relief Corps of this community to pay
their tribute of respect to those who
defended the country when it's flag was
in danger. Let every place of bust
ness be closed out of respect for those
who died that this nation might live.
A few years hence we will look for
the men in vain who answered the
countries call in 81 to '65. An ex-
change says:
Each year the ranks Of the civil war
veterans become thinner and thinner.
Each year the heads of the men who
wore the army blue are bowed a little
lower, and each year the old soldiers
march on Decoration day with slower
steps.
Not great many men who did the
fighting are left to observe Decoration
day. 1t will not be many years more
till they will join their comrades.
Soon the other veterans, the soldiers
of the late Spanish-American war,
will decorate their graves and observe
Decoration day.
But the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic are still the
loyal citizens they were from 81 to
'65. Their society is doing more than
almost any other organization to keep
patriotism alive in the public schools.
The flag is as sacred to them today as
during the great struggle for it's safety
and they are teaching the rising
generation the value of good citizenship

Mrs. WIN. Mckinley is no more.
She passed to the hereafter on the
26th of this month. For years she
had been an invalid. Although re-
covering from the shock of her hus-
bands tragic death, it left its mark
for, when it was known that she
had suffered stroke of paralysis,
little hope was entertained that she
could survive. DR.. Bristol, Mrs. Nc
Kinley's pastor, paid the following
tribute to the memory Of this noble
daughter of America:
"The death of Mrs. Mckinley will
touch very tender chord of feeling
and regret in every American heart.
No woman has ever occupied warmer
place in the affection and veneration
of our people.
1.-THE unspeakable sorrow of her
life admitted her into the most holy
places Of the sanctuary of a nation s
sympathy. Her life, associated with
that of her illustrious husband, will
ever be enshrined in the most hallow-
ed memory of her country. The ideal
charm and beauty Of that married life
can never be effaced from our admira-
ton.
"The spotless love and undying
chivalry of William Mckinley and the
sweet pathetic devotion of that noble
woman have passed into the most
sacred traditions of American domestic
life.
"A new glory and sanctity must
evermore attach to that revered
White House since William Mckinley
and the wife who was the idol of his
heart and the joy of his eyes and the
inspiration OF his life made that
MANSION his home.
Il never knew woman more
wrapped up in the goodness and per.
ection of her husband than was Mrs.
Mckinley. And l never knew a mar
who loved woman more tenderly OF
ever devoted himself more constantly
to the comforts and happiness of his
wife than William Mcinley. 1t was
beautiful day in their lives that brought
them together; 1t was sad day thai
separated them for while; it was &
blessed day that reunites them for.
ever"

SPARKS FROM
DIFFERENT ANVILS.

Politics is now being administered
in Ohio in homeopathic doses. At a
meeting of the state society of Ohio
homeopathic the other day resolutions
were adopted to work for the defeat
of Forakers aspiration to control the
Ohio delegation in the next national
convention. 1t was alleged that his
position on the pure food bill was
wrong, and in addition he is charged
with working for osteopathy and
Christian Science.-Tacoma Ledger
1t might be good plan to punish
the parents of some of these tough
boys who are so often arrested in
Spokane for petty crimes. The parents
are surely to blame for a great part
of the boys actions, for they have not
given their offspring the right kind
of chance. -Spokane Chronicle.
Kansas City, Mo-, has no need to
feel envious of other places because
the exposure of graft in her polic,.
department comes this late. The
doors of the penitentiary swing open
as easily today as yesterday.-Island
County Times.
The American people, whether they
appreciate the fact or not, have an
outspoken and courageous press to
thank for great hue and cry which is
at present bounding scores of grafters
boodlers, robbers and corruptionists to
the penitentiary in many parts of the
union. Doubtless the public conscience
prompted the press to raise its voice
with no uncertain sound for uncom-
promising honesty in civic and corpo-
rate affairs, says contemporary, but I'M
til the press spoke the public conscience
was without adequate articulation.
The press, in short, has stirred the
shady animals up along the line, and
its good work has just begun. Odessa
Record.
The socialist reporters at Boise,
Idaho, are having scrap among
themselves, and all from the same
cause that set the populists against
each other, when that ilk flourished in

refuse to recognize the moderates,
but grasp every opportunity of call
ing them traitors because they re.
fuse to talk anarchy and rebellion
at all times. Wilbur Register.

Growing the Dead.

Again, in the season of beauty,
When the blush of the rose is born
In the kiss which the earth at her
robing
Receives on her bridal morn,
Let US think of the heroes that slumber
Away from the light of the sun
Where the banners of forests are
waving
And the musical rivers run.
Their battles have faded to echoes,
A dream of the passionate past,
And never bugle can waken
Their sleep with a resonant blast:
But 10, with our garlands of fragrance
We come, by their brave banner led,
And honor the living by wreathing
The graves of our consecrate dead.
Oh, somewhere, from star homes of
luster.
They smile on the grace of our deed
And know that the patriot spirit
Is here for the crisis of need;
And know, while our colors are
streaming
Again where the war clouds are
rolled,
We remember their day of devotion
And their watches of midnight will
hold.
And what shall we gather but flowers
To hallow the patriots sleep,
These gifts of the dew and daylight
That ever memorial keep
Of the spirit immortal and ever,
In bursting the charnel of death
Are rendering the perishing garlands
On the mystical shrine of faith.
